I can’t quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre
They aren’t a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man’s speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.
Most non-Minnesotans have no idea what this means, but to put it plainly: we’re raised with not just the expectation but essentially -programming- to assist others who get stuck during the winter. We’ll help people we’d otherwise punch on sight if they’re stuck in the snow and ice, for zero reward.
This is the level of rage we’re at with ICE. I’m not joking to say it’s almost physically painful to not help someone stuck like that, and it’s worth it because the people stuck are ICE.
The only way we have to express how mad we are above this is channeling the First Minnesota all over again.
The Scandinavians who settled in Minnesota brought with them their Norse understanding of the laws of hospitality: you do not fuck around with winter, that if someone needs help in the winter, you help them as long as they don’t actively try to hurt you or your neighbors. Food, shelter, labour, whatever, if you can help in winter, you do.
ICE has violated the “actively try to hurt you or your neighbors” bit of the laws of hospitality, and thus the hospitality has been revoked. They are free to feel winter’s wrath against those who would bring harm to the community.
I like to think that Lady Skaði would be proud of her distant children.
this reminds me of the mud wizard who walked through everything without any problems while the police officers kept sliding and falling and getting stuck, you can watch it right here.
for context, this was during anti-coal protests in lützerath which went on for days and included people being forcibly removed, injured, or otherwise violated by the police. they showed up in riot gear against people simply sitting and camping and wanting to protect their forests. it was a really big deal here.
Ok so it’s clear to me that some of y'all are having issues with this video. As someone who understands breed specific behaviors and dog body language this shit is objectively hilarious to me. Lemme explain why:
Beagles are a very vocal breed. They are hound dogs, specifically hunters, so their job is to communicate and be extra loud when excited or a “treat” is found.
Due to their nature as hounds, and in part genetically predisposed health issues, they get fat often. They’re prone to eat too much and need exercise. Old beagles tend to get over weight.
This dog is not biting, frustrated, or aggressive. He’s wagging his tail, licking his owner, and engaging in hunting behaviors (barking, sniffing, pointing, and nipping.) This dog is trying to catch his treat. He’s working for his reward.
TLDR: The dog is having fun. Don’t take it seriously. Using a crunchy mic with a beagle makes his barking sound so funny. Enjoy the humor.
picture me in college. i complain to friends that alcohol doesn’t seem to do anything to me. we are all scientists so this eventually dissolves into making a Scientific Method.
i did a shot of tequila and then did the sobriety test afterwards, to see if it really effected me and i didn’t notice or if i had a monster liver. with normal amt of food and water between each shot in 15 min intervals. Along with miscellaneous Shenanigans. (This was a college party, after all)
it takes me seven shots to finally misremember the alphabet backwards and another two to no longer walk properly. We cut the test short in case i got alcohol poisoning and didn’t notice.
in conclusion: i am the fanfic character that drinks 9 shots and then goes home and drinks some more beer and doesn’t die of alcohol poisoning.
it absolutely is very close to alcohol poisoning for my height and weight, yes. i fell asleep eating fried catfish and woke up the next day perfectly fine, not even hungover.
i don’t know what’s wrong with me, but i have no intentions of repeating this experiment.
When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.
In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.
I dislike this.
Pillars and floats like that are pretty stable, compared to regular boats, so there’s even a research vessel, called FLIP, that purposefully capsizes itself to be more steady when conducting research.
Today round ass puppy revealed to me, exhausted, at the end of my rope, that her training wasn’t working not because she didn’t understand, she did, she did, but instead because treats, chicken, turkey and pork apparently weren’t enough motivation. She began obeying every word with startling accuracy as soon as she was offered something else. Doing backflips and stunts with pyrotechnics as prompted for the promise of a pea. A pea. She’s a dog. A pea. A pea. A pea. I have to carry peas around now. On my person. Personal peas. 🫛 peas

sorry for being annoying [remembers that practicing gratitude instead of shame is better for my mental health and my relationships] thank you for letting me be annoying with you
