one of my dad’s old doctor friends recently found out he’s got two X chromosomes

he’s taken it in stride and it’s just a fun fact he brings up but it’s killing me that he’s too old and offline for me to send him the ‘gee Billy’ meme

NO. PRINT IT OUT.

he’s a doctor so if I show it to him he’ll just be like “well actually research shows that people with kleinfelter syndrome are equally likely to have inherited their extra X chromosome from either their mother or their father” and then talk cheerfully about chromosomes for an hour without laughing

So he'll love it is what you're saying?

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP

THE NEW EP OF EVOLUTIONS IS THE FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS THAT A KADABRA HAS APPEARED IN THE ANIME (DO THE URI GELLER LAWSUIT). MY BOY IS FINALLY FREE FROM THE SHADOW REALM

I’ll explain what the lawsuit is about for those confused. In 2000, famous British magician Uri Geller sued Nintendo for 60 million pounds (80 million USD) over the Abra line. More specifically, he claimed the Pokemon company were ripping him off with Kadabra. Yuri claimed Kadabra’s Japanaese name Yungera (ユンゲラー ) was based off of his name, and Kadabra bending spoons was a reference to an act Uri often did. Even though bending spoons is a fairly common trope with psychic characters, Uri didn’t realize that and claimed the Pokemon company “stole my identity.” While Uri never got any money from the lawsuit, to avoid any legal action, Pokemon stopped publishing the Abra line in the TCG and from appearing in the anime in 2003.

In 2020, Uri wrote a tweet apologizing to the Pokemon Company and for the grudge he held for all these years. He gave the company permission to use the Abra line in the TCG and anime again.

Long story short: British man got butt hurt over a cartoon psychic goat creature and it took him 20 years to realize how stupid that was.

OMG everyone I know the ACTUAL story behind the gif this time! Yes, it’s in Australia– that’s a big angry goanna that wandered into a popular restaurant. All the Australians in the vicinity went OH FUCK NO and cleared off, because goannas are mean. The waitress you see there is a French exchange student, who was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I thought it was a weird ugly dog” and had no idea it was a reptile that wanted to rip her arms off. She’s been hailed as a hero who saved diners.

It’s amazing what power “not knowing” has.

The thing I especially love about this is this is a pretty dangerous animal, except she managed to defeat it by just fucking grabbing it by the tail and walking too quickly for it to turn around. Once again the animal kingdom is thwarted because we evolved opposable thumbs, long limbs, and reckless bravery.

weird, ugly dog thwarted by foreign exchange student and polished floors 

my take-home lesson here is that nobody in france has ever first-hand seen a dog

no no, french dogs just be like that

the comments on this get better and better every time it comes across my dash

This video got posted on Reddit a while back, and when I identified the lizard as a goanna, I got THIS delicious response from a dudebro:

part of transmisogyny is the treatment of trans women as "broken" women in the sense that we are functionally women who cannot fulfill the (subservient) role that is prescribed for women, and one aspect of this is an inability to get pregnant. we are not shielded from any part of misogynistic structures built upon reproduction but rather these structures are used to punish us precisely because we fail to adhere to the role that has been assigned to women. this is obvious to me but it's a necessary realisation for many feminists if they want to ever move beyond lip service to trans inclusivity. womanhood is an ideal role subservient to the patriarchal system but FAILING to adhere to it, especially in ways that concern fundamental aspects of how gender is constructed, gets you punished even more harshly.

Huge pet peeve in video games is when you can’t hold your breath underwater for very long or it takes a good while to regain your breath above water. Unrealistic. Like my condolences to the devs for your lack of breath support but that just could not be me…
