This minecraft short comic called “A strange Coast” made by Ian Flynn I believe, I found in a book from my library I work has to be one of the most beautiful and respectful takes on the game.
It understands minecraft so perfectly and doesn’t treat it as childishly as the other stories in it did.
69 cities in the united kingdom and forty seven thousand pubs
england is smaller than my state and has like almost as many bars as the entire US combined. like it’s just 10,000 short of catching up to the US, a country with almost 5 times its population
going to one pub every single day it would take you 130 years to go to every pub in britain
I’ve plugged our route into Google, who’s with me
Pub crawl impractical think we’re going to have to pub speedrun this one lads
giving northern ireland back would make it alot more doable
new idea for the presidential debate: every time a candidate doesn’t directly answer a yes or no question, they get a buzzer. a loud, loud buzzer until they say either yes or no
starting an evil thrift store called badwill. all money goes to evil causes like cancer research (researching how to give more people cancer), feeding the hungry (to wild dogs) and supporting veterans

its so funny to me whenever people are surprised by me even just being aware of super famous internet things as if it werent obvious im both chronically online and raised by the internet
I want to make a new Profile Picture, my current one is a drawing I never finished, it is still on the works but I can’t decide on a face to put on them so
Cutie patootie popteamepic looking baby
This one had teeth but I hated it, I like the eyes tho
A thing of nightmares
Event cuter than the first one but it will look funny on the thumbnail
Made my friend spit his drink and curse at me, maybe a winner?
Reminds me of Hamtaro, and I love the little eyelashes
Or maybe I will give them their good ol’ face, why change perfection?
my friend and i binged gravity falls over the past couple days and like its made me want to do serious art but ive gotten burnt out from art fight so all ive been doing is these stupid doodles
we recently made a discord server for people who do drama at my school and a cis guy irl has randomly decided to one-sided beef with me. so i’m having a conversation when he rolls up & randomly pings me saying he wants more pronouns than me. and i’m like Well. This isn’t hurting anyone. Maybe he’ll do some introspection
so he tells me in addition to he/him, he’d also like they/them, it/its, and the “other” role. since i don’t have they/them, he would therefore have more pronouns than me. so i congratulate him, but then i point out what that “other” means.
i have an en.pronouns linked on my discord with my neopronouns written down. i show him this. i explain what neopronouns are.
he then proceeds to copy&paste a list of 40 sets of neopronouns. just to “have more than me”. at no point did i care about this hallucinated conflict so i tell him he wins
update: he’s asking me to give him an “alpha/alphaed” pronoun set rn. i’ve told him that he needs to give me the full 5-word conjugated set before i do. this is the ultimate test for a 14 year old boy
REPOST : Roman stylus 70AD, in comon vanacular translates into “i went into the city and all i bought you was this lousy pen” , link and full translation in the comments [640 x 320]
Fucking screaming, shitty souvenirs haven’t changed a bit in almost 2000 years
The inscription has been painstakingly examined and translated by classicist and epigrapher Dr Roger Tomlin. It reads:
‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi gratum adf(e)ro acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m) rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus’
‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’ In other words: the stylus is a gift to remind the recipient of its sender; the sender acknowledges that it is a cheap gift and wishes that they could have given more. Its tongue-in-cheek sentiment is reminiscent of the kinds of novelty souvenirs we still give today. It is the Roman equivalent of ‘I went to Rome and all I got you was this pen’, providing a touching personal insight into the humour of someone who lived nearly 2000 years ago.

this specific frame of jack black from the minecraft movie trailer looks like he just realized he threw his best friend under the bus because of a cheeky political joke just so he could keep getting booked for shitty kids movies for the rest of his life
seeing people in the notes being confused over the specificity of this remark so lemme summarize real quick:
researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i’m delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it’s designed to be as annoying as possible

this one is my favourite. it’s called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn’t a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.
So the verse in question says the Levites will receive a tithe from all Israel for their service in the tabernacle. The full context of where that verse comes from revolves around how the priests are supposed to be paid for performing the dangerous task of communing with God and offering sacrifices for the whole nation. It’s essentially the same thing as firefighters getting paid by city taxes.
Fun fact: The very previous verse is “And the LORD said to Aaron, "You priests will receive no allotment of land or share of property among the people of Israel. I am your share and your allotment.”“
So if this Landlord is trying to compare themselves to a Levite, then they cannot own property in the first place

I come bringing news from Twitter for those of you wise enough to no longer be there.
In case you didn’t hear, Elon has made it so that your likes are no longer public. Now there are a few theories as to why he did that. Some people think it’s because it makes it easier to fake interactions with bots. Others think it’s because people found him liking embarrassing tweets and making fun of him. Others think it’s so that bigots can get away with liking terrible posts without being called out for it.
Regardless, this has led to a new trend where in order to show that people like something publicly, they do this:
I’m expecting this image to go places, honestly. It’s a perfect encapsulation of so much, all in one compact image. Perhaps the pink sheep screams because he knows what sterilized hell he is condemned to live within

i don’t usually make posts like this, but this is a truly upsetting topic to me as a lifelong cat owner, so i feel i have a duty to share my knowledge with others.
there is a type of automatic litterbox for cats being sold that is EXTREMELY dangerous and has killed numerous cats through blunt force trauma, suffocation, etc. this litterbox is being sold under different brand names and logos, so i will include the picture of the model and two links to informational videos with more evidence and eloquence than i am able to provide.
please consider not having this type of litterbox in your home for your furry friends. me and my 16 year old tortie, puddy, want the best for all your kitty friends
image of litterbox below:
here are my two video links that provide proof and testimonials of this harmful product:
