My bearded dragon is fascinated by the falling snow outside. He keeps going to the window to stare at it. He woke up from brumating to look at the snow.
He’s a desert species smh what does he want to do with snow...
artist rendition of my lizard absolutely entranced by the falling snow
So apparently, over the summer, Quibi (the shortest-lasting streaming service ever lmao) did a quarantine project called “Home Movie: The Princess Bride” where a bunch of celebrities recreated The Princess Bride in tiny chunks at home.
And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.
So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:
Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:
And it’s all just delightful.
But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.
As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

I’m watching with IMDB open so I can figure out Where I Know That Actor From (the answer is “The Office” with surprising frequency so far)
We need to elect fewer millionaires.
i guess because i watch a lot of ytps and Extremely Specific Memey Video Edits youtube recommended me a video called “lotr but every time sam takes a step towards mordor he says itll be the farthest hes ever been” which is over 9 hours long and i zoned out completely and got a full hour and 20 minutes in before coming to my senses and realizing “what the fuck why am i watching this”. i can now perfectly recall the entire clip used in the video from beginning to end whenever i close my eyes ((birds cawing) “this is it” “this is what” “if i take one more step itll be the farthest away from home ive ever been” (birds cawing) “come on sam”) and let me tell you it is EVERY time he takes a step after the first time that scene plays. whoever edited this together has powers and abilities i fear and envy and pity all at once. anyways now youtube is recommending me sam/frodo amvs
this is the video if anyone has 9 hours 18 minutes and 38 seconds to spare watching the entire fellowship of the ring but with three million percent more “sam and frodo standing in a field saying the same thing at each other”
Okay, I also watched the entire thing and this synopsis is wrong. It's not every step sam takes. Several times he takes a step and the clip doesn't play. I thought they just missed a few here and there, but then I noticed that it was only times when he takes a step backwards or in a perpendicular direction from The Shire
So not only did this insane genius track down every single footstep, they compared it to a map to make sure that particular step would ACTUALLY take him father away from home than he's ever been
well as i said i only managed an hour and 20 minutes of it so i defer to your assessment on the matter. my point stands (and is in fact strengthened) that whoever made this is some kind of hell wizard
also i need to ask after knowing you actually watched the whole thing: are you okay.
i like got this splatoon stuck on my ceiling and im not able to get it down
youre not going to believe what object dislodged itself from the ceiling and began its descent to the floor, creating a loud meaty shlap sound upon impact, waking me up in the tender hours of the night
we have built a robot to send to another planet and programmed it to send radio signal indicating its planned descent and here we are, calling it a heartbeat.
“we have just received confirmation that Perseverance is alive and well” space travel is so full of love for robots but who am i to judge i am crying too
when Opportunity “died” our last words where that we would see it again and now another robot has joined it on mars and we are lovingly calling it Percy.

What’s the most difficult thing you baked?
These bad boys right here, aka homemade gourmet Pop Tarts! I made sprinkles. Like I freaking made my own because I’m that extra. It was a 3 day process in total for only 9 Pop Tarts BUT SO WORTH IT! I got to really test my abilities with this. Working with a very delicate dough, making jam which is something I had never done before, I had to get out a ruler so my cuts were exact. It was a lot but so much freaking fun! Also they were incredibly delicious and I want to make them again but give them my own twist 💗
me: I'm literally begging you to do the one task you need to do
my brain:
IM IN TEARS I clocked in and found out our computers reset for *DRUMROLL PLS*
Y2k happened!!!! It's just twenty years late!!!!!
We can't run any reports rn 😂😂😂 amazing~
ok that's awesome
CANT stop thinking about how in 1958 tennessee williams made a comment on jfk’s fat ass and then gore vidal was like “you CANT cruise our next president” and williams replied like “don’t worry he’s way too hot to get elected” and then vidal TOLD jfk about it who was like “HOW exciting ;) ;) ;)”
just to prove i’m not exaggerating in the slightest (”the bird” is williams to be clear)
sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I’m just filled with love. ppl have the idea that edible plants are “organic” or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that’s not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. that is love. that is faith. when you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you
this is how much our ancestors loved us. this is all their struggles and all their hopes. this is how much our ancestors loved being alive

I know more about economics than AOC and my knowledge on economics is on a high school level. Its actually embarassing how little she knows about this shit. But hey, expecting a socialist to know about economics is like expecting a fish to know what a desert is.
Much of the ocean is a desert
You know what? Let’s use the allowance example again to make it even clearer.
Let’s pretend we have an allowance tax bracket with a 70% tax on money received after a certain point. To keep things simple, we’ll make the limit $90.
If a kid does chores and earns $10 in allowance, they get $10. They’re not going to be affected by the 70% tax.
If a kid does chores and earns $50, they get $50. They also aren’t in the 70% tax bracket, even though they make five times as much money as the kid making $10.
If a kid does chores and earns $100 in allowance, then they’re in the allowance tax bracket with the 70% tax.
$100 minus $90 is $10. This is the part that’s going to be taxed 70%.
70% of $10 is $7.
So the kid getting $100 in allowance will have $93 after the 70% tax takes its share.
Now, I’d never impose such a thing on actual kids. All of this is a thought exercise.
But if it were real, the kid making $10 and the kid making $50 would probably be kind of mad if the kid getting $93 was bitching about being short $7.
Also, can we talk about how taxes are used to pay for things for the benefit of society - roads, schools, libraries etc. so to further the above example, the parents aren’t just pocketing that money themselves just to be mean and selfish, they might use it to pay for a Netflix subscription that the whole family can watch.
That’s the real horseshit of “oh, they want free education and free health care!” No, asshole, I want my taxes to pay for it, and I want rich fuckers to stop evading their taxes and help us all pay for it.

I once saw an ad for some kind of religious group, saying that you should submit to their doctrine for the same reason you don’t try to defy gravity. It failed to explain what sort of cliff they expect you to fall off of. Natural law is that which can’t be broken, and anything that can be broken is more like natural suggestion.
viewing queer identities as “this is the label that makes me happy and feels most accurate now” rather than “this is who I am, was, and always will be” will definitely take the pressure off, friends. changing your mind is proof that you have one.
Friendly reminder that your understanding of yourself changes and it’s ok to change your labels to reflect that.
