[tributary]

i like hbo’s the pitt but i don’t think it’s. actually good.

[tributary]

it’s just very didactic/heavy-handed/PSA fiction and i’m used to more subtlety in storytelling. doesn’t mean i don’t enjoy it

[freewillandphysics]

This is a genuine question for people who feel this way, including OP!

Do you watch procedurals?

Because something I love that the Pitt is bringing back, that was a hallmark of ER (sorry lawsuit defense team), is providing extremely technical niche information/terms without explanation.

I hate when TV shows do the “he left AMA” “you mean AGAINST medical advice????”

It’s more “show don’t tell” than most modern shows IMO

[freewillandphysics]

my life is off the rails guys

I can’t even imagine getting back

“but there is an over saturation of American politics on Tumblr” I do not mean to be rude but the heavy majority the Tumblr community is American.

Not to say that the events occurring in other countries do not matter but the reason you are seeing so many posts about being American and what is going on in America is that you are on a site that has an American majority with smaller minority user bases from other countries. Like, I am so very sorry but this is an American website.

For additional reference, 22% of Twitter users are American and 58% of Reddit users are American.

it’s kind of like going on Weibo and being like “why is everyone talking about China” 😭

[silyaspider]

Be the change: if you want more Norwegian politics on tumblr, force all your Norwegian friends to join tumblr.

[byjove]

Absolutely. We could benefit from that. If you’re thinking the site has become more American in the time you’ve used it, you’re not imagining it. The site used to be more diverse in terms of nationality. It’s difficult to find charts of the change but only 30% of users were American in 2013. There were 141.4 million blogs on the site in 2013 and there are now 626.79 million in 2026. But yes, encourage your friends to join Tumblr if you’re not in America. Be the change you want to see on this site.

[freewillandphysics]

Americans care about this so much because social media is the only place where having a physical majority actually matters for us

[tigeristired]

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

[monkeybombergirl]

I love how everyone treats adhd as a moral failing even people who otherwise have reasonable stances

[monkeybombergirl]

"you people can't do anything" Yeah disabilities limit your ability to do things you dumb fuck

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"

[caustic-pixie]

OP the tags!!

[zs-21]

When I say “last year,” I’m talking about 2019

Jack Schlossberg should be able to [redacted] RFK Jr with his bare hands

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

looooove when mulder and scully know the most random stuff. why the hell does mulder know what the 1939 world's fair logo looks like off the top of his head? why is scully authoring an article on diminished acetylcholine production in recidivist offenders? she knows facts about tick metabolism and protein sequences and the number of stigmatics in the world at one time. he will tell you the exact number of years ago a subspecies of wolf went extinct and then explain the symbolism of eyeballs in the old testament. it never gets old.

This is so Lena Luthor coded

[woman-respecter]

average gay guy problems: i have been hooking up with my hockey rival, but now i am developing feelings for him and nobody can know! >_< also nobody serves ginger ale

average lesbian problems: my wife died when an alien virus turned all of humanity into a hivemind and then said hivemind sent a woman who looks like a female version of my romantasy hero to charm me into complacency, which i resisted at first but then i got lonely and now i think i am falling for her >_< also john cena said the hivemind is eating people

[kendrysaneela]

Honestly thank god Carol’s a lesbian so we don’t have to worry about her and Manousos falling in love they can just be very bickery platonic soulmates

[maiarindell]

the hive immediately stopping singing as soon as kusimayu gets inducted and how they were all play-acting at maintaining cultural customs for her and now they're just abandoning the village because community and tradition have no purpose to them because they're inefficient and everyone's the same now and all that really matters is spreading the connection/sameness

[freewillandphysics]

the amount of times I got called various iterations a ‘typical white woman American Karen’ on this here internet for correctly pointing out that what the Hive is practicing is NOT collectivism…
