Do kids today even understand why podcasts are called podcasts?
Well, you see, kids, almost twenty years ago Apple produced a portable audio player called – wait, I need to go back further.
Okay, so in the 20th century, the new inventions of radio and television were known as broadcast media – no, wait, that’s not really the start either –
Broadcasting originally refers to throwing, or casting, handfuls of seeds onto prepared ground, typically used with grain crops, which, uh –
– the Agrucultural Revoution, which begain circa 10,000 BC in the Levant, was when humans began preserving seeds for replanting –
When you go back far enough you start to realize that the story of Noah is an allegory for seed preservation…
i gotta admit i feel a little bad for the staff here because they have the interesting job of making a website work and make money while also marketing it to a userbase who are mostly looking for a website that sucks and doesnt work and does not make money
“Katharine Hepburn liked to shock with her boyish looks, strident voice, breeding, and, when she met people for the first time, her affection for purposely creating a bad impression. Rigid and repressed, the twenty-four year old, freckled-faced Connecticut Yankee always lived with women, mingled with sewing-circle members, and made Garbo and Katharine Cornell her icons. She was swimming naked in director George Cukor’s pool when she first met Garbo and, in printed versions of the encounter, grabbed a towel, curtsied, and solemnly said, ‘Oh, Miss Garbo, how nice to meet you!’ Hepburn was seen about town with her agent the dashing, successful Leland Hayward, but Hayward’s third wife, Margaret Sullavan, called Kate ‘that dykey bitch.’”

ALOK VAID-MENON Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness 1x03 (2022)
Alok’s book report of The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century by Dr. Kyla Schuller
Wanted to take some time out to appreciate the late Treat Williams, who recently died of having motorcycle money, for appearing in like two dozen of the most "We've got to finish this for tax purposes" movies you'll ever see. Guy is in some movies you can find Full on youtube because who is going to even bother filing a DCMA on The Substitute 3: Winner Takes All.
Guy was also great in The Phantom.
@thecardiganqueen Yeah sorry, I was too busy leafing through the wikipedia of the Substitute movies to focus. Yeah guy died yesterday, probably after saying "Watch this" to a woman 50 years younger than him.
Fun Treat Williams fact, he's apparently in The Empire Strikes Back.
"Well, Treat Williams decided he was going to come and hang out on the set, which he did, and he appeared in those ice planet scenes as one of the lieutenants or officers in the Rebel Forces. And I'm sure that there is no credit for him at all and he didn't have a character or anything, but he just said, 'Hey, this looks like a lotta fun and I'd kinda like to be a part of it, mind if I take a role of an extra?' Everybody said, 'Yeah!' So here you have this Hollywood star who just decided, for probably no salary, just to hang out for a few scenes and was quite happy with the role of an extra in Empire Strikes Back. And that was kinda the way it was." ―John Morton[3]
Since Treat Williams character doesn't have a name, I'm just going to come up with one. His name is Blabo Anasi, and he was born on Corellia. There, go forth and write some unreadable Star Wars fanfic about Blabo Anasi's duel with Boba Fett or whatever. WHo cares. Do it for Treat.
For inspiration.
Don’t blame the motorcycle rider. Car drivers love to ignore them. Someone turning left onto my dad destroyed our lives and it looks like that’s what happened here.
A sad girl can be more drawn to an emo aesthetic or a coquette aesthetic depending if her trauma comes from her mom or her dad.
The blue dart to post, really? Don’t copy Twitter, Twitter is bad and terrible
The Appendix: Transmasculine Joy in a Transphobic Culture - Liam Konemann
[Transcript: I reject the oft-spouted idea from anti-trans voices that transmasculine bodies are mutilated. I dreamt of this body, and I celebrate it, even if it hasn’t turned out exactly to my specifications. Trans bodies are often portrayed as sites of horror, trauma and dysphoria, or as examples of medical and scientific overreach. I prefer to think of trans bodies as sources of love and desire. We have partners, we date, we are intimate. I still feel gender euphoria when I place my palm flat in the centre of my chest, or when I catch the angle of my jaw in the mirror. There remains a femininity to my physicality that I wouldn’t trade, and I have been called both slinky and sprite-like by other men. This body feels ethereal. I had to pass through another realm to get it.]
guy who is not necessarily nonbinary but also not NOT nonbinary. guy who doesnt fit into the binary-nonbinary binary. if you will
"kids are so immature nowadays! they dont know how to be independent!" yeah man because the american economy is predicated on everything costing one thousand dollars or requiring a license to do literally anything that isnt sitting in your house. i grew up next to a trailhead, and that was a god damn BLESSING compared to the chopped and screwed suburb kids who have nothing but a vaguely generated pile of houses and mini malls next to them. we've BRED these motherfuckers to need their hands held 24/7 because they dont have the time money or responsibility until age like, 19 to do any of the things that make a person grow+think critically about their actions.
When I was eight-years-old, I would ride my bicycle two blocks through a gang infested neighborhood to by my mom cigarettes…
“Why aren’t kids tougher these days?” Because all parents suck, just in ways that rob free time from as many people possible anymore.
