One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn’t a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.
This is your yearly reminder that Garfield the cat’s birthday is not, in fact, June 19th. Though the comic titled Garfield debuted on June 19, 1978, the character himself first appears in an earlier comic by Jim Davis called Jon, which debuted on January 8, 1976. For reasons known only to himself, until around 2019 Jim Davis entirely disclaimed the existence of Jon, to the point that his official biographies make no mention of it and falsely give the 1978 date as Garfield’s first published appearance. Garfield’s real birthday is January 8th.
The terrible Gollum game is only the beginning, folks. The Hobbit enters the US public domain in just a little less than ten years, so the current rights-holders are going to be trying to squeeze every last bit of profit they can out of the little fucker before he becomes free to use. You have no idea what’s coming.
You gotta love that Tumblr is on the rise because of Twitter and Reddit going down, and not because Tumblr has actually done anything to really improve its website.
I personally kin with a website that accidentally and coincidentally fails upwards.
The site that wins simply by remaining upright.
