the saddest thing about the eu going away will be the end of drawings of europe that exclude norway and draw attention to the fact that sweden and finland look like a flaccid cock and balls
I want a high fantasy movie where everyone talks with Southern US accents instead of British ones.
The Dwarves though, they can get Minnesotan accents.
ok but picture this: elves with brooklyn accents
“Hey HEY I’m castin’ here, what’d’you – listen, my pop and I serve the Great Tree goin’ back six hundred fuckin’ years so if you got a problem with our fuckin’ magic you don’t fuckin’ come down here into our fuckin’ grove to gimme shit about it.
“Right? You don’t see me fuckin’ goin’ into your shitty man-stables and tellin’ you how to milk horses, do ya? So instead you come down here, disrespect me, disrespect my pa, and how ‘bout you stop fuckin’ disrespectin’ the Great Fuckin’ Tree that grew whens’t the world was young and carries all our fates ‘n its boughs, okay?
I’ve been tracking the “nationalism” tag for years now, and it’s this

Okay real talk: I can’t be the only one who finds it incredibly creepy when furries interact with children, right? Like, going to parks in their fursuits and shit just to talk to kids, that’s super creepy, right???
Feb. 17, 1938: Tear gas drifts from a home in the 1700 block of East 22nd Street as Los Angeles police trade gunfire with barricaded suspect George Farley. The bodies of a deputy city marshal and his helper — shot and killed by Farley as they tried to serve an eviction notice on him — lie in front of the barricaded home. Killed were Deputy Marshal T. Dwight Crittenden and Leon W. Romer, both 60.
Farley, 55, was wounded five times and captured after police stormed the house. He was later convicted of two counts of manslaughter and ordered to serve 10 to 20 years in San Quentin State Prison.
Oh man this Corbyn shit is great, it’s like Bernie/Hillary run in reverse
The party elites are all going crazy like “okay you had your fun, now that we’re facing nationalist overreach it’s time to square up and sink neoliberalism in the corner pocket”
And he’s like “No, I insist, social democracy. And you don’t have the votes to beat me in our system’s wonky leadership elections.”
Oh man, the look on those comfortably credentialed cosmopolitans’ faces when they realize they HAVE moral claim on a party and it’s the fucking Lib Dems
The most legit [the Mkhedrioni] ever got was opening businesses which claimed to be ‘Economic Firm’, ‘Many Branched Bank’, or ‘Joint Stock Company’. Anyone who invested in The Golden Cup Trade Industrial Company, heavily advertised on television, saw shares double within two weeks. When they went to the company’s offices to sell their shares they found a note pinned to the door: “Goodbye”.
Amidst the fall of an empire, a roguish playwright exploits a clash of backwater nationalisms to become the dominant strongman of an eastern european outlaw frontier.
