BRENDAN FRASER accepts the award for ‘Best Actor’ at the 28th Critics Choice Awards (January 15, 2023)
my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.
obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.
i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!
So long gayboy Im boutta get it! [Walks down the stairs of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]

Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!
Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.
I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.
Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.
seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.
Does Firefox not count for anything?
about 10% and falling, but perhaps that can change, I just don’t see how.
Chrome edging towards 70% on desktop, Microsoft has thrown in the towel, Safari obviously rules iOS, Firefox exists only as insurance for Chrome.
Please, please I’m begging you, use firefox.
PLEASE install firefox as a mobile browser and then run adblock on your mobile browser it’s so good I promise.
Look.
Look.
I know I’m a total grind about open source stuff but browsers are the PERFECT place to learn to love open source software and for so long FireFox was a major part of the browser market and sometimes if you want to see what kind of fuckery google is up to it helps to see the kinds of things they block in firefox and just
There’s an organization that makes free, excellent, safe software that doesn’t collect and market your data but for some reason two thirds of the world uses a google product and most of the leftover population uses apple and just
I promise, firefox is so good - the extensions are incredible look - I can use lightbeam to see what sites I use and how they connect to other sites (bottom right should give you an idea how much time I spend on tumblr)
or I can look at ublock origin and see that it’s blocked over 2 million requests since I installed it or I can run the facebook container extension and stop facebook from tracking me and you know what I bet you can do a lot of that on chrome too but you’re doing that while chrome itself is tracking you and gobbling up your activity for google and
firefox is so fuckin great and it’s such a great ambassador for other open source projects please be a big old fuckin nerd with me and use firefox and run a bunch of funky extensions and customize the fuck out of your web experience.
FIREFOX.
I just love firefox okay.

Have you ever wondered how someone meets Santa? Well, you need to follow a very specific ritual to summon him.
Do you have any idea how long I’ve had this queued? Any idea? A year. A fucking year. I don’t even use my queue ever. Ever. This is the only thing I’ve EVER queued. I’ve had this queued for a year so I don’t forget it.

I was fine until the damn Imperial March started.

it makes me so so angry knowing how terribly buzzfeed treats their employees and knowing that they are most definitely way underpaying ryan and shane for the amount viewership they’ve brought in with unsolved and how they’re absolutely going to fuck them over and make it so that if they ever want to leave buzzfeed they can’t take any part of the unsolved brand with them and will have to start from scratch. It’s so frustrating to see this happening in real time because ryan created buzzfeed unsolved as his own series that he has personally put so much hard work into from the start and made sure to make a QUALITY show and that’s why it has become so popular. He does so much research and writing work and also stars and voices almost every episode and he’s put so much of himself into it from day 1 that unsolved truly could not and can not exist without ryan bergara. And that’s why it makes me so nervous to see how bf has tried to branch out the “unsolved” brand in a bunch of weird unrelated directions, the number one reason being to capitalize on the unsolved name to get more views on other videos, but also to tie unsolved to buzzfeed as a specifically buzzfeed property rather than ryan’s property. Keep in mind that the “buzzfeed unsolved network” was launched just mere WEEKS before the try guys launched their own independent channel after leaving buzzfeed. I know this sounds like a tinfoil hat thing and that there are bigger problems in the world but to me it’s just so grossly obvious that after the try guys left buzzfeed and were able to successfully buy their own brand from bf to be independent creators, and ended up taking a huge fanbase with them, buzzfeed wanted to make sure that NEVER happened again and so have started trying to make “unsolved” a bigger buzzfeed brand (like tasty) that ryan and shane could never possibly buy for themselves and go independent with. And it’s also just so embarrassing the type of lazy content they’ve added to the channel to branch out and make it a buzzfeed brand. Like, look at this shit
almost everything on the unsolved network channel other than buzzfeed unsolved is clearly quickly-made, clickbait content with no other goals than getting more views and subscribers for the channel. They’ve also started posting stuff that is way more exploitative than anything that’s ever been on buzzfeed unsolved and is just trying to piggyback off the general popularity of the “conspiracy theory” genre and weird serial killer fandom stuff on youtube
anyway i know this is a long rant with 0 purpose other to say fuck buzzfeed and i just really hope ryan and shane are able to leave one day and take the really cool series they’ve created with them
They did leave!! Theyre starting their own youtube series and company!!
Spread the word, fuck buzzfeed, get these guys the viewership they deserve
I don’t use this but might be for someone out there who does, check it out?

It’s a good metaphor tho, because the situation is never going to get better if you don’t eventually pull the door. And afterwards, no matter what the damage was, you’ll have a working cabinet, whatever plates you could salvage, and a place to start putting new plates.

Reblogging for that comment ^
Hats off for negative jokes turned to wholesome posts

So this was me for a long time. Afraid to open the door, certain that all that I was would crash and break. That I could never be repaired.
But I opened the door.
And what fell out and crashed to the ground was not me. They weren’t my dishes.
They were other people’s dishes.
Put inside we without my permission, when I was too young to know that I could not hold them all.
I opened the door, and I’m still here.
It turns out, I’m not that fragile.
Oh damn it got better

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?
It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote
It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"
And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…
The poor cried,
"We are starving. There is no more bread, and we have nothing to eat."
The rich man said,
"Not my problem you don't work for your bread,"
as if he did not snatch away the grain by his own greedy hands and create filling bread for his own overflowing mouth.
The poor cried,
"We are dying. There is no more medicine, and we're all ill."
The rich man said,
"Not my problem you don't take care of yourselves,"
as if he did not buy all the medicine and raise prices so high
the gods themselves would not
be able to reach.
The poor people
stopped crying,
and the rich man was satisfied...
Until they came knocking at his door one night;
their faces were sunken,
their flesh decaying,
their eyes sightless.
They were monsters
of the rich man's
own making.
As they devoured his flesh,
the rich man cried,
"Please, spare me!"
The ravenous zombies said,
"Not our fault
you fattened yourself
for slaughter."
