Oh, yeah? Well, what if I disguised myself as a wretched old beggar-woman and came to beg for food at your royal feast and then invoked the laws of hospitality to beg a small favor from the king and when you said "If it is in my power to grant your request, it shall be granted" I unmasked myself and said "Ah-ha! I ask for your throne and your daughter's hand in marriage!"? What would you do then? You wouldn't do shit. You're devastated right now.
You wish you could execute me so bad but your whole court just watched you get played for a sucker and not even a king can violate the laws of hospitality. You're shaking and crying rn.
I'd give you my chair, then apologize that my daughter's hand is hers, not mine, and therefore not within my power to give.
Crown's still mine.

These two do this every year
my favorite sex position is the global 69 where one person lies face own naked at th north pole and the other one lies in the same spot but rotated and at the south pole and they both lie there and freeze to death
Oh holy shit they found Silphium alive and growing in the wild.
Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
for the entire time Baldur's Gate 3 has been out, not to mention early access, I have not seen a single correctly colored tiefling, so I suppose I have to do everything by myself around here.
dude it's actually insane how elon musk bought one of the most recognizable social media brands and just completely stripped it of everything that makes it recognizable as a brand. twitter isn't twitter, tweets aren't tweets. you just "repost" posts now. on X. complete corpo-semiotic ego death.
why are posts limited to 140 280 characters? how does this tie in to the site's history and brand identity? don't know ay, just is I guess.
It was really SMS that inspired the further direction -- the particular constraint of 140 characters was kind of borrowed. You have a natural constraint with the couriers when you update your location or with IM when you update your status. But SMS allowed this other constraint, where most basic phones are limited to 160 characters before they split the messages. So in order to minimize the hassle and thinking around receiving a message, we wanted to make sure that we were not splitting any messages. So we took 20 characters for the user name, and left 140 for the content. That’s where it all came from. [...] We liked the SMS aspect, and how you could update from anywhere and receive from anywhere. We wanted to capture that in the name -- we wanted to capture that feeling: the physical sensation that you’re buzzing your friend’s pocket. It’s like buzzing all over the world. So we did a bunch of name-storming, and we came up with the word ‘twitch,’ because the phone kind of vibrates when it moves. But ‘twitch’ is not a good product name because it doesn’t bring up the right imagery. So we looked in the dictionary for words around it, and we came across the word ‘twitter,’ and it was just perfect. The definition was ‘a short burst of inconsequential information,’ and ‘chirps from birds.’ And that’s exactly what the product was. The whole bird thing: bird chirps sound meaningless to us, but meaning is applied by other birds. The same is true of Twitter: a lot of messages can be seen as completely useless and meaningless, but it’s entirely dependent on the recipient. So we just fell in love with the word. It was like, ‘Oh, this is it.’ We can use it as a verb, as a noun, it fits with so many other words. If you get too many messages you’re ‘twitterpated’ -- the name was just perfect. [...] So Twitter was it, and it’s been a big part of our success. Naming something and getting the branding right is really important.

at my job we have to go through a training program that teaches us the library of congress classification system, and when i was first being trained my boss started to boot it up and she gave me a really anxious and guilty look and said “listen, i’m really sorry in advance, there’s nothing i can do about this, just…. just try to get through it” and i was like lol what’s she talking about and then the program loaded and i was greeted with a deliriously funny-looking photoshopped wizard with glowing eyes pointing at some intro message like “AH YES, JUST AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD… APPRENTICE, YOU COME AT A TIME OF MOST DIRE NEED… YOU MUST LEARN OUR WAYS” and my boss just looked at me helplessly and was like “i’m so sorry. it’s like two hours long.”
thankfully it wasn’t an elaborate fever dream and i have found screenshots

[ID: Text on first image: “Greetings! I am a Knowledge Keeper. Some call me a Librarian. Your presence here was foretold to me and you have arrived just in time. Though I have trained many before you, I am always happy to have a new apprentice.” (Continue button)
Text on second image: “As you see, our need is great. All must be put in order and maintained. It is time to begin your lessons—listen closely. Please click Continue.”
(Note that the wizard in question is just about the most stereotypical bearded, robed, pointy-hatted old man wizard you can imagine, carrying a wooden staff). END ID]

headcanon: since meeting ant man, no one dares to fuck with spider man cause they think he can control spiders and fuck that tbh. he defeats villains by threatening to order spiders to infest their house,, his success rate is 100%, new york is crime-free in less than a month,

Shoutout to whoever picked a golf to use for this infograph, because it’s probably an intentional reference to the “Harlequin” golf, which as you can see by comparing the modle to the infograph, is unfortunately a relic of the time when colors were winning.
