honestly bears have the right idea. eat salmon, get fat, sleep through winter. 10/10 life plan, no notes.
I had already given notice at my job when I fixed a problem for our department head. He jokingly asked me not to leave, I said they'd be fine without me. He said "When Garrett Fitzgerald left the board of Aer Lingus, they had to replace him with three people!"
I was, no joke, moved to tears.

I wish more people I knew, or just English-speaking people on the Internet, knew about David Castello-Lopes, because then I could say things like "aaaah il a établi un norm arbitraire le fils de pute!" and people would get what I meant.

there is something oddly cheering about the way people have reacted to Tarantino's comments on Paul Dano. just a cavalcade of "screw you, he's great!" and an article in the Guardian about his 10 best performances.

Gonna be even more earnest than usual on main, but I wanted to share. Because I have a bunch of pain stuff I was in my thoughts about it, and I said to myself, “I have to show love to my body. My body is doing the best it can.” so if anybody needs this, it made me feel good to say that

y'know, people memed the shit out of this but it probably saved lives? I for one have stayed at home in a storm more than once because I could hear Teresa yelling DON'T MAKE UNNECESSARY JOURNEYS!!! in my mind.
This day 10 years ago Teresa Mannion was telling us not to make unnecessary journeys as Storm Desmond hit.

one of my favourite books is How To Talk About Books You Haven't Read by Pierre Bayard. ironically, I have read it multiple times and I hardly ever talk about it.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.

Hearing Sam's message was such a thrill! Zombies, Run! has been keeping me sane and healthy since 2020 and it's a relief and a delight to know it's back in the hands of its creators.
just incredibly thrilled to announce that after months and months of uncertainty over the future of the game, and several I have bought Zombies, Run!, the game I co-created and have been making for the past 12 years:

Jesus's whole ministry is asking, in part: what it is to be strong? where is our strength? Who has power, and what, if anything, is earthly power? heavy questions, not answerable by "power is dominance" (per Jesus, it is not!)

There's a new Swedish drama on Disney+. Good! It has audio dubs in 8 languages. Great! It has regular subtitles in 13 languages and CC subtitles in two. Amazing!
Guess which language has an audio dub but doesn't have regular subtitles? Yes, that's right: English!
ARRRGH!
