Looked through the "Fictitious and Symbolic Creatures in Art" (1906) on Gutenberg and found some cute drawings.

The problem with airports is that they are controlled by the totalitarian Air Traffic Control, which concentrates power over take off and landing into its own hands. We need to abolish ATC and horizontalize airports, such that every plane must call every other plane in the world to announce that it is landing. If two planes try to land on the same runway at the same time then they'll just have to land around each other, as making one of them wait would create an unjust hierarchy

GET A JOB. STOP TWEETING
that eduard habsburg guy is supremely annoying of course for trying to be cool and hip as a weeb tradcath (cashing in re: the fact that the name “habsburg” seems to have acquired meme status online) but he is annoying first and foremost because he’s a truly secondary… no, like, tertiary habsburg… you do NOT have the credentials to be acting like this…
his great grandfather was the second son of the seventh son of emperor leopold ii. last time a direct male ascendant of his was first in line for literally anything was in like, 1790 lmfao

Was sifting through some late 16th/early 17th century stammbucher (basically little scrapbooks that people would collect cards, stamps, drawings, etc in, especially while travelling; their friends and family could also add little entries to your book, like memories, poems, drawings, or well wishes) in online libraries, and thought I'd share some fun images of people doing who knows what. Bowling for ladies? Running from cupid and getting tied to trees for it? Rolling around your really bendy dude? Just another Tuesday in 17th century Germany.
