throwback to the time I got really annoyed at the funko pop men who were coming into my store and bothering me during the pandemic so I made a bunch of memes and fake tweets
you can’t do this shit to me for a second i thought i had missed something important
free my girl she did all that shit but the fandom is mischaracterizing her for it
free my girl she has the same character traits as a male character but is getting deemed a bitch for them
free my girl she acted irrationally in a situation where it was impossible to act rationally and is now being hated for it
Oh he thinks he's so funny
vinny is an ipad baby but for like cups
his shows
A Willy Wonka pop-up event in Glasgow had attendees calling the police after they paid £35 and the event didn’t deliver what was promised.
Event goers were promised a whimsical adventure all themed around something Willy Wonka might create in his factory.
The keen-eyed amongst you might have noticed something a little bit…wrong.
Imagnation Lab. Encherining Entertainment. Catgacating. Live perforrmances. Cartchy tunes. Exarserdray lollipops. And my favourite “A pasadise of sweets teats”
But what did the event actually look like? WELL.
Feel like the marketing team got a bit carried away.
so because i don’t feel like doing my job today, i started looking deeper into this and i am obsessed
i know that the “any resemblance is coincidental” spiel is a typical legal disclaimer, but it’s definitely a bold claim for this company to make when they previously marketed this event as being specifically wonka-themed
it makes sense that they wouldn’t know how trademarks work, though (neither of these are trademarked)
let’s take a look at the “house of illuminati”’s website…
hm, there’s no reference to any knock-off harry potter events on their website. let’s google lens that crusty jpeg
somehow i doubt this real event in florida is related
but what events DO they put on?
no specifics, a lot of vague catchy wording, coupled with AI art. great sign.
no i will not “imagine a secrete of clamdiciret luxury” in any of your undisclosed locations, thank you
there’s way more to unpack but mobile has a 10-picture limit, stay tuned
sorry for the poor visibility on some of these screenshots, my phone is also refusing to allow me to alt-text or copy-paste anything into the post, so that will have to wait till i get home. but let’s continue:
every picture on their website (with seemingly one exception) is either stolen or AI-generated (aka stolen with extra steps)
this is the only one that…….wait.
that’s an awful lot of glasses for a table setting. yeah, this one’s almost certainly AI, too.
using a shitty picture stolen from a licensed halloween costume listing to advertise is also very funny
(their mobile website is also a pain in the ass to navigate and read)
several of their blog posts (all of which they bulk posted in batches on December 4th, 12th, and 16th of 2023) also have this placeholder text at the bottom:
kinda hard to show pictures of an event in progress when you haven’t hosted any events
“this event is gonna be terrible for your shitty toddlers. please bring them.”
their shitty AI art promo pics in all their glory
someone help these poor people morphing into instruments :(
“ok yes it sucked and i’m sorry but you cannot deny we put on an event. an event happened. that counts for something”
ah of course, if only the holographic paper had arrived on time. that would’ve fixed everything
this cardboard sign might be the company’s only original asset

jack had absolutely no right to go this hard
um excuse me Jack not only may but must go this hard
I love the moment where the band is like “oh, yeah, let’s pick this up!”
Everything he does is joy

Confession of a grieving Palestinian, forever away from home.
(For the record, hopelessness does not mean giving up. When you feel like you can do so little, just do what you can. Donate. Protest. Scream the truth.)
i think if bruce saw clark deliver this line it would awaken shrimp emotions in him
It took me a moment to process what is happening, bloody hell.
When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.
Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.
What do we expect to happen?
Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.
It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.
I know I’ll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).
I just wish it weren’t so damn frustrating, feeling like you’re screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.
CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. That’s fucking momentous.
I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldn’t have known it happened if I didn’t read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didn’t it?
Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architecture…there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. I’m sure I’ll see a headline in a year, “Biden’s lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.”
Republicans want 20 foot concrete barriers topped with barbed wire across the entire southern border, and Democrats want amnesty and ease to citizenship for just about anyone who crosses, and it really seems like until a compromise is made somewhere in there, Republicans will continue to turn out in massive numbers to elections because God told them to, and Democrats will continue to stay home because the last president didn’t accomplish 100% of their goals and voting for an imperfect president is a personal and ethical failing.
Now take that mentality and spread it over every single social and economic issue.
I remember how utterly scared and angry we were sone years ago when Trump was trying to bankrupt the USPS. People were talking about it left right and sideways, asking people to buy from the USPS gift shop, start a stamp collection, anything. Then, Biden got elected and put a huge stop to that by getting rid of the unfair laws that only the USPS had to abide by. Overnight, the USPS was saved, and how did everyone react?
They didn't. It was hardly mentioned. Not a blip.
Same exact thing when it came to net neutrality!! It was DEVASTATING when it was killed. People died in wildfires because Internet providers throttled data of firefighters. Xfinity actually stole identities in order to make it happen.
About a month ago, BAM, it was restored because Biden appointed a Democratic leader to the FFC. Did anyone talk about it? Nope. I saw ONE post.
okay, so as much as I think that Biden was the least shitty of two garbage presidential candidates, and as much as I disagree with some of the things he’s done… …I have to admit that the Biden-Harris administration has done more for the average American’s life than any other I can remember in the last 20-30 years. even with a congress made up of majority spoiled toddlers who would rather kill a man than vote “yes” to save a hundred thousand, they have:
Not only that but:
I’m not going to say I agree with every action taken under the Biden-Harris admin (lol, looking at you specifically, IRS), but. These things change people’s lives. Not just a little - they are the difference between literally dying a slow death from lack of medication and living happily. Between getting heart surgery and NOT getting heart surgery, because you don’t have health insurance, because you just got out of prison for having one (1) molecule of weed stuck to your sleeve during a traffic stop. Election season is already starting, so if you have to remember one thing, remember this:
Adding to this list, the Biden-Harris administration has also:
And honestly, this administration has done so much more that I don’t have time to list - with wide-ranging effects that won’t be fully felt for another few years, but are MONUMENTAL for our country, our healthcare, our environment, our jobs, and our futures.
YOUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL IF:
I was unprepared.
happy birthday gromit
it’s february 12th happy birthday gromit!!
@transwiththeplans hi! I’m not sure if you’re ever gonna see this, but I just wanted to say I really loved your fanfic! It was such a fun read.
I ended up drawing them against my will so they’re my new favourites now
All-Out Attack | Persona 3 Reload
“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.
How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?
Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.
Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.
