i got these knockoff boots online and instead of the brand name on the tag they have the name of an apparently nonexistent martin scorsese movie??? what the fuck
this post led to a series of events that had martin scorsese himself reacting to his alleged movie goncharov and it has less than 400k notes almost 3 years later?
We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.
This article states that the Israelis buried thousands of people who went to food distribution points without graves, without headstones, and without anyone knowing about them. This demonstrates the extent of the brutality of the Israeli occupation | X |
This reveals only one thing: the arrogance, tyranny, and brutality of the Zionist occupiers, who know only one thing in life: killing innocent Palestinians like us. They stole our land, displaced us, killed us, tortured us, and starved us. For two years now, this genocidal war has continued, even now.
Yes, even now, the killing continues, the starvation continues, and the shooting continues. As I write this post, the Zionist occupation forces are firing at tents and what remains of the houses. This is terrifying and horrific. Please save us from this genocide. Please donate to us.
Tumblr pushed out this announcement a few days ago as the tidal wave of "mature" content flagging hit everyone's dashboard and posts.
This passage here is really indigestible and not sitting well with me:
"Why We’re Doing This These updates help make Tumblr safer and more consistent for everyone. They will help protect users, especially younger audiences or anyone else who prefers not to see this content."
Umm... Why are you putting the burden on the majority of users when those primarily affected already have tools and recourse to enjoy a "safe" browsing experience?
Younger audiences...shouldn't be here engaging in the first place, per Tumblr's own terms of use during account creation, right?
Anyone else "who prefers not to see this content" can learn how to deploy a few little filters for their browsing pleasure in less time than it takes to clutch their pearls.
Let’s be honest: this notion of safety is performative pandering. It’s not about protecting anyone. It’s about putting up a front to appease advertisers. It’s about pretending to solve a problem instead of engaging with it responsibly. Parents—not platforms—are responsible for managing what their kids see online. Punishing adults for occupying adult spaces does nothing to make the internet safer; it just makes it emptier and duller.
This is exactly what Vox described as the “enshittification” of social media—where platforms degrade the user experience to chase vague corporate virtue and—of course, that McGinley of everything that was once beloved and became popular—profit. AI moderation and empty “community protection” rhetoric are part of that decline. They strip away nuance, creativity, and humanity in all its chaotic, but honest, glory.
Tumblr built its reputation as a home for artists, writers, and creators who express whimsical, wonderful, weird, and beautiful creativity running the gamut of human emotions and experiences. Now, those same creators are being silenced by a malfunctioning algorithm that cannot tell the difference between art, education, and obscenity. It’s hurting creators, diminishing visibility, and possibly placing them at risk of shadow bans or account restrictions—all because of poor automated moderation while ramming this really dangerous, puritanical vision of what is "appropriate" down our throats.
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.

Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)

One of my childhood friends who like me, was raised as a Zionist just rejected Israel Outdoor's birthright trip offer. We had stopped talking these last few months and she called to apologize and tell me she's not going in May because she's been wrestling with how to reconcile her faith with what Israel is doing. We stopped talking because she couldn't understand why I would do that and now she has come to this conclusion on her own.
This is such a big deal and such a big win for me and I wanted to share this because everyone should know that views can shift. It's definitely not easy and definitely not because of just me but it's possible.
Don't stop talking about Palestine. Don't stop spreading facts about Israel's violent occupation of Palestine.
Btw Israel Outdoors is absolutely disgusting. If you don't know, they recruit college kids on campus to go do birthright trips. They're huge Zionists who openly support the occupation and genocide.
She said one of the major turning points for her was watching Marione Ingram, a Holocaust survivor, get verbally assaulted by Zionists for saying that the people of Gaza are being genocided. And she was also shocked at the ADL defending Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute.
Zionism is antisemitism. Zionists will literally attack holocaust survivors (who have first hand experienced what the Palestinians are going through right now btw) just to defend their ethnostate
you will live to witness manmade horrors that are completely within your comprehension if you've paid any attention to a single piece of human history but are nevertheless still huge bummers
The thing I wanna talk about in relation to this fanbase mess is how Black men weaponize “the culture” against Black women. A BW raises a legitimate critique, and instead of addressing it, the conversation pivots to questioning her loyalty to Blackness.
As soon as Baby Shaft realized he couldn’t answer
@chescaleigh
question, he dug through her digital archives to exploit her decade-old marriage to a white man.
Yall did the same shit to Anita Hill. tried to position her as a race traitor. 🧵
In the 90s, Anita Hill, a Black woman, testified that Thomas had sexually harassed her when they worked together. Instead of supporting her, many Black people (especially Black men) rallied behind him.
The media narrative became that Hill was betraying a Black man’s success. People called her a pawn for white interests. Something something buying NBC.
They made her integrity, her motives, and even her personal life the focus … just like Isaac Hayes pt 3 tried to do yesterday. 2/4
But once Thomas was confirmed, what did he do? He spent decades on the Supreme Court gutting policies that protected Black people. Those same men who defended him didn’t keep that same energy when he sided with conservatives against Black communities.
That’s the pattern: Black men will rally behind another Black man just long enough to dispose of the Black woman challenging him … only to be left with a 🥷🏾 who does nothing for them in the end. 3/4
This is why I don’t take these performances of “protecting Blackness” seriously. Because more often than not, it’s not about protecting us. It’s about protecting their own unchecked power, even at the expense of the very people who fight for them the most. That’s why I have been simping for white men because unlike most black men and white women they don’t backstab black women regardless if they’re good or bad they’re real with it . If I was in the woods with a black guy, a white girl and a white guy I would feel more safer with the white guy like women feel safer around bears than any man .
Miss me w that MLM bullshit. /fin.
i love you USPS I love you NASA i love you taxpayer funded services that actually contribute positively to society i love you libraries i love you public transport
it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.
i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.
the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.
they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?
but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.
so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.
the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.
the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."
the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.
"there is no personal space when it comes to vet med" idk if you mean with owners or pets but I FEEL THAT I work in hospitality not vet care but people will fucking walk within a foot of me to ask questions and I'm like bro. Please. Personal space???
Oh no, worse than that. Sometimes you need 2 or even 3 people to help restrain a really hyper dog for something short like a blood draw and there's not a lot of room around a dog for 3 human bodies to fit so your face will be right by someone's butt or your knee might be in someone else's crotch. Or with a small squirmy dog where doc needs to listen to the heart but you need to hold it against your body there's a good chance the stethoscope-holding hand is going to hit your chest.
And sometimes you're holding a dog or cat for an exam and the owner is trying to comfort them by petting them and suddenly they're petting you too (they generally don't realize this)
Or when the owner doesn't hand you the small dog so you have to reach into their embrace for the dog and are basically guaranteed to accidently cop a feel.
"You can take him!" Or... you could put him on the table so I can get hold of him and not *you*????
-client with tiny yorkie tucked IN HER BRA and his foot got stuck and she absolutely could not get him out and he was scratching her and she started crying so yeah...I unhooked the dog's hock from her bra
-my tech was holding a big somewhat aggressive rottie who was, unfortunately, only actually handleable if the client was holding her head. client proceeded to fart. in my tech's face. I felt so bad
-too many cats that velcro onto their human or the tech when you try to examine them so you have to either examine them with their tiny needle claws dug into the human's shoulder (inevitably copping a feel) or having to peel the poor kitty off the person while getting in REAL close and often pulling clothing in very awkward ways
then there's the unfortunate times you need to provide canine sex ed to clients who are not breeders, have no interest in breeding, and had no idea that their neutered dogs could still have sexual reactions. this means I've had to:
-inform one client that his dog was, in fact, sucking himself off (I said it nicer than that; the client's response was, "Oh. oh I'm rather proud of him actually.");
-another that yes, prostate stimulation will cause erections when I was doing a rectal exam and she was really confused about that and then had the revelation about how anal penetration works for men in real time in the exam room;
-and just today, that yes, neutered male dogs will still hump other dogs and can in fact get erections and sometimes you need to lube those penises up and stuff them back in if they won't fix themselves or your dog needs to come in for urgent care. she sighed, looked at her husband, and said, "well, I guess we need to go buy some KY."
vet med is, inevitably, a source of awkward amusement and it never gets old
