This is how it's done:

And this is how you homage it:

Literally less than a year ago we were adding cool spins to it like “Sliding Up Tokyo Tower” how did we downgrade so hard?

We even got live action slide

The slide in the first post bothers the fuck out of me because he’s using his right leg to slide on the ground.

So, I ride a motorcycle and I know at least the theory of doing a power slide (still cool but you don’t slide nearly so much and you need a pretty light bike to do it most of the time). You have to lock the back wheel until your back wheel looses grip on the road and then turn sharply to the left. Rear wheel slides and the front wheel turns.

But how do you lock the back wheel you might ask? Well with your rear break of course.

WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY UNDER YOUR RIGHT FOOT! How the FUCK is he locking the back wheel, with his shifter on his left foot??? Not possible. The creators of Akira knew it, and so did everyone that homaged it. The post above gets it right even if he’s likely on a slider and being pulled back.

This is why I love tumblr. Where else could I find gifs of back to back tribute references and a perfect explanation of why the above doesn't work and how you would need to do everything to ideally execute to move in question? Thank you for explaining, fellow tumblr friend.

My city is teaming with ICE. I don’t want to write too much about it online so I’m asking you to trust me.

In my city, the ICE agents are always in plainclothes-sunglasses and hoodies up. They arrive in unmarked cars and always as a surprise attack. It’s eerie and unsettling. Here is an example of the cars used by ICE agents on Friday. These cars were verified by community advocates.

If you are in Massachusetts and think you see ICE in your neighborhood, contact LUCE. They will send out US Citizens out into the community to verify reports. We all have to help each other because shit is dark.

Little black squash balls, Walter. This lab is where you will create little black squash balls.

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

reblog if you're an actual person IRL who gets genuinely upset if you catch someone using ChatGPT and view it as a serious moral failing

SQUADALA, we are off!

TOASTERS TOASTING overload

EVERYBODY PIIIIIIIIINGAAAAAAS

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

the world is so neutered it genuinely makes me soooo angry. you can't access any porn web sites in america without providing a selfie and your legal ID. if you save one photo of a shirtless guy to a pinterest board not only will pinterest disable pin recommendations for that board based on their "decency" algorithm, they will notify you that your board violates their policy. this website (and a few others) won't let you search any nsfw terms or even vaguely naughty words without censoring it for you and saying "this search looked sexy so we've prevented you from seeing results!" like what the fuck are we doing? i'm a 28 year old person. i'm an adult. i've seen naked people. i've had sex. if i want to look at some porn i should be able to do that. if i want to see erotic imagery online then i should be able to do that. what are these websites trying to protect me from? what are these websites trying to stop me from seeing or feeling or learning? why don't i get to decide what i see or feel or learn?

damn terfs aren't even hiding their racism anymore

Radfem: "We are not white supremacist! Why did y'all keep calling us racist!" Also radfem

Remembering how controversial it was to state that terfs were white supremacists a decade ago. Between the Australian my little Pony blogger Celestia openly coverting to white nationalism and this, feels like we were too soft in those condemnations in the past.

The trans community is crucifying me for being anti-smoking

Serioualy though, cigarettes are all downsides with little upside, as someone who used to smoke it really never is worth it. There are easier and better ways to look cool. There are better ways to manage stress. There are better ways to wake yourself up. It's just not worth it!

and i don't say this to shame smokers, like i get it, half my irl friends smoke and so did i, quitting is really fucking hard, i know how it is. moreso this is for a lot of the younger girls who might not be doing well and think a pack of cigarettes might help. they might make you feel better, but it really, really isn't worth it. if you don't smoke and are offered the choice, i wont tell you what to do, but i really think you shouldn't. it's not worth it

Anyone else getting really fucking sick of this support:condemn dichotomy where folks online act like the only two possible responses to anything ever are to wholeheartedly support it or wholeheartedly condemn it?

"Oh you said that you dont think that random stranger should be sent full on death threats and doxxed for their iffy artwork? Why do you support racism" how about we all go outside and interact with real people and see how they react when you say things like that!

"I dont think you should full on ruin this persons life and all their chances of existing online forever over something that could very well be a shitty mistake that can be corrected" seems to be a real hot take among the same crowd who claims to support prison abolition
