Prison guards: Iroh? Escape? Ha! That weak, senile old man couldn’t escape if we rolled a red carpet to the door!
Iroh alone in his cell:
I saw the video and thought “that guy looks like Jack Black”, then I scrolled down to read that. Yup, sure was Jack Black. Also yes, the above is actually true, his mother Judith Love Cohen did indeed help create the abort-guidance system that rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts.
Wait does this mean people are unfamiliar with this iconic post
I know this audience skews young, so I wanna tell y'all something. Listen.
If it hasn’t already, there’ll come a day in your late teens or early 20s when you get disillusioned and relieved of a whole bunch of childhood notions at once, when you take a good look around at the life you’re in or seem to be walking into and you ask yourself, “Is this it? Is this everything life is going to be? Am I really supposed to devote my life to making money for someone else day after day and year after year, with two days a week and one week a year left over to live, until I die? This is a helot’s stake. This is the wrong side of the line between libertas and servitas. How can this be it?”
And when that happens, I want you to remember that you’re right. It is bullshit, and it is a misery, and it doesn’t have to continue. People are gonna tell you you’re wrong, they’re gonna say shit like “That’s just how life is, kid, so grow up,” and I want you to remember that those people deserve equal measures of pity and contempt.
If this makes you angry, that’s good. It ought to.
And once you’re good and angry, you can read up on this cool thing we got called a union.
it’s so weird to me that taylor swift is like. That Big A Deal. I don’t even think her music is entirely without merit it’s just so resoundingly mid that I’m mystified by her enduring popularity
to me Taylor Swift is like the manifestation of all the most exaggerated, uncharitable takes on The Beatles. at least they experimented later in their careers y'know. at least they had Ringo
not to get overly emotional about a rat ive never met but Neil banging out the tunes day is so special. Rats only live 2-3 years, and we’re coming up on 20 since that fateful day!
How wonderful for an animal to be loved by thousands for tenfold of his lifespan! I hope Neil’s family knows how beloved their special pet is 💛
The Lemkin Institute is horrified by the dire situation transpiring in the West Bank. During what has already been a devastating six months of conflict in Gaza, the Israeli military and far-right settlers have used the cover of war to conduct continuous attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, often leading to death and forced displacement. These attacks have been underreported in the mainstream Western press, which has also failed to tie Israel Defense Force (IDF) and settler violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to the genocide being committed in Gaza. These processes are all part of an overwhelming push on the part of Israeli authorities to oust Palestinians from their remaining ancestral lands. In other words, Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians across Palestine.
