increasingly of the opinion that stealing Big Famous Jewels from big famous institutions is kiiiiiind of a victimless crime, guys

I have long been anti-diamonds, but honestly like there are no Big Famous Jewels that weren't paid for by absolutely apocalyptic human suffering

I dreamt they made a live action adaptation of Calvin and Hobbes... But Calvin is an young adult, and realises everybody was invited to Sally's wedding except him, and when he crashes the party he finds out it's because she's still on love with him.

Galera a gente tá na época reprodutiva das mucuras, vulgo saruês, vulgo gambás, vulgo cassacos.

São nossos marsupiaizinhos, nativos, predam animais peçonhentos como cobras e escorpiões. Vamos zelar por elas.

Any discussion of traditional English food and identity that isn't grounded in eels is a lie. #TrueEelFacts

British racists are mere weeks away from a scurvy outbreak because citrus fruits are "fancy foreign muck"

A tweet from a poster called Jess Gill, who writes: "I've never had curry or a kebab and don't intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala. We only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism"

Acabei de aprender uma que alegrou meu dia, no Pinterest agora dá pra excluir imagens de IA.
Vá em Configurações > Refinar suas recomendações > Interesses de IA Generativa > desmarca tudo.
Acabei de fazer isso e a cara do app JÁ MUDOU. Não sei se vai sumir com tudo de vez, mas melhorou.
Espalhe!

What the fuck do I care if they’re a 45 million or 52 million or 111 million so long as I have good moderation tools and I’ve been entertained, informed, and connected to people? Everyone writing about echo chambers needs to get a fucking life. Touch grass. Log off. /fin maybe

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

One of the hardest things about so many surviving medieval texts—particularly in Arthurian Legend—is you don’t know if they were meant to be taken seriously, or if they were meant to be jokes, told to drunk people, while drunk

This is one reason Monty Python is FR one of the best retellings

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

There are millions of copies of Jane Eyre in the world. There is only one in which my family has corresponded with the text and each other across decades.

tira de 2021 - saiu na Folha @folha.com

Tira em 5 quadrinhos.
1) Mulher caminha. De um muro próximo, um pequeno monstro se prepara para atacar, munido de uma broca de manivela.
2) O monstrinho pula sobre a mulher, surpreende-a e começa a girar a broca, abrindo um buraco no alto da cabeça dela.
3) A mulher tenta agarrar as pernas e braços do monstrinho - ele já está se enfiando pelo buraco aberto na cabeça dela.
4) O monstrinho já está inteiro dentro do buraco, só os pezinhos ainda estão de fora. A mulher tem uma expressão de agonia e incômodo.
4) A mulher, ainda impactada, conversa com um amigo e diz: “Uma ideia me teve”
