internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
date of origin: 13th of april, 2015.
happy 10 year anniversary!
This post.
This fucking post.
It is in some ways, the only piece of evidence I have that there was a time Before.
please read this substack about pantone choosing cloud dancer for color of the year 2026
No really, you should read it.
you know what has sincerely irked me ever since I saw the announcement?
the shade.....is inconsistent across the marketing.
this image is the main one for most of the announcements about it:
enhance
enhance some more
now let's look at the actual swatch
IT'S NOT THE SAME. THEY'RE DIFFERENT COLORS. I WILL PUT THEM SIDE BY SIDE TO PROVE IT:
those are two completely different colors. literally. those are not the same color. the one in the ad is distinctly more warm toned & brighter!!!!!!!!
LIESSSSSSSS
I'm even angrier now, I mean people were saying it was just Landlord White but that really truly is Landlord White. All the colour scientists in the world got together to determine which shade of white-ish was the most depressing shade possible. Which shade made people look at it and instinctively think "I am staring at the wall of a for-profit prison into which I have been confined on false charges". And they gazed upon what they had wrought and realised that there was no justifying their decision to the public, so they straightup lied about what their decision was in the press release. And the pit they had dug themselves was so deep that even their significantly better lie drew universal disdain.
When medusa has sex are the snakes weird for the other person? I don't mean in an "ewww snakes" or "ewww monster" way, I mean like in the same way as if someone has a bunch of little cats or dogs staring at you the whole time
Im just saying unless she wears a big hat or you wear a blindfold there are only so many positions where this isn't your view the whole time
You know those videos that talk about things in Japan that are "mindblowing" (often they're not that common or just small little touches). Well fuck it, here's a load of things that I think will blow people's minds about the UK that are just common knowledge here.
If you find a road that's oddly straight out in the countryside, chances are it was originally a Roman road. Several Major roads and sections of motorway follow the route of Roman Roads. There's a Roman Road that goes under the end of my street, part of it is still in use.
Every hour, on the hour, BBC radio 4 plays a series of beeps that tell you when it's exactly on the hour so you can set your clocks and watches.
We have a TV show made for Amateur Astronomers that has been going on since 1957. They cover major events and discoveries in Astronomy.
We have a Gameshow called Countdown wherein people take semi random letters and try create the longest word they can from it, and then take semi random numbers and try to use them to get to a random number. It is one of the Longest running and popular daytime gameshows and is a national treasure.
In Scotland, a lot of our chip shops were/are opened by Italians or people of Italian descent, so you can also get pizza there. Haggis pizza is a common menu item and it slaps.
The controllers in charge of the power grid have to watch every major soap opera and sports event because when the event ends or goes to commercial break, so many people get up to go make a cup of tea it risks a blackout, so they have to use Pumped storage stations to generate more power. There's one of these power stations near Wales's Highest Mountain and one at Loch Ness.
Every major channel rehearses for the death of the current monarch so they don't fuck it up. Under the news desk at the BBC, there's a black tie for the men and a black cardigan for the women that they put on if a major royal dies. You can see this happen if you watch the footage.
The government announces tests of the EAS system in advance so people know that A) it's a test, don't panic and B) so people with hidden phones (like abused spouses) can turn them off.
Our lifeboat and lifeguard service, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, is completely volunteer run and funded through donations. Volunteers have to have pagers on them that ring if they're called up so they can run to the boats and rescue people. They're often in remote areas, and they're a common charity to raise money for because everyone agrees that they're not just heroic, but based as all fuck.
Most major supermarkets deliver, and by that I don't mean "you can send a gig-worker to do your shopping", I mean Tesco, Sainsbury's, Iceland and ASDA all have fleets of official trucks where you can do your shopping online, a supermarket worker picks your stuff for you, and at a designated time someone comes and delivers your shopping. They're even a common site in rural areas.
It's a Christmas tradition to go to your local theater to see a Pantomime, which is basically a retelling of a fairy tale done by drag queens aimed at children, but with jokes for the adults and modern cultural references. Famous actors will often take part in these shows. It's a beloved Christmas tradition that's illegal in Tennessee.
BBC radio 4 Broadcasts a Special Weather Forecast for people who work at sea or even on the water. It's very technical and concise and people who do not work at sea or even live near any major body of water listen to it because it is very, very relaxing.
Ohhh good point @sweetlyfez , a thing about pantomime is that there’s specific call-and-responses. Children are trained to shout things at the actors at specific points, like if someone is creeping up behind a character, the audience all go “it’s behind you!” in a slightly creepily unified chorus. Like, the tone and cadence are always perfectly consistent.
But a thing about the UK is that people a) will show up to the opening of an envelope, b) will make the HELL out of a tradition or ritual. If it happens three times, it’s an official local ritual.
Rituals always contain a tremendous reliance on everyone’s willingness to participate and suspend cringe. Like the panto call-and-response, people are often surprisingly willing to do it.
So you can get a surprising number of people to do bonkers unified things like “hold hands with strangers and dance around a person dressed as a Green Man”. There was a “clap for the NHS” thing in lockdown (cringe, annoying) but people were willing. There’s a local ritual that involves stomping around a local apple orchard, wassailing it, and hanging toast on the branches. Everyone is tremendously engaged and serious about this. Crowds are generally quite willing to turn up and shout unified chants. During right-wing property vandalising outbreaks there were far more people turning up in anti-fash defence than there ever were fash, but what was most amusing about it was that anti-fash brought bands and snacks. Like within thirty minutes of people being outside systematically, there will start being self-organised predictable small Behaviours. When the shed blew down on my allotment, a collection of elderly people righted it and repaired it and brewed tea about it in about 30 minutes, including the time it took to stand around congratulating each other.
You can genuinely say, “turn up at 3 pm to a muddy field, we’re all going to scream at the sky. No, that’s it, literally that’s all I’m offering” and get 100 people in frigid winter to race willingly to a muddy field in awful weather with flasks of tea, alcohol, picnics, an impromptu cricket game, several more guests than you expected, and a really startling total willingness to scream like fools at the sky. Like YEAH SKY SCREAMING TIME. Let’s do it every Thursday at 4!!! And the thing is you’ll find yourself being like “oh man. I love Sky Screaming Time actually.”
Oh and the milk floats are electric
Mommy's going to take you out of the freezer and leave you in a room temperature environment, ok? Awww you're already dripping condensation... There's a puddle gathering at your base, my leaky little condensation slut.
can you put that on a coaster
No. I want her to see all her little circle stains on the table...
okay thats cute and all but this table was my grandmother's so i would really appreciate it if you could stop and actually consider other peoples belongings for 2 fucking seconds
horror is always like oh no they're possessed by a demon well what about possessed by an angel? angelic possession is also horror.
That's scarier I think. To know the possession is Necessary. That any attempt to stop it will lead to greater tragedy as the angel's divine mission is interrupted. So you just have to sit there. And watch something else puppet your friend's body.
#love it when people on this website inadvertently reinvent supernatural
never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.
Your regular reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel joke designed by the wealthy.
HE FOUND TUMBLR??????
I’ve been here the whole time.
Dear god, he's not kidding...
Hello bisexual community

Gangster Boss: Yer a sick fuck, Ferdinand. Love da way ya think!
Goon: 'ey boss, I notice dat de Hero of Light and Providence gets supplies in dem towns on da way to yer liar on the regular. You want me to go over dere to dem shops and uh *winks and clicks tongue* convince them to close up shop?
Overlord, embers gleaming inside his dark helm: ....make it so, Robert.
As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China
cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please
Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals
I own so many fantastic computer games thank you computer games I love you computer games

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen, and I will reblog it every single time because every single time it brings tears to my eyes.
