In a museum for cartoon objects
A 19th century 30kg barbell in a museum display case. It looks like something from Looney tunes; two black balls connected by the bar.

This will never stop being relevant

According to RTÉ, there's been an effort to reduce duplicate names from the register. The turnout for GE24 was artificially low. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
Snippet from the linked RTÉ article. Text reads: "The electorate in Dublin Central has dropped by over 5,000 since the last general election, after a recent drive by An Coimisiún Toghcháin to remove duplicate names from the voting register, as well as those who have either emigrated or died.

A total of 57,932 people are registered to vote in Dublin Central, compared to 63,190 in 2024."

The famous James Connolly quote: "If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain.

England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs."

The Wager by David Grann, non-fiction about a British naval shipwreck where the crew get marooned off the coast of Chile. It reads like a novel, really compelling.

I have some of those models because they came with one of the box sets for Kill Team, deliberately painted them with bright blue coats so they looked more like WW1 French soldiers

A very friendly cat with no tail followed us to the bus stop for about 10 minutes last night
A white cat with a few black patches and no tail stands on a footpath pavement, looking perpendicular to the camera. It's not a great photo tbh but I didn't want to miss the bus and he wasn't posing

Finished Reading David Grann's The Wager last night. This passage will stick with me for a while
Cover of David Grann's book the Wager: A tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder.A page from the book, 2,000 character limit on alt text so I can't transcribe itA shorter passage from the next page: "power with the stories that they tell, but just as critical are the stories they don't - the dark silences they impose, the pages they tear out"

Watching this on the player now and I'm wondering if you've ever played the video game Pentiment? You play as an artist in a Bavarian monastery and the whole thing looks like a medieval manuscript

The start of a tumblr post with a screenshot of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost from the film "Hot Fuzz". The text reads: "I just watched Hot Fuzz again and I need to talk about it. 

The writers for Hot Fuzz have said several times that Nicolas originally had a female love interest but she took up too much time without being connected to the murder plot so they removed her completely and instead gave her core dialogue and scenes to Danny, making him the love interest.

The movie constantly makes connections between Danny and Nicolas’ ex-girlfriend. For example, she complained about Nicolas forgetting her birthday so later on Nicolas panics when nobody told him it was Danny’s birthday. She told him he has to find someone he can love more than work and by the end he chose Danny over working in London. He gifts Danny flowers and wins him a stuffed toy. They spend the night out together followed by Danny inviting Nicolas home.Another still from Hot Fuzz. Text cont'd: "They have a romantic theme that only plays during their emotional scenes. We even see the exact moment Nicolas realise he’s in love with Danny when the old lady asks if he’s buying flowers for a special someone and he says “….Yes” with a shy little smile.

The only thing missing is an actual kiss but in the Cornetto trilogy romantic relationships are rarely sealed with a kiss. In Shaun of The Dead the main romantic couple Shaun and Liz never kissed once and they had as much physical contact as Nicolas and Danny.

It’s funny to watch this movie and realise it has more queer content than some more modern movies and shows that are hailed as good queer media. 

Like, I’ve never heard anyone accuse Hot Fuzz of queerbaiting but because it treats Nicolas and Danny’s relationship the same way most movies treat straight romances in the genre (it was literally originally written as a straight romance)The end of the post body because it was cut off: "people just didn’t notice it was a queer movie or thought it was a joke on homoerotic buddy cop movies. If it came out today it would absolutely be on the queer movie list."

The last image is a tweet that reads: "I hope you do a rom-com one day with Nick and Simon as a gay couple." to which Edgar Wright responded: "Please check out 'Hot Fuzz'."

Posting nice things on here: my friend painted his D&D character while we played on discord last night.
