Gonzo's delivery of the single greatest line in film history is made infinitely better once you realise it is an EXACT rendering of Charles Dickens' own emphasis in the original story.

Passage from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: "‘Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world."

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

my full haul from the knitting and stitching show, clearly I'm in a sock knitting mood! 🧦🧶 I got the final classification for my masters degree on the same day as the show so I treated myself as a reward 😊

4 hanks of yarn in a row in a variety of colours. the first hank is a mixture of blue and grey. the second is a mixture of blue, grey, and orange. the third hank of yarn is green, with some dark brown speckles and blue tones mixed in. the final hank is a mix of bright purples and pinks. also pictured are some cat themed stitch markers and a pair of wooden knitting needles.

So Crunchyroll has acquired the Funimation library and is shutting down the app. Digital copies you purchased on Funimation? Gone. Wasted money. People ask why I collect physical media. This is why. You can literally BUY A THING and a bunch of well-compensated assholes can be like “actually no”
