return to oz is creepy as fuck! and so is the original lol
Awesome! I’ve seen another guy on youtube make most of his art from trash or cheap dollarstore finds named Studson Studios. If you like nerdy stuff I recommend it, he’s made models from video games, books and anime--particularly Ghibli movies! His longest and best one is making a scale model of Howl’s Moving Castle.

been stuck with a terrible feeling that one of the episodes in the new black mirror season is gonna end with a title card like "the program you just watched was written by artificial intelligence" and they're going to be so smug about it and we'll all have to talk about it for weeks
oh hey apollo

- They didn't want to sit through demeaning and bigoted religious services just for a place to sleep. (Church run food banks do this a lot too btw).
- They were late and the shelter wouldn't let them in and voided the rest of their allowed stay bc they didn't call and tell the shelter they couldn't make it in before closing.
- One of the other people at the shelter got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- One of the SHELTER EMPLOYEES/VOLUNTEERS got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- The shelter refuses to disclose if allergens are in the food they're providing saying, "This is all you're getting, be glad for this much and thank god!"
- Shelter refused to believe person is homeless saying, "You are FAR too clean and nicely dressed!"

everyone on tatooine:
Imagine being the local jock from Toshe Station and turning on the news to learn that the guy you called “Wormie” in desert high school just killed the two most powerful people in the galaxy.

oh also turns out he came back to town and killed the mob boss who controlled everything and then left again without buzzing any of his former acquaintance so probably you’re Beneath his Notice; mixed feelings about that
King’s Field Pendant
This magnificent pendant is the ultimate proof that the “Dark Ages” is an academic concept. Rather than Europe plummeting into darkness because of the “fall” of the Western Roman Empire, it’s more the lack of academic interest in the Early Middle Ages.
This Anglo-Saxon pendant was found on King’s Field (Kent) and is made of gold and garnet, but decorated extremely intricately with gabuchon, filigree and granulation. The garnet was used to form a triskele with round centre and ending in bird heads. At just 3,5 cm across, this was made by a master craftsman with materials from all over the known world.
The pendant might have been worn on a bit of string or rope, or it may have been worn as part of a glass beaded necklace. The pendant likely belonged to a woman.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME
ITS ABOUT TIME YOU ALL FOUND OUT — 50s snoopy is SO cute. He was originally a pantomime character, which are pretty hard to write for since they can only communicate through face an motion. LOOK AT HIM
Schulz had a beloved beagle named Spike (you may recognize the name as snoopy’s brother who showed up in the strip later). (Also the real dog Spike would eat tacks and nails for fun. Little sparky Schulz drew him and it was put into Ripley’s believe it or not, his first published drawing). So naturally snoopy was a beagle. He was almost named Sniffy I think.
Finally Schulz caved and started giving snoopy thought bubbles after a couple years, though they changed shape a bit…
He’s so cute I can’t stand it. If you want to see cute snoopy, just read this book:
Also, in these early comics, you CAN see the front of the doghouse and yes, the roof is a triangle. (This comic here might be the first time he lies on top?)
By 1960 he was already gettin sillywith his famous vulture act (as well as many other animals!), standing on his hind legs, and, um, being a helicopter. You’ll notice he’s a lot lankier during this period. Grown out of the sweet young design but not yet at merchandisable snoopyness.
By 1965 or so, a lot of the iconic snoopy behaviors like the flying ace and the typewriter have shown up, and his nose gets shorter and wider. In fact, the whole gang at this point is starting to look like “Peanuts” as we know it now (minus the wavy line from Schulz’s hand tremor in later years). A lot of reruns you see in the papers now are from this era.
Anyway, the rest is history. Early 50s snoopy is the cutest thing ever but please go enjoy snoopy’s wacky exploratory period. And it wasn’t just snoopy. This was also around the time Linus started patting birds on the head and his blanket was sentient and out to get Lucy. This was waaay before Schulz’s birds looked anything like our favorite little yellow guy with the big head. Go treat yourself and read old Peanuts— you’re in for a real treat
Sorry about the low image quality I didn’t want to put in more effort
An edit after looking at the notes: if you’re being picky, his in-world birthday is sometime in august— Schulz mentioned it on two different days over the years. I’d check the Schulz museum, I know they picked a specific day to celebrate
J.K. Simmons playing J. Jonah Jameson in every timeline has to be one of the funniest running gags ive seen in a movie. anyone can be Spiderman but there can only be one J. Jonah Jameson
btw i think its so cool when my life is worse due to worker strikes because when my life is worse constantly the rest of the time its due to the corporate greed of one million random faceless corporations who are grinding up the entire planet in a meat grinder so little numbers on a screen go up and stay green or whatever the shit
absolutely losing my goddamn mind at this ancient roman octopus mosaic from spain that looks like it would make a comical squeaky toy sound and shoot its tentacles out if you squeezed it

u know what i think would be funny. if one of the Shazamily was allergic to peanuts. cause presumably when they're invincible they also don't have to worry about allergies right.
for most comedy i vote Freddy
Freddy: holy shit i just realised. I'm invincible
Billy: you just realised you're invincible?
Freddy: no you don't - nvm i have to go do something
*shortly*
Freddy, in his Shazam form, dumping an entire armful of Reeses products on the convenience store counter: ring me up.
Freddy, handing Billy his EpiPen: I'm only like 99% sure this will work
Freddy, handing Billy his phone with 911 already keyed in: wish me godspeed see you on the other side
Billy: Freddy no
Freddy, shoving a peanut butter cup into his mouth: Freddy yes
Freddy, shoving a

his mouth: Freddy yes
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
