basically, cops only need to protect property and serve property owners, not the people

What was the point in animal planet airing those incredibly convincing fake documentaries about dragons and mermaids
If the aim was to convince incredibly gullible children that they were real it worked on me
I distinctly remember watching these and being like why is no one talking about this this is INSANE and then my mom had to explain that it’s fake
Sorry for believing animal planet. The channel that tells me facts about animals 99.9% of the time
To be completely fair to the dragon show:
- It was titled Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real in North America
- There's a big disclaimer at the start of the program that it's all fake
- The narration calls them "the most incredible animals that never existed"
- Most of it takes place in the distant past (there is a long segment of footage that takes place in the Cretaceous) and would have needed to be faked for the show anyways
- There was an attached making-of program that showed how they made it all up, as well as a promotional magazine (which I own a copy of) that also shows how they made it all up
- Pretty sure the website back in the day also included info about how they made it all up
- The credits clearly list the VFX team and creature designers (one of whom was John Sibbick!), as well as who the actors were during the live-action segments
- The back of the DVD makes it clear: "[Dragons] never existed in real life. But what if they had?"
The mermaid show was not this open about its true nature.

every browser except firefox runs on chromium. they are just chrome reskins. firefox is the only good browser. install firefox
- How to install Firefox
- How to import data from a different browser to Firefox
- How to install Extensions
- Link to Ublock Origin Extension
Firefox does a ton of cool shit but just out of the box, fresh install it does less tracking and dataharvesting than Chrome (in that it does essentially none while chrome's goal is to crawl all the way into your asshole and monetize the data of the unique features of your intestinal lining) and does not contribute to the chromium near-monopoly (Firefox and Safari are the only non-chromium browsers with any notable market share).
Also you know how Adobe fucking sucks and is really annoying and it's frustrating to have to use their PDF reader? Firefox now comes with a built-in PDF reader AND editor. Check this shit out:
Firefox also has a feature called Multi Account Containers that allows you to log in to accounts in different containers so that you don't have to open up an incognito window or log out of various services to use a different account. For instance, I have my Work container and my School container and I can log in to office 365 in either one of them without having to log out of the other, or I can have seven tabs logged in to seven different tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, separate accounts) in the same window if I want to do that for any reason.
Also fuck google.
Just saw a tweet like "REAL libraries check for quality!" as some kinda gotcha at AO3?? But I'm a librarian, so... heads up that "quality checks," AKA "weeding" or "pulling," means looking for damaged books or ones that haven't circulated in a few years to clear up shelf space. We don't Quality Check for if the library books have nontoxic romance or good grammar. :U I assure you every library in your area has absolute ABOMINATIONS of bad storytelling as well as your favorite pop lit.

Today I volunteered teaching people about bees/beekeeping at the community garden I’m a part of, and my favorite local bakery had a booth set up there too. I went over to say hi (im a regular customer) and promised i would buy a loaf of bread later but I had to go keep tabs on the bee booth for a bit, and the baker said “oh! I have something for you then!” and pulled out this BEAUTIFUL LOAF WITH A BEE ON IT and gave it to me 🥺🥺🥺 i almost cried its so wonderful i love my community and i love bees and i love bread
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
