But yeah: this isn't only/REALLY religious; it's political. It's political because the "Protestantism" Brazilians are talking about, which their players are "converting" to, is the same "Protestantism" which supported Bolansaro's wicked regime and provided foot-soldiers for his attempted coup, which in turn is the same "Conservative Evangelicalism" bringing white-supremacy and fascism to the US today under the Republican party, which is In Reality merely The Republican Party picking up a bible and calling itself a religion.

These Players are caping for the SAME ANTIDEMOCRATIC, AntiEgalitarian, Pro-Aristocratic Beliefs that Brazilians kicked out of power 3 years ago, whether they know it or not. They're caping for Global Christofascist Conservatism, whether they know it or not. They're caping for US colonialism, Anglo colonialism, US domination of Brazil, and the FANTASY that their football skills -hard-earned over a lifetime of training and play- are actually in-born signs that god loves them more than everyone else.

And that, in the end, connects to them losing: they believes they didn't need to win the tournament themselves, that god had promised them the victory and would deliver it to them, so they didn't take it seriously and they got beat.

reminder that protestantism was popularized in brazil and in latin america as a whole by the cia as a way to counteract what they considered more progressive catholic church ideals during the cold war btw

There’s something truly exquisite about stories where the real tragedy is the price you paid to stand on top of the world

[faustandfurious]

Hollow victories … sacrificing your humanity on the altar of what you perceive to be the greater good … the loneliness of godhood … regret for the person you used to be … the realisation that there is no way back … *chef’s kiss*

Nature really went off with sperm whales. A 70-ton predator with teeth the size of a banana but it only eats squishy prey that it doesn’t even chew, it just schlorps them down whole like a vacuum cleaner. Big giant fat head full of goop. Tiniest fins in the world. Strong enough to smash a ship to pieces and smart enough to figure out how to do so but its first line of defense is just to shit everywhere. Possibly the most complex language in the animal kingdom and it creates sounds by blowing air through its internal right nostril (it uses the left one to breathe) into its giant fat head. It’s the loudest animal on the planet and might have the capability to create a beam of sound so loud it can shake your organs apart but they don’t seem to use that to hunt or fight. They’re highly flammable. We used them to make candles.

on this day, july 18th of 2026, i laid my dogass overheating constantly lagging reset addicted iphone xr with a battery health of 76% and a horribly cracked screen protector to rest. she had a clear case that turned smoker yellow from years of sun damage and was impervious to cleaning and i will not mourn the way she played music outside of my earbuds or refused to charge at all. goodnight you dumb motherfucker have fun at the verizon store

the poster that this incredible illustration is based on is extremely striking. but while searching for it, I also found earlier posters for conveying this message along with a corresponding one for summer, and I fucking love them. absolutely lovely graphic design work. (both are from 1924, artist is Austin Cooper)

the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)

[elodieunderglass]

I also like Edward McKnight Kauffer’s London Underground posters, the 1923 Natural History Museum one is such cool piece of visual art

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

[ms-demeanor]

I've 100% replaced free acrobat with the firefox built-in and it works wonderfully for general office use and research/reading/viewing. It doesn't have robust redaction capabilities, but if you need to fill and sign and highlight a form it's actually much more intuitive than acrobat reader.

I like that Daniel, Jack, and Teal'c all have some devastating backstory that led them to join sg-1. Jack was suicidal after his son died, and this is really the only thing that gives his life meaning, Daniel is looking for Sha're, Teal'c wants to free his people... But Sam? She's doing this for the love of the game. She lost her mom at an early age, and struggles at times to connect with people, but overall the reason she joined sg-1 was to do cool crap and learn.
