the obsession with realism as the gold standard of quality is the hole where good creature design and interesting fx goes to die
it’s not realism that’s the issue, by the way, that’s just a style, it’s the way people often treat realism as the dictionary definition of good special effects
I have a lot of thoughts about realism as an aesthetic and how it is incredibly relative and how “realistic” is used to mean a huge variety of different things when people say it as a compliment for media lol
So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?

DEFINITELY don’t Lt. John Pike by the nickname “Sargeant Pepper”; I know he HATES that.
What a shame it is to see peaceful protests where students are asking for an end to the genocide being met with force. We need an end to the occupation and an end to the genocide.
This is honest to god the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life

The execution is like slam poetry but the content is clearly a shitpost and that’s def the most powerful combination I’ve encountered in a while
The Shame-Faced Boulder Crab (Calappa pseudopetra) is a large species of rock-mimicking crustacean.
Found in beaches and cliffs, they use their inconspicuous appearance to blend in and patiently wait for prey to approach them. When the moment is right, they strike for the kill.
Due to their heavy exoskeleton, adult C. pseudopetra rarely move during their lifetimes. To avoid expending energy, they will let themselves be pushed by the tide to slowly move. They will only voluntarily leave their hiding spot once, as their final effort, to find a mate.
I hate that this is fake, AI needs to stop
Can we not assume this sort of thing about real artists, please?
It’s honestly discouraging as hell. It would take people 3 seconds to click on my profile and see that I do all my work with Photoshop. Even with direct links to the twitch channel where I made these pieces live if they don’t believe my word.
This is one of the worst consequences of the AI environment we live in. People take your work that you’ve spent so much time creating and thinking about and just reduce it to something trivial.
the changes I’ve been noticing in food on top of inflation…the worsening of textures…smaller packaging…the loss of flavor as companies reformulate with cheaper ingredients for the sake of profit
Rabbis from the US and Israel marched towards the Erez crossing carrying symbolic aid for Gaza and calling to end the war. The police blocked them a few hundred meters from the border, and arrested 7 protesters. source
[ID: Four posters by @LizWhatsHerFace on Instagram. 1. A muscular man wearing a black respirator, a black tank top and black shorts. “Are you man enough to wear the Ellipse P100 Niosh respirator or should I call Kyle?” 2. A thin woman wearing a black N95 facemask, pink lace bralette, white fur vest, pink and white striped pants and sunglasses “Sorry I made it weird when I said my life is worth more than eating indoors at Applebees.” 3. A stacked woman wearing a white N95 facemask and a low cut white tank top “I bring a sort of wear a fuckin mask vibe to the party” 4. A photonegative woman wearing a black N95 facemask and black tshirt “Radical Covid zero extremists want your dick to keep working.” Comment by Liz at the bottom “trying some new approaches 🌈🍔”]
Ooh I own an Elipse p100 that duckers comfy as hell, works great with glasses, does double duty for fire conditions.
The number in a rating tells you the minimum amount of airborne challenge particles the mask protects against: an N95 mask keeps out at least 95% of particles but isn’t oil resistant, and a P100 mask is oil proof while protecting the wearer from at least 99.8% of particles.
This included virus particles, so yes, it protects against COVID.
Make sure you pick up some replacement filters!
Guys, NO. The Elipse p100 has an EXHALE VALVE. Meaning it filters the air coming in, but it doesn’t filter the air going out. So, yeah, it’ll protect you from COVID while you’re wearing it, but if you happen to get COVID anyways (it happened to me, the most mask-fastidious person I know irl), then you’ll be breathing it out to everyone around you just the same as if you weren’t wearing a mask at all.
Protect yourselves AND each other. Look for masks with no exhale valve.
bitches just want us all to be perfectly perisex more than anything
newborn babies have their genitals mutilated so they’re Normal and intersex teenagers get hrt forced on them whether we like it or not while trans people have to jump through a billion hoops to even have the thought of getting hrt entertained because they would no longer be properly perisex once they begin physically transitioning. what if i killed everyone.
and on top of all the medical abuse we are completely fucking forgotten by EVERY “leftist” and “lgbt activist”. we’re afterthoughts at best to allllll of you
So basically, Dolly the sheep was an accident. They were trying to clone sheep cells, and they ended up unintentally generating an embryo, which turned out to be viable, hence we got Dolly.
The method they used proved unsuccessful in primates, and the risk of cloning primates (and thus humans) outweighs the benefits (because there really aren’t any real benefits, scientifically speaking), so they don’t do it.
Where it’s most likely to be used is in agriculture, cloning livestock embryos.
What they use cloning for is stem cells. Cloning adult cells to create stem cells means they don’t need embryonic stem cells, which is probably the most important thing that came from cloning research in the past 25 years.
The reason it was so important was that it proved that you didn’t need an embryonic cell to clone live animals. The nucleus of an adult cell contains all the DNA you need to clone, because Dolly was cloned from an adult cell, which was previously unheard of. Now they know that adults cells can be reprogrammed back to an embryonic stage, and was a major breakthrough for stem cell research.
So basically, we don’t hear about cloning anymore because they aren’t doing anything that is so exciting it will capture the world’s interest, like Dolly did. But it was a major scientific breakthrough that is still very important.
One of my favourite cloned animals is Kurt, a Przewalski’s Horse who was cloned from the preserved samples from a horse that died in the 90’s so that he can hopefully introduce some additional genetic diversity into the Przewalski’s Horse population. Oh hey there’s actually two clones of this one horse now, the second one is Ollie who was born last year. Kurt is now about four years old. Last I checked he was at the San Diego Zoo.
We don’t tend to clone animals that are more common because we already have a very efficient machine for making sheep, it’s called sheep.
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they’re like “uhm… translate? 😒” fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don’t need to know what they’re saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.
Я думаю русский это один из языков, где такое невозможно сделать…
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let’s say it’s 5:25 pm and you’re driving home after an unusually hard day’s work.
You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You’re only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
Unfortunately you don’t know if you can make it..
Maybe you’ve taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn’t told you how to help yourself.
How do you survive a heart attack when you’re alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
1. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
2. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here’s how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
3. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
4. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Reblogging this, because it is helpful information, BUT, with a couple of additions and caveats. First, this:
And yes, as you get older, these are things you actually start thinking about, and worrying about, so I always try to stay informed.
Important for younger people too!! I was in my 30’s, sitting in a waiting room, feeling sorry for myself because I was the youngest person at the cardiologist’s. Then a kid who couldn’t have been more than 16 walked in….
One of the most dangerous mistakes people make about their health is believing that a health problem doesn’t happen to people “their age”.
i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.
Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
government is trying to ban tiktok meanwhile millions of poor and disabled americans are about to completely lose their internet access at the end of april because congress wont renew funding for the affordable connectivity program
hell fucking world
if you want to help us convince congress to do something that actually benefits society, please check out the link below. we only have roughly 45 days of affordable internet service remaining from the time this post has been written
thank you to the dishonest failing new york times for constantly erasing us and purposefully obscuring jewish participation in these protests just to make people less sympathetic to the movement opposing an ongoing genocide
btw you can see all the edits nyt makes to their article titles on this twitter account
to be clear editing the gray lady is a third party who keeps track of changes to articles post release for accountability purposes
