Blessed Carino of Balsamo 

On April 6, 1252, Carino fatally struck St Peter Martyr in the forest of Barlassina some twenty-five kilometers north of Milan. Later he was absolved by the Dominicans and received into the Order. He lived the rest of his life as a penitent lay brother until his death in 1293. On April 28, 1934, lead by Blessed Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster, Carino’s head was solemnly transferred from Forlí to Ciniseilo Balsamo, stopping en route at the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna, where Carino’s head was placed upon Domenic’s tomb and was venerated by the murderer’s new fan base. Carino was then carted off to Balsamo, where the town’s populus and religious and civil leaders received its son ‘with indescribable enthusiasm, coming with torches, candles and banners’. On November 4, 1964, the parish of Balsamo acquired the rest of Carino’s body.

how is it possible that the guy who wrote The Art Of The Deal is also the guy who gave his enemies a 6 week head start on preparing their court challenges against his fake national emergency?

i’m very confused about how Poppy worked so hard to cultivate a very compelling personal brand only to waste it on unremarkable music and then ruin it with some stupid feud with grimes

did George Orwell seriously invent a language designed to reduce free thought (newspeak) and attribute this idea to his political adversaries (communist and fascist governments) because they abbreviate the names of organisations instead of using acronyms?? as if contracting political bureau to politburo is somehow brainwashing people???

and even stupider than that, it actually resonated with anti-communist rhetoric and made soviet use of a popular and innocuous marketing technique infamous and frequently referenced.

Thinking about embracing Tumblr’s bold new policy against pretty much all images/representations of the human form and becoming a hardcore iconoclast.

Tumblr, brought to you by Byzantine emperor Leo III the Isaurian.

i’ve been watching new mandela effect youtube videos and it’s gone in a really dark direction, but also in a really desperate direction. Like now they’re very conspiratory but at the same time they’re obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel for new examples, such as:

Mike Tyson bit more of that guy’s ear off than he actually did

companies changing their logos

a third of every mandela effect video is now dedicated to slightly misremembered movie quotes, my favourite example being ”you might remember Forrest Gump saying ‘my momma always said life is like a box of chocolates’, but he actually said ‘life was like a box of chocolates’.” #PROOF
