Been working copy editing a translation here when suddenly I find myself laughing until I'm gasping for air
Screenshot of a highlighted sentence on a paragraph that reads "His parents both emigrated to Sweden from Goa, and he likes to cite that as the basis for his complete lack of prejudice towards anyone but the Portuguese"

The Fall is coming to Mubi and it is finally time to rewatch this beaut after over 15 years

My body is ready
The Fall's movie poster. In the background, a desert landscape with an automobile in flames. In the foreground, a square red mask with blue eyes, a tiny blue butterfly for a nose and a flower for a mouth. To the left, cut right in the middle, Lee Pace stands holding an antique gun.

Day 2
Cover of "Equal Rites" by Terry Pratchett, illustrated by Josh Kirby. A tall wizard in a "spell-casting" pose stands menacingly to the right. Looking at him, back turned to us, is a small girl wearing a pink skirt and holding a broom-staff. Next to her, with a hand on her shoulder, urging her forward to face the wizard, is a witch with a black robe and black pointy hat.

I just picked up a copy of 'Lonely Castle in the Mirror' by Mizuki Tsujimura and this was one of praises for the book, on the very first page:
"please don't be put off by the fact it's a translation".>>>
