Iron Man. That’s kind of catchy, it’s got a nice ring to it. I mean, it’s not technically accurate. The suit’s a gold titanium alloy, but it’s kind of evocative, the imagery anyway.

Marvel fandom, the greatest hit singles (@folks who may have trouble interpreting sarcasm, this is not good things about the marvel fandom but awful awful things)

Bucky getting tortured is so sexy (what is consent?)

It’s not that we’re racist, the black characters just aren’t interesting

I have to erase them being disabled because otherwise it disgusts me!

Stealing and controlling people’s prosthetic limbs is hilarious

Wanda and Pietro don’t need to be Romani (it’s not a race thing)

There’s already Black Widow, more women is just pandering to feminists

Magneto is evil and just as bad as the people who hurt him!

Trans people? In my comics?

Sam Wilson is obviously Hydra

Why do they need to say they’re gay? Labels are for soup cans

[silversarcasm]

Yeah he’s a neo-nazi but he meant well

Lets turn hailing a neo-nazi group into a meme!

[rolaren-deactivated20190821]

Obsessing over white women like Natasha Romanoff and Kate Bishop and Carol Danvers while ignoring the equally great WOC like America Chavez and Kamala Khan

Only bringing up characters of color for the sake of arguing Marvel’s superiority over DC

COULSON COULSON COULSON (Who is Maria Hill?)

Comparing Peggy Carter to Red Skull

Nick Fury is also obviously Hydra, somehow

I’m crazy about Evans. I really am. I don’t know why or how to explain this particular kinship we have. By the way, he hasn’t called me in six months.

there are SO MANY marvel/dc ~genderbends bc people are like yeah there’s way too many dudes here so what if they were girls that’d be better BUT there’s like NO MATERIAL WHATSOEVER ft trans girls or trans femme hcs despite all the genderbends and recognition of the amount of dudes being ridiculous?? and the comic canon itself (at least in marvel from what I know) is decidedly lacking in positive representation like that and…idk I know the fandom as a whole is Very Cis from personal experience but like. please

What she says: “I’m fine”

What she means: “American Sniper is being praised by thousands of people and no one will listen to the fact that it is racist propaganda.”

The Cheapest Generation: Why Aren’t Millennials Buying Cars or Houses?

What if Millennials’ aversion to car-buying isn’t a temporary side effect of the recession, but part of a permanent generational shift in tastes and spending habits? It’s a question that applies not only to cars, but to several other traditional categories of big spending—most notably, housing. And its answer has large implications for the future shape of the economy—and for the speed of recovery.

It’s safe to say that a decent number of Tumblr users are a part of the Millennial generation. So, tell us: Do you own a car or house? If not, why?

IT’S BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DISPOSABLE INCOME YOU THUNDERING IDIOTS. Fucking preference has nothing to do with it. 50% of college graduates have no job! They all have the most student loan debt ever! What are you asking this question for?!

Also: housing is a good bit more expensive now.

My parents got a 15-year mortgage on a new house in the mid-70s. The house was $32,000. Average home price in that area now? $190,000.

So, home prices went up. Food prices went up. Health care prices went WAY UP. Rent prices went up. Higher education went up so damn high that some of us forgo that all together. Energy prices went up. Car prices went up.

Prices of prices went up.

We also pay cell phone bills, internet bills, data plans, text plans, online subscriptions, cable/satellite tv, netflix, DVR subscriptions — bills that didn’t even exist 30-40 years ago. We also use computers and smartphones and microwaves and other consumer electronics that didn’t exist 20-50 years ago.

We need medications and doctors and contact lenses and tampons and maxi pads and other things that cost money just to be alive and keep us healthy.

Most of us can’t afford to:

Get married and have a “Traditional” big wedding

Buy a house

Buy a new car

PLAN to have children

Take two, consecutive weeks of vacation.

Jobs that paid 50k in the late 1990s now pay between 30-35. Interest rates that favor consumers have gone down.

So I say, no. We are not choosing not to buy homes. We’re not choosing to take the bus in cities where there’s no good public transit. WE ARE NOT CHOOSING TO LIVE WHAT SOCIETY DEEMS AS AN UNDESIRABLE LIFESTYLE.

Don’t even get me started on the fact that these two people in the picture are young white hipsters. Young black and brown folks have been forgoing homeownership and buying new cars for decades, this shit isn’t new, pal. You’re just acting like this shit is new because it’s hitting white folks.

anyway, my point is: We are fucking broke.

read the commentary above ^^

"Hey. Hey, guys. I know the economy being fucked up is totally our fault, but what if we tell people the next generation…wants to be poor?”

every time i see this i think it’s so funny because boomers are the most delusional people on earth

there was a period between 1950 and 1990 where most americans could afford a house and a car and a big wedding and so on and suddenly that’s “traditional”. presumably our grandparents who got married in clapboard churches and walked to work and lived in cramped apartments were also wacky nonconformists

Beyoncé used her Grammy performance to send a powerful message about race

Beyoncé could have performed any of the hit songs from her critically-acclaimed, self-titled album, which ultimately was snubbed for album of the year on Sunday. But instead, the world’s biggest pop star used her platform to send America a profound wake-up call on behalf of racial justice.
