it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

fuck it. reblog this and tell me in the tags what your favorite album is

self-proclaimed “leftists” cheering on the fires in LA because they think it only impacts celebrities & the wealthy is so fucking disgusting and hateful and self obsessed. the #1 group of people who will die from this is non-ambulatory disabled people and homeless people. fuck your feelings of righteousness you sacks of shit

There's already been one fire that sprung up in a homeless tent city, even

I think I was just born with something dark and ugly inside of me. Always waiting to be found out.

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

No seriously it's REALLY fucked up when you treat characters as if they were real live people while you treat people like they're just characters.

I'm gonna go ahead and repeat: it is super, duper, extra scooper fucked up when you treat a character as if it were a living person while treating other human beings who are interacting with you like they are merely characters who can be written out of your personal story if you just find a remark mean enough.

You. You get it.

ETA wait why does this have 18k notes

Reblog this w ur goal 2025 goals in the tags :)

I’m living for The Odyssey discourse on Twitter right now because some people are like, “You’ve never heard of the odyssey” and other people are like, “some people don’t speak English and haven’t read your little American book.”

Btw, these are the tweets that prompted this post.

"we have progressed beyond the tumblr sexyman"

Nah babe, we've effectively regressed back to shaming women for openly liking something unless they write a 3 page disclaimer about how they understand that the sexy morally gray character is actually PrObLeMaTiC and solemnly swear that books and movies will not lead them astray from a life of devout self-denial.

After 68 races together, George and Lewis' average grand prix finishing positions are 0.06 apart and their average points per race weekend are 0.03 apart.

“You pussies who think Max went too far should try watching NASCAR for a weekend”

THREATENING ANOTHER DRIVER IS BANNED IN NASCAR you fuckwits. Your high horse sport literally contradicts your point

Going to drop this here because it’s not behind a paywall and is the most updated rule list for these kinds of things.

I don’t know how to articulate it but it pisses me off that fans always want to dunk on NASCAR, but also use it when their favorite driver is making threats that, based in his previous reckless driving, he would follow through with.

And I know drivers in NASCAR crash into each other. I have been watching motorsports since I was a toddler. However, stock cars do not go nearly as fast as F1 cars do. These stock cars are specifically set up so that the car takes the force of a deliberate crash rather than the driver.

I want everyone to stop being so damn dense. You are fine with it because a grown man that throws tantrums regularly when he faces even the smallest bit of “adversity” is making these threats. Just admit that. Stop tying yourselves into knots trying to justify that.

And stop trying to use other race series that actually punish this kind of shit while the FIA sits there with their thumb up their ass letting their golden boy run off at the mouth.

GEORGE DELIBERATELY AVOIDED MAX AND SAT HIMSELF DOWN NEXT TO LEWIS LMAO

Cold as Ice of George to rock up, see the attempt to bully/make fun of him, and just... pick the chair up and plonk himself down next to Lewis

it's funny george gets the fake pr personality rep because while there certainly are drivers who carefully (and successfully) curate how they come across, george is like. irrepressibly george. every day of his life

Tonight, I am thinking about 8 times NASCAR reminded me that the needle can be moved, even in spaces that often feel like the very bottom of the barrel:

1. NASCAR rejecting advertisements that feature assault-style weapons, in response to staggering gun violence and mass shooting events in the United States

2. NASCAR explicitly including in its rulebook their employees' right to protest/kneel during the National Anthem

3. NASCAR banning the Confederate flag, even as its culture looooves flags and often thinks it loves the Confederacy

4. Tyler Reddick being repeatedly and very publicly outspoken in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, against Trump's excoriation of it, and naming the role of systemic racism as such (even though RCR made him delete some of it/pulled media appearances)

5. RPM running Bubba Wallace's sponsorship-free #BlackLivesMatter car, as well as JGR and Denny Hamlin's FedEx/National Civil Rights Museum car, coupled with Hamlin's explicit narration of the message and wherefores

6. Joey Logano speaking publicly about his hesitations about the COVID vaccine, and sharing his information-gathering and process that led to him coming around and getting the vaccine--an expression of intellectual humility while also modeling the process for others.

7. YAAASCAR, which is simultaneously just rainbow capitalism but also not, because nothing on this earth is more baldly capitalism incarnate than NASCAR, and in the context of the culture loops back around to being real and important.

8. Samantha Busch being diplomatically but undeniably cold about having to spend time with JD Vance and his opinions on reproductive rights/IVF.

No one is beyond compassion or mercy. This is a basic Christian fact

Not even you.
