tubi is one of our greatest warriors in the fight against streaming services costing a fortune for mediocre content. tubi has the most insane collection of movies you will ever encounter all for free. it has cult classics and questionable lifetime movies and movies that nobody except like three people on the planet have ever seen. tubi has movies that doesn’t exist. like if you just thought of a movie one day but never made it and no one ever made it it would somehow still exist on tubi. one day i will log onto tubitv dot com and i will see terribly inappropriate, overly complex, and strange on there. and i won’t even be surprised.

Tubi is where I found this gem:

Lex after years of being overly invested in trying to set up Clark and Lana from his cuck control center decided to turn the tables and cuck tf out of Clark and I have to respect that

[kookyburrowing]

being autistic about Lex Luthor is wild because I unironically have thoughts like “ew no he would never” regarding like, people comparing him to Jeff Bezos. sorry but he simply would not. he’s way worse and in an entirely different way. also his clothes are better

[memecucker]

if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do... research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

[mala-taste]

If I were writing about firefighters I'd also, in addition to just reading about them, take advantage of Our Blessed Internet to ask actual firefighters about how shit works. I'd do the same for a minority I'm not a part of.

I remember when there was this LiveJournal community where you could just ask about anything you needed for your novel - medicine, professions, vehicles, how things function in country X - and people who knew something about that would answer.

We need to bring this back.

[mala-taste]

And apparently just this summer they DID bring it back - it's called Little Details and it's on Dreamwidth!!!!

Remember, a world where everyone stays in their own boxes and only writes about their own narrow demographic is straight up a goal for racists. If you ever find yourself attempting anti-racism so hard you've looped back to "functionally the same thing racists want", stop, take stock, and ask yourself where things went wrong.

Batman is human. that's a fact.

But I want them to hesitate

I want them to admit to themselves "he's human" and still double check, because they're not entirely sure if that's right

I want the JL to be anxious when there's dark corners,I want them to look twice when he does a move that they aren't entirely sure is humanly possible,I want them to file him inside their minds as "Human(?)" because they aren't sure he told them the truth

I want the criminals of Gotham to understand fundamentally that he's a human being,but also keep the lights on before going to sleep because they are afraid he'll come to them,I want them to be so afraid of him that he haunts them physiologically,I want the Penguin to double check lock doors,I want Bane sleeping with his lights on because he will come if it's down.

They know he's human,but they hesitate

Because Batman is bigger than the human that makes him,he's fear embody,no other human could be Batman because Bruce makes even gods rethink their words.

And he knows it,and finds it hilarious, because if him dressed as his biggest fear made grown men sleep with the lights on,then his mission is working just like it's supposed to.

Everyone doubts he's a real human,but no he's not a cryptid he's just weird like that

Bruce takes advantage of it nearly at every opportunity. He says it's to help the mask, but really there's a little boy beneath that cowl giggling.

So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.

Discovered last year I couldn’t look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.

Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.

-And I couldn’t spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.

Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.

And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and I’m still dealing with a vertigo migraine.

For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.

And it’s not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. There’s even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that won’t trigger eyestrain and headaches.

So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.

no thoughts, just dick having batfam comms open when he has to go on space missions and batfam going about their day with comms open for dick. however it does end up with everybody in everybody's business. tim and stephanie trying out different makeup styles. damian quietly talking to the animals. jason ranting about a new book he's reading. dick's commentating everything he hears when he can.

Every few minutes or so, Dick just says "Jay" and Jason, no matter what he's doing will answer with something. Even if they're mad at each other.

Lex Luthor in 1.04 “X-Ray”

“Don't worry, Roger. I'm going to give you a new identity. One that's a little less upstanding. Maybe a murderer. Maybe a drug dealer. Either way, you'll lose your job, your house, and your family.”

Let's talk about Lex Luthor for a moment.

Setting aside the fact that he's a villain and a Superman biggest number one fan who insists he's a hater, I genuinely think Lex might be one of the best bosses and CEO in DC Comics and possibly one of the biggest AI haters ever.

Think about it. Lex is a firm believer in human potential, to an almost absurd degree. He believes humanity has limitless potential and that humans are capable of conquering virtually any challenge through intelligence, determination, and innovation alone. With that mindset, it wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason LexCorp thrives is because he genuinely believes in both himself and the people he employs.

Now, the way he treats his employees varies from one continuity to another. It's debatable since he's still a villain, after all. But I like to think he treats competent employees fairly because he understands the value of human talent better than most people. To Lex, human potential is the most valuable resource in existence.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he banned generative AI throughout LexCorp. Why would a man obsessed with proving humanity's superiority want machines doing humanity's work? Lex would probably see AI as a shortcut that weakens the very thing he values most, human achievement.

That's part of what makes him such an interesting character. Beneath all the ego, pettiness, and obsession with Superman is someone who genuinely believes humanity can stand at the top of the universe through its own efforts. If only he wasn't so determined to prove that point by picking fights with a flying Samaritan in a red cape.

If Lex spent half as much energy nurturing humanity as he does trying to outdo Superman, he might actually become the greatest benefactor humanity has ever had. Which surprisingly does happen in the comic.

Deaged 20yo Bruce meeting 19yo Jason would be the most unhinged pairing I cannot begin to imagine how emotionally and psychologically messed up they could get

Jason: “—and then Joker killed me.”

20 year old Bruce, fresh off LoA training: “So then you killed him, right?”

Jason: “What? No. You told me I couldn’t.”

Bruce: “Huh.”

Jason: “You don’t kill people. It’s kind of your rule.”

Bruce, letting out a bitter laugh: “Really?”

Jason: “Why are you laughing?”

Bruce: “I’ve killed people, Jason. A lot of people.”

Jason:

Additional donations will go to fresh produce and proteins as food stamps didn't pay out this month (apparently the ones I got mid-May were June's that were expedited and no one saw fit to tell me that).
