personally it goes against my ethical code to be the guard who lies but id be really good as the one who tells the truth. any lost traveller could easily tell by my kind and earnest eyes that i would not lead them astray

Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

I wish Mythbusters was still around so we could see them fuck up a Cybertruck

“I’m not afraid of you.” Snarled with defiance, teeth bared <- Good! A classic.

“I’m not afraid of you.” Whispered with awe, expression tender <- I need more of this. Now.

there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

pro tip: if your child isn't very good at keeping up with an essential life skill, you should absolutely make them feel ashamed of it to the point they'd rather hide the problem than risk letting you see it

i constantly joke about celine losing her mind and being disappointed if she learned that the girls were crushing on demons and rumi fell in love with one but i now realize that gwi-ma must have been cringing at seeing his demon slaves ( yes slaves ) were also crushing on hunters

like there is jinu obviously but romance was mesmerized by mira and couldn't stop looking at her during the fan signing event and it's a popular headcanon that the reason mystery barked at the fans was because he didn't like that zoey was talking to them and when she told him it was bad to do that he immediately obeyed her

like if gwi-ma wasn't a giant flaming mouth he would have been bashing his head against the wall and going : what is it with these hunters making my demons weak to their knees NAH one demon falling in love with a hunter was already bad enough and resulted in a half child that i can't control i don't even want to think about what will happen with 3 more doing the same im too starved to deal with this nonsense 😮‍💨😫

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

The 1st official statement from the new Honorary President of Dropout, Vic Michaelis 🫡

"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

Does that tgirl have a 'butch haircut' because she's defying gender norms or because hair stylists don't respect her desire for a feminine haircut and nobody taught her how to cut her own hair?

Does that tgirl wear 'butch clothes' because she wants to dress ambiguously or is she too broke to wear anything other than the clothes her parents bought her in high school?

Does that tgirl have noticeable stubble because she's genderfuck or because she doesn't know where to start with buying and applying makeup?

Does that tgirl have hairy legs, feet, and belly because she's a hardline feminist or because electrolysis is $300~ a session?

Does that tgirl want to present masc or is she just poor and isolated?

stop putting touchscreens in cars and get to the features people actually want: oscillating vent fans, visors that move automatically to block the sun, and the ability to fire red koopa shells at people who change lanes without using their turn signal

Thank you everyone! Now I know to clean a cybertruck by applying a solution of saltwater and lemon juice and using steel wool to scrub it in. This will certainly restore the vehicle’s original shine.

Oh my god we actually did it.
