So recently my cat has become infatuated with a picture of Ringo Starr I have hanging up in my room
He only ever does this with ringo, not George, the only other picture he can reach, I thought maybe he actually liked Paul or maybe it was just the frame so I conducted an experiment
I decided to try out some different pics of the Beatles together and he still seemed to prefer ringo over the other three
I then tried out individual photos to see which he preferred and he stuck by ringo every time
Finally I tested a picture of the band from a different era where they looked different, at least to a cat, and he still preferred Ringo, thus telling me that my cat has a thing for Ringo Starr
hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:
he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man
he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?
when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times
the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)
he’s still alive!
hark, a hero of our times!
Some of those white fuckers are probably US Senators now.
“Only it makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Are humans really any different than Cardassians or Romulans? If push comes to shove, if something disastrous happens to the Federation… if we are frightened enough, or desperate enough, how would we react? Would we stay true to our ideals or would we just stay here, right back where we started?”
THIS WAS 25 YEARS AGO. THIS IS WHY I LIVE STAR TREK.
this big boy looks huge because, well, he is. but he’s also extremely FLUFFY. judging by the military uniforms and the “no photography” sign, he must be in a military K9 unit. and it takes three (four?) people to groom him!!!
dogs like this are huge and fluffy because they were bred to protect livestock from predators! the hair helps to prevent bites and scratches from wolves and bears! this big boy’s parents were probably equally fluffy!
Bugs Bunny accidentally transformed the word nimrod into a synonym for idiot because nobody got a joke where he sarcastically compared Elmer Fudd to the Biblical figure Nimrod, a mighty hunter.
Etymology is ridiculous and terrifying sometimes
Bugs Bunny is more powerful than God
He also solidified the idea of rabbits loving carrots when carrots actually carry very little nutritional value for rabbits. The funniest part of that is that the original joke was a reference to a Clark Gable film where Gable munches on a carrot, it was never meant to imply that rabbits love carrots. The Clark Gable reference would’ve been obvious to audiences in the 40s but it has been pretty much lost to time.
Bugs Bunny has too much power and should be feared.
consider this- this means football players are so overpaid they make in one year what an average worker will make in their entire life, and they still arent making enough to hit this bracket
and yet opponents to this will still try and pitch that its going to hurt them by taking too much from ‘the working man’
