Want to know the difference between the Ancient Greeks and the Ancient Romans? Just look at their statues.

Art always tells you what a society wants to believe about itself.

So, from the Soviet Union to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, here's what art says about who we are...

@violetvolume @CAwkward One of my cats do that too. It's extremely unhelpful.

The Star Wars Carbon-Freezing Chamber Ornament from Hallmark is both ridiculous and amazing. Wait for it. This is an ORNAMENT.

This scene makes me tear up every single time I watch it.

On Saturday, June 17, I was on a Lyft ride in Washington, D.C. that made me fear for my safety.

On the morning of his 95th birthday, Joe woke up at exactly 6AM.

This small irony never failed to irritate him: he had never been a morning person, but the more the years passed, the earlier he woke.

I have been playing a lot of Mass Effect Legendary lately, so thought I would take a break and try a new game. Decided to try For Honor, which has been pretty great so far. But I couldn't shake the feeling that the female VA sounded familiar.

@jhaletweets is EVERYWHERE 🤣

What alcohol is that for you?

one time in med school the crash cart got brought to a room way too fast and it crashed into the wall and a nurse said “guess that’s why they call it the cr—” and then another nurse said “if u finish that sentence I will squirt this saline at u so it looks like u peed yourself”

I feel like female contribution to the family can be summed up in the simple fact that mothers could absolutely never have a “secret second family.”

@jamielynncrofts Yep!! I feel like my glasses at least add a little contrast, whereas with my contacts in it's just one big ol' white slab.
