This totally makes my day every damn time I see it!! The fact that he didn't get flustered or lose his cool even once is the icing on the cake! Carlson can't handle getting the same treatment he gives to so many others. Truly poetic justice. Suck it, Tucker Carlson!

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”

Lot more people around the world are going to watch this now than if it actually aired. Speaking truth to power is the best viral content!

there were cases of COVID-19 in my work building so I am now stuck at home indefinitely. i called my health department and surprisingly got through to a very helpful doctor, and also work in news. here’s some things i learned:

i am literally begging everyone on this hell internet to stay home. if you have the ability (because a lot of people live in hell countries where they’re fucked if they can’t work or have jobs that will fuck them), STAY HOME. don’t travel, don’t go out for dinner, don’t go to the gym. it feels stupid and ridiculous and you’ll probably start to lose your fucking mind, but this has happened in a bunch of countries - people didn’t take it seriously and then it spread like wildfire. 

you, the young, able-bodied person on tumblr, probably will not get sick, or even be seriously injured if you do. but you WILL carry it to someone else. eventually an old person or an immunocompromised or disabled person will catch it. do not consider this as like “oh yay cheap flights if i die i die”. if you’re that healthy, you will not die. but you WILL cause someone else to. don’t leave your house, and if you were exposed, for fuck’s sake, don’t leave your room.

the issue here is that yes, it a relatively mild disease. but because of how it spreads, and incubates, and multiplies, it is infecting people too fast for our woefully ill-equipped infrastructure to handle. in italy, for example, they’re just running out of space in hospitals, and having to prioritize younger patients over older ones. older patients who could survive with the proper care, but will probably die just because there’s TOO MANY people. so yes, while in a perfect scenario, coronavirus would probably not kill most people, in the world we live in, it WILL because of our shitty society.

treat this as a WHEN, not as an if. don’t spread funny memes about “wanting to die of the virus” or how cheap traveling is. don’t spread misinformation that it’s “just a flu” or that “more people die of x”. the unique issue at play here is the speed and the volume of people.

does this mean lots of people will be fucked over by our governments and institutions? yes. figure out how you can help, remotely. anyway remember this:

1. don’t hoard shit. this is not the apocalypse, this is a collective effort to stop a pandemic. stop hoarding face masks bc medical professionals and immunocompromised people need them. 

2. don’t be racist. this has nothing to do with china, you dipshit

3. if you have to go outside or work, wash your fucking hands, cough into your elbow, and stand far away from other people. talking or singing spreads droplets, which is how it spreads.

4. if you feel sick but you live in a place that is just overwhelmed by this, stay home. self-quarantine. just act like you have it, just in case. also call your health department (although they might not be able to test you)

5. a lot of people will be feeling isolated, and also losing out on much needed income because of this — this is where you step up for your community. tip your delivery people well if you can (while also not touching or being within 8 feet of them!), buy merch or books or art from the people you may have been going to see at conventions or concerts. boost people’s fundraising pages. remotely check in on your friends and family who are old or who are disabled or mentally ill — they will be feeling the effects of social isolation really badly (and maybe disease related anxiety, too.)

It makes me sick to watch people treat other humans this way! Without knowing what their circumstances are, no one should ever judge another person who is suffering through something that might be catastrophic to them. It might not be, but since we don't know, it's wrong to pass judgment.

Homeless People Read Mean Tweets About Themselves To End Stereotypes

When celebrities read mean tweets about themselves, it’s funny. When homeless people do it, it’s heartbreaking.

In a powerful PSA by Canadian advocacy group Raising the Roof, people who are dealing with homelessness read actual tweets written about those living without stable shelter. See all of the emotional reactions here.

Is there ever going to be a day, just one day, when this administration isn't doing some kind of douchebaggery to screw over some one???

[hellcas]

Some days.....

someone: how are you?

me:

[hellcas]

THIS!! I second this!!

Most important lesson I learned in the past year is, don’t let anyone turn you cruel. No matter how badly you wanna give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine. It’s never worth losing yourself over.
