I see so many people starting to use Threads as a way to escape Twitter and yes, it's owned by Facebook's CEO and giving Facebook the monopoly of social media is bad but I think we should also talk about the fact that, you know, Threads isn't avalibe in the EU for privacy reasons????? That should be concerning to EVERYONE

No such thing as a tomato sauce boat. No such thing as a salad dressing boat. But I guess if you’re gravy you get ~SpEcIaL nAuTiCaL pRiViLeGeS~

I mean, marinara, it’s right there in the name. Who is more deserving, I ask you?

…you know you can put any sauce you want in your own gravy boat, OP? You know that, right?

Well yeah. You can put lemonade in it if you want to. Or use it as a spittoon. Or a paperweight. Whatever.

But when you’re not using it? When you have cleaned it and put it back in the cupboard? What is it then? That’s right. It reverts to being a gravy boat. Because that’s what it’s, as they say, “for.”

And when you take it out again and fill it with, idk, salsa verde, what will people say? They’ll say, “Oh, that’s a good use for a gravy boat.” No one ever says “how clever of you to use a salsa boat to serve gravy.” Because the boat defaults to gravy. That is the problem.

If I go to the store and ask for a raita boat, I get funny looks. If I ask for a gravy boat, they know exactly what I’m talking about. Fair? No. Fact? Yes.

Can you see that this is about what is a marked use and what is an unmarked use? Can you see that, friend orbisonblue? That this is not just about what I, personally, can do with my tableware, but what our society considers to be “normal’ sauce-serving practice, and what is “abnormal”? Can you?

Archaeologists determining if mundane objects are also ritual objects 

i think as a society we should go back to designing furniture w little feet. it would heal us.

please look me in the eye and tell me this doesn't spark joy

oh we won, this is gonna be a cinematic event

Hey, could you do me a favor?

THANK YOU THIS IS MAKING MY BRAIN SO HAPPY AAAAAAAAA

THIS IS SO SATISFYING ITS LIKE A GROUP OF PLANKTON OR A RAILWAY CHART...

I have long said that in order for any comedy to truly succeed as a story, there has to be meat beneath the jokes. There has to be that moment when it is not funny any more.

This. This is that moment.

#honestly even though this is one of the best scripts there ever has been  #that is the greatest line  #it’s /groundbreaking/ in terms of how it frames vengeance quests; temptation beats; inigo as a comedic figure throughout the movie  #you know because this is a happy book (film) that inigo will get his revenge  #but will he get JUSTICE  #will he get ABSOLUTION  #will he get CATHARSIS  #those are the things we don’t know  #and that line sells it more than any of the previous scene (x)

other people have said this but elon musk might actually be the dumbest person alive for thinking it’s a good idea to limit views on a website that makes money through advertising

I need to settle something

so what I have learned from this is there is a group of people who absolutely will not allow their cat to peruse their bathroom under any circumstances

My beloved Mochi is dumb as hell and too smart for his own good and he WILL open the drawers and eat a whole tube of toothpaste if he's allowed even 30 seconds in the bathroom alone and I do not need that kind of vet bill.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG DOG PEPPERONI

this series still has such a chokehold on me

I have something I want to check, but the answer may scare me. Alright, here it goes:

Please reblog, though I'm pretty sure it's gonna be pretty conclusive regardless of sample size.

More fat characters who are complex heroes, serious love interests, funny without mentioning their weight, brooding anti-heroes, compelling antagonists, random bystanders without comments toward their looks

Spider-Man: MENACE

Given the response to this comic on Twitter, I don’t think the internet is ready for the sequel to this comic so here’s an excerpt from it:

Here’s a very good bit of reporting about a very specific example of a Broken System that cops in NYC deal with by criminalizing normal behavior (it’s outlined in the first ten minutes).

I figure the only cops on Spider-Man’s side would be those who refuse to participate.
