In the DC universe there’s a petition with over five hundred thousand signatures asking Batman to let Robin represent the USA on the male gymnastic team
I do think it’s told its story, it doesn’t feel incomplete. But when I want more animated shows, I WANT MORE LOWER DECKS.
But also, the labor differences between animation and live action intrigue me. It’s so, so much less reliant on specific actors. Rick and Morty replaced the person who voiced Rick and Morty.
Get multiple VAs per character, hire large teams of animators who can draw the same way, and large teams of whatever else an animated show need, idk, I’m just a fan,
and you could make a show that has an episode every day for years without overworking people.
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) - they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY THAT AND NOT PROVIDE A VIDEO
I HAVE REALISED MY MISTAKE AND SHALL RECTIFY IT:
Cheeps.
Filed under: Things I Was Not Prepared For
Cats can either purr or roar but not both. There are only four cat species that roar: tigers, lions, leopards and jaguars. All the other cats purr.
The largest cat that purrs is the mountain lion. It sounds amazing.

With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
Last week if you told me you had “Trump accuses Kamala Harris of racefaking in front of an audience of black journalists” on your bingo card, I would’ve chastised you for an incredibly poor-taste joke, but apparently you can mark that square today
So, something to understand is that he does not listen to his advisors or follow the strategy they set out for him, almost ever. His campaign strategists and advisors have been pretty staunchly pushing the GOP and the public-facing side of the campaign to avoid attacks on the basis of race or gender, because it loses them poll numbers and gains her support. This hasn’t stopped him, or any of the other Republicans, they just can’t help themselves, but his advisors are practically begging him to cut this shit out. The other important thing to understand about this event is that the appearance was cut short because his own campaign requested they end it, that’s how bad a job he did following his advisors’ strategy

okay but what if im doing a bit. just so i can be like “oooo look at me i’m so-and-soooo” and make fun of them. if it’s really funny. it wouldnt work without the shapeshifting i swear
people use this as an excuse way too often!!!!!!
for people with static bodies, you have to understand how personal their facade is to their identity, and how traumatizing it can be for them to be stolen from them, even as a “joke”.
genuinely cannot believe the attitude some shapeshifters here have towards static beings… like. you’re mad at us for saying you shouldn’t shift into someone without asking first?? be fucking for real right now. if you shift into a real person you literally take a piece of their consciousness in your own to be able to channel their visage. it’s incredibly fucking disorienting to have a literal piece of you ripped away from your consciousness for g-d knows how long for someone else to play a silly prank (not to mention how fucking awful it is to have your visage used for something you would never do) and if too many people shift into you at once it can have incredibly damaging repercussions!! like literally ripping your soul from your body and killing your physical form. thats literally what happened to elvis. so many people started impersonating him and it fucking killed him. if any of the shifters on this site ever actually did any research on static people they would know this but they don’t care because static pain is only a big funny joke to them 🙄
THANK YOU. i try not to speak for statties too often (im not sure if i can say that word but “static beings” is kind of a mouthful, plz lemme know if thats not ok), but so many people literally act like you didn’t see the heartbreaking footage of Elvis pushing through his final show while his soul escaped his body!! as if it isn’t compulsive in the American school system to watch that footage in grade 8!!!
and most people just FORGAVE john lennon for straight up SOLICITING SHIFTERS IN HIS AUDIENCE TO TAKE ON THE FORM OF ELVIS WHILE HE WAS ALSO PERFORMING A CONCERT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME AS HIM. i mean, he was shot about it eventually but nowadays people talk about him like he didnt basically kill a man live on stage.
it’s fucking gross honestly and not enough people take this shit seriously.
Hey, quick question. What do you mean “or place”???

I’m going to sound very old and very tired here for a second, but iIt is so dystopian to me to have ads on my computer.
Ads used to be on the internet. And that’s that. The things that were installed on my computer did not show me ads.
And that goes even beyond the questionable practice that free versions of programs such as Avira now show you lil ads in the corner of your screen like once a day.
You used to have free games on your computer.
I was in the mood to play a game again, a very rare mood for me, and I opened the game center for the… first time since I had this version of Windows (as I said; very rare mood).
And there’s ads. You play the “free” games that live on your computer and there are ads left and right and beneath it and between levels there is just a 20 second ad break.
You can go premium to no longer have ads.
That’s dystopian to me.
When things that used to be fully free and just part of something are now riddled with ads and to get the ad free experience that, again, used to just be the experience, you have to pay.
And it’s not even a one-time-payment.
Back in the day, you used to pay for something and then you owned it. You used to pay for a program or a game, and you owned a physical CD that you put in your computer to install the thing and it was just yours. It belonged to you, because you paid for it.
Now everything is a per month subscription, which is just so sinister because many look like oh, that’s not that much money! Sure, I’ll pay 1,99€/month to play games ad free. Every single month sums up, and it sums to a lot over the years though, for something that used to be free. (And I’ve complained about subscriptions before, in the context of Adobe, which isn’t just dystopian anymore, it’s actually plain evil to demand 25,99€/month to use a singular program, that you can now no longer buy to actually own.)
And I know - I know - you can find free games online to download or play in browser (already did that for mahjong) - but I’m talking about the principle here. The principle of getting ads on your computer, directly, and to have to pay to no longer have ads and use something that had been a part of the Windows experience since… forever.
Maybe if we meme this hard enough he will have to make a public statement about how his name is not Jorkin Depeanus. This causing the general public to become aware of it and destroying any shred of hope he has left
I am going to keep it a buck. I am honestly surprised that liberals are actually trying to harm reduction logic a genocide. And not even the slow type of genocide that black people and Indigenous Americans are experiencing. Like a straight up, “we put a bunch of brown or ethnic people in a box and are giving someone the tools to light that motherfucker on fire” genocide. Not the type of genocide where it’s backed by a bunch of wealthy American entrepreneurs or the genocide that the state indirectly causes by consequence. No, it’s a simple fucking, “we are actively arming an ethnostate whose stated purpose is to wipe out a people and take their land” genocide. I joked about it at first and then there is a swath of white or privileged liberals who are like rationalizing it like wait, you aren’t meming? You’re seriously sliding down that slippery slope? My brother and sister in Satanael, what’s the point of keeping fascism at bay if the current ideology is blatantly aiding and abetting in genocide and ethnic cleansing?
And I’m serious. Call me naive but it’s straight up in your face, people. It’s not a genocide you aren’t aware of. It’s not a genocide that’s repressed by media. It’s not a genocide where you don’t see the before and after destruction. It’s the genocide that you see most of your politicians that you went to bat for unconsciously support. It’s the genocide where it could be stopped by the person whose in office because of your efforts but he is blithely supporting unconditionally. There have been several protests at his fucking doorstep. Businesses have been boycotted. Cities have called for a ceasefire. The motherfucking ICJ said y’all are probably doing a genocide so please stop killing Palestinians and they said we are going to dress as doctors and nurses and kill Palestinians who are paralyzed on top of killing 500 more Palestinians in response.
And y’all are trying to Vote Blue No Matter Who that shit? At this point, I can’t jive with y’all. No I can’t. Because I know that if push comes to shove, y’all about shit. Everything is this political game of chess and oppressed people and their struggles are your pawns. Fucking heartless.
It’s been almost a year since I wrote this and my sentiments have been exponentially increased.
All I have said and all I have ever said that you equivocated on genocide. You moved right on genocide. Somewhere along the line, you are okay with this. Project 2025 be damned, but a lot of you have not even flinched. This is just acceptable to you all now.
Okay.
So I don’t do purity politics. I am an anarchist. There is no person anyone can elect that I would have faith in to act in my best interest. They are not going to protect me from harmful laws. In fact, they will proudly legislate and bolster said harmful laws. I don’t trust them to propose bills that I support, amend them, or anything. Why? Because they aren’t you and I. That’s all I’m going to say. Have fun holding these people accountable after you elect them.
Oh look, photos of a massacre of Iraqis done by US Marines just got released just in time for Kamala to get endorsed by the man who helped create ISIS.
What alternative are you proposing? Seriously, what do you think these people could have done? Do you think that there is any way for them to convince the President to change his mind? What should they do instead of harm reduction?
There is not enough political will or ability in most of these people to even vote for anything in the sham elections much less do something more useful.
I was about to let this fly because honestly, I am sick of it.
What alternative am I proposing?
First, I am not your fucking organizer. I keep saying this but if you need me to be your activist and guide, my going rate is 8k a month and I expect 4k upfront. Straight cash.
Second, never in this thread have I suggested doing anything. In fact, my main criticism of do nothing liberals who love strapping this idea that you are helpless is to merely look at how far you compromised. In 2020, you lied to yourselves and said you would push Biden left. I’ve always been critical of that because I know Joe and that motherfucker does not change towards the left. That asshole becomes more conservative. For 60 years! But you all were so sure, and you went back to brunch. But I digress. My point has always been how far you changed to appease the Democratic Party. Where is the redline for you because that motherfucker seems to moved to a completely different meta planar reality. Genocide? That’s no longer your line anymore and that should fucking horrify you. It would horrify me if me from four years ago saw me in the present stumping for a campaign built on eradicating people of Palestinian descent because somehow I convinced myself that the other option was somehow worse.
You interrogate me not because you truly seek resolve, but because you don’t like what the mirror is reflecting back at you when you look at it. So you want to shatter it. Feel validated that you are making a moral judgement and I am just some criterion on the internet who doesn’t know what he is talking about. Sure.
I am not here to tell you what’s right or wrong because such value assessments are irrelevant in the face of a reality where a party made it a point to be insistently blithe and feign obviousness towards a genocide that they are actively aiding and abetting. The moral depravity of feigning ignorance of it all or just throwing your hands up because ‘what can you do’ apathy is already a bit underwhelming enough. So no judgement here, I am going to end this monologue with a crude, “shut the fuck up” and a definitive “figure it out yourself.”
You have assumed that I am a liberal and that I support the Democrats
While this is a sensible assumption to make, it is not correct.
I drew the line long before genocide
I never thought that Biden (or any other important democrat) was anything more than a corporate interest meat puppet
I understand your frustration
I’m just saying that the liberals won’t do anything else because they barely even manage to do this pathetic excuse of participation. A large protest that blocks important parts of the government is far more useful at making change happen than any vote.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not happen because a democrat president was “pushed left” and the Palestinian genocide won’t end because of that either.
It’s kind of aggravating that online discussions of medicine as an institution suck so bad. I want to be able to call the whole thing evil bullshit without being accused of believing “bathtub” medicine is the solution to all of our problems.
There are so many issues with medicine that you’d expect the left to be concerned about… over reliance on single use plastics… certain treatment, medication, or equipment being obtained through unethical/exploitative means… doctors sexually exploiting patients… racism, fatphobia, & transphobia leading to medical neglect… elder abuse… mistreatment of addicts and anyone perceived to be “drug seeking”… pathologizing radical political beliefs & occasionally institutionalization of these individuals… & many more issues
If you make the observation that a lot of these issues are caused or exacerbated by hierarchies then people assume you want every sick and disabled person to die. It’s such an unimaginative response to defend the status quo that, currently, kills sick and disabled people, rather than take these issues seriously & encourage people to find ways that make life saving treatment for accessible and sustainable.
it’s so fun seeing all this poetry on tumblr about “gods” when everyone’s concept of a “god” is just a superhero who’ll die from a lack of attention, and mine is a maximally great being.
why does viva la vida by coldplay always go so hard. i hear those opening strings and instantly im a cynical and mournful king walking through his overthrown kingdom like oh shit I totally did used to rule the world!!!
