Belarusian Cyrillic вачэй Саурона

This means 'of Sauron's eyes' and looks like it was google translated. Should be 'Вока Саурона/Саўрона'. They got Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish right, though.

On April 2, 2015, 20th Century Fox announced work on a movie with Hasbro Studios along with its subsidiary company Allspark Pictures and Chernin Entertainment producing, Jason Micallef writing, and Paul Feig directing from his production company Feigco.[15] It is unknown if the film is still in production, but it is highly unlikely.

Family and relationships

James' Discovery Channel website states that his great-great-grandfather was the notorious outlaw's cousin.[11] However, Eric James, president of the James Preservation Trust, which tracks claims of being a relative of the outlaw, says it cannot find a record of him in the family tree, and has asked him to provide a family genealogy and DNA sample for the trust to review; he has not provided the requested information.[12][13][14]

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
looked at the wiki page for Inside Out for some reason and got tripped up by the sentence "The filmmakers convinced some psychologists to consider its accurate story by researching the mind."
in trying to figure out what the gently caress that means, i found that one guy has made >1000 edits to the page this year

anyway an older version of the sentence was "The film's producers consulted numerous psychologists including Dacher Keltner from the University of California, Berkeley,[5] who helped revise the story by emphasizing the neuropsychological findings that human emotions affect interpersonal relationships and can be significantly moderated by them.[6]"

it got reworded because the original was too wordy, apparently

i've mostly quit posting the cute and funny things i find on wikipedia now because of that turdlord and all his pallies who go and take them out.



also i've made perhaps a dozen edits over the last few months, mostly just fixing things that bug me like sentence fragments or unclear wording as i would with a student's paper. every one i've gone back to check on has been reverted within 24 hours with no comment, i assume because the king poo poo editors just do that to anonymous edits automatically. gg
