Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

Arthur having a middle age crisis, and Merlin is just Merlin

I had a vision

#Arthur isn't middle aged though #he's probably a jock experimenting with his style #and Merlin thought that he looks silly and a bit out of place #leon the long suffering #he works for uther and looks after his friend like his big brother #Mordred knows everyone and everything #nobody knows how but it's quite helpful #bbc merlin #merlin #merthur #merthur au #arthur pendragon #merlin emrys #mordred #sir leon #so basically i just wanted to draw these emo guys lets be honest

In the mortis cousin au do they just like hang out on coruscant with Anakin? How to their neighbors react to them being literal gods?

they do hang out w him and off Mortis they can still be like, 8ft tall in human form but for the sake of this AU and The Bit, their beastie form is super tiny so they CAN be stealthy, which means they can do this:

(commission info // tip jar!)

#this is basically a fix-it au where theyre both yapping to him constantly and anakin just does something in the middle of both #unless the son says to prank obi wan or something then he'll do it #mortis cousins au #anakin skywalker #the son #the daughter #mortis arc #mortis #mortis gods #my doods #thanks for the ask!#askbox closed

My less popular opinion (and what I believe to be implied by the art in Lost Days) is that rather than waking up in a fully grown body Jason didn’t actually complete his puberty until after his Lazarus pit dip while he was on his murder tour. Imagine you’re tied up in a basement in Berlin getting interrogated by a teenager and his voice is cracking the entire time and if you laugh he’s going to shoot you

#Late puberty Jason truthers rise #Egon calling up Talia like ‘did you send me a middle schooler what is this’. ‘He’s technically high school aged actually’#he would’ve been like 18 when he finally regained consciousness but the way he’s drawn could easily be mistaken for 15 #I know people love the body dysmorphia angst of Jason waking up big but I offer you this: Jason wakes up looking basically the same to a #world that has moved on without him and is unrecognizable. His death/injuries stunted him he existed for years in a state of suspension #while the world passed him by. He was on pause while everyone kept moving on and he didn’t get unpaused until the Lazarus pit and he has #to scramble to catch up. He’s actually 18 but the last thing he remembers is being 15 and his body reflects this state #and then once his mind is finally back online puberty hits him like a truck. Just look at the difference between how Jason is drawn #immediately after his dip in the Lazarus pit vs the end of lost days when his training arc is over #It implies it could’ve been multiple years but in order to fit with the timeline of other comics I personally don’t think it #would’ve been that long. I think he just sprouted up like a weed #Jason Todd #dc #I think Jason is technically still growing by the time he’s red hood. In my personal mindscape he doesn’t reach his peak buffness/height #he’s like 21 and he’s 19 in utrh #Sorry for my 1538283th post about red hood lost days I’m obsessed with his little fucked up coming of age story #Red hood lost days

Who wants a bit of Minecraft spec bio?

In my headcanon for Minecraft the majority of mobs share a very recent common ancestor with a slime-mold adjacent organism called the "root node," meaning most mobs (villagers, illagers, skeletons, zombies, mooshrooms, others) are fungoid/plantoid-appearing creatures.

Villagers are among the most complex of them all, boasting an intricate method of expression through extendable facial "petals" (thin, mostly transparent membranes) that shift in color, pattern, and intensity to express a vast and dynamic field of emotions. The protrusions on their head resembling eyebrows and a nose light up in patterns to convey information. Conversation is occasionally emphasized by vocal cues (the iconic "hrms").

While impossible to translate standard villager conversation into something intelligible to humans without advanced technology, Steve is the most "fluent in villager," with a baseline understanding of what different colors mean on a villager's petals and even dyed paper cards to replicate the expressions himself. He also has established a rudimentary sign language with the nearby village.

Steve works with a certain villager he's nicknamed The Language Guy, or "TLG," to propose new signs or revise existing ones. TLG distributes language updates to the village when they happen. TLG is the most "fluent in human," so they are the village's Steve equivalent when it comes to diplomacy with humans. They are also working on writing a book with every established sign and its definition. Since villagers don't have a written language yet, it consists of easily interpreted pictograms.

Humans and villagers have rather shallow avenues of communication due to their complete lack of intuition about each other's natures. However, due to their frequent interactions, TLG and Steve are very close friends for creatures with a compatibility gap bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Alex would really like to learn about all of this, but she's not quite got the hang of it yet.

Golden Cheese Cookie was probably the person who was like, "Ugh. Why would my friends choose to have a sniffling, screaming baby to take care of?" and then adopt Burnt Cheese like a week later and get annoyed at anyone who called her out bcuz, "My baby is different."

#she isn't mean to kids #she's nice and will indulge in their interests and stuff #but in private she's like “Idk why you chose to have that around all day”#she's basically the cool childless aunt #except she failed at the childless part bcuz she adopted a child #granted if I saw a random ass kid in the middle of the desert with no family in sight i'd take it in top #golden cheese cookie #burnt cheese cookie #crk #cr kingdom #cookie run kingdom #cookie run

Sincerely love getting "The drinking isn't the problem, it's a symptom." and "It's not the drinking that worries me, it's that you're hiding it in your coffee cup." Love when shows let characters see basic nuance and be understated about it.

#leverage #To be clear this is not a dig at any other show specifically #I just caught myself thinking 'oh they handle this well' and then realizing what a low bar that is in my head #also I forgot how extra goofy the middle of season 2 got #and it felt like a bit much before I realized they're demonstrating that when he's sober Nate and the team can pull off jobs #that are basically goddamn cartoons #Nate Ford #Maggie Collins #Eliot Spenser

I was just wondering, if you’ve never showed them before, is there any chance we could see your collection of Transformers figures? As a collector myself, I love seeing which ones other people have, and I’m sure others would as well.

Oh yeah I have a bunch of them to show:D

(Although..I am quite bad at photography so lemme just throw together a bunch of older pics instead of making a new one)
