I didn’t know Mr. T pityed fool’s that weren’t woke, but that’s awesome. #respect

“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“

-Mr. T on the subject of his name

I had no idea he put this much thought into this wow

I wonder why we dont hear about this…

My favourite incident like this was the Skylab 4 mission, where the crew arrived at the empty station, only to find several people already inside, to their great alarm. Upon investigating, they realized the intruders were wearing the Skylab 3 mission patches… and were also just dummies the Skylab 3 crew had made and left there without telling anyone, specifically to fuck with the next team.

Can you imagine entering a supposedly empty space station and seeing this? Fucking terrifying. I love it.

I’m just impressed that, in an environment where weight and available resources are so carefully accounted for, people still find windows to pull bullshit like this.

its that time of year

yall are missing this classic as well

It’s that time of year~

add this one to the list!

One industry AI can never replace

Honestly after years of watching Ben Shapiro play the genuine good faith debater so his fans can talk about how smart and reasonable and fair he is before going back to his real persona on his show, it is amazing to see someone tear that shit apart while he could do nothing but grin and take it. He comes into these “debates” pretending to be nice and respectful while not truly respecting a single person he’s talking to, sneaking in insults whenever he can, and fully planning to laugh behind their backs for being so dumb as to think their opinions matter, and people have to take it because otherwise they look like the unreasonable ones. It’s all a con for his outrage grift machine, and not a single word of it is in good faith.

So this guy decided to take one for the team and give back overtly the same disrespect Shapiro was dealing covertly. He flipped the chair around to throw him off his game to start (getting Shapiro to praise his masculinity right before revealing he was trans), ripped apart his charade, gish galloped him into silence, and then topped the whole thing off by faking the handshake that Shapiro had been doing insincerely with every participant. All while Shapiro, because he has to play the role, can’t do a thing about it. Don’t know if he just saw one thing too many and pulled this all off the top of his head, or if he planned to make a fool of Shapiro from the jump and was just waiting for the right moment, but either way go off king.

This is a sincerely important video. He came in knowing EXACTLY how Shapiro plays the game and turned the whole thing on his head. The only way Shapiro could possibly look- not GOOD, certainly, but at least not WORSE- was to sit there and take it. Check fucking mate, THAT is hoe you outmaneuver a fucker. Hell fucking yeah

reblogging to normalize. because we really should be uplifting sex workers as bread winners. Also because they should be able to show their face in public without fear of repercussions??? (cough cough), like this gentleman.

Honestly its unhinged and hilarious but yet also seriously something I want to see more of

Reblog if you’re a cheap whore. Or respect cheap whores. Or have the power to turn young people into cheap whores. (they can never tell which)

If you’re making enough to pay off your sister’s student loans you are not a cheap whore you are a wildly successful whore which is admittedly beside the point but damn

Okay, but what bank is going to let you just walk in and deposit $20,000 in cash?

OH MY GOD.

“I was 14, I didn’t know what I was doing.”

whaT THE FUCK

This story has no goddamn brakes

(transcript because I couldn’t find one in the notes)

Stephen Colbert: A lot of writers say they were nerdy kids, unpopular, like outcasts, or that sort of thing; was that your experience growing up?

BJ Novak: I think that’s exaggerated, I think a lot of people love to say, ‘oh I was such a nerd’ or ‘I was such a rebel, I sat in the back of the bus’. Most people sat in the middle of the bus. That’s how buses work. So, you know, people say-

Colbert: So you were sitting in the middle?

Novak: Yeah, that’s where I sat! I mean, I did my homework and y'know, dreamed of being a bit of a rebel. I did a very nerdy version of rebellion, which I guess is sort of my way of balancing where I sat on the bus. When I was 14, I got it in my head that I wanted a fake ID. and I committed what- the only term for it is ‘identity theft’, to get this fake ID. So this is the kind of nerd- I’ve never told this story before, this is pretty much the nerdiest way you can be like, ‘a bad kid’. I went to the Newton library where I grew up, and I went through their polling records… buckle in.

Colbert: I think you’ve already - just that sentence has violated a federal law, but go ahead.

Novak: Yeah, there’s a handful of these, and I actually tried to google the statute of limitations on this before the show and couldn’t get the WiFi.

Colbert: Okay.

Novak: So I looked up -this is true- I looked up someone that was 21 years old, through their polling records.

Colbert: And you’re 14.

Novak: I was 14 years old, I looked up someone who was 21 who had my same first name and initial, because I thought, “if I get drunk” -I had never been drunk. I was like, “if I forget my name, I can’t get busted”. So I found someone who was “Benjamin J. [something]”. So I found this guy’s name and I thought, “if I can just forge all his documents, I can go to the DMV and say I lost my license and they’ll give me a new license with his picture”, this is my plan.   So first I need to know where he’s born so I can get his birth certificate, so I call his house. I ask for him, I don’t know what i would have done, I get his brother and I say “I work with Ben, we’re doing a crossword puzzle based on his life for his birthday. Can you tell me what town he was born in?’. So he told me and I took the subway there and I got his birth certificate.

Colbert: How- You went to the- You went to like the county clerk and said-

Novak: They didn’t ask for ID, they just gave me his birth certificate. Then I opened up a mailbox in his name and wrote- I was 14, I didn’t know what i was doing- I wrote to the IRS.

Colbert: Uh-huh…

Novak: And I filled out tax forms in his name. And then I went to the DMV and said “I lost my wallet and I need to-this is all i have”. And i looked 14 years old, but I had these documents, so they sent me to the backroom with this woman who sized me up and said “I can’t give you this, you don’t even have a picture”, and then said with a wry smile on her face, “Open your wallet right now.” and like a true method actor, the only thing I had in my wallet was a library card I had signed in his name. And she approved it, and for the rest of high school I had this actual driver’s license, with my picture on it. [audience cheering] Novak: I’m glad we have some support. You have a look on your face- I don’t know if that was funny or if you just broke the law…

Colbert: It was fantastic, I just hope you have a good lawyer.

love that he keeps doing this. genuinely my favorite fucking bit

he has had like ten “final movies” and everytime i get sad about it. and then he makes another one. fucking love this guy

May his memory be a blessing.

Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.

Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.

Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:

"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."

From Wikipedia

He was also a pretty great artist

Reblog to include his artwork!

Long you have journeyed through the mythic realms, through forests deep, caverns old, to arrive at the Valley of the Sun! (people laugh) LOL, big LOL. |It is in the dead of night, dawn has not yet come, and from an ancient sarcophagus lines with runes, you see rising from the mist, the vampiric form of John Strahd! (people laugh) CEO of Ravenloft Studios. (people boo)

He arises, (gasps), and you see behind him the vast collected treasures, artifacts, and magical items, all taken from the fine hands of your fellow wizards, bards, artificers. A massive horn like that of an ancient dragon!

He stands, "Ahh, adventurers brave. Defeating you will be a cruel, but necessary evil!" (everyone boos)

Video Description: Two Black folks are standing next to each other in a lightly crowded gym. The person on the right has a shaved head, and is wearing a big black T-shirt and shorts. She starts the video by saying, "I think we're in the frame, I hope we're in the frame. Okay! Alright-y! Today, we have the question of the day and we're here with—"

She pauses and holds out a microphone toward the person on the left, who is dark-skinned, with a mustache and beard and short locs. He replies, "Jaylen."

"All right," the interviewer says. "So the question is why do you come to the gym? I see you here almost every time I'm here and it inspires the fuck out of me. You're always doing your thing, you're always singing and having a great time and I want you to let these people know why you come here."

Jaylen leans toward the mic, smiles and looks at the camera as she points toward into the lens. "Um, I come to the gym almost every day. Like, four or five times a week, because I like to body slam cops if I need to."

The interviewer looks at the camera, pauses, and then points at Jaylen. "What he said!" she says."'Cause what?" She looks at Jaylen, giggling and hold the mic out again. Jaylen grins. "Fuck the police! ACAB! 1312!"

The interviewer laughs, turning to face Jaylen. "Okay, thank you so much, Jaylen," she says, still laughing. Jaylen walks off-screen as she comes up to the camera, still talking and laughing." Yo, I was not expecting that, okay." End description.

video description:

Video starts on a black woman wearing a light pink snapback hat with gold glasses and a blue shirt, sat in the backseat of a car on the passenger side, captioned "What is the most pettiest things you've taken after a breakup?" She asks the camera, "What's the most petty thing you've taken from your ex after your breakup? I'll go first."

Video cuts to a black woman with short hair in a floral shirt standing before a brick wall. What she says is as follows:

"Many years ago, just a few days before Christmas, my ex informed me that he was no longer happy; he was seeing someone else and um. He just wanted to 'move on' with his life. And he suggested that I move out after the holidays because" The woman shrugs.

"You know it was his house. And I understood that." The woman rolls her eyes.

"I left that same day. I called my sister she brought a U-Haul, and we got my stuff outta there. But when I say 'my stuff' I meant My Stuff.

"I took everything. He had nothing when I got there; I left him with nothing.

"And, to top it off..." She looks to her left, before looking at the camera again.

"I took the damn Christmas tree. Yes I did. Tied it to the top of my car, ornaments and all, I was riding down the highway ornaments falling off.

"I felt like the Grinch.

"It was exhilarating." A short pause.

"Ho ho ho you mother- I can't say that."
