I know it can feel tiring but you have GOT to train yourself to both source your stuff if you're the OP, and look for sources if you're reblogging.

It doesn't need to be super exhaustive (like when I sourced that Smithsonian/Barbie joke letter). Just something as simple as "wow, this pretty picture is captioned 'NASA released the most detailed image of Jupiter yet' and NASA images are all public domain, I wonder why OP didn't link it" and 22 seconds later realizing it's because that's not a frickin picture of Jupiter, it's AI.

(Same post had some porn blog in the comments arguing with every single person who called it AI by linking to NASA pages as "proof," and, I cannot emphasize this enough, the NASA pages did not contain the picture at all.)

need to preface this by saying piracy is cool and rad and necessary for media preservation but it's really obvious that the internet archive has no legal (legal, not moral) leg to stand on when you can just upload a whole ass video game to it and allow unlimited/unrestricted downloads. why keep insisting you're a library/archive at this point. like I don't care about the legality of what they're doing personally but I am confused by why they think they can defend it in court when they're barely distinguishable from a torrent site

also if you, like me, have seen the link to disco elysium on the internet archive being passed around tumblr, bluesky, reddit, and wherever else recently: no it was not uploaded by Kurvitz himself (I don't understand this bit of misinfo?) and it was not just added recently, but uploaded two years ago now. you should still click the link if you see it though because piracy is cool and rad

The talent of Casey Stoner and the ambition of Valentino Rossi

The most famous quote in MotoGP history contains a truth about Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi.

An advertisement said that power without control is useless. The same goes for talent without ambition . Two abstract units that have been used together for a decade when talking about MotoGP riders. Specifically since that April 3, 2011 when Valentino Rossi fell with the Ducati in Jerez and dragged Casey Stoner, who at the end of the race said to him: “Obviously your ambition outweighed your talent". The phrase, said with irony by the peculiar Australian pilot, was not only true. Unintentionally, he was x-raying the essence of the Italian pilot and the contrast to his own . Being two of the best pilots of the 21st century, one has nine world titles and the other only two. A difference of seven world titles that cannot be explained by the difference in talent, but rather by ambition. Rossi's ambition has always been boundless . His life revolves around motorcycling in general and victory in particular. However, if there was one thing that Stoner had boundless, it was his talent for riding a motorcycle. Stoner decided, almost a decade ago, to leave MotoGP and pursue other ambitions more related to family and a peaceful life. A perfectly respectable decision and as valid as any, but one that makes it clear that his ambition as a rider was never in line with his talent . Casey Stoner 's victories and titles were the result of his formidable talent for going fast on a motorcycle. A talent so extraordinary that it allowed him to achieve many triumphs with ease and to become MotoGP world champion without apparent effort when everything was going his way. Rossi, on the other hand, is still on the grid at the age of 42, fighting against riders who were not even born when he was already world champion. With his talent undeniable, if there is one word that defines the career of 'Il Dottore' in motorcycling, it is ambition. Going beyond logic, challenging the limits. Not being satisfied even when being the best. When he was winning titles without breaking a sweat with Honda, he decided to go to Yamaha because his ambition wouldn't let him settle. And when he had already won more world titles than anyone else in the premier class with Yamaha, he decided to go to Ducati with the ambition of being the first rider in history to be champion with three different brands. The creation of the Academy and the Sky VR46 are explained in the same way: he also wanted to be a vehicle for transmitting knowledge. His ambition for motorcycling is such that it overwhelms his own body and he has to make room for himself in others. And this also explains why he gives up a golden retirement: for the ambition of achieving more. One more podium, one more victory. So, yes: Stoner was right. That day, Rossi's ambition outstripped his talent. But not just that day: every day for the past 25 years. If it weren't for that, the Italian would have a few less titles and would have spent many years watching the races on TV. Because talent alone can lead you to glory, but it is a fleeting glory. It is the mixture with ambition that makes you eternal.

“It’s time for a hi-chew moment where we just stare into each other’s undulating mouths.”

i decided to make a google document where i gather.. quite literally anything i come across that is about the cats ("lore", that is). so, things that have been said in interviews, shared on social media etc about the jellicles personalities, relations and backstories.

with this said, i was wondering if this is something anyone else would want access to/help writing ? since i am only one person, with biases towards certain cats lol, so i feel the more people add to it the less gaps there'll be. no pressure obvs, but figured i might as well ask

Thinking about finally throwing all my FF7 meta analysis and lore deep dive stuff onto a sideblog. It'd be reblogged from here, but I'd be able to organize it a little better, have a directory so people could find things more easily, and maybe it'd stop people from regurgitating things I say word-for-word for brownie points when they can just find and reblog the fucking original post(s).
