It's easy to think "nobody in the whole wide world cares about me" on an empty stomach but try doing it while eating Vegetables and Rice. Seems less convincing now doesn't it? That's simply the power of Vegetables and Rice..
loling at this question specifically:
Jesus christ, I’m not even tall.
While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies.
Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Onion, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen.
(EDIT: Fixed a sentence incorrectly suggesting that Clickhole is still affiliated with the Onion – it totally slipped my mind that they'd sold it back in 2020.)
Ok, to prove to my husband that this is more a European device than a U.S. device I am going to need more non-US people to reblog this.
Do not reblog for science. No science will be happening. Reblog to help me prove a point!
(If I am right I will show him this poll. If I am wrong he will never know this happened)
Dimension 20: Misfits and Magic Season 2, Episode 8: The Man We've Been Waiting For
This is one of my favorite moments in the series! It's such an important realization, and I'm so happy it was Jammer that triggered it. You can hear the truth a hundred ways, but it's still a leap of faith to KNOW it. You were brought to Gowpenny after the discovery that anyone can do magic! The physical manifestations of magic see you as their peers! Lemli took the magic from the bones of dead wizards! K has a server farm of amplification magic in their mind! You are magic.
YOU ARE MAGIC. The wand and the houses and the twee little magical isekai are a PSYOP meant to hold you back. Nostalgia for the past is holding you back. Snap the wand, because you can build something better to take its place. Even the mechanics tell the story. This was always the story.
Somebody had to actually dig the holes in the movie ‘Holes’.
that’s what interns are for
Builds character
His name is Tim Everett.
He plotted all of the holes in “Holes” using 3D modeling. He also supervised the production of all the lizards in the same movie.
He built the storm in “The Perfect Storm” and now he’s the Hollywood go-to guy for water effects. The whirlpool in Pirates of the Caribbean? Tim fucking Everett. They asked for him by name.
He’s the man who taught me how to model mountains and light caves. He showed me how to frame a scene in classical 3-field vignetting. He is a hard ass when it comes to lazy work, and he is one of the most amazing artists I have ever had the pleasure to present my work to.
That someone believes some poor intern had to dig all those holes is a testament to his work. Tim Everett is an environmental guru.
Someone did dig all of those holes.
His name is Tim Everett.
Holy crap. Now that’s dedication.
shoutout to friends btw. best thing earth has to offer
i learned recently the owner of Bluesky is known as the "hippie king of crypto" who has funded NYPD & US marine community projects before and is a federalist society contributor. a huge percentage of business ventures that he engages in wind up crashing & burning, but he always comes out clean. so... yeah. just bookmark this for when he backflips off the far-right cliff or sells the website to another far-right Nazi billionaire.
you just don't get shit like this with 8-episode streaming seasons
Never dumb down or Anglicise your name
Every time you do that YOU'RE LETTING THE BRITS WIN
Dogs have had many jobs throughout history, in this case: Revenge.
love how the king was just like nah let's see where the dog is going with this
Accurate
Inaccurate when I say I’m not very political it’s because I’m not. I’m a libertarian that leans conservative but politics bore me.
The next post on this dudes blog is about how women are naturally inferior
just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet
like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled
i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school
Of interest to approximately 1.5 people, my conclusions about Never Stop Blowing Up as my first Dimension 20 show (video store employees get thrown into a world based on action movies and everything that happens is...the title of the show):
- Very good! Incredibly polished production values and goes at a breakneck pace once they get into the fantasy world. Laughed until I couldn't breathe a few times.
- It is nice to be able to recommend a DnD-adjacent thing without going you'll have to ignore the poor sound quality/all white male cast/2015 edgelord opinions, i promise it gets better!
- I didn't know these actors at all going in. This means when Rekha Shankar looked winsomely self-deprecating and said "I want to ask a question... but I'm afraid you'll think it's stupid...", I mentally went oh sweetie I'm sure it's not stupid! women need to stop devaluing themselves! that's the patriarchy talking! and then she goes on to propose the most goddamn stupid thing that has ever been done in a televised table game and had to roll a dc100 check to make her own greasy shirt act like a mario kart powerup. she did this on purpose to make Brennan shriek. 10/10 no notes.
sam asked the all-knowing qholye about getting evan back, freeing up her friends to ask whatever they wanted.
sam broke her wand, not for some great magical feat, but to see tadershacourt protecting evan.
there's just something about sam making these moves for her friends' benefit that really moves me. even in nonmagical ways: telling jammer he can run his script by her and T2 (think about her connections!) and offering k and evan a place at her house (a pre-cursor to the treehouse and jammer's shelter that is so in sync with them). she's so generous and i know she probably expects nothing in return, because people don't give with the expectation of return, but i hope she's rewarded in some capacity by the narrative.
sam britain is great, but sam butler is the greatest.
