bike route road rage @regina-bithyniae - Tumblr Blog

I just assume that frankie has gotten his ass kicked at least once because Anya snitched on him fantasizing about Yor.

My personal headcanon is that whenever Anya reads someone's mind while they're having Sex Thoughts, all she sees is television static. Many years later, when she figures it out, she will tease Yor and Loid for having TV Static thought about each other within minutes of meeting one another.

I like how Tony Soprano has a bunch of henchmen all specialized in different types of crime, like wizards each with their own element of magic. The car crimes guy. The arson guy. The obviously stupid crimes guy.

What Europe Would Look Like If Sea Levels Decreased By 1000 Meters

something tells me Russia would not agree to this division of the artctic

Worldbuilding question: What kind of a situation would it require for Norway to be able to first claim and then keep the entirety of this new landmass?

Presumably Russia loses its war against Ukraine (this map shows Ukraine's internationally recognized land border after, all), but that would probably not be sufficient...

The closure of the Black Sea export route would make Crimea substantially less valuable to Russia. They're a pretty big loser here, losing both that route and having the North Sea route also essentially closed off. Countries that suddenly became landlocked would hardly be pleased about it, but at least e.g. Belgium is landlocked by friendly neighbors.

Cavalcade of Türkiye flagged cars driving past my apartment honking their horns. Amazing, they're like this everywhere.

Uncle died early this morning. Mom phoned me at 7 AM and I knew instantly what was up. Sister and I spent time with her, she's OK. Did a lot of grieving in advance.

We knew they switched him to palliative care, but I was expecting it to be a few weeks, not days, so it was still a bit of a shock. He slipped away peacefully, not in pain, in a private room with his wife present, which was the best case scenario at this point.

We would mostly meet up every 2-3 years or so when we coincidentally were in the same city, and he always loved spending time with my sister and I. Always assumed that would be the pattern for a lot longer. Even when he told us he had cancer in October he insisted it wasn't a severe case, and after the surgery to remove it the doctors didn't even put him on chemotherapy because the scans looked like they got it all. Eyebrow raising at the time, and now it seems just absurd.

He was a good man. Did a lot of good work, which he took very seriously. He deserved better.

LOL, and upon further reflection... LMAO.

You get that by actually *saying* this, you're undercutting your point basically completely, though... right?

There were some topics that needed to be covered after the 2024 election, and a few Tumblr users provided some short, specific criticisms that I was able to quote instead having to present those criticisms as hypotheticals, Ghost being one of them.

Mr. GhostPalmTechnique’s party has lost the election. He has decided to lose weight about it. Good.

I also found his decision to lose weight and pump iron after the 2024 election to be striking, so it was a good illustrative example to start with.

The essay overall is about the refusal of Democrats to change and the necessity of becoming strong to make peace. Losing the 2024 election and deciding to lift weights about it is a really good blunt metaphor, because it captures both the conditions and the suitable response in a short, relatively literal, blunt way.

I'm not sure if the criticism Ghost is referring to, here, is the one addressed in the essay, or not. Anyhow, none of the people quoted are expected to actually read or respond to the essay.

In retrospect, if I were writing the essay again, it might be more appropriate to anonymize all three Tumblr users quoted in the essay, as the long form isn't a good fit for interpersonal Tumblr discourse culture, and could result in unwanted, excess attention.

My sister has some sort of inscrutable grievance against my father that I cannot understand, and even managed to forget to wish him a happy birthday until I reminded her

What the fuck girl

She forgot his birthday, and then I planned us a belated birthday party for him this Sunday, and now she forgot that and is going camping instead

In 1907 became the fastest man on earth riding his V-8 motorcycle to a land speed record of 136 miles per hour. Faster than any automobile. Faster than any aircraft. On a motorcycle who was barely more than a bicycle with a big V-8 stuck in the middle. Fearless doesn’t start to describe the ride he made into the record books.
