It makes me so mad when people I don't know use "tu" with me aha - some people see it as very equalizing ("we're all friends and relaxed here!!") but if I'm interacting with an authority figure or even a researcher I've just met I see it as so rude.

It's amazing how huge movie theaters got in such a short time. On the left is Cinéma Omnia Pathé in 1913 and on the right the Grand Rex in 1933.

Reading on the first movie theaters all over the world and I love this one from Milwaukee which opened in 1902.
Excerpt from Milwaukee Movie Theaters by Larry Widen. By 1899, movies were one of the attractions at summer amusement parks such as Chutes Park at the eastern end of North Avenue and Coney Island in Shorewood. But it wasn't until 1902 that the first actual motion picture theater came into being. Max Goldstein, a bricklayer by trade, saw the movies as a way to become his own boss. He leased a small storefront near Second Street and Wisconsin Avenue and filled it with rows of wooden benches. A piece of muslin tacked to the wall served as the screen. Admission was 5¢ for 30 minutes of silent films with music provided by a pianist.

For obvious reasons almost every story about an evil theme park is Disney or P. T. Barnum themed but imagine if someone made a Gargantua themed video game...it would be so sick...

The statue of Gargantua overlooking the Mirapolis theme park in France. The theme park was only opened for four years.

Handbook: "Let your character's background and species inspire how you imagine their past. That past fed into the character's present."
Me: huuuuh I was president of France?

My friends invited me to my first game of DnD. The character sheet and the handbook made me panic so I'm playing a tiefling named Jacques Chirac. He's a noble rogue.
A screenshot of a DnD character sheet where the player had no idea what to do or who to be so they took a picture of French president Jacques Chirac smoking a cigarette and hastily drew two horns on him.

Half of my friends have misread this comic and think that *I'm* picking up the earbud and putting it in *my* ear, which:
-pain of a beginner artist, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll fix it-
-is so much more horrific than the actual comic I wish I had drawn this instead
