DR STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB (1964) dir. Stanley Kubrick — What happened is one of our base commanders...he went and did a silly thing. Well, I'll tell you what he did. He ordered his planes to attack your country.
Sorry I wasn't listening to you, I was thinking about the Duke of Wellington's personal 11-foot-tall statue of nude, totally jacked Napoleon.

i want to kiss the costume designer for this one
nothing more disappointing than a shower with low water pressure. i don't want to feel like a wet sad beast left out in the rain i want to be power washed.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, that's terrifying on a whole new level.

side eyeing everyone who has an nhl twitter/blog but isn’t hyping up the pwhl right now. like get on that immediately please
like this is so important yet yall keep hyping up the most basic hockey guys I have ever seen. please for the love of god support women’s hockey and help ensure these women can keep going.
IT’S QUEER WOMEN ON ICE!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!
recap for those who don’t know/weren’t aware WHY this league is so important and why we should support it — this is the first season of the professional women’s hockey league (pwhl) in which these female athletes (olympians, former u18, and college stars, ect) are being properly compensated for their skills — AKA making enough to not have to work two jobs while also playing hockey — it’s not millions but it’s enough — starting at 35k, average at about 55k, and each team will carry a minimum six players signed to three-year contracts paying them $80,000 annually. The highest salary is rumoured to be at 120k. The league already has a collective bargaining agreement as well that covers the next eight years. There have been successful women’s hockey leagues in the past, but none began with the kind of staying power this one has.
it has 6 teams
Toronto
Boston
Minnesota
Ottawa
Montreal
New York
The first season began on Jan. 1, 2024, with each team playing a 24-game schedule, 12 games at home and 12 away. All games are be streamed FOR FREE on the pwhl’s youtube channel. In Canada you can also catch the games on sportsnet, cbc, and tsn depending on the day. Link to the schedule.
This is so big for not only women’s hockey, but women’s sports in general. This league was crafted together as a labour of love by women’s hockey alumni like Jayna Hefford and other female athletes such as Billie Jean King. People who love the sport, and women’s sports in general and want to see it develop and succeed so little girls can have a dream and goal of playing professionally like boys do.
support this league. It’s our best shot
Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."
My personal favourite is his lengthy lecture on the subject of Supplies Being Very Important I Cannot Stress Enough The Importance Of Protecting Your Supply Lines But Also Supply Lines Are Expensive As Shit So Steal The Enemy’s Supplies At Every Opportunity.

One of the more important things to consider about any historical work is the audience it was published for. The Art Of War was aimed at fancy nobles high on philosophy with little practical military experience who were nonetheless leading armies.
Sun Tzu, after desperatly trying to explain extremely basic logic to a bunch of upper-class twits, basically sat down and wrote the most elaborate "As per my last email" ever
the art of war is tedious and irritating when you read it as like, immortal prose by the most brilliant man ever to kick ass. but it’s incredibly fucking funny when you realize that sun tzu had to write every single one of those entries because someone somewhere did not know this ahead of time and made a really, really expensive oopsie doodles.
One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.
George Lois and Carl Fischer, Cover of Esquire, November 1970
"The November 1970 issue was a Molotov cocktail. An excerpt from a book by John Sack of the story of Lieutenant William L. Calley Jr., the soldier facing trial for the My Lai massacre. Lois’ cover was a masterpiece. It made his great Sonny Liston as Santa Claus cover look like a Disney cartoon. The image showed Calley in uniform, surrounded by Vietnamese children. He was the nation’s Frankenstein monster. And in the photo, Lois had him smiling.”- Frank DiGiacomo, Vanity Fair
“This was the most controversial of them all. John Sack, he was writing a book about [William] Calley, who was instrumental in killing 500 men women and children at My Lai. Hayes told me they were doing an excerpt of the book, and I knew right away what I wanted: A picture of Calley sitting with Vietnamese kids in his lap, and I wanted him with a shit-eating grin. I knew it was going to be controversial. It was the only shoot I ever did when I really bullshitted a guy; I gave him my war stories from Korea, I said I’d gotten into a situation in Korea like the one in My Lai, I lied, and I won him over. And the kids just looked at the camera, and I said, ‘Calley, give me a big shit-eating grin!’ And he did it. It ran and, I’m telling you, people went crazy in America.”- Lois
