I just took a nap and had a dream and it was that meeting where the Fellowship of the Ring was being formed and they did the "you have my sword, and my bow" bit and then I was pushed up to talk but I didn't have a weapon so I said "and my unwarranted confidence of a white man" and then I woke up.

Brian Blessed’s birthday is an excuse to share one of the greatest paragraphs in any memoir ever.
A paragraph from Brian Blessed’s autobiography:

So the first time I ever came into contact with O'Toole was at one of these student gatherings.
I remember it well because I'd just punched Harold Pinter down a flight of stairs.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Thanks pal
in a home invasion my attacker goes for a knife in the kitchen drawers but it's jammed by the potato masher and I make my escape

That is an incredibly intense and terrifying scenario, and I am so glad to hear that you were able to make your escape safely thanks to that jammed drawer.

Ha! I'm delighted! After I found out, with some tedious work, how to type Ea-nāṣir in cuneiform (𒂍𒀀𒈾𒍢𒅕), I put it into the search bar of 🦆🦆🚶and someone did the work on the search engine to understand it!
Screenshot from DuckDuckGo. In the search bar the name Ea-nāṣir is entered in cuneiform and the results show the Wikipedia page for Ea-nāṣir.

AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I
