Legolas and Gimli meme. The captions on the three panels read: Gimli: "Never thought I'd did fighting side by side with the French." Legolas: "Qu’en est-il côte à côte avec un ami?" Gimli: "What?"

This might well be one of the best, and certainly most quotable, Disney movies ever.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

An appropriately festive entry!

Instead of seeing adverts to make me use gambling apps, I'm now seeing adverts that tell me *not* to use gambling apps. But I have to not use *their* app, not not use some other app... 🙄

I'd never thought about joining a political party. I've been massively disappointed with every political interaction I've ever had - I've only ever voted for a winner in the last General. Despite all this, and *gestures at everything* I'm thinking of joining @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's Green Party.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Photo of page in Private Eye LATEST 'BIG BEAST' DEFECTS TO REFORM by Our BBC Correspondent E.Z. Questions FOLLOWING on from Nadine Dorries, Reform was celebrating another big-name defection to the party after their conference in Birmingham, as rumours swirled that Chris Mason had defected to Reform. "Chris's breathless coverage of our conference could have come straight from our press office," said a jubilant Reform spokesman. "Watching him fanboy Nigel Farage and talk up his prospects to be the next Prime Minister, despite Reform only having four MPs, left us in no doubt that Chris was one of us." Chris Mason, however, played down the prospect of him defecting to Reform, saying, as a senior BBC political correspondent, he must remain totally impartial and in favour of the Conservative party at all times. ---+++--- REFORM MEMBERS ASK: WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE BEING ALLOWED IN? by Our Man In Birmingham Lee Vurr

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com
Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

It’s the little moments of grace. Mike Krukow could have used moment to talk about himself. Instead he shifted the focus to how Fernando Valenzuela belongs in the Hall Fame

@wilwheaton.net just want to say how much I enjoyed TableTop back in the day. I'm rewatching old episodes and it's such a great show. Thank you for making it.

Watching Mission Impossible 2 for the first time in about 20 years. I think I saw this at a formative age; I remember an awful lot of what is happening. Plus the accents are amazing! 😂
