Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”
The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”
Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”
Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”
Me: “Oh….well…thanks”
Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”
Gordon Ramsay is actually really good with children!
Shout out to this one woman from Blair Witch Project. According to the directors everyone involved in the scene was a plant, except for her, some random woman from the real Burkitsville who was asked about the Blair Witch and immediately made up a story about seeing a documentary on the Discovery Channel about disappearing hunters. While carrying a child. Unsung MVP of horror
If you haven’t heard about the latest Fox News bullshit that is the Taylor Swift/Biden conspiracy theory, then keep scrolling and ignore this post, life is too short.
I just want to say, though, that this unhinged Fox News nonsense:
is what lead to tweets like this:
I really need y'all to stop and think for a second and realize that, aside from this being complete nonsense designed to generate Fox News clickbait now that everyone has accepted that the green M&M doesn’t wear heels anymore (I wish I was joking), this isn’t how politics works. The White House media or strategy offices responsible for forming relationships with spokespeople are not staffed by the same people who strategize foreign policy. Like, by a long shot. Courting public figures for campaigning and calling for a ceasefire are not mutually exclusive actions, and this kind of language is designed to make you angry so you don’t stop to think about that. Aside from this whole Taylor Swift being absurd, everything in this tweet basically sounds like a high schooler saying, “instead of attending to the business of student government, the AV club want to buy a flat screen TV.”
Begging y'all to stop and think about the content you reblog and use common sense.
“people only *think* the economy is bad because of rising grocery costs!” okay but that’s called food insecurity, and I cannot overstate how big of a deal that is. food prices are, historically speaking, the number one thing that people have rioted about.
just saw on twt that apparently the campaign to renew ofmd fell apart and that the people who put up the billboard deleted their site and discord and disappeared and nobody knows what happened to the money? if true alhamdulillah 🙏

I really can’t believe I’ve been on this hell site for 8 years
Impart me in your wisdom of ancient times
one time there was a tumblr user with the url “pizza” and she would just comment on any text post about pizza saying “omg that’s me” and then we found out she had an entire tag dedicated to saying the n word
One time somebody paid $750 for the url ‘hi’ and got deleted in less than a year for promoting weight loss scams
There’s always been something deeply wrong with this place.
All this place needs is another scandal. Any volunteers?
id be a better rock pusher than sisyphus id push it up the hill and win. then id push it down the other side do some katamari shit to anything in the way fuck all life
oh me? nothing much. just at my job patrolling the same linear path through a warehouse as always. yeah i can hear someone creeping around and as soon as they step into my line of sight they are dead as fuck. but not until then. cant be too hasty with these things
accidentally steps into your vision cone, but quickly backs into the shadows again
what was that? probably nothing. oh well back to my linear path
Ok since that last Hallmark Romulan post was a hit, I’m hoping this one does well as well.
Here’s a Hallmark ornament commercial for Klingon bird of prey ornament. It has Gowron AND Martok. And they’re speaking Klingong throughout the whole commercial. Peopele complained about having to read subtitles when Parasite came out a few years ago. Now imagine if you were some guy in the 80s and having to keep up with all the subtitles here. And it’s an accurate Klingont too instead of Paramount Hol. (The accuracy of their Klingon is attested by the clearly audible word for bird of prey, “toQDuj”)
They really could have just tell the actors to say random gibberish, or not use Klingon at all. But they did. They gave a shit about Star Trek because this was the early 90s.
the cool thing about there being so little reliable info on pompey jr’s side of the civil war is that weird ass theories like “scipio and cato kept sextus in africa as a sort of hostage so gnaeus would behave” or “the imp f inscription on gnaeus’s coins is short for imperator felix” have to actually be mentioned before they’re dismissed. and i the reader gets to see them
but one thing all the ancient sources agree on is that Sextus Pompey made a great joke when he invited Antony and Caesar jr to a convivium on his flagship during the Misenum conference and said “welcome to dinner at my Carinae property*”
*Carinae was a neighborhood where Pompey Sr. had a house. Antony bought it at auction along with the rest of Pompey’s property. Carina is also the Latin word for “keel” and by metonymy, a “boat”. Interestingly, Pompey’s Carinae house is probably the one that had rostra (captured ships’ prows) on it, just to make this whole thing where Sextus tries to regain his patrimony by becoming master of the seas and the “son of Neptune”.
sextus went “how many themes can i cram into a single joke?” and decided on all of them, and this is why you cannot not love him
I’ve seen my partner go through 3 different jobs that all found various ways to fire them or pressure them to quit because the “accommodations” given helped nobody but the company.
When you give companies the power to terminate employment at their own discretion, they will use it at every opportunity they can, especially towards people who are deemed “difficult” (i.e., disabled).
They will always find a way around discrimination laws.
Americans, these are things we are NOT saying in 2024:
“Voting blue won’t solve anything.” Yes it will: if enough of us do it, it will solve a problem called Trump’s second term in the White House. We unfortunately live in a two-party system. If you refuse to vote, you’re effectively voting for Trump. I shouldn’t need to explain this to people, yet here we are.
“It doesn’t matter who’s president. Both candidates are the same anyway.” No, they are REALLY not. Biden was never my first choice, and his shipments of arms to Israel are despicable, but don’t try to tell me even for a second that a second Trump term would be the same for the world as a second Biden term.
“But voting blue won’t fix [fundamental underlying problem in America].” Voting for Democrats cannot fix every issue, this is true. But by saying this and ONLY this you are discouraging people from voting by making them feel hopeless. Voting is one of many tools in our arsenal, not the only tool, but an important one, and it does matter.
“You shouldn’t vote blue, you should do [other thing] instead.” See above: you can vote and protest and organize at the same time. It’s not either/or. You can do it all. Stop discouraging voters from exercising their rights under the guise of leftism.
“Voting is just legitimizing government power. It makes you part of the system.” Literally just shut up. Women and people of color didn’t fight for their voting rights to have you say things like this. If you live in America and you can legally vote, then you should fucking vote, and vote blue. There is no neutral option.
“Voting blue just makes you complicit in [this bad policy].” Inaction, and allowing Trump to have a second term, is worse for the entire world than any Democrat policy. Yes, even that one. Voting is not about finding a perfect unproblematic candidate. It is about choosing the lesser of two evils.
“Voting doesn’t work because—” STOP IT. STOP DISCOURAGING PEOPLE FROM VOTING.
You know who wants you NOT to vote? Trump supporters, that’s who. You should be suspicious of ANYONE who is suggesting that your vote doesn’t matter, or that both candidates are the same, or that Biden’s policy on XYZ means you shouldn’t vote for him. Trump supporters aren’t trying to get your vote by saying, “Vote for Trump!” They’re trying to get your vote by DISCOURAGING YOU FROM VOTING AT ALL.
I don’t like Biden either, but Trump is unequivocally worse. Voting doesn’t fix everything, but it is the minimum fucking requirement of living in a democracy. Voting for president has real, tangible, immediate impacts on people’s lives, and choosing not to vote is not the rebellion you think it is, it is just relinquishing your voice. So fucking vote. THIS IS A GROUP PROJECT AND DAMN IT WE ARE NOT FAILING BECAUSE OF YOU.
Reblogging this again in honor of the dipshit in my notes crying and screaming about things I did not say. “Why do you like Biden why are you saying he’s good” I don’t. Says it right there in the post. “But voting won’t fix everything” I know. Says it right there in the post. “Voting is the bare minimum” Amazing! Says that in the post too. “Why aren’t you telling people to do things beside vote” I literally did. Read the fucking post.
If you don’t like Biden’s support for Israel, you should know that it is nothing compared to Trump’s support for Israel, and the Republican Party in general. And they are using American influence in entirely different ways.
Biden: “Israel is our ally, and we support our allies. However, let’s talk behind the scenes and use our material support to put pressure on them to stop their part of the violence and come to a viable peace agreement.”
Trump: “Fuck yeah, genocide is awesome! Let’s kill all the brown people! Let’s kill all the Muslims! I’m going to give you everything you could ever want with no strings!” Trump is supported by Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians, who believe in the Rapture, which is a completely whacked interpretation of Revelation in which, for Jesus to come back, Israel has to be destroyed and all Jews killed, except that God will kill all the people who destroy Israel. Therefore, Rapture believers want someone else (preferably Muslims) to destroy Israel and commit genocide against Jews, so that both Jews and Muslims will be wiped out.
Those are your two choices.
On the one hand, a guy who stands by Israel politically and militarily but is also advocating for justice and peace behind the scenes, or a guy who is 100% ride-or-die for the worst of Netanyahu’s violence and backed by people who are hoping to use this to create more genocide in the future.
And if you say “well, I just won’t vote,” you are contributing to the victory of the guy who is vocally pro-genocide.
I recently saw a post trying to discourage votes for Biden by revealing things that have happened under Biden. However I’ve noticed people doing that never seem to want to discuss the problem or policy under Republicans.
The post revealed the large number of immigrants deported under Biden. What the poster was careful not to point out is that Republicans consider only deporting several hundred thousand people to be an “Open Door” policy they need to fix by sending everyone back and slamming the door shut.
Biden hasn’t fixed abortion rights. Oh, you mean those rights Trump succeeded in destroying by stacking the Supreme Court with conservative judges who lied about not revoking Rowe vs Wade. Do you think conservatives are happy with States being able to decide to protect abortion? Do you think they aren’t working to change that?
Israel. See the post above on the rapture. Understand how deeply help that belief is. I had an elderly neighbor who used to donate $25 a week to her church so they would have enough money to send Jewish people back to Israel for the end times.
Look, if the Republicans take the House, Senate and Presidency, you will learn far too quickly and sadly how badly you’ve been decieived.
You are voting for every Democrat on that ballot purely as a matter of survival.
I mean, this is exactly the conversation we were having about Hillary Clinton in 2016. “She’s just as bad as Trump, she’s a corporate shill who’s BFFs with Henry Kissinger.” Same people peddling the same “we have to show we don’t support this.” What exactly, again, did we get for not turning out in 2016? And what have the “you don’t have to vote” people done, exactly?
Where is the robust network of social support NGOs, unions and mutual aid societies? Where are the third party candidates working at the municipal and county levels working to build infrastructure and funding to challenge these rancid old two-party candidates?
Nowhere, because the people peddling the “don’t vote” rhetoric are not interested in actual change. They are playing into people’s misinformation about how government works, how the parties work, and the amount of investment that needs to be made to create visible systemic change.
Protest. Build support networks. Write letters. Fundraise for food, shelter and protection for the vulnerable. AND vote, because voting is literally the minimum wage of civic engagement. It is the “if I could do less, I would.” If you want candidates you WANT to vote for instead of the lesser of two evils, you need to convince them to run, tell people about them, and raise money for them, and they can’t go from zero to Presidential level in 4 years, and they can’t do anything without a Congress to go with them because that’s how checks and balances have been weaponized against our country by grifters and bigots acting in bad faith for literal decades now.

Tell him” and I’ve been googling for a billion years but I can’t find it and I rlly wanna find this post so if any of u have it plsssssss add the link and I’d die for u
