Just remember 60 people signed on to stab Caesar and he only had 23 stab wounds, the real moral of the story is group projects have always just been like that

LAUGHING that Bruce apparently used to tell Dick about his adventures with Santa from when he was training across the world and Dick was like, "Oh, yeah, that sounds cool, B!" while thinking, "Aw, that's sweet that he's trying to make Santa sound more cool. Total bullshit, but sweet." AND THEN NOPE BRUCE'S LIFE IS SO GODDAMNED WEIRD THAT IT WAS TRUE.

I've seen a lot of places selling the yennefer scented perfume, but I will say this one is the best! It's inexpensive and excellent quality. All the other ones I tried smelt fake and chemically. And were expensive.

Apparently Phil Tippett’s response to this meme is this: “I’m sick of all this ‘Phil Tippett Dinosaur Supervisor - You Had One Job to Do’ stuff. Because it looks to me like they’re [the dinosaurs] all hitting their marks just fine. It’s called ACTING.”

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

TIL in 1915, San Diego hired a “rain maker” who used a secret mix of chemicals to “attract rain” for $10,000, payable if he filled their reservoir. It rained for most of January, destroying bridges, dams, and causing 20 deaths.
