Well yes, we could send Glorfindel who has already fought a Balrog before. But, hear me out, what about this pudgy gardener instead?

Da gibt es sogar ein Maus Comic über diese Zeit, das ist sogar noch besser.

Echter Satz, den ich mal auf Arbeit gehört habe: “Ich werde versuchen, darüber nachzudenken.”

Oh yeah, the super sorcerer that didn’t want to die. I seriuosly never understood why DEATH keeps him around.

Maybe he wants to prove to Albert that he genuinely wants to die after being a servant for several millenia?

Well, he could talk to his adopted granddaughter, but who does that?

I always felt he only took on an apprentice to have someone to talk to.

Er ist nicht der schlechteste Kanzler, den Deutschland jemals hatte (da gibt es noch einen anderen), aber auf jeden Fall einer der schlechtest-möglichen in einer Zeit von so vielen Krisen und Herausforderungen. Trotzdem bin ich mir sicher, dass wir uns noch alle Scholz zurückwünschen werden, wenn erst Merz regiert.

Man kann nur hoffen, dass er so antisympathisch rüberkommt, dass die Grünen wieder ansteigen.

Is that an AI comic? It’s incomprehensible.

“A Country Doctor” by Franz Kafka. The whole thing is just one disturbing nightmare.

Sounds to me like kids shouldn’t be superheroes (looking at you, Xavier).

Well, it’s more motivated than the comic version where Reed Richards and Tony Stark suddenly acted like super villians and cloned Thor without his consent as well as establishing a concentration camp for superheroes in the negative zone. Comic Civil War was wild.

And this is why good people who got rich don’t stay rich and people who do are usually selfish assholes. Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, he could have literally built hundreds of amusement parks for disabled people with the same money. Or do literally a thousand other things to make life for other people better. Instead he bought a toxic social media platform to make it even more toxic.

Hauptsache Putin-Marionette!

No, the “hamburger steak”, mentioned in the Oxford dictionary in 1802, was roasted and salted minced beef meat. So pretty close to the present day patty actually.

The problem is that the origin is “hamburger beef steak” which is the beef patty that came from Germany. This was combined with a sandwich to create a “hamburger sandwich”. Over time, the sandwich part was dropped and now here we are.

I think we are all just too cynical in our modern times to believe in granted wishes without any downsides.

Die Brandmauer wird schnell fallen. Wird ein schleichender Prozess, weil man nicht immer dagegen sein kann, weil die AFD dafür ist und ehe man es sich versieht, regieren die Faschisten munter mit.

Einzige Hoffnung ist dann, dass sie sich mit völliger Inkompetenz schnell selbst entzaubern.

The making of of that movie is hilarious, since it’s Ford acting opposite a guy in a tracking-gimpsuit on all fours pretending to be a dog and licking Ford’s face and stuff like that.

Vielen Dank… für den Ohrwurm!

BSG had the perfectly bleak, nihilistic ending in the middle of the last season but unfortunately continued on after that.
