Happy birthday!

Any chance someone with decent vision could list the titles, please? Only the ALT text just says that there's a stack of books.

Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

So true!

I was once at a thing in Dublin & some guy was holding forth about "immigrants", so I said:
"I'm an immigrant" & he responded, almost without missing a beat: "Not *your* kind of immigrant" - but wouldn't be drawn on that by me, & no-one else asked him.

It's super disturbing.

A picture from The Hobbit showing Bilbo with pointed ears and various dwarves - noted enemies of the elves. The caption reads: "Characters playing elves in the fantasy film The Hobbit: An unexpected journey (2012) wore prosthetic ears.

I was discussing the concept of mise en scene with someone and I couldn't remember the precise definition so I looked it up. I ended up on the BBC GCSE Bitesize website and found this picture. The error in the caption could start entire WARS.

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up.
