we need more dials and knobs and levers again. this world is lacking in dials and knobs and levers. it's one of our biggest issues.

Sally Jackson Mamma Mia summer she hooks up with three seemingly normal guys and gets pregnant and has a baby and then smashcut 12 years later, there’s a world-ending prophecy and all three guys show up at her doorstep arguing over what do you mean you both broke the agreement too? Are you serious?

Love the random censorship in Victorian novels. Mr. ------- came down from -----shire in the summer of 18--. Who? Where? When? Wouldn't you like to know, book boy

There was a footnote about this in the annotated Jane Austen I’ve been reading. I can’t find it again right now (will post if I manage to come across it again), but if I remember correctly, this kind of thing happened because people were so aware of who the most important landowners were in each county and where the military regiments attached to each shire were stationed when that it would break disbelief if an author said something like, “Sir So-and-so was the Earl of Shropshire,” or whatever, when the reader knew that the Earls of Shropshire were the Such-and-such family. So the dashes formed double duty of not having the fictional person contradict anything the reader might know about the real people in the real place, and avoiding making it seem like the fictional people are veiled commentaries on any real people.

Austen didn’t tend to censor where her characters were from as they weren’t high rank enough to bother with, but she censored the counties attached to her military regiments so that she could play fast and loose with the regiment’s movements and no real regiment would be slandered by having Wickham’s behavior associated with them.

why’re giraffes so violent

most big herbivores are, frankly. if you have a pretty steady supply of food and don’t have to worry about missing a hunt and starving to death, you can afford to throw your weight around more and generally be more aggressive!

that’s why the most dangerous big animals in the world are almost all herbivores.

this is also why walking right up to these things in Jurassic Park would have been a fantastically bad idea

[haltraveler]

Sauropods would be fucking TERRIFYING and it annoys the hell out of me that media constantly portrays them as passive and harmless. That Indominus from Jurassic World would have been SLAUGHTERED against an Apatosaurus, let alone a whole HERD of them

Cary was a lovely and very generous actor. A good comedian. And so funny. He had a wonderful laugh, When you looked at that face of his, it was full of a wonderful kind of laughter in the back of the eyes. Of course, he was also very serious.
