The template shows a series of quick, escalating reaction shots of Vince McMahon, here in a three-panel grid. He is seen reacting with increasing shock and excitement to someone's entrance to the ring. In the final panel, his mouth is open wide in disbelief.

Me: “hey Siri, what’s the temperature out?”

Siri in an Irish accent: “It’s 15 degrees out. It was basically winter when you left the house this morning so now you look like a right proper fool.”

Hey Morning Brain? Toothpaste ≠ hand cream. It should not be treated as such.

I am DYING. ☠️ There were… SO MANY signs this was not a legit event.

Glasgow Willy Wonka experience called a ‘farce’ as tickets refunded
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

A terrible and haunting AI-made promotion on the website for this obviously very sketchy event. "Encherining Entertainment," "Catgacating - live performances - Cartchy tuns - exarserdray lollipops, a pasadise of sweet teats." Image features a Willy Wonka-esque clown surrounded by giant candy

A sketchy looking lady in a green wig stands behind a counter covered in… I guess it's candy lab equipment??

A rainbow arch leads guests into a nearly empty warehouse area containing like a couple of teddy statues and vaguely Wonka-esque things?

Giant mushrooms stand in a corner of an empty warehouse area across from a giant lollipop and a big red fake plant and several obviously Christmas-themed candy canes. It doesn't exactly read "whimsical."

I just watched Gladiator for the first time. Um. All the folks who bitched about historical inaccuracies in the sequel need to rewatch the OG.

Also, I’m still not over Ridley Scott looking at Joaquin Phoenix and saying, “This man. This man who plays losers so good. THIS MAN should play Napoleon.” 🎥

Ya know those finance YouTubers who tell everyone to become landlords because it’s such a good ✨ investment ✨? They all eventually make videos showing damages done by the tenants.

And I watch them to feel something.

Hi! Sorry I missed your request. A lot of your posts aren’t strictly history related so I’m not going to add you automatically but your posts tagged with #history will get into the feed. :)

Jillianne Hamilton 🦇 @jilly.ca · 3d

All posts tagged history already make it into the feed. :)

I logged back in to Pillowfort (apparently I already had an account??) and oh boy. Justified test, huh?

(I know it may seem like a small detail but it hurts my brain.)

AI discourse has taught me that there are apparently millions of adults who honestly believe that their 3rd grade teacher had them do a research paper on an animal because she really wanted to know more about leopards and shit.

A zoomed in version of original painting featuring a deliriously joyful face with an open mouth and a ghoulish character akin to Gollem from LOTR smiling at the artist and I don’t like it.
