Inspector, if you can’t find the murderer I suggest wrapping this up (yea)
i would watch an entire show of this
oops
think i figured out how to replicate this (you're welcome dev team (btw hire me @staff))
- write a tag
- copy text from a tag that has the #
- paste that text into a tag youre *editing* (doesnt seem to trigger on new tags)
really funny that every website is in an arms race to make itself as bad as possible and immediately someone makes a firefox extension to fix it
In a statement to The Post, a spokesperson for NBCUniversal claimed the tree work is simply an annual ritual at this time of year. “We understand that the safety tree trimming of the Ficus trees we did on Barham Blvd. has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention. In partnership with licensed arborists, we have pruned these trees annually at this time of year to ensure that the canopies are light ahead of the high wind season,” they wrote. “We support the WGA and SAG’s right to demonstrate and are working to provide some shade coverage. We continue to openly communicate with the labor leaders on-site to work together during this time.”
If those trees were pollarded annually, the cut areas would NOT look like that. There would be big knobs of old growth at the trimming sites. Not seeing any of that here. The way those trees were topped (not pollarded, which is a very careful process that has to begin when the tree is immature) is excellent way to kill them due to loss of hydration, open sites to infection and parasitism during the best time of year for both, lack of nutrition due to so little greenery and new budding growth being left, sunburn and other exposure damage, and a myriad of other possibilities. Plus, if they were topped annually, they would not have the lovely drooping branches seen in the other picture but would have tons of vertical suckers instead.
This is what an annually pollarded mature tree should look like:
If this was done by the city, the public works arborists should be protesting in front of city hall and screaming their heads off right now. I'm not hearing about that, so... Tree law!
The Studios: *speak*
Botanists and other Tree Experts:
My mom said when she used to go to business meetings at GM in Detroit in the 1980’s, they would close the sidewalks to “repave” them whenever the unions were preparing to strike, making it more difficult or impossible for them to protest outside. This is a thing, this has been happening for decades. They know what they’re doing.
The bosses hate you and think of you with contempt, and they will lie to your face while they make your life harder.

When most people "roll their eyes", they flick their eyes directly upward, usually as far as they comfortably go, then resume looking normally.
When someone who learned the phrase before the behavior does it, they usually go in a circular (ish) motion. Since most eye movements are lines, it's usually pretty triangular: the key points are usually a diagonal up one way, then to the far other side, then to a diagonal low the first way. Thus, the eyes basically make a loop, so they "rolled".
I've found that when people who learned the up-down way first try the circular motion, they might risk motion sickness, so experiment carefully.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOST PEOPLE JUST LOOK UP

Austrian photographer Inge Prader was responsible for spearheading and photographing these recreated Gustav Klimt masterworks for Style Bible, a part of the Life Ball Charity Event in Vienna, Austria. A team of over 50 professionals worked on the demanding photography project which raises funds to help those with HIV/AIDS. Makeup artists, costume designers, set designers, lighting specialists and many others worked with models, and specially created props to bring to life the compelling and deeply erotic work that Klimt is known for during his “Golden Phase.” Life imitating art, which imitates life.
I like to believe that any images “removed for violating Tumblr’s Community Guidelines” contain nothing but the absolute raunchiest porn of omegaverse orgies, because of course their bots wouldn’t be blocking actual art you might seen in a museum.
me wearily opening twitter: please show me just one nice thing for once
twitter: baldur's gate 3 lets you fuck a bear
me: you know what? good enough
you know for context initially you weren’t able to fuck the bear but people were so horny over the druid npc (who for context in his normal form is an unreasonably jacked and friendly elf) that the studio threw up its hands and said “fuck it you all are calling him a bear let’s make it legit” and then they showed the vampire twink character getting fucked by the bear on stream and got banned. there’s also a toe sucking scene in the game that they used for promotional material. it’s also got some of the best character writing and encounter design in any RPG I’ve ever played.
can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike
i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.
im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

the people who got violently angry at everyone in dracula for not realising they were in a horror story until it was too late would die if they read carmilla I think
novels written in the 1800s will say ”you’re enjoying this too much heres some racism”
““I have been in love with no one, and never shall,” she whispered, “unless it should be with you.””
— Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla, 1872
