Mid-year 2026 update (this is without tax):

[slightlyirritable]

Remember this the next time someone argues that raising the minimum wage will raise prices

[bethanyactually]

to be clear, the U.S. federal minimum wage in 1999 was $5.15/hour, so a worker who made the minimum wage could buy the items on that receipt with 41 minutes of work.

in 2026, the federal minumum wage is $7.25, so a worker who makes minimum wage would have to work 95 minutes--more than twice as long--to buy those same items.

I have the baseless headcanon that Mary Poppins is Maleficent.

Maleficent reforms sometime in the fourteenth century, greatly reduced. She wanders the countryside in the shape of a harridan, another bogeyman to warn children of.

The peasantry - who remember Maleficent as the fey who inexplicably sent her minions to inspect every cradle in the kingdom - think that she is another of these goblins.

They call her La Mauvaise Paysanne.

***

She arrives in England in the eighteenth century on the back of a fairy tale.

Fairies take the shape of the stories told about them. The myth has changed, and so has she. She takes the shape of an enchantress, the punisher of naughty children, the rewarder of the good.

The English people call her the Merry Peasant.

***

By the nineteenth century, the edges of her myth have been sanded off entirely. She’s known as a fairy godmother who blesses good children.

She doesn’t mind this, but when she gets the chance to reshape her wand, she gives it a crow’s head in memory of her old familiar.

They’ve started calling her Mary Pauper.

***

By the twentieth century, Mary Poppins is more powerful than she’s been in centuries.

She’s also changed completely. She understands this to her core, and mostly she’s fine with it.

She misses it every now and then, of course. The palace, the minions, the mistress of all evil. She sniffs and says these are are ridiculous thoughts, but she thinks them nevertheless.

This is partly why she enjoys being a nanny. It’s a good compromise. She can be strict but fair with her charges, and every now and then she meets a particularly incorrigible parent who she can curse into oblivion.

this is VERY funny and I don't want to step on the gag but as a former food service worker I simply cannot NOT explain the place crushed Oreo cookies have in the service industry because I think it's really cool, actually

So Oreos! Truly a 100+ year old institution (although we can argue about whether Hydrox came first/are better but that's not what this is about). Oreo was manufacturing using pretty modern equipment very early on right here in beautiful Manhattan in the old Nabisco factory that is now Chelsea Market. But an unfortunate issue with mass producing millions of very thin, very fragile crisp cookies is breakage. A lot of the wafers (the chocolate part) will crack or crumble before reaching the end of the production line. The machinery can be adjusted to reduce breakage but the nature of the wafer means breakage will never be zero. Sometimes the cookie gets to the sandwiching stage & filled with the creme before it cracks, but more often it breaks before then. That's why you have some bits with creme and some without.

So what does a cookie company do with all the broken pieces? The dough is already cooked at that point so it can't be reused to form more cookies. So Oreo comes up with a plan: develop recipes and alternative uses so they can sell the crushed cookies, too. This happens a lot in manufacturing! Leftover bits are repurposed for other products to reduce waste and cost. Probably the most famous example is animal feed; the husks and rinds and cast-offs from human food production often get processed into animal food.

Sadly this means most commercial Oreo dust is a pre-crushed situation. I grew up working in my family's restaurant and the Oreo pieces would arrive in sealed plastic bag inside a big box. We'd use them for pie crusts and dessert toppings. Being a sneaky lil shit, I'd sometimes dip a soup spoon into the Oreo dust and take one big, chocolatey bite as a snack. No need to crush them by hand.

Sorry to add real-world facts to a very good bit. I just really love manufacturing. And cookies.

Hello friends we need to talk about this twitter account:

You might know him from a thread where he was getting wowed by free appetisers in a Mexican restaurant.

Firstly: He is doing a bit pretending to be a wandering samurai. It's a joke and his posts are all made up. This is very obvious if you actually look at his account and website:

He does purport to be Japanese but based on some of the other content he posts there's reason to believe he's British.

Which brings me to my second point: his Samurai content is interspersed with posts like this:

And this:

He is not cute or funny. Stop platforming him.

i was rewatching a couple of scenes from Avatar (the blue aliens) and i was merveling at how little of a legacy that movie seemed to have left even though it was the highest grossing movie of its time, reaching 2,8 billion dollars world wide.

we all know the video right?

most people can barely name even a single character from that movie. i mean, i can because im a terminally online nerd who stuffs her head with useless trivia 24/7 but generally this movie didnt seem to have made any kind of impact.

and then i reached one particular scene.

now…

avatar came out in 2010, eleven years ago

that means the kids who saw that movie when it came out (of which there were lots, remember, 2.8 billion dollars) would all be in their twenties by now

now lets all think very very hard, what type of woman has become very popular in media as of late?

oh

NYC Mainstage Recap!

Good old fashioned sex hospital set up!

Rumors of human gentleman being with the Dictator

No new rules, but outside screens were calling different prisoner numbers to different gates

Sidescreen view is a prison cell, have to check if its the same as philly

Janitor sweeping, broom guy, male twin soldiers, regular pills line up, Nurse Sylvia singing

Ray took pills no problem, Mikey fed Clerk the pills, Frank made the Clerk shove the pills into his crotch, Clerk stepped back in shock when seeing G, then G took pills normal style

Second Clerk is there!

No Woodpecker Solo

“I can’t see you, but I can HEAR YOU!” G before disappear

G said “This song is called This Is How I Disappear” before Disappear (ofc). I’m personally taking this as a lore filled character choice

Orb time! G goes “blhblhblh” into mic before. All slowly moving into orb. Ray brought his guitar with. G refused to read the card. Clerk adjusting them

The Director (Secretary) seemed concerned that the Clerk 2 was standing behind her

Gerard talked to one of the cloak guys and then wrote something onto the side of the podium during pre WTTBP dialogue. Soldiers simply helping G onto podium. Clerk showing how to fist pump, but G already knew it. (current drawing theory is a single tally mark)

Clerk has tray and Frank is lurking in back. Second Clerk is watching them. Director has her newspaper and is sitting on the cuck chair. G does the airplane dance

Tray crew is still interacting during Disappear. Clerk 2 wagged his finger at the Clerk. 

End of song Director took out tickets, handed them to Clerk, and he started FREAKING out with excitement. Chair drag was pretty straightfaced, determined, and cunty. SLAMMED it in front of Clerk 2 and stared him down

G took the jacket off for wolves

Ray looks hot tonight and i need you all to know that. 

I also need you all to know that he was playing to her during Wolves. At one point he looked her in the eyes, took a second, then shook his head. 

Gentleman delivery! Having him dance with the Clerk. Clerk picks up card from floor, points at it like you should read it! Looks sad and a bit angry, crumples it up and throws it in the crowd

Dropped the Gentleman on the floor during Cancer. Flinging him around!! Terrible for babies!!

Heavy Draagcent for Dagger. We came from pretty far away. Talking about flying on airplances, getting too many drinks, and literally flying the plane. They tell jokes, but theyre gonna sing right now. My treasonous deeds/plan of ours needs/animal needs. “We’d laugh and we’d point at them all” then quick giggle. 

Clerk doing jig

Ray apparently cleaning where the Director put her chair!! 

Seems like Sylvia did the la la las but they didn’t turn the mic on. She’s their assistant. Their assistant! Poof goodbye! G loves to drive a car? Going through the magic words (or numbers) for the trick (counting her in) You’re really good! We could get it louder though! G screaming and crying and giggling out of Mama. “That was great! That was so great! Thank you Doctor! So great! (something) That was very special”. Doctor Sylvia bending down 

They started playing the Gentleman Castle visuals during Bluesky. 100% just an error… unless

Clerk getting outlined. Why is he laying so cunty. Got one leg bent in. HE’S OUTLINING G NOW?? RIGHT NEXT TO HIM? THEY’RE LAYING IN THEIR OUTLINES TOGETHER?? Clerk nudges G’s hand, they do some motion (pointing to camera?), now they’re seemingly chatting. Friends!

somehow No One in the “catch everything that happens” group caught the jacket confrontation. whoops.

No tyranny tonight

PHANTOM!

As we got confirmed for us, Gentleman’s Castle tonight

Clerk hyped up and jumping around during Teenagers! He danced offstage

A robotic voice said “Comrade” during the speech before Disenchanted

Heinrich is back for Disenchanted

FLARE OUT FOR FLW!!! “LET’S GO MOTHERFUCKERS!!”

Also I didn’t mention this but at some point there was apparently people with cloaks and gentleman masks skulking around the crowd. Whether that was fans or not remains to be determined

Ray and Frank playing with each other during FLW. G and Mikey siblings moment. This song is designed to kill by being so Live Life

“I’m coming for you” ???

WTTBP reprise again

FRANK FUCKING HIS GUITAR ON THE FLOOR A LITTLE BIT!!! Knocking on it to see if it’s alive maybe?? Moving the dial thing in circles. Just chaos idfk

Dr Sylvia coming  out for end of reprise. Ray limping off while being taken off by soldier. Sylvia and G interact. Hospital is out! Ray saw the Clerk 2 as he left! Clerk two was following them out btw. Secretary and Bear out for dead wife montage. Cloaked figures too. Put something in his mouth?? Pills?? Playing with his bear, kinda having him do the Blood dance, Director moves her dagger to the beat. Made him watch his montage. COAT DR G IS OUT!!! G basking in the light, has the dagger. TOPPING HIM!! WAVING TO EACHOTHER! EYE CONTACT AND NODS OF YEAH IM DOING THIS. STABBING HIM. BLOOD EVERYTHHERE> WRITHING IN PAIN. GRABBING DAGGER AND HOLDING IT. GUTS OUT! PULLED OUT HIS HEART// BLOOD SPURTING1 ARMS UP1 HOLDING TO HEART. LOOKING AT CLERK LIKE HE SHOULD BE GRARTEFUL. BITING HEART LIKE APPLE. LAYING ON HIM. PHONE NOISE. FUCK

[dylchillvill]

what was this movie even 

[eddiemoonson]

A cinematic masterpiece.

[angremlin-deactivated20250312]

I CANNOT stress enough that in the Spy Kids films, Danny Trejo is literally playing his titular character from the Machete movies, who happens to be the kids’ uncle, because the movies have the same director

[lang-wich]

what this reply misses is that Machete originated *in* Spy Kids. the Machete movies are Spy Kids spinoffs

[hobgoblinhero]

I think it’s important to make clear that Robert Rodriguez, the director, says that Spy Kids and Machete are alternate universe versions of each other , while Danny Trejo, the actor, says that what happens in Machete is just what he does when he’s not hanging out with the kids

straight white people making a romance movie: haha what if it was illegal to have sex? wait what's lawrence v texas. wait what's mclaughlin v florida. wait what's loving v virginia

[ninewheels]

As preposterous and stupid as this fucking movie's premise sounded (for a light-hearted rom-com, and not The Handmaid's Tale) I didn't want to think about it too much until the movie actually came out, and then I could see if it was somehow more intelligent and subversive than the trailer let on, but guess what, it's even worse!

One Night Only review: Pull out from this sex-negative rom-com

If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.

Sex workers are thrown under the bus, shown only as thieves who fleece men in the woods at night, while queer sexuality is relegated to a few scenes with Allie’s roommate (a woefully underused Quintessa Swindell) and a handful of pans past blurry same-sex extras making out in the background. “This night is for the straights,” Swindell’s character says to Allie, before saying that queer people have worked around straight laws for centuries.  This is supposed to be a nod to queer resilience, but largely comes off as straightwashing the history of anti-LGBTQ legislation in this country that led towards raids of queer clubs and incarceration of queer people in the not-too-distant past (let alone the current barrage of anti-Trans and LGBTQ legislation currently in the works and on the books). It’s also ignorant of the long and fraught fight for the normalization of age-of-consent laws, which, by the way, did not happen in all states in this very country until 2003. Yes, that’s not even thirty years ago.  By the end, our intrepid protagonists have not had sex with anyone, because this is a film about Romance with a Capital R (and I guess sex is not part of romance!) and for that very same reason they ultimately embrace the fascist state of things. They aren’t the only ones who refuse to fight back. No one in this cursed film is protesting this mandate beyond “repeal” signs in various windows and some creative graffiti (...) (...) If we are supposed to believe that the film is making some subversive statement about the state of sex and bodily autonomy in this country, it cannot end with its leads embracing their chains. That’s just warmed-over conservatism running around in sheep’s clothing.

[nepenthean-sleep]

yeah i wrote this post having only seen the trailer, but jesus christ. was this movie a psyop LMAO??

also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!

like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.

the premise could have been interesting as a serious dystopian story, especially taking that history into account, but it wasn't written that way at all. this movie should never have been a fucking romcom making light of the violence the united states (and many other countries) has enacted on any kinds of sexual relationships it deems undesirable.

[nepenthean-sleep]

can y’all maybe reblog this version i feel like people are forgetting about the racism and just focusing on the homophobia

[theorahsart]

Here's a comic breaking down some myths about Robespierre, The Terror, and *why* he died. This explanation is still pretty simplified, but I hope it can show why many of us talk about his downfall with such sadness. It can seem confusing if you've been taught a certain narrative.

In comparison to some of my other non fiction comics, this one is honestly a little more biased... but heck, it's Thermidor, and Robespierre's memory is indeed dear enough to me that I want to defend it.
