Nothing I love more than just picking a random area of england in google maps and zooming in until the really silly place names start appearing
A screenshot from google maps showing villages called 'Broadbottom' and 'Holehouse' among others.

As promised. Tell me this isn't a perfect takedown of the tech billionaire set and their journalistic and political sycophants, written a full century and a half ago
When the elastic of historical argument is stretched to breaking point, when an action flagrantly infringes anything humanity can agree to call by the name of goodness and justice, these historians take refuge in the concept of greatness. 'Greatness' seems to exclude all... ... quantification of right and wrong. A great man knows no wrong. There is no atrocity that could be laid at the door of a great man. 'This is great!' say the historians, and at a stroke good and bad have ceased to exist; there is only 'greatness' and 'non-greatness'. 'Great' means good; 'not great' means bad. Greatness is, by their standards, a quality enjoyed by certain exceptional creatures that go by the name of 'hero'. And Napoleon, as he wraps himself up in his warm fur-coat and scurries home, leaving behind dying men who were not only his comrades, but (by his own admission) people he brought there himself, feels 'he's a great man' and his soul is at peace.

Tumblr screencap of a post by slumbermancer, reading: basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine. if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

Supposedly universal tools are usually bad tools that we (for some value of 'we') have been induced to accept despite obvious failings. Facebook, Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome provide perfect examples.

I am nothing if not inscrutable
an abstract rendition of a 5-dimensional hypercube with the dimensions labelled: 'het - bi - gay', 'femme - futch - butch', 'bottom - switch - top', 'distinguished - functional - disaster', and finally, spreading out of shot, the three positions from the John Mulaney joke about ordering a single coffee at the McDonalds drive-through.

(grudgingly including Himuro from Science Fell In Love because yeah, ok, can't really shake that one BUT I WOULD AT LEAST DO A LIT REVIEW BEFORE STARTING TO PLAN EXPERIMENTS, COME -ON- GIRL)
Adora from She-ra and the Princesses of Power, looking slightly shocked and maybe embarrassed Lightning from the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, looking melancholy and introspective Ayame Himuro from Science Fell In Love, So I Tried To Prove It, looking embarrassed and irritated to be embarrassed Liskarm from Arknights

Going real long on this one, but hear me out
Hikigaya Hachiman from the anime 'SNAFU', wearing a school uniform with no tie and looking grumpy, though maybe not quite as grumpy as usual.

What's actually happening: fun overlap of shadows. Seen in person without whatever auto processing this phone cannot be prevented from doing, it's much harder to notice what's going on
The same patch of shadow from a different angle, revealing that it is the overlap of two shadows, of two different objects from two different light sources

Found a rendering glitch irl at my mum's house, lads
A rectangular dark patch in the middle of a space of pale carpet, as if an invisible object were casting a neat shadow on the ground.
