I love how there's a perfect correlation between this perspective and the argument that medieval serfs had it good because of all the religious holidays. "Oh, they only spent a third of the year working on their Lord's fields" okay, what did they do about their own fields?

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

What I love about the people answering “negative” is they are basically saying “the last thousand years? I don’t care for them”.

Papa, did you have short form video as a child? Yes, son, we did. Harry Hill would come on TV and show you the short form video. People would send it in to him and he would compile the funniest possible content

A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.

Wilbur, a stoned pig lying in the dirt and unable to stand at Pigs in the Wood sanctuary, Huddersfield. I later adopted him.

“Scrooge was confronted with his deceased business partner, sentenced to wander the afterlife in heavy chains for all eternity because he sort of had a point” is a hell of a take.

Awestruck by the marketing genius who thinks “watch 43 hours of this stuff before you go to the multiplex” is a good marketing strategy for either their new movie or any of these things.

It will never stop being funny to me that Ted Lasso had an incredibly definitive ending, that was so crap that 2 years later they just decided it wasn’t. It’s like if in 2022 HBO announced “Game of Thrones Season 9: The White Walkers are Back, Actually”

I don't have, like, a ranked list of contributing factors to the decline of men's interest in literary fiction, but I'm pretty sure none of the top ones are addressed with a "fellas, try the romantasy" admonishment.

Some more Garfield Goodreads reviews

*****
September 26, 2007
Jim Davis is a fucking crazy genius. He draws Garfield with bold strokes and a bolder heart.
Garfield can be a dick to Odie and Nermal, but can you blame him? Jon's kind of a puss.

It truly is neat that the climax of the Odyssey, arguably the greatest western epic, is “Odysseus gets home and goes Kingsman mode on 50 guys who’ve been trying to bang his wife”
