first of all, i agree with everything you said

She deferred to me, and I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision making just as a gift and let her take charge of so many things.

I’m shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you - that apparently the Playboy mansion is an environment where they don’t respect women very much.

This isn’t technically a blackout story, but here goes. Was in Jamaica in 1998 (this is important later) with a girlfriend staying at one of those “all inclusive” places-all you can eat food AND drink. Anyway, we were laying on the lounges pretty close to the water all morning and into the afternoon, drinking the rum…

I just noticed Jez is following me now. I will be phasing through all the categories as I get my drunk on tonight in celebration :)

Dex: “Doing stuff is overrated. Like Hitler. He did a lot. But don’t we all wish he woulda just stayed home and gotten stoned?”

What I love about this story is that it shows the value of maintaining, and reexamining/reevaluating archaeological collections. When people say “all you do is put the stuff in some box and store it where no one can see it”, well, this is actually what we’re hoping will happen.

I can haz bison burger?

This is my Furiosa backstory, and it’s the only one I need, timelines be damned.

I considered an amazing octopus fascinator, but the tricorne matched my dress better. Next time. 🐙

that gif isn’t an answer to people who stopped caring about the show because the writing and characters became terrible. unrelenting despair is one thing, boring and incoherent is another

As I’ve said before, this is where both the show and books have lost me. There’s no hope, which means I don’t give a single shit about any of the characters, which means I don’t care what happens and I’ll go watch/read something else.

Fuck the Dos Equis guy. This is the most interesting man in the world.

And the only horse ever to have more heart than Big Red was Ruffian.

How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?

It looks like an adorable, derpy, little dinosaur.

More importantly, why aren’t you splicing tomatoes and frogs? Tomatogs would be amazing.

I wonder that too. In their first interviews, the women said that Castro often pitted the other women against Knight. It’s unfathomable to think that you couldn’t even look to your fellow captives for comfort because your captor was manipulating them. This whole thing is just a shit sandwich with shit bread and shit…
