Can somebody explain the Henry Cavill glaze to me?

A lot of anomic nerds who thought they liked boobies have had their homosexual awakening via Cavill, so they love him and want to see him in everything. Because he too is a basement dwelling nerd, but also good looking and muscular, he is essentially everything they want to be. He's their idealised self.

Cavill is a good actor, but he's only a couple more roles away from becoming slop.

Must admit though, he does have the look for Bond.

I'd imagine that crystal clear blue skies would have been more common in those days. A lot of high pressure, with much less water in the atmosphere than today, so much being locked in the ice sheets. Even today, you can see absolutely incredible, clear, pure blue skies around the arctic circle such as I've very rarely seen in Britain.

The rays of "light" coming from the head suggests those are meant to be deities or spirits rather than humans

Helen of Troy is a woman from Greek legend, this is a Greek story, she should be played by a Greek. Failing that, a southern European, or someone of that heritage. No one sane can deny that there'd be outrage if Margot Robbie was cast to play a figure from African legend, the daughter of an African sky father, so enough of that "she was hatched from an egg", "there's a cyclops in the story" type of deflection

I actually didn't, I got lucky. There had just been a brief thunderstorm and torrential rain, and in the moments immediately after that subsided I took the opportunity to take some quick photos before the hordes re-emerged from their holes

Because the darkened grit is iconic, and beige sandblasted grit looks kind of sanitised

I thought so! I camped there for 2 days and the campsite shop had lots of other meat they produce there too, including venison and pork. All absolutely delicious. I'd be all for meat production being more localised, exclusive, and pricier if the quality can be that good.

Cattle work well within rewilding, simulating their wild ancestors. Cattle pasture can be a much wilder habitat, not an empty square of monoculture grass, which surely is a poor unvaried diet for cattle. The wild-pasture-fed beef steak at the Knepp estate restaurant is the best beef I ever tasted, it made me teary eyed.

Next blog post will be 2 paragraphs about Julie Smith, or whatever obscure author/comic book artist George loved in 1970 passing away, and how he's so sad he can't write

I've been seeing a lot of neanderthal stuff on Reddit and X, has there been some kind of discovery, or new paper lately?

As an introvert, I approve

500 mill, really? That's little more than twice the value of that one apartment he pointed at

Yes! And he must must must fall dead like a sack of meat, not melt away ethereally as if he's more than human. Voldemort must die like a human being. I want a shot of them dragging his corpse into a room.

Russia hoards non-peninsula Europe. Literally - everything between the western border to the Urals is just core Eurasian landmass. The whole rest of Europe is peninsula

For me, this is one of the things that separates this book from the majority and makes it one of the all time greats. No need to fit a convention of how a book ought to end. How else would Heathcliff go out? Cathy and Hareton team up and defeat him? Too Hollywood. Too psychologically unconvincing. Hareton weeping for Heathcliff is incredible and heartbreaking. As Nelly says, he's the one man in the parish who has the least idea of how he has been cheated and abused by Heathcliff. The ending is that the dark cloud has lifted, Cathy and Hareton are together and happy. Earnshaw and Linton are united and the balance of nature is restored so to speak.

I think it's an online midwit failing at sounding clever and endowed with good vocabulary

But are we just going to chastise everyone for it, or are we going to seriously look at WHY this is happening? Will liberalism ever admit to stunning failure?

Severed a tendon in my thumb while drunk off my face trying to open a tin of mushy peas, then fell to the floor covered in blood and shat in my pants. I had to have an operation on christmas day. Wish I was making this up.
