If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)
The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.
idk i always kind of roll my eyes at all those posts that are like “people used to be ugly in movies” like….. well☝️i don’t think that’s true. i think male actors have always had more leeway to look a bit imperfect. we’ve had average/weird looking male actors in every generation, including this one. but people have always needed to be “hot” for movies. and they did crazy shit for it!! marlene dietrich getting teeth extracted to hollow out her cheeks, carole lombard undergoing her (non-cosmetic) facial reconstruction without anesthesia because they thought it would look better, etc ad infinitum. do you know the kinds of diets they had women on to keep them skinny…. not to mention beauty standards for women of color tryna be in movies. like there’s a reason the three biggest black actresses of classic hollywood decades were josephine baker, lena horne, and dorothy dandridge: all pretty lightskinned with smaller mouths and noses -> approximating whiteness (no shade i love these women sm). i think the difference Today is that there are simply way more procedures you can get done since cosmetic medicine has evolved so much. so people can change more of their face with better and more reliable results than they could in the 1930s. point being that people have definitely always needed to be conventionally attractive to be in movies but given the physical scope of what could be conceivably changed about your appearance there was simply more diversity in like facial structure and features
Les dances à travers le monde
my favourite thing about this is some are very traditional dances integral to that country/culture; and some are one individuals favourite move
and he approaches all of them with enthusiasm and a surprising amount of skill
Watching this makes me happy
Joyful. 🥰

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.
I guess I just can't find it in myself to care all that much about the annual summertime leg shaving discourse this year. We've got bigger fish to fry, you know?
Can we start talking about reproductive rights again? Or the wage gap? Remember when we used to talk about the wage gap on this website? Menstrual supply costs and availability? Pink tax? Glass ceiling? Glass cliff? Literally anything else besides leg hair?
Also, I know it's not technically the trad wives' fault, but I do resent the fact that now, whenever I fantasize about running a quirky bookshop where I spend most of the day reading behind the counter, or becoming a diner owner who cooks down balsamic vinegar and cures salmon for rapturously grateful townies, there's a nasty voice that whispers---be honest. your fantasy would require outsourcing tasks (labor) to someone who cannot refuse the attendant effort of monitoring book stock, or sourcing beef, or all the little ignominious things necessary to create such a lovely dream. White women have been doing that for ages, plus you're feeding into the Hallmark/Ballerina Farms/trad wife lie. You know better.
I do not like that voice.
@ everyone in the notes suggesting that actually, they would be happy monitoring book stock, or sourcing beef---please know that I respect that, and honor your interest in things that I cannot bring myself to care too much about. However, "be a good boss who sorts out the schedule, determines pay fairly and honestly (while still turning a profit) adjudicates HR issues, monitors performance, and provides solid health insurance" is also not part of the fantasy.
not trying to put anyone on blast but why am i seeing people being like actually rainbow capitalism is good & you should not criticise it because now we dont even have that like. yeah? thats what everyone who has ever complained about rainbow capitalism has been talking about? we are aware that the clothing brand mass producing tshirts that say love is love in a sweatshop somewhere & the bank throwing people out on the streets handing colorful pens at a parade are not & have never been our allies? that the moment they think "supporting" us is not gonna make them enough money theyre gonna drop us without a second thought? that their catchy slogans & social media posts are empty & mean nothing? youre not gonna find allyship & community in a corporation theres no pride in buying a rainbow headband from a usamerican supermarket chain. like i understand how it can be nice to feel pandered to for a little but lets not fool ourselves please
no the fuck we didnt?
“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Since you don’t respect my opinion anyway, quit pestering me to fill out a survey after every single consumer experience. I keep wondering who looks at these surveys. Is the CEO sitting in his wood-paneled office, reading each individual response on an old-timey stock ticker? If so, you can keep doing this. If not, I rate this experience zero stars out of infinity.
If AI was magically able to build and maintain software, we’d have small companies that could build and deploy at the scale of a hyperscaler, and hyperscalers would, in theory, be expanding their margins so aggressively that it would create a new golden age of software revenues…or they’d become entirely infrastructure providers, as anybody else could compete on software. But on a far-simpler level, it would be extremely obvious. Anybody can access ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, effectively anywhere in the world. The theoretical “power” of AI is that it “just does stuff,” and the proliferation of LLMs would mean that somebody would’ve “done” some “stuff” that we could point at with exceptional ease. Random guys in the midwest would be pumping out profitable, functional, and feature-rich software. Lawsuits would be won by pro se plaintiffs with incredible counsel from a theoretical “country of geniuses in a data center.” Four years in, we’d have one major AI-powered company demolishing the competition in any industry, or every industry would become so prevalent with (powerful) AI that it would effectively reduce the cost of the service to nothing. We’d be able to point to companies that adopted AI and then completely fucking exploded. We’d be able to point to useless coworkers who were now doing impressive, meaningful work. There would be widespread economic upheaval, as the concept of a “large company” would lose meaning, because those theoretical “geniuses in the data center” would be automating all the work.” There also wouldn’t be so many pieces insisting that AI is super powerful and so many quotes from Business Idiots saying it’s “real.” We wouldn’t talk about what AI could do at all. We wouldn’t need Anthropic to lie that Mythos was too powerful to release only to release it several months later. We wouldn’t have to talk about the fucking potential at all because we’d be able to point to what was going on because it would be obvious!
-Ed Zitron, "AI Doesn't Have ROI."
like. i do appreciate being able to occasionally stick my head into Where's Your Ed At and see Ed Zitron also losing his mind over noise from the AI hype machine, but with sources and logic.
So um. Ep 19 has been buzzing in my mind and what better first time TSV fanart then Carp all bloody after killing six people :3
OP is only up to ep 24 so no spoiler comments in tags/replies pls
This can't be fucking real oh my god.
lie to me
The 72-year-old British actor also had roles in shows including Merlin and Little Britain.

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves
I agree entirely except it’s generally better not to call someone a “Swedish pig” when you’re discussing racism. Because that’s … that’s racism.
bruh.
Bruh what? It is. Oh, it’s ok cause he’s a fucking asshole? That’s not how it works.
i’m not doing 2016 politics with you like you are off your fucking rocker telling a person from a colonized country that is directly impacted by his racism that i have to mind the way i talk about him when he didn’t mind the way he talked about my ENTIRE ethnic and cultural identity, so much so that children now peddle casual racism against me & mine. nobody has to play nice with their colonizers and those who uphold their colonizers. like we have done these exact political talking points as far back as 2012 and it is so tired.
Just learned about Bull Press, a tabletop publisher that focuses on games that are prison compliant (no hardcover, no dice, no maps), and their catalogue seems sick as hell. Def gonna pick smth up when I get paid next. They do a lot of donation work with books for prisoners programs!
As mentioned, Bull Press donate playbooks to prisons out of their own pocket. If you know somebody in prison you'd like to refer to receive books, you can email them with requests.
and if you want to support them:
