like on the surface the west wing is a liberal bubblebath fantasy about what it would be like if competent good-hearted people were in charge of the government, but if you look a little closer it’s a deliberate deconstruction of the american myth emphasizing that the government is made up of individuals, each deeply flawed, and the only thing keeping this country from slipping into autocracy is when deeply flawed people commit to doing the right thing rather than the selfish thing, but if you look even closer it’s bradley whitford, john spencer, and martin sheen in “my two dads”

Ben Whishaw as Q 2012 / 2015 / 2021

I remember being in my trailer and just having a moment, and seeing the character’s clothes laid out there and my watch and socks and things, I [was] just like ‘Oh, my God. I’m… I’m Q now.’

apparently europeans have the impression that US Americans never learn the metric system.

[hymnsofheresy]

like our science curriculum from day one is entirely done in the metric system. we just don't use metric in our day to day lives.

[hymnsofheresy]

yeah actually we kinda just do it for the bit :)

[hymnsofheresy]

I have had people try to gently and kindly explain to me the workings of the metric system, as if Americans are having trouble with the concept of a base ten system. like no. we get it. we were taught this when we were like eight. it's just that like. we don't really wanna do it that way. for the bit.

[hymnsofheresy]

no no it's for the bit it's for the bit !!! it's for the bit!!!!!

When public services are affordable and convenient, people will always choose those resources. They are not supposed to be a capitalistic profit-seeking initiative, they are developed for the benefit of the people, for a better life, just as government resources should be used. (tweet)

[soul-hammered]

All presidents are bastards but it’s so fucked up that Nixon is beating Wilson and Hoover, who were worse by every measure

Also. Where are Washington and Reagan. Where is Clinton. Where is Dubya. Cowards

[chillgamesh-the-swing]

I can only assume if they were on the list they would sweep so hard we would be groaning about everyone ignoring hoover and wilson's atrocities instead
