ok, now im convinced elon musk is doing this shit on purpose
"twitter" and "tweeting" is like a one in a million shooting star branding miracle, no other social media site has achieved that kinda ubiquity on the level of "google" or "photoshop". he just threw all that in the garbage for a generic name with a logo they can't protect
#his expression in the last panel is black comic gold #the best part is that his dad was trying to be nice
are you sure. are you sure calvin’s dad is not a seasoned elder trickster. are you sure this isn’t the exact outcome he was hoping for
*looks pointedly at ETD*
Calvin’s dad is basically a Calvin who has learned that he can’t get away with running outside naked or throwing snowballs at neighborhood girls, but he is still precisely the same little shit under the thin veneer of civilization.
@lyricwritesprose Calvin and Hobbes has been one of my favorite things since I could read and Calvin’s dad one of my favorite characters, but that last comment blew my mind wide open. Of course that’s what he is. Of course.
one of the most subtly delightful things about calvin and hobbes is that you can SEE that calvin is his parents’ kid: his dad is so playful and imaginative, and his mom has a heck of a temper and a good sense of what’s right and wrong. calvin is a smart, passionate, imaginative kid who gets really upset when he thinks things are stupid or unfair. he drives his parents crazy sometimes because he’s a kid. but they were probably a lot like calvin themselves, when they were little.
My favorite goddamn comic
Also didn’t Calvin make a comment once that apparently his grandma said his mother was just as much of a troublemaker as he is
*starts messaging people after months of silence, enthusiastically happy* "soooo I've been depressed, sorry for being dead, how are you!"
in all seriousness though; I think the important thing, if this is happening to you, is to remember that most people aren't going to hate you for having life stuff and depression, and like my loving partner always says, "words don't have an expiration date", so it's ok if you aren't able to respond to something immediately. Try not to beat yourself up over not responding, cause it'll only make it harder for you to reach out to those you love, and talking to people will help your depression.
somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
This can't be real life.
Nicknamed "Project 42," the initiative is believed to involve a purchase of millions of dollars in special glass — large enough that it drew attention from employees last year. Limited liability firms linked to Musk and executives are also known to have bought large volumes of land in the area.
