There is no definition of genocide that describes what Palestinians in Gaza are currently suffering, unless you believe Ukraine was committing a genocide of Russians in Donbas or that World War II was a genocide against Germans.

The word you’re looking for is “war”.

As it stands, there is only one motivation, besides emotional manipulation through hyperbole, that explains this misuse of “genocide”: that is, to minimize cynically what Jews have experienced repeatedly in our history. Holocaust inversion is Holocaust minimization. Genocide inversion is genocide minimization. If you have be referring to this conflict as a “genocide”, I can only conclude it is because you finally have the opportunity you’ve always waited for to engage safely in Holocaust denial.

Why is this cat so intimidating to me

@driftingtowardsirony He's HUGE and seems so still. He's a bit scary to me, isn't he?

Actually he was born in Italy, making him Italian!

Psst, hey, hey you, yes you

Everybody who reblogs this before may 25th 2019 will get a little cryptid design based on their blog, url, etc.

at this point you are just showing off.

How? How is it fucking possible to make stone look sheer?

I’ve loved some of these for a very long time. I’m glad someone compiled them.

angery!

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

Okay but…if someone wants to take me on a date to a Barnes and noble and get me dinner and a drink and then let me peruse the stacks like I’m not saying no. A sandwich, a beer, and 2-5 books on various topics I hope I’ll someday read about? Good night.

The Swedish equivalent of Blockbuster is now best known for its candy, snacks and sodas.

This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an old theatre turned bookstore in Buenos Aires:

The stage itself was turned into a cafe:

You can’t even begin to comprehend the massive amounts of money this place makes, despite the fact that they turned the theatre boxes into reading nooks like this:

I’ve literally spent days holed up in there reading books for free while also consuming massive amounts of coffee and pastries.

Adapt or die, people.

OMG that’s AMAZING!

Yes!!! Wine and a book nothing better

The pics are from a bookshop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, El Ateneo. This specific branch used to be a theatre. I went there with my sister last August. It's been declared one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world.

She looks awesome!

Pieta, 1499, Michelangelo Buonarroti

What I've always loved about the Pieta are the folds of the robes. How can marble be so alive?

In honour of World Poetry Day, let’s revisit Benedict’s telling of “All the World’s a Stage” by Shakespeare. Though originally a monologue from “As you Like it”, it has found life as a stand-alone poem.
