Stanislav Petrov, 'The Man Who Saved The World,' Dies At 77

Petrov was on overnight duty in 1983 when computers indicated the U.S. had launched a nuclear strike against his country. He had only a few

RIP to a quiet hero.

A good reminder in these times that even when powerful men act with impunity to do evil, tossing out callous orders left and right, that at the end of the day those powerful men often depend on ordinary, low-level workers to push a button somewhere, to flip a switch, to pull a trigger… and that those ordinary individuals have the power to say “no.” You can refuse to push the button, and you might save countless lives in the process.

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

one of the primary issues in the Beauty Privilege discourse is that every word for beauty/attractiveness that we now use as synonyms used to, as recently as a half century ago, be very strongly-defined semantic sisters meaning different things. you find this out quickly when reading victorian novels. "attractive" for instance didn't refer to physical appearance, but "beauty" and "prettiness" did, but weren't synonyms of each other, either. "handsome" was distinct from "beauty" and both were used to refer to men and women but meaning different things. "charming" was something else. etc. this created a healthy semantic ecology where people had stronger self-identification with various categories. maybe you weren't beautiful but you were absolutely charming. maybe you were a handsome woman (these still exist thank GOD). in modernity it's all been flattened into "hot or not" which is a category error because it's far more subjective than more granular and numerous definitions

Uh oh, another military conflict in the Middle East? Here's what you can do to help!

-Stay glued to your phone and social media, ensuring you see every atrocity from multiple angles in HD. Remember if you're not constantly refreshing your feed, something worse might happen!

-Make lots of posts about it. You should absolutely devote your time and energy to getting mad about it, and letting everyone around you know exactly how mad about it you are, lest they mistake your silence for approval.

-Fantasize about how this would never happen in your ideal political system. Pat yourself on the back knowing that if you were in charge, none of this would have gone down this way.

-Start a meaningless argument with a friend or family member. Neither of you have any control over the situation- but don't let that stop you from ruining your relationships with each other!

-Get out and vote!

i love that every pokémon is someone’s favourite pokémon. it doesn’t matter how much you dislike a pokémon or how forgettable you you think a design is, out there is someone who thinks it’s their baby. my coworker who only discovered pokémon through pokémon go absolutely loves tangela and has a small army of fully powered up ones. at an expo once i saw a woman at a booth desperately trying to find an onix plushie because it was her daughter’s absolute favourite. i talked with someone recently who announced sudowoodo as their tippy top favourite. every single one is loved by someone and idk, i think that’s gotdang heartwarming

I see you have encountered your first gimmick blog, official Pokemon tumblr account. A gimmick blog is an account that does one very specific thing. The gimmick blog you have encountered is of the detector type. This means it reblogs random posts, and checks to see if it has a specific thing. It reblogs the post with an image, containing the thing the blog is detecting, with a check mark over it if it has the thing it is searching for, and an x or crossed out circle over it if it does not. This specific blog searches for Bronzong. This post does not have Bronzong, so the account replied with a crossed out image of it.

Will this appease the gimmick blog?

Are lace-makers ever struck by the realisation that all the holes were already there before they started?

[batbetbitbotbut]

Fanciest lace I've ever made, just need to fill in the edges.

Due to the craftsmanship shown in this picture, the emperor has requested that you make all of his clothes out of that exact lace.
