*points 2 my heart* when will the xkit guy fix….this….

I’ve barely seen anything on tumblr about the blackout in Washington DC

There’s been radio silence from the city since 1am local time, tweets about it are being deleting and suppressed

[edit to add: there’s now reports coming out that the blackout was fake, I can’t confirm either way, be vigilant]

they’re being hacked

Not only are people being hacked, the message is literally copy/pasted for every account. It’s so incredibly transparent.

Guys no. This was a coordinated attack to sow miscommunication. There was no blackout in DC. Bots spread the news that there was and then, even more insidiously bots THEN started claiming there weren’t.  The end goal isn’t to further any single narrative but to cause people to doubt everything they read and what they know to be true. We don’t know who is behind the attack but we do know that this is a page directly out of the Russians playbook. If you reblogged the initial post please reblog this correction. We can’t let them win.

As someone who lives in Arlington VA and can see most of DC from their apartment, I can confirm that picture of the city on fire is fake. I can see that area from my window, I would have seen that. There’s have been a lot of helicopters (both news and police) in the evenings and some reports of small fires, but most of the action has been focused on the area around the White House and the Capitol, and not to the apocalyptic level shown in those photos

As for a blackout, also false. I’ve been in contact with colleagues and have talked to others in and around the District with little issue. While there have been some reports of slow and spotty cell and internet reception, this isn’t necessarily because of the police. People have been reporting issues with the internet for months now since many have been working/teaching/calling from home due to the Cornovirus lockdown. That amount has been straining the internet in some areas at certain times, although there have been no reports I know of off full blackouts.

Please stay aware of misinformation. People both in and outside this country have an interest in spreading panic. Check your sources and stay informed, and don’t jump to conclusions.

I want to meet James Baxter one day so that I can say I’ve seen god with my own two eyes

Taste closed

Inspector, if you can’t find the murderer I suggest wrapping this up (yea)

i would watch an entire show of this

This doesn’t say EDM

john mulaney and pancakes

ok SO john mulaney has a new live show on the netflicks (the comeback kid) and i was lucky enough to see him do this act live in milwaukee this summer!!! but the recorded show is missing something special

so summer in milwaukee is known for being like. comically humid. disgustingly, oppressively humid. ‘can’t tell the difference between being downtown and being literally submerged in lake michigan’ humid

and poor john mulaney was wearing a nice-looking but also very warm suit. so once about every 10-20 minutes he would pause whatever spiel he was on, wipe his forehead, flutter his jacket about, regret his fashion choices and ask what was wrong with us that we don’t properly air condition our venues

about halfway through the show, a woman in one of the front rows stood up and started to walk out so in classic mulaney fashion he razzed her that she couldn’t take the heat either and asked her to bring him a pepsi - she didn’t break stride (i would try to play it cool too if over a thousand people were suddenly watching me get razzed by mulaney)

as soon as she was out of the theatre, he turned his mic off and started yelling to those of us who were still in there

“okay guys, we’re going to play a little prank on her! can everyone hear me? WE’RE GOING TO PLAY A PRANK! at some point later in the show i’m going to say ‘you know what they say in milwaukee!!’ and you’re all going to wave your arm around like this’ - he jauntily waved his arm with his first finger outstretched, like an 80 year old man doing the charleston - ‘and you will all shout ‘gimme some PANcakes!!!’’

we did a few rehearsals of this until he was satisfied, and he turned his mic back on and continued with his act

a few minutes later the woman walked back through the theatre but passed her row, walked all the way up to the stage, and set a can of pepsi at mulaney’s feet. he stopped, mouth agape for a moment and touched his chest. ‘is this really for me?’ he asked. ‘did i ask you for pepsi? i have no idea why i would do that, i hate pepsi.’ he thanked her sincerely several times, and when she turned his back to him to return to her seat, he made frantic ‘kill’ motions across his throat to signal to us that the prank was off

he continued to lament the heat for the rest of his act, eventually lost the jacket and drank the gifted pepsi, grimacing cartoonishly every time. at the very end of the night he thanked us for being a great audience, thanked the woman in particular for her kindness, and triumphantly said ‘BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY IN MILWAUKEE!!!’ and 1 very generous women was hopelessly confused when 1299 people shouted ‘GIMME SOME PANCAKES!!!!!’
