I was hoping for more loopdy loops
i love monument mythos so much bc of the drastic tone shifts between videos. one will be about how president james dean plays bongos and races richard nixon and the next is how people are trapped inside the statue of lincoln with nothing but two itty bitty holes to see through and occasionally drink weird soup as its the only sustenance they can receive and after that some guys found george washington in a lake
i don’t know why i love this so much but i do
вопросик?!

Gonna tell my kids this is Ed edd and eddy
I think it’s interesting how there was a shift in our culture where tv was suddenly viewed as better than movies because on tv you could see these developed long form stories (sopranos, mad men, breaking bad) and in theaters they were playing dumb superhero movies and blockbusters. But now. Theaters are still playing bad movies, but tv’s quality has gotten exponentially worse. they don’t care about where the story goes it’s just about getting another season in and making sure people are talking, tweeting, and writing about it.

this is especially sad while the only pro-democracy newspaper (print media) in the city is forced to shut down this week…
[text ID: a comment pinned by “thelastpeanut”, reading:
“I’m genuinely touched by the sudden influx of attention, but I want to humbly remind everyone that each protester you see in this video is now either in jail, in exile or in some form of hiding. Most can’t escape, and now that the decades-old Hong Kong democracy movement has been completely crushed, they’ll likely live the rest of their lives under Beijing’s authoritarian rule. The protesters knew it would probably end like this, but they did it anyways, hence the rallying cry of “攬炒”… “if we burn, you burn with us”.
Most of my friends now suffer from PTSD, depression or perpetual anxiety. Words and ideas that were once debated in public are now whispered in private - or not at all - out of fear that a neighbour or co-worker or family member overhears and decides to report you. I don’t think calling Hong Kong a police state is an exaggeration anymore, and it’s only the beginning.
Maybe it’s too late for Hong Kong, but you can still learn from what happened here. I hope you realise that you’re not alone, that your pain and yearning is shared by countless silent strangers, and that when enough people speak as one, you can move the needle of history. I’ve seen it happen.
Most of all, I hope you remember us.”

Hongkonger here.
I cannot begin to describe the feelings I have seeing this post here. Grateful, but sadden.
The information here is correct, though the shut down of the Apple Daily, the pro-democary paper was already months ago.
One of our biggest concerns now is the National Security Law, which allows the government to basically arrest anyone and ban anything that speaks against them. Movies and documentaries about the protests have been banned in Hong Kong. (e.g. 少年'May You Stay Forever Young’ and 時代革命 ‘Revolution of our times’, which got the Best Documentary award in Taiwan’s 58th Golden Horse Awards. )
A lot of our protestors are jailed. Our pro-democratic socities have disassembled. Our democratic politicians are facing charges or have been jailed. Candidates for our upcoming election for the legislation council are all more or less pro-beijing, and even publishing a poll that shows people are choosing not to vote for anyone this year risks breaking the law.
The situation is pretty bleak, and a lot of us have plans to leave Hong Kong because of it. Especially teachers, who are either unwilling to teach students propaganda and only information about how great China is, or fear that they will say something anti-China and will be reported and have to go to jail.
People mostly avoid talking about politics now. Whereas once we all talked about it openly, you can feel that we are all censoring ourselves now. And even if they do, it is mostly behind closed doors or whispered between friends or using really watered down facing.
(and whereas once I would talk and post about all this in IG, which is popular among HKers, I do not dare to now. Tumblr still seems safe. Hardly anyone know about Tumblr in HK)
Anyway, thanks for remembering us and reblogging this.
This may sound mean, but...
If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I'll delete it. Do it again and I'll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing -- I don't want to read it, legally I can't read it, no I won't make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it's crossing a line.
A reminder for the kiddies who are way too young to remember the Anne Rice days... and for the adults definitely old enough to know better but too dense to Get It Through Their Heads Without It Being Oft Repeated And Said With Profanity.
Do Not Send Authors/Artists/Etc Your Fanfics. Ever. It opens them *and you* up to loads of potential legal issues, and is just... weird.
It crosses lots of just weird personal and also LOADS of legal boundaries, and it is *not* something you should do. Even if the author in question (in this case, Neil) supports the right of fans to participate in creation of derivative fan works, that is not an invitation to send them to him. He legally cannot read them. Period.
Seriously, y'all, knock it the hell off.
Also - do y'all wanna revisit the Anne Rice days where fan-authors got cease and desist letters and threats of being sued? Because I'm old enough to remember those days and don't want to go back to worrying about that nightmare.
For a primer on that drama... here's some reading material:
Ok so Haumea, a dwarf planet beyond Pluto, spins so fast it gets elongated like this. This is just what it looks like. Something deeply unsettles me looking at it. Terrifying.
this is so fucked up
