Video Description:

Man in an office is holding a stunt safe foam rubber cinder block:  This is a prop foam rubber cinder block, that way we can smack an actor with it, and it won’t kill him.  [man throws the prop at his coworker’s head].  But if it DID kill him, I’d still get off scot-free

Coworker [off-screen]:  How would you do that, Scott?

Scott:  Because there’d be no concrete evidence.

Coworker: [throws foam rubber cinder-block at Scott’s head]

please note that for both impacts someone did foley work to make the foam brick go 'bang!'

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.

Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.

Part 2 of Gender Recognition is stupid and arbitrary.

(I’m he/they/ze)

So, this blew up on TikTok and you would not believe (I’m being sarcastic) the amount of people trying to tell me I’m fat, ugly, and mentally ill. I’ve got people claiming I’m “pumping myself full of synthetic chemicals” (I’m pre- T), people claiming my voice “gives it away” (I’m Deaf), several people telling me either to kill myself or that seeing this has made them want to kill themselves, and that my hands and “way of talking” prove I’m a woman (I studied theatre and I’m autistic).

It’s very interesting. Who’s more a threat to society? Me or the people threatening violence?

the fandoms in the quote tweets.

in every workplace there should be a secret button you can press and if everyone presses it the workweek immediately ends and you can go outside and play instead of sending email

ok i made this post and this afternoon our server locked us out and i spent the rest of the day shooting the shit with my coworkers outside in perfect spring weather. i do believe in magic but mostly i believe in the secret button

Actually, I want to do a study of regret rates for Harry Potter-themed tattoos versus regret rates for gender confirmation surgeries, because my naive suspicion is that the former are considerably higher at this point.

Did some digging and turns out its lower than having *any* tattoo...

Let’s hear for a woman who had to spend many years hiding that she lended her voice to a doll that has spend the last 60 years inspiring young girls.

her name is chris anthony lansdowne! dont worry, op didnt omit her name, tumblr formatting just makes it so that its cut from the photoset!

it's berry season here. i've eaten so many berries. i have a 5 pound box of blueberries next to me now.

berry time

Whatcha got there?

NOT FOR BEAR!!!

RUDE

This pride month y’all have got to offset your doomposting with some gay fun you’ve had. And if you haven’t had any gay fun then you need to stop doomposting and work on that. I know we’re descending into fascism and there’s always kink at pride discourse and threats of violence and actual violence and hollow corporate allyship. But I only have so much room for that in my brain. I want to hear about the party you went to or the guy you met at the bar or the girl who strapped you within an inch of your life or hell the new clothes you bought. I as a gay person on the gay people website should NOT have to dread the gay month

"Waaaaaah I liked this post until you used the *q slur* why did you have to go an ruin this post by using the *q slur* in it?"

Oh, that's easy. See, I put the word queer in all my queer posts because I specifically don't want to *people like this* to like my posts. Hope this helps.

“The store, which was parked next to a police van, had bright yellow sandwich boards featuring a price list for all the drugs, which ranged from $10 for a point (one-tenth of a gram) of meth to $250 for 2.5 grams of crack. Martin, who wore a stab-proof vest as he sold drugs from behind a plexiglas window inside the shop, said he wanted to stay close to street prices.

Martin told VICE News Wednesday that his plan was to get arrested eventually. He said he wants to launch a constitutional challenge arguing that prohibition has created a toxic drug supply that’s killing Canadians.

“He would allege that laws that prevent a safe supply and result in death by poisoning contravene section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and must be struck down,” his lawyer, Paul Lewin, wrote in a letter to Martin’s potential business partners.

Martin already has a cannabis trafficking conviction.

Martin said he was partially inspired to open the store by his stepbrother Gord Rennie, who died of a drug overdose last year. Rennie was interviewed in the VICE News Tonight documentary, Beyond Fentanyl, about his addiction to benzo dope.”

Fuego!!!

Wiiiiii

This would be great for older, disabled, and some wheelchair persons for emergency evacuation of tall buildings!

They’re all together and I’m gonna lose it 🥺

BREAKING NEWS: Rolling Stone drops bombshell on Trump, reveals that he has been demanding that his “close advisors” find out the “names of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who have worked on the federal probes into him” so that he can retaliate against them by “immediately purging the FBI and Justice Department’s ranks” of each and every single investigator who has investigated his deadly insurrection, Big Lie, and theft of highly classified documents.

But it gets worse.

Rolling Stone continues, “Separately, the twice-impeached former president has been saying for many months that on “day one” of his potential second term, he wants FBI director Christopher Wray “out” of the bureau” because he has refused to “purge the FBI of non-Trump loyalists.” Rolling Stone continues, reporting that, “During some of the conversations this year, including at Trump’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago, some of Trump’s close political allies told him that they are working on figuring out the identities of the FBI and DOJ staff and forming lists.”

This should strike fear in the heart of every single American, who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.

How the position of Staff Writer has gotten completely fucked up in the past several years:

[image id: 25 May tweet thread by Jeffrey Lieber @/Jeff Lieber.

"hTe royal !#!@#!ing of the lower-level writer. So, in ye olde times, standard practice was that a STAFF WRITER had to stay a STAFF WRITER (least pay, zero compensation for scripts) for 22 episodes, which was fine because 22 episodes = 1 season. This meant...

...if you were skilled/lucky enough to get staffed AND the show got picked up for the full S1, a writer only had to spend 1 calendar year on the bottom of the economic totem pole. Then seasons got shorter, first 18 episodes, then 13 and yet the arbitrary 22 episode...

...threshold DIDN'T CHANGE. Suddenly 1 calendar year, turned into 18 or 24 months and meant that the show the STAFF WRITER was on not only had to get a full Season 1, but ALSO a S2 and then a S3. And THEN came cable and streaming...

...where 13 episodes became 10 or 8 or 6 and the time between seasons got longer, such that getting 22 episodes at STAFF WRITER could take 3-5 years, (assuming your cable/streaming show LASTED that long, which mostly it didn't) or you could stay continuously employed...

...by hopping between shows (yeah, right). Surviving 5 years with a Staff Writer's salary on a 6-13 episode order in Los Angeles is impossible, unless you are being subsidized by family...or the state. To succeed & still suffer? No. And this is why we strike.

Overtime: all the above intersects with the current work action, because it is the outcome of lowering the percentage of the budget allocated to writers, resulting in wage stagnation and smaller staffs. Shorter: profits and revenues are up, salaries and opportunities down." end ID.]

Sound ON!!
