If I was a pro wrestler my persona would be a heel 1970s radio televangelist named the Reverend Doctor Payne who preaches fire and brimstone before every match. Id wear a white linen suit and have a big colonel Sanders facial hair ensemble. My special move would be the Last Rites, a suplex where I grab my opponent by the thigh "like the angel did to Jacob" as if I'm practicing to take revenge one day.

wrestling is the best sport because this persona would be like the 43rd most insane character to exist and everyone would just. accept it immediately

vince mcmahon fought god in the ring once wrestling can be anything you want it to be baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

I've just about come to the conclusion that the reason a lot of analyses of Glass Onion are so desperate to invent a film where the painting that gets blown up in the final act is a fake is because they've internalised the idea that people who destroy art are Always Evil (No Exceptions), so their only options are a. to arrive at a reading of the film where Helen Brand is secretly the villain of the piece, or b. to construct a version of events where she never really destroys any art – and quite understandably, they opt for the second one!

Unfortunately, in constructing a scenario where Helen Brand never destroys any art, they're missing what the film is actually doing – namely, constructing a scenario in which it's morally justifiable to blow up the Mona Lisa.

when miles bron gives his ‘i was inspired by the mona lisa’ monologue, it is also very obvious rian johnson looking at the audience and calling miles a basic bitch for being so obsessed with one of, if not the, most well-known paintings in history. johnson directly stares at his audience and says “maybe, just maybe, if you look at a painting of a woman and her expression is unreadable, there is actually nothing behind those enigmatic eyes. maybe we are pulling meaning out of a void just because the void is interesting to look at.” 

miles bron is the mona lisa. fascinating to look at and something we have all convinced ourselves has a higher meaning and purpose than just what we can see. glass onion tells us, no, the mona lisa is just a commissioned portrait of a beautiful woman. no, miles bron is as one-dimensional as the canvas his love is painted on. 

at one point, claire asks miles “wait, why do you have the mona lisa in your living room?” when i watched glass onion for the first time i thought that was a really weird line since miles had just had his monologue about how his mother had taken him to see it when he was young. but then i got it later, and its because claire knows that if miles had something like the most famous painting in the world in his possession, he would show it off as much as possible. he wouldn’t just look at it as a piece of art but as a prop. he doesn’t even respect the piece of art he draws inspiration from.

miles is as much the product of his company as the tech is- its his face that sells everything. his in-group are mostly public figures with a lot of influence who’s reputations he cannibalizes if it suits him. all he has is how people see him. his money is what feeds his ego, and his ego is what fuels his ability to make money. there is a thin veneer that protects him from exposure and all you really need to do to ruin him is press a single obviously placed button that is literally shaped like a court jester. 

he is empty. he is the glass onion. he is the beloved painting with nothing behind it. we stared into the void and it stared back with a condescending smile. it is morally justifiable to blow up the mona lisa. 

hi. i’m not american. WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE OFFICIAL ARBY’S SLOGAN IS “WE HAVE THE MEATS” OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT FOR MYSELF TODAY JUST NOW

WE HAVE THE MEATS???????????? WE HAVE THE FUCKING MEATS????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

is he single. i want to kiss him on the lips

reblog after you vote, im trying to see something

Excuse me what about that witch that was posting about graverobbing to get bones for rituals

oh my fucking god it doesn’t matter if there’s a trans character in the blood libel harry potter game because the profits from that game are going to be used to further the eradication of trans rights in the uk im literally begging people to use their brains for once

‘ohhh let people enjoy things’ look at me. look me in the eyes. the money you have spent is going to go to an influential transphobe. she is a major part of the anti-trans movement in the uk. by giving her money you are giving her more power and more influence that she will use to to further her transphobic agenda.

‘ohhh but i pirated it :)’ yeah i still don’t trust you. the game is antisemitic as hell and this has been public knowledge for months. i don’t much care for your support of trans people if you’re cool with antisemitism.

‘you’re blowing this way out of proportion’ nah i don’t think i am. i think you’ve made a choice and you’re not comfortable with the consequences of it. but unfortunately for you you can’t play Antisemitism: The Game made by the World’s Most Famous Transphobe and expect jewish people, trans people or their allies to like you.

not spending sixty quid on the Antisemitic Game That Funds Transphobia is literally the bare fucking minimum in allyship and some of you can’t even manage that

THIS IS THE HARDEST I HAVE LAUGHED IN SO LONG YOU HAVE CURED MY DEPRESSION

This is one of the greatest posts I’ve ever witnessed. The payoff was amazing.

you learn something new every day i just learned about the limacodid slug caterpillar and i am obsessed

[ID: Four limacodid slug caterpillars on leaves. They are green, semi-translucent, and oval shaped, with no discernible features except for dotted ridge patterns along their backs. End ID]

Going feral thinking about how we have to pay for the privilege to NOT have to listen to nonstop sales pitches.

"What would your ancestors think of your whole gender thing-" What would YOURS think of being told to buy things every two minutes. I think they would kill CEOs in the streets for being annoying. They were known to do that.

Ye Olde street play and minstrel show being paused every few minutes so the local merchant can hawk his wares from the stage.

I’m gonna pitch a show as “like Game of Thrones but even more gritty and realistic” and then it’s nothing but a baron handling land estimates and organizing road repairs and stuff. There’ll be an entire episode about how a peasant gets brought to court for letting milk cattle graze on communal pastureland even though it’s supposed to be reserved for draft animals.

my ten-episode plan from the writer’s room of this blessed show: -ep. 1: meet the accounting staff of this magical kingdom in a far-off land -ep. 2: land estimates, plenary powers of wizards employed by the office of the royal treasury, and how tax code intersects with succession laws of absolute primogeniture when the lineage in question may have extra-planar ancestry -ep. 3: a full-hour hearing with flashbacks on how mrs. Jones’ cow grazing actually violates three local statutes, is in line with a conflicting royal decree (potentially issued under ensorcelled compulsion), and is entitled to binding arbitration via fey courts. mrs. jones is not entitled to said arbitration, the cow is.  -ep. 4: how land rights and taxation applies to druid circles and sentient treefolk, especially when said land is technically owed fealty to both a human and inhuman entity. we never see any treefolk. -ep. 5: the differing rights and responsibilities of yeomen who freehold land near a lord’s manse vs. yeomen who freehold land held by the lord’s vassals vs. burghers in cities surrounded by forty-foot high gilded walls inscribed with runes so terrible they will burn a man’s flesh just from touching. extensive tax comparisons are made based on type of property held and crop status (cereal crop taxed x, but fiber crops taxed y). -ep. 6 - 9: ep. 3 but for a host of other problems: conflicting tax status for nobles who hold different positions (especially if they technically owe themselves fealty), bridges (just like…in general), a revolt started by a miller, and tax-deductible status for magical family heirlooms and whether or not being part of a dragon’s hoard can be considered “held in escrow.” -ep. 10: the queen kills the king. this is never explained but on a rewatch, isn’t surprising. it does rattle the staff as they look to cook the books and make sure they get paid as revolution sweeps the land. a brief aside is delved into concerning mercenaries. this takes less than five minutes; the rest of the episode concerns a detailed archive of back-taxes owed by the rebel dukes.

Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because people didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do you know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

do you remember the time when people thought it would be the pizza delivery people and factory workers that would be replaced with robots? its becoming far more apparent that they're not going to come for jobs that don't pay, they aren't going to replace what they already have for much cheaper.

they're coming for jobs that require immense skill, like art, like writing. intentionally creating a culture of citizens that feel no need to have a skill. now, don't get me wrong. you don't need to have a skill. its a nice bonus, though, to be praised for the work that started at your brain and ended at your hands

and they're trying to swindle us into making it happen. mass participation in fabricated trends will create data, and that is the exact thing that they are after when they target advertisements and devise algorithms to cater to your interests.

and now, we are seeing images generated from peoples willing participation in these data collecting trends, we are seeing prototype bots that are raking in other peoples writing en masse. we are seeing artificial intelligence getting more and more specific and precise in its goals, especially in security like with the facial recognition bots.

its all for making money, while creating a loophole for not giving money to skilled craftspeople. its about turning skilled professionals into cashiers and fry cooks.

the way I see it, this whole replacement of skill boils down to creating more jobs that pay less. its about creating a culture that makes people lower their expectations. its about making you say, oh, they don't want to commission me. they want artificial intelligence to do it for me. I still need to make money. so I suppose i will find a paying job until someone commissions me.

its an insult, and a scam. I predict that with the coming of AI art, there is going to be a sudden influx of people working minimum wage or unemployed. people that, from a billionaire point of view, do not have to be paid.

call me a boomer, or out of touch, or paranoid, i don't really care. but I will never touch ai art, facial recognition trends, et cetera. we deserve better.
