Going downhill is the worst (unless one has wheels and good breaks).

Can go back even further than that, really.

Nine year old assistant has helpfully summarised Doctor Who and the Terror of the Zygons for me: “The Loch Ness Monster isn’t good or bad, it’s just a big puppy and they’ve hidden its treat.”

Clas Ohlson behandlar verkligen sina anställda uselt trots stora vinster.
Dessutom, om vi vänstergubbar nu måste bojkotta företaget, ska vi verkligen behöva irra runt planlöst på stan när våra fruar ”bara behöver gå på en affär till”?

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice?
"You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

Ending the show by having her and the snotty girl at her school blow up the whole town and doing a Thelma and Louise down the Niagara Falls sure was a choice.

Ég hef verið að hlusta á Fóstbræðrasögu öðru hvoru fyrir svefninn og ég er á barmi þess að gera bunka af jörmum uppúr henni. Þangað til eru hérna Njálujörm sem ég gerði um árið og er ansi stolt af 🤓

Brennu-Njáls saga. Mím með tveimur myndum af sama gæja, fyrst spenntur á svipinn yfir textanum „Vel skrifuð bardaga-atriði, stingandi móðganir, klúrir brandarar, fleygar setningar og nákvæmar lýsingar á lifnaðarháttum fyrri alda.“ svo með vonbrigðasvip yfir setningunni „Heilu kaflarnir af ættartölum eða lagalegu hrognamáli sem útskýrir á óskiljanlegan hátt mikilvæga framvindu sögunnar.“

Mím þar sem Phoebe úr Friends fer hægt með setningu og Joey endurtekur hana í litlum bútum. Í lokin segir Phoebe alla setninguna og Joey endurtekur hana kolrangt. Hér er Phoebe merkt sem Njáll og Joey sem Gunnar. Setningin er „Ef þú ferð eigi utan og rýfur sætt þína þá munt þú drepinn vera hér á landi“. Joey/Gunnar segir í lokin „Fögur er hlíðin svo að mér hefir hún aldrei jafnfögur sýnst, bleikir akrar en slegin tún, og mun ég ríða heim aftur og fara hvergi.“

Mynd af Leonardo DiCaprio í fansí jakkafötum með drykk í glasi og svip sem virðist vera hann að hlæja að þeim sem eru verr settir en hann. Á myndinni er hann merktur sem Mörður Valgarðsson á meðan vinur hans reynir að drepa frænda hans fyrir utan heimili hans.

Meme af konu að öskurgráta og benda til hægri meðan önnur kona heldur utan um hana. Hægra megin við myndina er mynd af hvítum ketti að sitja við matarborð og gretta sig fyrir framan disk af grænmeti, í áttina að hinni myndinni. Fyrsta myndin er merkt sem „Hallgerður, eftir að Bergþóra biður hana að skipta um sæti við veislu á Bergþórshvoli“ og kötturinn er merktur sem Gunnar.

Happy Anniversary to this photo of me in a casual RenFaire version of Bellara when I was secretly in the midst of playing Veilguard early, had already agreed to go to Faire that day weeks before, and desperately needed to touch grass. 😂

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.
