revamping bc wtf was I ON

[patt-off]

oh your pronouns are he/they?

well that’s mathematically incorrect becuase you can still simplify the fraction since both sides have “he”

making your pronouns technically 1/ty

if anyone missed the last meme cycle, a short summary:

1. some rich guy publicly and horribly mismanages one of the biggest social medias.

2. on our social media site, a collective strategy is developed to forcibly worsen the public image.

3. the usual metaphor is a reference to an older post, 'firing gunshots to keep property values low' by being as classically cringe as possible. mimicking fandom language from a decade ago is a common tactic.

4. our staff engage in similar linguistic behavior, and mock pay-to-win social media by offering, apparently unlimited, purchasable verification check marks.

3. a person named evil mario 666 develops the specific skill of making posts so painful to read, that anyone who suspects theyre being serious runs for the hills.

4. everyone here is in on the joke. evil mario post is now the public face of our site

5. pikachu mask guy ad is back

Won't lie, I've been on Tumblr for a decade now and I've given this website a lot of flack for the stupid stuff it's done, but watching it take unabashed potshots at Twitter like this is making me kinda proud. Like I set up real estate here in 2013, suffered through years of stupid policy revisions and new re-zoning laws, and now we all get to come together as a community and shit on all the people in the city and their new idiot mayor. I've never felt this kind of camaraderie on this website before and honestly I kinda hope it never ends.

one of my fave things about tumblr is when we all become obsessed with a piece of media, like Dracula by Bram Stoker, or Goncharov by Martin Scorsese

[nitrosplicer]

if this happened to me I would simply be fine with it

[heronbrew]

Has this been done yet?

[mossflower-deactivated20241211]

i think you should get one blue check mark, whether u like it or not, for every year u have been on tumblr. and then if you hate that you you can pay eight dollars to have them taken away. but i don’t think twitter users coming here have earned the RIGHT to a blue check mark yet. they haven’t done their time

[creekfiend]

I think you should be able to give the checkmarks to other people, nonconsentually

[urparty]

tumblr selling blue checkmarks for $8 at a two for the price of one on twitter rate with a disclaimer that theyre completely meaningless is so funny im sorry to become a tumblr staff defender in 2022 but whoever is coming up with this shit im kissing u on the mouth

since goncharov (1973) is now having a rennaisance on tumblr for some reason, i would love to share a fun fact about the inspiration for this film. even though its set in the 20th century, the inspiration for the story actually comes from a 19th century theatre play written by none other than the most famous czech playwright Jára Cimrman! Even though there is some discourse about this in the level of connection between these two works of art, there is no doubt that the struggle and emotional journey of Goncharov really reflects the one of the titular character of the play, Hloupý Honza. Therefore it's quite clear where the idea for the film comes from. I would even say that the transformation into a new medium and time setting really bring out a more subtle themes of the play to light. If you are interested, the play is actually free on youtube with english subtitles

great work everyone

thank you elon musk for acting out, in perfect clarity and at great personal expense, my longtime fantasy of watching an evil billionaire completely destroy their financial empire and then publicly kill themselves. please dont forget the second part
