the statue in the bottom right is Le génie du mal, carved by guillame geefs to replace a different lucifer (known as either Le génie du mal or L’ange du mal) carved by his younger brother. why did joseph geefs’ lucifer get removed from the cathedral? it was too sexy. the statue was too sexy by far.
st. paul’s cathedral in liége went from one lucifer, whom they called ‘too sublime’ and removed because he was distracting ‘pretty penitent girls,’ to another lucifer, who they’ve left there for 170 years even though he’s so hot that satanists visit the cathedral to meditate in the presence of this Most Sexy Of Lucifers
here’s how i imagine that went down.
liege cathedral: hmm. you know what we need? a nice satan for our church. let’s ask joey geefs
joseph geefs: sculpts this
liege cathedral: no!! too hot!! now we all want to fuck lucifer! we need a different satan. let’s ask… the sexy lucifer sculptor’s BROTHER. yes. willy geefs is older so he definitely doesn’t want to fuck lucifer
guillaume geefs, who DOES want to fuck lucifer, and the only sign of his being older than his brother is that the lucifer he wants to fuck is somewhat older: sculpts this
liege cathedral: shit. well we don’t have any more money for lucifers so i guess we’ll keep this sexy lucifer
mlm, straight girls, and satanists in the vicinity of liege: NICE
Vatniks and tankies can't get over the fact that Finland, the Baltic states and Poland still exist (and are much better off without Russia)….
They dream of the day when Russia will re-invade these countries, and if that ever happens you can bet your bottom dollar that vatnik and tankie clowns everywhere will be supporting the imperialism of Russia's ruling class, blaming the victims, mindlessely repeating the Kremlin's propaganda and cheerleading their war crimes from afar.
That's one reason why vatniks and tankies also hate NATO, because joining NATO is what prevents Russia from invading….
I have a question, when can we watch the Kremlin burn to the ground?
*growls in Polish*
People who are starved out of conversation will approach it as if it was sacred, people who are starved out of touch experience any touch given to them as the highest form of intimacy, people starved out of gentleness will react to it as if it’s an invasion, an attempt to break them down, and people starved out of a community will approach it as if it was a minefield.
I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.
ALTIT GETS WORSE!
"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.

People who HAVEN'T read Discworld: Which of these things DIDN'T happen?
Death gets a job as a line cook
A middle-aged protagonist saves the world with a half a brick in a sock
The god of evolution started making Australia but never finished it
A man goes into a barbarian rage by screaming his son a bedtime story at 6PM
A fancy psychiatrist goblin plays basketball
Half the dwarf population have a trans revolution throughout several books
Wizards invent a computer, and Death makes the computer want a teddy bear
Two witches go to the opera after one gets rich writing a lewd cookbook
A charlatan gets hanged and then has to work as postmaster general
They talk about gay wizard sex at one point
Saw this trend going around and knew Discworld would be a fun one for it. Really wish I could make more and longer poll options.
Other options I considered (all real);
- Platoon of lesbians and transmen commit war crimes for an entire book (Go read Monstrous Regiment)
- Man arrests two entire nations because "war is just crime on a larger scale"; he makes every single soldier play sports instead.
- Death is a bad dad (even more so grandad)
- Go read Discworld right now you won't regret it.
