If the WHOLE COUNTRY'S economy cannot work without the labor that UPS workers provide, than their labor is worth their demands and more.

No other conclusion can be rationally made from this information.

it’s horrific. awful way to die. either you’re trapped with no chance of being found, air running out, everyone around you suffocating, or the hull is broken and you get turned to jelly by the crushing ocean depths. ik they’re billionaires so it’s very contentious for me. generally i prefer no one dies horrifically. like just as a fellow human being on earth. but i dont think the ultra rich ever extend that mindset to others. climate refugees. and just everything. it feels like something a greek god would do to punish them. it has a certain swagful je ne sais quoi if removed from the human suffering which billionaires have to do philosophically to maintain their positions. very haunting. the hubris of it all. old jalopy metal tube steered by a mad catz controller. to go look at the titanic. which is nothing but a rusted out metal wreck full of fish and silt. btw. the grandiosity of it is completely unrecognizable. one has to wonder what compels ppl to even look at it in the first place. like the prestige of seeing some filthy grown over shell? crazy thing to die for. very textually rich… bad way to die as a human being. great way to die as a narrative about human greed and folly i guess. good job. mission accomplished?

Wall paintings by Eron

“Davide Salvadei, also known as Eron, is an Italian contemporary artist born in Rimini in 1978. He is considered to be one of the most gifted and virtuous Italian painters of the 21st century. Eron uses spray-paining techniques and made his mark with his artwork ‘Forever and Ever’ in 2010, when he was invited paint a church ceiling.” [from the Urban Nation Museum website]

And of course they’re defending this policy by saying it’s to fight child sex trafficking. What a surprise, that this particular moral panic is being used to smokescreen measures that will endanger vulnerable and desperate people exercising their rights!

examples of each:

  1. barefoot stepping on a nail
  2. gruesome werewolf transformation
  3. complete community ostracism or societal breakdown, the social contract to help each other doesn't apply to you or is fundamentally broken
  4. mother tells child they must do something horrible to prevent damnation, cults
  5. an older sibling forgets their younger sibling sleeping in the hot car
  6. was that your mom's voice in the kitchen or was that something that sounds like her?
  7. someone tortures a stranger simply because it's interesting and they're bored. cruelty is the point.
  8. people drinking coffee and joking around while they put in motion profound atrocities
  9. natural disasters, freezing/drowning/dehydrating/starving to death, being stranded or lost
  10. looking through photos from your solo camping trip, you find several of yourself asleep in the tent.

It’s infuriating how so many women were (and still are) discriminated against for being female

she also killed and dissected a rabbit so that her peter rabbit would be as ACCURATE as possible. all the magic of countless children’s childhoods was built upon the bones of a single bunny’s sacrifice. how delightful. how horrific. what necromancer could dream of such impact with a single stroke of their blade.

(celebrated children’s fantasist) diana wynne jones said that she once wandered into beatrix potter’s yard by accident as a kid and got chased off because beatrix potter disliked children, which really fits into the rest of this quite neatly

Diana Wynne Jones having wacky stories about the pillars of (fun) British Literature is my favourite thing about her.

The Musical Cushion

The above illustration is sufficient to describe this decidedly clever novelty. This cushion is made so as not to invite suspicion from the most careful observer, the moment a person sits down on the cushion, a series of the most hideous noises imaginable is produced. The effect created with this novelty would be impossible to describe.

Item: the Musical Cushion. Appears to be a normal cushion but when sat on it goes (roll d10)

[ID: A screenshot of a Tweet and ReTweet.

The original Tweet reads: "do the studios realize that the current state of streaming residuals absolutely destroys the moral case against piracy".

The ReTweet adds on: "like the moral case against piracy is 'people deserve to get paid for their work' except it turns out the people getting paid aren't the people who did the work'".
