OHMYGOD IT’S ATTACKING THE STATUE OF LIBERTY SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING

[loremerchant]

I know just the man for the job.

[whomthegodswoulddestroy]

This is a good joke. This is such a solid, quality joke.

[prehistoricsilverfish]

@explainingthejoke ?

[explainingthejoke]

The initial image is a size comparison between the statue of liberty and a wind turbine. The wind turbine is over ninety feet (about 28 meters) taller.

A commenter pretended to misinterpret the image as one of a wind turbine attacking the statue of liberty. The next commenter answered with an image of Don Quixote, a literary character who once thought a windmill was a monster and announced his plans to fight it. They are joking that if a wind turbine attacked the statue of liberty, Don Quixote would be willing to fight the wind turbine.

Incidentally, that scene led to the English idiom “tilting at windmills,” meaning a person who has not only disproportionate reactions of anger, but disproportionate reactions of anger to nonexistent challenges.

[jenroses]

So all those people who are fighting to preserve coal jobs and the fossil fuel economy are….

actually…

tilting at windmills.

[kingatticus]

I feel like this is one of the very few times where explaining the joke leads to another one that everyone can now understand and laugh at

[kikakat17]

This an amazing post

[norcross]

real quality, start to finish.

[livelyspaghetti-blog]

Well this is an interesting problem.

Turned on the lights because Toffee was being ridiculously noisy, only to see:

The lid is on and 100% locked via the handles.

How have you done this thing you did, boy.

[livelyspaghetti-blog]

THE SAGA CONTINUES

I wadded up a bunch of tissue to shove into the gap, until I could get something done about it. This didn’t stop Toffee from trying to escape.

Gorgeous. I stayed up, partly out of paranoia, and he decided to keep trying to noodle his way out until gone 2am. Fun fact: I get up for work at 5am.

But he went back into his cave eventually, and was still there when I woke up. I was fairly certain that he’d manage to get out while I was at work, though, and decided whatever–I can close the door, it’s a tiny room, and there’s no way for him to get under the floorboards or into the walls.

Popped into B&Q on my way back from work to get some wood to plug the gaps with, came home, and yep…

He made short work of that.

I start looking in the obvious places, not super panicked. If you’ve followed me for a while, you may remember the saga of the last time I lost him: he was out, sitting on my lap, and then he wasn’t. Five hours later, after tearing apart the house, I found him inside my bed frame. Anyway: behind and around the rack, behind the 15kg bag of substrate I have that takes up 90% of my floor, under the bed–nothing.

Put my bag down on the bed, glance at the pillow and wait a minute.

Jackpot.

Don’t give me that face. 

The moral of the story: check your rubs regularly! When I first got this one and safety-proofed it, there was no way Toffee even could’ve thought about fitting between the lid and the tub, but through use it’s warped enough to provide a quick exit route.

[downwithdignity]

Oh my god Toffee’s head squished into the tissue, oh god this is the best snake picture ever.

[ayellowbirds]

That is one determined noodle.

some of you never had an intense homoerotic years-long friendship in your early to mid teens that culminated in a dramatic friend breakup and it shows.

Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

[phinarei]

I am 33 years old and have NEVER seen a single Terminator movie. That is gonna fucking change.

I have never seen a woman at this age with this kind of vital power without heavy adherence to femininity. Helen Mirren in RED is amazing, but she played a beautiful woman who used traditional beauty standards. This? Is a woman who is sexy because she gives no fucks about her appearance and SHE’S ALLOWED TO BE OLDER, MASCULINE, AND FIERCE. She isn’t a heroine, she’s a HER who happens to be a woman.

I never understood women who were into older men, but I kinda get it now. I am in love.

[emi--rose]

oh shit this is fucking hot as hell

[mmlord]

@alicesaurus

[da-boy-o-kultur]

You know what we need? A movie where Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver form a Grandma team up to kick the ass of some alien threat.

[mayflyinspace]

Grandma Action movies, and at the end of it all an all women expendables movie

[deanplease]

Here’s the best thing: THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY HER INTENTION.

Hamilton trained in the desert with Green Berets, while doctors put her on a regimen of supplements and bioidentical hormones to build muscle. “I had a true village of experts trying to get the most out of this body,” she said, though vanity wasn’t the mission. “I don’t think there’s going to be one person who comes up to me who says, ‘You look so great for your age.’ I threw that into the Mississippi River, because that’s not what this is about. I want people to see me and go, ‘Oh my God, she got so old!’”

[harriet-spy]

sorry, but we stan a LEGEND

(even us het ladies)

[sleepynegress]

@phinarei please remedy that immediately and see the Terminator and T2. The others you can ignore.

[ithinkthereforeiamaswell]

Yes! She looks her Age but is still kicking ass and taking names.

[northstarfan]

I still think of Linda Hamilton as Catherine To Ron Perlman’s Vincent, but goddamn, this looks good.

[elidyce]

T1: Sara Connor is the unsuspecting victim of time-travelling assassin robot, and must be protected.

T2: Sara Connor has spent 15 years preparing herself and her son for the next time-travelling assassin robot and is Tough As Hell. 

T:DF, (apparently): Sara Connor has been training and fighting since her twenties and she is So Completely Done Fucking Around You Have No Idea. 

I love this progression so much.

instagram be like: get a nose job, hoe out, do some squats, lose weight, buy skinny tea, buy fenty beauty, buy a kylie lip kit, get your summer body, get engaged, get pregnant, lose the baby weight, dedicate yourself to sex and beauty and men and makeup and your man, shave your eyebrows off then draw them back on-

[serotoninsuggestion]

right pals i cannot stress this enough: unfollow celebs. unfollow influencers. follow artists. follow painters. follow people who plant flowers in pavement cracks. follow bopo activists with similar body types to yours. follow your favourite restaurants and cafes to check out what they've added to their menus. follow comedians. follow accounts that post positive memes. follow cute dogs and cats and hedgehogs. follow tattoo artists. follow shops that make ethical clothes. follow people who paint murals on the walls of buildings. follow environmental and lgbt+ and blm charities. follow authors. follow poets. follow second hand book shops. follow bakers. follow film reviewers. follow tags for countries and cities you'd like to travel to and your favourite books. then like the hell out of all those posts so that's what your explore feed starts showing you. instagram can be so much more than we've let it become. it's a platform for photos and there are far more things out there to see than "perfect" (photoshopped) bodies

Crowley is presenting as female (or at least, not male) at the Crucifixion scene.  Everyone who noticed he was wearing feminine clothes there–it was intentional! (x)

[moki-dokie]

FINALLY A CONFIRMATION OF MY SUSPICIONS!! this is awesome! :D i really really liked how casually it was done.and now i can use the correct pronouns when talking about her in that scene

[gingerhaole]

Oh, I love this! Good grief, I LOVE this.

[tartan-thermos]

…Golgotha is also the first time that Crowley asks Aziraphale to use a new name.

[gingerhaole]

That’s right!
