Did you know that the famous line "And what the hell is that smell?" from 'Independence Day' was improvised by Will Smith? While filming the scene on the salt flat near the Great Salt Lake in Utah, nobody warned him about the strong odor caused by billions of decomposing brine shrimp in the lake.⁠

The crisis of the last year with student protests has made even the richest institutions aware of how much of their presumed wealth can be yanked away from them by a donor class who are increasingly inclined to exert their influence and authority in openly oligarchic ways. The obsession with safety—and the contradictions of that obsession—is as much about financial management as anything else. But that also is a wider sociocultural formation: the American upper middle-class is generally an asset class now who think about safety in the same way as universities both because all institutions with asset-based wealth have to and because they personally have to safeguard their assets in the same fashion, and face some of the same risks from liability exposure. [. . .] Moving away from the caretaker era can’t just be a matter of exposing students to risk and dismantling systems that make safety the mandatory product of an intrusive regime of surveillance and correction. If the people in charge inside the university and outside of it aren’t equally exposed to the natural consequences of their actions and decisions, all this means is forcefully communicating to students—or perhaps all young people—their relative powerlessness and vulnerability. It means deciding that the lesson you really want to teach is that it’s bad to be powerless and thus you should strive in life for power and wealth in order to be beyond consequences. Arguably, if the caretaker era and the bystander era were both aligned with a wider social ideology that was broadly shared across a generation, then this in fact the new ethos of our time—that there is no safety but in power, and that where power believes people are not being sufficiently punished for the things that power disdains, it will find a way to make consequences where there have been none.

the thing about cigarettes after sex being like a trope or something is that one time in college I joined a poetry club at a local bookstore and, as one often does when they are a college student in a poetry club, I hooked up with one of the other guys in the club and afterward he offered me a cigarette (my favorite type and everything) and I was like "yes absolutely, but I thought you don't smoke?" and he goes "oh I don't, but you know how it is with poets."

It'd be really cool if Miles pulled a Hobie and learned how to make his own gizmo before the events of ATSV. Maybe it's not a watch but a bracelet of some kind, or he pulls a Rick & Morty and creates a little portal gun. Through trial and error, Miles successfully travels between different universes/dimensions/realities, exploring with wide-eyed wonder and geeking out like the adorable nerd he is.

"Mr. Mullins, I have in my possession sixty-eight letters, none of which has begun to outlive its usefulness. I'm quite prepared to admit that blackmail is risky, but then murder has its disadvantages too - that is why I gave up murder."

Of course the moment my province announces increasing the minimum wage as it's tied to inflation, people pop out of the woodwork saying that this will mean prices will go up as if there hasn't been rampant inflation already.

I'm pretty sure it's not a future $0.65 raise which was just announced that's causing you to pay dozens/hundreds extra a month on food and rent alone for the past several months if not a year or more.

Stop gnashing your teeth at people already scraping by because you "went through the same and managed" and focus that anger at the people and systems that are actually causing it.

additionally - when it comes to respecting boundaries, especially with the things that follow a sudden explosion of popularity and fandom for one person's works. if you're going to be disrespectful to content creators and directly try to breach their privacy; i suggest minding your own business and listening to what a creator says regarding their projects.

you're not entitled to do whatever you'd like with characters you don't own or demand a rapid downpour of content.

you're not entitled to a creator's identity.

you're not entitled to anything.

clown is one person and not a goddamn corporation. welcome home is their project and these are his characters. nobody here is entitled to a goddamned thing they're creating and you sure as hell shouldn't be horny about their characters in public.

not to mention: the rampant reposting of other peoples' fan-art (and uncredited, too) in the tags. can people stop doing that? i've noticed the resurgence of fan-art reposters in various tags ever since the tiktok and twitter folks migrated here & it's also quite disrespectful.

I'm not saying the Watcher streaming thing is their best idea but man some of you really don't know how much money a production on that scale can take
