I’ve seen this movie so many times…but NEVER before have I noticed that THERE’S SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FIRE SWAMP!!! There on the right, just before Westley kills the ROUS! Hiding behind a tree! Buttercup is behind him and to the left in her red dress. Who is this???

IMDb informs us that this is a techie, accidentally in the shot. But I refuse to believe there's a mistake in the perfect movie! It's probably one of Count Rugen's men, training the ROUSs to attack! But too cowardly to face Westley in open battle.

shout out to this queen from thrace (modern day turkey)
a medieval drawing with two scenes from the same story: one of a woman stabbing a man with a spear and another of a group of men giving a bundle of clothes to the same woman. the image is captioned "An illumination of a scene from the Skylitzes Chronicle, depicting a Thracesian woman killing a Varangian who tried to rape her, whereupon his comrades praised her and gave her his possessions"

There was some sort of INCIDENT on the road near the library this morning, with a couple utility trucks and maintenance workers hovering around. I guess they decided that this was fine?

In honor of a great xmas movie rewatch: "And Mitch Henessey, who did NOT die!"
Samuel L Jackson as Mitch Henessy in The Long Kiss Goodnight, nattily dressed, with his feet up, wearing a headset, holding a gun, and using a computer that looks outdated even for 1996

Researchers gave homeless people $750 per month for a year, no questions asked. The recipients spent the money on food, housing, transportation, clothing, and health care. And after six months, only 12% of those who received funds were still homeless. latimes.com/california/story…
$750 a month, no questions asked, improved the lives of homeless people

I'm seeing a lot of people with Covid-like symptoms, including me!, test negative. Are there actually any studies on whether or not the free tests are less effective in detecting some variants?

No big deal, just hanging out under the house trying to figure out why the toilet is still leaking even though we fixed the clogged pipe
