a woman staring out the a raindrop-covered window. meme experts will recognize her from the distracted boyfriend meme

the deep substrate foliated kalkite, if you will, of Online Politics Discourse

King George III of the United Kingdom of Great Britain in 1765, 1788-1789, and 1810-1820:

King George III trying to get an explanation from Massachusetts loyalists as to what the fuck exactly is happening in his colony, 1765-1775:

I’ve really enjoyed 4/20, the Bluesky holiday where everyone reveals their deranged relationship with airports

If you think the nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford is the most powerful ship in the world, you are wrong. It's actually the German cruise ship Mein Schiff 4 (pictured), which successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend

Hitlers Dog would escape to Argentina but he would be killed by a Sirfetch’d of 3 Commando Brigade outside Port Stanley on 12 June 1982

I’m a farfalle hater so ya gotta go gemelli

Nobody in the history of theory has ever read theory
