Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster.
Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.
I said many ignorant people nowadays thought ‘Frankenstein’ was the name of the monster, and not of the scientist who created him. Mary Shelley said, ‘That’s not so ignorant after all. There are two monsters in my story, not one. And one of them, the scientist, is indeed named Frankenstein.’
(Kurt Vonnegut)
It makes you want to give Mary Shelley a high five. I’m glad she knew how brilliant she was all along.
Proof once again that women know where shit is at. People argue nature versus nurture and she was already saying it doesn’t mean shit in 1818. You are your choices; ‘cool motive still murder’ at it’s finest.
Hey, remember that one time on Phineas and Ferb when Doofenshmirtz’s daughter and her friends (who were all allergic to bee stings) were almost attacked by bees?
But then Doof jumped in the way screaming “YOU LEAVE MY BABY GIRL ALONE!!”
And then proceeded to
pour honey all over himself
to lead the bees away
and jumped into a river? All to protect his daughter?
A+ dad right there.
say what you will about his being a villain but he’s probably the best-written villain out there.
Everyone’s screaming, “But where is White Diamond!??!?” and I just have this mental image of her in some tropical planet, chilling with her Pearl holding a piña colada for her and with her ship’s communication systems muted and all the screens reading “28377 missed calls from Yellow and 8292994728 missed calls from Blue.”
She so doesn’t have time for this shit.
Blue: Yellow and I are hosting a trial to punish Rose Quartz for shattering our beloved Pink. Could you please show up for once??
I mean. Well. I don’t know how to say this diplomatically, but… that’s… wrong. That’s not true. I might not know a whole lot about space but I am pretty sure that it’s sorta the biggest thing there is.
some kind of weird inverted universe thing where space is finite and a few miles deep at most and the ocean goes on forever and the seafloor is actually the event horizon at the edge of our lightcone
Mainstream news acting all shocked by this guy when the rest of us here on the internet have heard right-wing fanatics spout shit like this for years and years under the laughably fake bullshit excuse of “trolling.”
Everyone who treats 4chan and its spawn with kid gloves can kiss my fat ass. This is what we get when we act like bigotry on the internet occurs in a vacuum. Bogleech is right, and I’ve been saying this for years.
why is everybody roasting so hard on pachycephalosaurus
I have no idea what this is, but I’m laughing
it’s a character whose name is padparadscha but that’s fucking hard to pronounce and spell so everyone says stuff that vaguely sounds like it. It’s like the blenderhop cucumberpatch but with a less obnoxious character
Seriously. Is this fucking Warhammer 40k? Can she not leave the Golden Throne? What could possibly be keeping her away from the trial of Pink Diamond’s murderer?
Her Pearl ran off to join some rebellion 6,000 years ago and now she doesn’t have anyone to open the door for her so she’s just stuck in her room.
whenever people talk about primal urges half the time they’re talking about something sexual, but it’s like, sometimes you just gotta climb a flight of stairs like that, you know? it’s like my body is telling me, “buddy, five thousand years ago everyone would have bolted up stairs on all fours. it’s okay, it’s natural.”
Primal is sneaking out to your kitchen in the dead if night as your head swivels around checking for danger while stuff snack into your arms and standing stone still in the shadows whenever you hear something
