Fun fact: The basics of Nynork and Bokmål is part of the Swedish curriculum and it makes my students incomprehensively angry to learn about them every single year.
T thing/ explain to me why Norwegian has two written languages.
Oh to remember a time before the Chocolate Man arrived. When the concept of reality being replaced by delicious sweets was ridiculous and not disturbingly plausible.
Entrapta: My research has recently yielded some interesting results. I have reason to believe that Horde Prime's clones and humanoid Etherians are more similar biologically than we initially realized.
Bow: That's fascinating! What led you to such an amazing discovery?
when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet
I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.
"in the original myth medusa was actually -" "well in the homeric version, achilles wasn't -" "no but in the real myth -"
read what you have just written. in the myth. myth.
these were not real people. myths change and shape to their contemporary situations with every retelling. whoever was telling or writing the myth put in or took out something different and new every time it was told. "accurate myths" are not a thing, I'm sorry. 'accurate to homer's version'? sure, go nuts. but they were never histories, and modern adaptations are not wrong for being different.
I gotta say that the "Biden does not deserve another 4 years" really encapsulates my biggest problem with all the "prostest voters" I have seen. They all view voting as a reward or as payment for a job well done, not as a civic duty and as a process by which we influence society. It doesn't matter who "deserves" to run the country (in my opinion no person can ever "deserve" that). What matters is that there is a job that needs doing and we need to put our efforts towards the option that can do the job better. Withholding your vote doesn't actually do shit except to make the person doing feel big and important because they can pretend to be the boss withholding a paycheck.

I Could Not Stay Silent: Annelle Sheline Resigns from State Dept.
I can’t vote for Biden and Trump would absolutely be worst. Biden does not deserve another 4 years. Plus he is too old and feeble. Sit down Joe, you are done!
What a tragedy of epic proportion in Palestine and in Ukraine. Both of these insane conflicts could have and should have been avoided. US foreign policy has been a complete disaster my entire life. Kids, this is why we are less safe.
It’s easy not to pay attention in America. We need to change this in order to better hold our leaders accountable.
My favorite “humans are space orcs” idea is that trope where aliens kidnap some humans for their zoo, except it ends up like Jurassic Park. And the poor Alien Humanologists who were invited to the park are like:
“You mean you locked up a pack of curious, highly competitive persistence predators with NO enrichment in the enclosure? You FOOLS! If you had bothered to throw a basketball or half a box of Legos in there, KE-X9 would still be alive!
“Well of course they climbed the retaining wall! Did you think to study their evolutionary lineage AT ALL?”
Sokka: It's not that children make me uncomfortable, it's just that, why be a dad when you can be a fun uncle? I've never heard of anyone rebelling against their fun uncle!
