there is no seating configuration in the pig for early series trc that doesn’t make me giggle. like, obviously gansey is the one driving, but the vibes of the car change DRASTICALLY depending on who is where.

if adam’s the passenger princess (which. ofc he is) then blue is trapped in the back with ronan & noah, and those two are constantly on the verge of doing something drastic and dangerous. which leaves her with the choice of enabling them and possibly derailing the entire car ride or trying to stop them and having to deal with an angry and determined ronan lynch all the while gansey and adam are old married couple-ing in the front treating the other two boys like their rambunctious, no good children.

the other best option for passenger is blue, but then noah HAS to go in between ronan and adam or else the two of them will start fighting and then maybe try to kill each other with their weird homoerotic rivalry permeating the entire car to the point i think even gansey would be uncomfortable.

you say, vi, why can’t ronan go in the front? and i say, if you’ve ever tried to isolate the problem child by putting them up front, they just become your problem. ronan in the front is putting his feet up on the dash, he’s throwing shit out of the windows, he’s leaning his seat all the way back to crush whoever was unlucky enough to get stuck behind him (it’s assuredly blue). he’s fucking with the radio channels, he’s turning the volume up all the way on the worst song you’ve ever heard in your entire life.

so we put noah in the front. then the backseat becomes a warzone. if you thought ronan vs. adam with noah in the middle was bad, NOW it’s ronan vs. adam vs. BLUE. gansey is an exhausted mother of three, and noah is no help at all.

the pig is really just a bright orange social experiment, i applaud her

"Florida native Neill Holland became a charter captain at age 18. In 2015, after traveling internationally for a decade, he returned to St. Petersburg, Florida, to resume his fishing charter operation with his partner Danielle Dawley. 

Time and again on their charters, Dawley and Holland came across derelict traps, also known as ghost traps. 

Ghost traps are fishing traps that have been swept away in storms and currents or simply abandoned over time. 

Once lost, these rusted traps often pose risks to coral reefs below and passing boats above — all while trapping and killing marine life that die long before they are pulled to the surface. 

Those decaying fish, in turn, attract more sea animals into the trap, starting the cycle anew.

After ghost traps continued cropping up in their day-to-day, Dawley and Holland founded Ocean Aid 360: a conservation organization that works with fishing industry professionals, community volunteers, and government agencies to find, retrieve, and recycle marine debris — including ghost traps.

Their most popular program? Ghost trap rodeos: fishing tournaments that reward entrants for salvaging abandoned fishing gear.

“We started in October of 2018 through a grant from NOAA, which enabled us to hold seven tournament-style marine debris events around Tampa Bay,” Holland told the Port Charlotte Sun in mid-July. 

“In that first year, our target was 15,000 pounds of marine debris. We ended up collecting 27,000 pounds, and had fabulous numbers of community members coming out to participate,” he said. 

“Since then, we’ve worked all over Florida and the Bahamas, with more than 60 event days and about 60,000 pounds of marine debris collected — including more than 8,200 derelict traps.”

The latest ghost trap rodeo — hosted on July 19 — pulled in 4,000 pounds of trash, including 128 ‘ghost traps,’ from the Tampa Bay. 

Two minutes into the event, Holland was already reeling in a ghost trap. 

“This is a textbook example of a derelict crab trap,” Holland told the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s been left out, and as you can see it’s pretty darn crusty and rusted.”

Holland estimates that 10% of all traps placed in the water become ghost traps.

“It’s a recurring problem here, and we really have to stay on top of it,” said Peter Clark, the president and founder of Tampa Bay Watch —  one of many local organizations that helped host the ghost trap rodeo competition.

“We’re helping to protect fish and wildlife, we’re taking marine debris out of the bay, and it’s a great project to get the community involved to help restore and protect Tampa Bay.”

It's still staggering to me that not only did the 75-79 category not exist until our last two presidents, but neither did the 70-74 one.

I think we forget, at time of inauguration, Trump was the oldest person elected President, then Biden beat that 4 year old record in 2021. Then Trump beat that record this year. Reagan had been the oldest, just short of his 70th birthday in 1980.

The next oldest before that died a year into his first term.

Trump in 2017 was 3 years older than George Washington. Not when Washington took office (which he did at age 57), but when he died at age 67. Trump in 2017 was older than 20 Presidents' lifetimes. Biden older than 25. Trump in 2025 is older than Eisenhower at time of death.

Bill Clinton has been out of office for almost 25 years and he's 2 months younger than Trump.

Maybe that's why it feels like time has just not been progressing, because we can't escape these old fucks who refuse to let go of power at everyone else's expense.

YouTube is implementing an AI policy that tracks your watch history and determines your age with it. The only way to be able to continue watching the videos you want on YouTube if you've been falsley flagged as a minor by their AI is to give YouTube your government ID. This is being implemented in the US right now. It is essential to rage against this and put YouTube in the fucking ground if they continue with it—that may be the only way to make them backtrack. But damn isn't that hard to do when responding to this announcement with a polite but negative comment flags you for violating community guidelines and bans you from even posting it?

Eating uninspected food is going to crush supermarkets when food poisoning and E. coli start wiping out brands.

Lawsuits for selling tainted food.

This will kill people. This will not save money or end waste or stop fraud.

Republicans are sadistic bastards.
