Benjamin Sisko & Julian Bashir Talk About The Political Climate of the Early 2020′s in Past Tense, Part I
Original Dialogue:
SISKO: Don’t be so sure. One of the main complaints against the Sanctuary Districts was overcrowding. It got to the point where they didn’t care how many people were in here. They just wanted to keep them out of sight. BASHIR: And once they were out of sight, what then? I mean, look at this man. There’s no need for that man to live like that. With the right medication, he could lead a full and normal life. SISKO: Maybe in our time. BASHIR: Not just in our time. There are any number of effective treatments for schizophrenia, even in this day and age. They could cure that man now, today, if they gave a damn. SISKO: It’s not that they don’t give a damn, Doctor. It’s that they’ve given up. The social problems they face seem too enormous to deal with. BASHIR: That only makes things worse. Causing people to suffer because you hate them is terrible, but causing people to suffer because you have forgotten how to care? That’s really hard to understand. SISKO: They’ll remember. It’ll take some time and it won’t be easy, but eventually people in this century will remember how to care.
For further context: through another character, we saw that tech millionaires/billionaires were living wonderfully comfortable lives elsewhere in the city. Meanwhile, Sanctuary Districts had been set up to keep homeless and mentally ill individuals contained, so those millionaires (and wealthier people in other cities, as well) would never have to think about them.
The episode first aired in 1995. They’re walking through San Francisco, 2024.

#i feel so conflicted abt feminist b99 bc it is lowkey feminist but it achieves it just by not being complete misogynistic garbage n having– #male characters that genuinely respect women as people & it’s like??? is that really all that takes????? #but you look at 99% of all male-led sitcoms & like……. compared to them b99 is aggressive feminist propaganda & i’m happy abt that #ANYWAY POINT IS b99 is one of the only sitcoms that makes me feel safe. good
Just learned that there is going to be a live action Barbie movie and I expect two things from it:
1.) For it to be as good as Legally Blonde AT MINIMUM
2.) A scene where Barbie hands in a resume and it’s as thick as a novel
3.) Barbie saying, “Don’t worry, I’m a professional!” for literally anything

This dog was depressed for 2 years after his best friend died, but then this duck showed up
“Hey friend sorry I’m late, I reincarnated in a part of the world I’m not familiar with so it took me a while to find you again”
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
Karolina Żebrowska’s “Beauty Through The Ages” video shows not only on the glamorized versions of women but also the real, middle and lower class women as they lived in the past century.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES THANK YOU.
Reblogging again because this is the ONLY “fashion through time” video that does it right. All the others glamorize/modernize the eras WAY too much, esp. considering they’re claiming historical accuracy. This is the only one that truly nails it.

That is because nobody has taken the time or trouble to explain Google to you. When they do your world will become infinitely less puzzling.
