Many of you sent me that spectacular AI art of "Jodorowsky's TRON." I felt inspired to take a stab at the concept with some other properties. Step into a dark portrait of the human psyche in...

Literally any other colour would’ve been a better choice guys.

[minty-mayhem]

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

[prescribedburning-deactivated20]

im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me

red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR 😂

[elsegame]

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, here’s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out “The Designer’s Dictionary of Color” by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

What is Color Theory?

What isColor Theory? Color theory is a term used to describe the collection of rules and guidelines regarding the use of color in art and de

[youngdiasporan]

I think y’all are missing the point here.

[forlovefromfear]

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesn’t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

[jhenne-bean]

I like that the presumption here is that “No One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depth” rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to “this is a hospital and that looks like blood”

like, color theory doesn’t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallway’s floor, an infographic won’t override the viewers’ instinct.

this post is the perfect summation of tumblr’s reading comprehension and critical thought abilities

Reblogging because there’s a lot of new people on here and you need some context for the jokes.

[kittydesade]

When people refer to Tumblr’s ONE Joke, 9 times out of 10 this is what they mean. The 10th time is probably Ea-Nasir.

[elierlick]

I think about this a lot.

RATING: RELIABLE

Source: ‘The math checks out. In 2019, the median annual earning for women was $47,299. For men, it was $57,546. Averaged together, that’s about $52,423.The cost of the average home in the same time was $377,700. That is about 14 percent of the median salary.’

[hamletthedane]

As of Oct 2022, the median annual earnings for women in the United States was $50,492 (extrapolated by multiplying weekly earnings by 52 weeks). For men, it was $60,528. Average together, that’s about $55.640. The average purchase price of a home in the United States during Q3 of 2022 was $542,900.

The average salary in the US is now about 10.2% of the cost of a home.

[hamletthedane]

But that’s not even the whole story, because “income earned” means pre-tax income, and mortgage payments are not tax deductible unless you itemize (which people w/ average salaries do not do bc it’s usually less than the standard deduction).

In 1936, following FDR’s income tax hikes, the median annual salary for a single person was $830, taxed at 4% Income + 1% Social Security. The take-home median pay was therefore ~$790. The average home value was $4,766. So take-home pay was about 16.5% of home cost in 1936.

In Oct 2022, taxes are a bit more complicated. Assuming you take the standard deduction, file single, and only pay federal income tax, the take-home pay from a salary of $55,640 is about $51,584.

(Using H&R Block’s 2022 tax estimator)

So really, the average take-home pay is now 9.5% of the average home price.

Meanwhile, the person earning $2M/yr in 2022 would end up taking home at least $1,289,600. He is taxed at 35.3% of his earnings. The person earning the inflation-adjusted equivalent of in 1936 (~$95,000) would be taxed at 60% of his earnings.

Tl;dr: It’s an even more dire situation than that tweet suggests. Taxes on the middle class have skyrocketed, taxes on the ultra-rich have been slashed in half, and housing is nearly twice the ratio to income earned that it was in the middle of the Great Depression.

The rumours are true. Well, the good ones are, anyway. Netflix is delighted and thrilled that so many of you, all over the world, have been watching and loving Sandman, which means that the thing we were all hoping would happen...? Well, it's happened...
