Cloud of Obsessions

Mostly comics and pop culture reblogs. Some art.

I’m going to making a little bit of a change, moving over to a different blog as my primary location for posting: https://viewfromthelake.tumblr.com/

Probably to increase posting frequency as I ease off of Twitter.

et11obsessions/cloud of obsessions was never my “main” blog technically, as I’d started on Tumblr so many years ago with the idea of doing a blog made entirely of photos of pets laying on top of action figures. It’s been bugging me for a while that actionfiguresunderpets was my “primary” blog and there was no way to change this, so I decided to change the url and title of the action figures blog to viewfromthelake, so that the name that showed up when I like your stuff is the same as the name of my blog.

I love how Two hides and peeks around Three when addressed by what's essentially the god of their people

TIL that in 2004, a comedian went on television posing as a Dow Chemical executive, taking responsibility for the Bhopal chemical disaster, and promising $12 billion in compensation to victims. Dow immediately denied the promise and apology, but their stock value dropped by $2 billion in 23 minutes.

If you all don’t know about the Yes Men you really should check them out. They’re basically two generic looking white dudes who realized that by virtue of being generic looking white guys in Suits and being even moderately tech savvy in the early 2000s they could effectively con a wide variety of media outlets into thinking that they were legitimate representatives of whatever company they wanted, and utilized this platform mostly to critique and shame the companies they claimed to represent, and at the very least, severely publicly embarrass them, such as by offering to do a basic good thing and making the company go forward and publicly acknowledge something awful they caused AND openly admit that they refuse to take responsibility or to apologize of help, creating even more bad press for them and exposing them for the shit they are. Chaotic good shit.

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

Ol' Davey really just saw people rioting in the streets and went "Sweet! ACAB!"

[anarchistmemedistro]

bring this energy back

[hhhhammy]

Bonus points but Van Ronk is responsible for the arrangement that eventually became the modern version of House of the Rising Sun, so this dude is doubly cool

my mom didn't believe in lying to children so when I first asked about santa claus as a small child she was like "oh santa claus is another name for a man named saint nicholas who lived a long time ago. he was a very kind and generous man and he loved giving people presents and he would do things like put presents in people's stockings when they were hung up to dry by the fire, so they would find them and be surprised. so now when we give presents at christmas it's fun to pretend saint nicholas or 'santa claus' brings them. and we hang up stockings by the fire and when we get up in the morning there are presents in them, just like if saint nicholas was still alive to bring them!"

so that thanksgiving one of my uncles said jovially "so mac, are you being good for santa claus?" and little (not quite three year old) mac looked up and raised an eyebrow and said witheringly "he's dead."
