asked my almost 50yo slur-using father who watched house every night during its original run if he thinks house and wilson had a thing and after a 10 second pause he shared "they didn't have a normal friendship" and didn't elaborate. so

#this is very funny but also #almost fifty year old is a very funny way of putting that #that isnt old actually lol #that's not a notable age thats just a guy

Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).

I will draw a picture of the horse we make!

For someone who didn't normally write mysteries, Sir Terry Pratchett wrote a hell of one in Feet of Clay. I read a lot of books in the mystery genre because it feels good to my brain when things all fit together and make sense at the end. So this quote has been stuck in my head forever, because this moment exists in all of the best mystery stories:

This is it, he thought. This is where we've filled ourselves up with so many questions that they're starting to overflow and become answers.

--- Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett (internal monologue of Sam Vimes)

It's such a lovely moment, this turning point, when the narrative holds its breath. Everything is about to start clicking into place.

randomly remembering the time in 2012 when everyone kept saying the world was going to end at midday that day and like, i didnt really believe it, but i didnt want to be a complete fool if i was wrong, so i excused myself from class to go sit the field and perfectly timed the beat drop to a skrillex song just in case something happened. and im just. retroactively amused by the idea of ushering in the appocalypse with skrillex. most 2012 thing you could possibly do.
