it is basically the stated position of the us government and us mainstream media that the lives of palestinians are not worth as much as the lives of israelis and literally everything they say is based on this premise as if thats normal its so fucking twisted

Cynics will go "social animals are still selfish, the only reason that people love each other is out of instinct to survive" and don't consider how amazing it is that the reason that humanity survives is out of the instinct to love each other.

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

This behind the scenes picture is really funny to me because Tim Russ is in costume/makeup, but Robert Picardo isn't, so it just looks like Tuvok is judging the changes the doctor had made to his fashion program.

Happy Tuvok Tuesday!

thinking about voyager inside jokes. I went on a backpacking trip for five days years ago and by the time we left the trail we had essentially invented a new dialect composed entirely of like 87 different inside jokes funny to us and no one else and these ppl are on one ship for seven years and you KNOW they've got bizarre terminology for EVERYTHING. tom paris makes some dumb joke on the bridge and it spreads through the ship like wildfire until even janeway says it without thinking. in engineering they've got silly nicknames for every tool imaginable and the decks with crew quarters definitely have names like neighborhoods based on the vibes of the crew members there. when that backpacking trip I mentioned was over we tried to explain one of the jokes to someone else and she just went "you all need to talk to other people" and that's it exactly
