Pulled out an old fav for this one
barbie trending thumbnails being just . various characters’ mugshots is hilarious actually
Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive
It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.
So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.
until you said that it never occurred to me that the woman in STEM was the scientist and not the rat. i was just like “hell yeah, this rat is a powerful woman pioneering lifesaving technologies as a rescue ranger”
why are we sleeping on this
Rats are the best animals and I’m sad about not owning them anymore but I can’t take the short lifespans :(
Fiction predicts real life yet again <3
Every conservative moral panic, allowed to run its course, eventually devolves into histrionics about Satan
In mainstream conservative Christian thought, Satan is the sole font from which all evil flows. As a result, anything considered abnormal, transgressive, or offensive to Christian cultural hegemony, and in particular white Christian cultural hegemony - variously communism, Black civil rights, homosexuality, transgender existence - is regarded as explicitly inspired by Satan. Consequently many Christians are unable to perceive their ideological enemies as human, but rather demonic forces threatening their way of life. Inevitably, this leads to genocidal rhetoric becoming not only acceptable but perceived as a measured response. Eventually, the actual social issue the outrage was ostensibly about becomes almost an afterthought - subsumed into righteous calls for good Christian soldiers to do battle against the forces of the devil so clearly arrayed against them.

Americans will measure in anything except the metric system
So apparently this is just this guy's thing
Average american unwilling to measure using metric system factoid actually a statistical error. Measurements Georg who refuses to use metric system on 10,000 posts a month is an outlier and should not have been counted.
comedies that turn into tragedies when the fucked up stuff played for jokes suddenly gets treated with the severity and realness that it would get in real life are genuinely my weakness and hit so much harder than tragedies that start off with the sad stuff.
like not only is the audience caught in the whole "boiling the frog" thing with the comedy slowly become a tragedy but it reveals that the characters are as well; that the previous comedy was only perceived as a comedy because the characters had no clue that what they were going through was not normal and just lighthearted fun. the audience realizes it as the characters do, making them both more sympathetic and their arcs all the more tragic as you look back on what previously happened.
Fanfiction.net going/gone down?
Friends -- this is what fanfiction.net's front page looks like right now.
@beautifulfic advises (and I can confirm, I just checked it) that the mobile version of the site, m.fanfiction.net, appears still to be up. STRONGLY suggest that if you have material there that's not preserved elsewhere, you go in via the mobile gateway and archive it NOW.
Please reblog so others can take action.
ETA: @mylittleredgirl advises that if you attach “www.” to the front of the URL, the site displays correctly. But this is still concerning, and suggests somebody’s either monkeying around with their .htaccess file—a fairly important piece of under-the-hood "equipment" for a website—or has possibly misconfigured the site in some other way.
At the moment there's no telling what's going on. Meanwhile, if I had anything over there, I’d back it up anyway.

The GOP wonders why young people (and others) don't want to vote for them. Some wise scribe assembled this list.
1.) Your Reagan-era “trickle-down economics” strategy of tax breaks for billionaires that you continue to employ to this day has widened the gap between rich and poor so much that most of them will never be able to own a home, much less earn a living wage.
2.) You refuse to increase the federal minimum wage, which is still $7.25 an hour (since 2009). Even if it had just kept up with inflation, it would be $27 now. You’re forcing people of all ages but especially young people to work multiple jobs just to afford basic necessities.
3.) You fundamentally oppose and want to kill democracy; have done everything in your power to restrict access to the ballot box, particularly in areas with demographics that tend to vote Democratic (like young people and POC). You staged a fucking coup the last time you lost.
4.) You have abused your disproportionate senate control over the last three decades to pack the courts with religious extremists and idealogues, including SCOTUS—which has rolled back rights for women in ways that do nothing but kill more women and children and expand poverty.
5.) You refuse to enact common sense gun control laws to curb mass shootings like universal background checks and banning assault weapons; subjecting their entire generation to school shootings and drills that are traumatizing in and of themselves. You are owned by the NRA.
6.) You are unequivocally against combatting climate change to the extent that it’s as if you’ve made it your personal mission to ensure they inherit a planet that is beyond the point of no return in terms of remaining habitable for the human race beyond the next few generations.
7.) You oppose all programs that provide assistance to those who need it most. Your governors refused to expand Medicaid even during A PANDEMIC. You are against free school lunches, despite it being the only meal that millions of children can count on to actually receive each day
8.) You are banning books, defunding libraries, barring subject matter, and whitewashing history even more in a fascistic attempt to keep them ignorant of the systemic racism that this nation was literally founded upon and continues to this day in every action your party takes.
9.) You oppose universal healthcare and are still trying to repeal the ACA and rip healthcare from tens of millions of Americans and replace it with nothing. You are against lowering the cost of insulin and prescription drugs that millions need simply to LIVE/FUNCTION in society.
10.) You embrace white nationalists, Neo-Nazis, and other groups that are defined by their intractable racism, xenophobia, bigotry, and intolerance. You conspired with these groups on January 6th to try to overthrow the U.S. government via domestic terrorism that KILLED PEOPLE.
11.) You oppose every bill aimed at making life better for our nation’s youth; from education to extracurricular and financial/nutritional assistance programs. You say you want to “protect the children” while you elect/nominate pedophiles and attack trans youth and drag queens.
12.) You pretend to be offended by “anti-semitism” while literally supporting, electing, and speaking at events organized by Nazis. You pretend to hate “cancel culture” despite the fact that you invented it and it’s basically all you do.
13.) Every word you utter is a lie. You are the party of treason, hypocrisy, crime, and authoritarianism. You want to entrench rule by your aging minority because you know that you have nothing to offer young voters and they will never support you for all these reasons and more.
14.) You’re so hostile to even the notion of helping us overcome the mountain of debt that millions of us are forced to take on just to pay for our post K-12 education that you are suing to try to prevent a small fraction of us from getting even $10,000 in loan forgiveness.
15.) You opened the floodgates of money into politics via Citizens United; allowing our entire system of government to become a cesspool of corruption, crime, and greed. You are supposed to represent the American people whose taxes pay your salary but instead cater to rich donors.
16.) You respond to elected representatives standing in solidarity with their constituents to protest the ONGOING SLAUGHTER of children in schools via shootings by EXPELLING THEM FROM OFFICE & respond to your lack of popularity among young people by trying to raise the voting age.
17.) You impeach Democratic presidents over lying about a BJ but refuse to impeach (then vote twice to acquit) a guy whose entire “administration” was an international crime syndicate being run out of the WH who incited an insurrection to have you killed.
18.) You steal Supreme Court seats from democrats to prevent the only black POTUS we’ve ever had from appointing one and invent fake precedents that you later ignore all to take fundamental rights from Americans; and even your “legitimate” appointments consist of people like THIS (sub-thread refuting CJ Roberts criticisms of people attacking SCOTUS’ legitimacy).
19.) You support mass incarceration even for innocuous offenses or execution by cop for POC while doing nothing but protect rich white criminals who engage in such things as tax fraud, money laundering, sex trafficking, rape/sexual assault, falsifying business records, etc.
20.) You are the reason we can’t pass:—Universal background checks—An assault weapons ban—The ‘For the People/Freedom to vote’ Act or John Lewis Voting Rights Act—The ERA & Equality Act—The Climate Action Now Act—The (Stopping) Violence Against Women Act—SCOTUS expansion.
21.) You do not seek office to govern, represent, or serve the American people. You seek power solely for its own sake so you can impose your narrow-minded puritanical will on others at the expense of their most fundamental rights and freedoms like voting and bodily autonomy.
22.) Ok, last one. You are trying to eliminate social security and Medicare that tens of millions of our parents rely on and paid into their entire lives. And you did everything to maximize preventable deaths from COVID leaving millions of us in mourning.
It's so weird how people think Ada is like this manipulative villainess who use Leon every single time when that's...not even half true?? If anything, that woman has done more good than bad and I feel like some people aren't ready for that conversation.
Ada isn't a villain, but a morally grey character who's more complex than ever because there's very few details about her as a person outside of the femme fatale act she puts on. Hell, till this day, we still don't know what her true motives are, but she ain't trying to destroy the world like every other villain in the franchise.
As far as her relationship with Leon, I think people just likes to stick with her persona in Resident Evil 2 Remake and make it seem like she's trying to manipulate him every single time. Yes, she WAS going to manipulate Leon throughout the game, but she changed her tactics when she recognized that Leon is just a good man trying to do good things for people. Even at the end, Leon TAUNTED Ada to shoot him. Saying stuff like, "Go ahead. Shoot me. I bet you can't do it." Leon probably knew there is some good in Ada and GUESS WHAT? Leon was right. Ada couldn't shoot him. And before she fell to her "death", she told Leon to take care of himself. For all we know, Ada probably wasn't expecting on seeing Leon again after Raccoon City but here we are. Many years later and she STILL actively helps Leon whenever she can.
If there's anyone Ada is manipulating, it's usually the bad guys she "works" with. She gave Wesker a weak/fake sample after the events for Re4 and turned on Simmons when he suggested shit that Ada did not want to do (that man was so obsessed with Ada, he literally created a CLONE just to get what he wanted).
This is getting long, but I need some people to realize that Ada is NOT the evil woman some of y'all want her to be.
THIS IS BIG BIG BIG! YES!
NO MORE FED USE OF PRIVATE PRISONS!
President Biden signed the executive order January 27, 2021. This is the first time I’ve even heard of this. Here are a couple of links with more info:
Biden gets a lot of flack for being a generic neo liberal rather than a cool leftist, and trust me I’m 100% on board with criticizing Biden, but it occurred to me that, at least by my standards, he’s the best president I’ve lived under. Clinton was just “What if Reaganomics but with a saxophone”, Obama did pass the ACA, but he also cut it to bits to appease the republicans who didn’t vote for it anyway, and he constantly bombed middle-eastern civilians. I’m not even gonna bother mentioning any of the republicans since I don’t need to convince my intended audience that they’re bad.
Biden, while he’s obviously had some major bad decisions (breaking the rail strike, failing to defend trans rights), has done more actual good than I think anyone else I’ve lived under. He’s nearly completely ended drone strikes, he’s addressing the debt crisis (everyone knows about the $10k, but very few I’ve seen know about the changes he’s made to how federal student loans work that make them far less of a burden/deathtrap), and now there’s the above, which I’m just learning about.
Never let perfect be the enemy of good, and while Biden is very far from being a perfect president, I’m pretty comfortable calling him a good one.
