hey, here's a link to look up your local MP's email to let them know that 1. we want to see the environmental assessment 2. no more data centres until regulatory law catches up.

for those in BC, write to your MLA.

i don’t care if zutara was ever a possibility in the writing room or not. i don’t care if i’m making the ship up in my head. at the end of the day only one person in the gaang was willing to stand for some good first degree murder just to make katara feel a little better, and it’s not aang. the end

The world is not in your books & maps. It’s out there.

Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny

[eleemosynecdoche]

A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language. 

[modernclaire]

another hilarious example:

my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is

Winter Landscape, by Caspar David Friedrich

“Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen.”

“It was a conscious decision within the costuming, within the hairstyles, everything is that the narnian air is meant to make you age more quickly, so all of [the kids] were meant to very quickly age when they got there. And it’s all partly to do with the costumes, partly to do with how we let them wear their hair, all of those kinds of things.”

- Andrew Adamson, from the Prince Caspian DVD commentary

Hugh taking his moment to talk about the "indefensible" situation in Gaza. The impeccable timing of returning to talk about Downton as he's about to be cut off 👌

Marrying Tom off to some random only for Mary to end up divorced is such a fumble.

They were the endgame that made the most sense and that’s a hill I’m still willing to die on.

[burningsoftly]

[emilyaxford]

i love that matthew goode has been in none of the downton abbey movies to the point where mary has actually divorced him in this most recent one. i love that julian fellows was like "yeah i also think ending the show with him as the final love interest was the wrong call"

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

[glenthemes]

If the gemini.google.com/extensions page takes you to gemini.google.com/app, (“app” without the “s”) you can navigate there with the following steps:

Click the hamburger menu at the top left:

Click “Settings & help” in the left sidebar:

Click “Apps”:

Once you're there, you might need to scroll down to find the toggles.

How Mexicans feel about duendes too.

[designertrances]

True. Most Irish people, as Norwegians do with Trolls, will happily let the 'fairies' be a thing to make tours for tourists and idle threats to make children behave. Most Irish people will have a very normal and mature explanation of fairies as a common folk mythology that expresses some dimension of Irish culture but are not, obviously, to be taken literally.

And most Irish people, if you ask them to move a stone from a fairy circle will immoveably, flatly respond with 'absolutely fucking not'.

Construction projects have had to halt and be abandoned for it.

[queenklu]

Recently heard an Italian phrase which roughly translates to "It's not true, but I believe it."

[chaoskiro]

[ID: Screenshot of a tweet by @/okahomadude says, “My Norwegian grandma says ‘Everyone knows trolls aren’t real, but everyone also knows they aren’t fake’ which I think is real.” In reply, @/Bubblenoma says, “This is how Irish people feel about fairies.” End ID.]

[autistic-speedbump]

My philosophy is thus: you don't have to believe in everything, but better to not fuck with it just in case.
