the best moment in any media involving super heroes ever
Iāve seen this at least ten times on my dash and it never stops being funny
roger that
kind of belated, but Happy Pride yāall :)
So beautiful
This is from 3 years ago, but desperately needs to be brought back
Thatās not quite true. The reporter behind the story, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was murdered.
After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.
Worldwide, hundreds of people ā many rich and powerful ā were arrested.
Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.
And 82 countries changed their laws to crack down on the wealth hoarding the papers revealed.
(Source here)
To say the Panama Papers accomplished nothing is an insult to Daphne Galiziaās memory. Her work, and the work of the hundreds of other journalists who contributed to the Papers, changed the world.
Disinformation like this is designed to discourage you, to make you feel youāre powerless against the monsters of the world. They want you to feel that way, because they are terrified of your power to make change.
Take your power back. Demand better. Keep fighting for a better world, because a better world is possible.
VACCINATE YA KIDS FFS
The other thing about measles is that it resets your bodyās memory of other diseases. So all those times youāve gotten sick? Your bodyās memory cells no longer remember those illnesses, so even if you get the sameĀ type of illness again your body will react like itās the first time youāve been sick.
Itās so much worse thanĀ ājust a diseaseā.Ā
Measles does WHAT
Holy fuck
What the fuck what the fuck what the fUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
antivaxxers also sabotaged the human lyme disease vaccine. they literally conspired online in usenet boards to go out and participate in the vaccine trials, and they all proceeded to complain of arthritis, the only symptom of lyme disease they were apparently aware of. this caused media hysteria about the vaccine. if you remember the flu vaccine hysteria around the swine flu epidemic, it was kind of like that. despite double-blind trials being unable to support their claims and instead displaying that the vaccine was safe and effective, the damage was done, and the vaccine was shelved in the USA. you can get a lyme disease vaccine in Europe, but Europe has a different strain of the bacteria that causes lyme disease.
Lyme disease can become very serious, it can infect the nervous system and cause neurological problems especially in young children who are often bitten on the head or the neck, undiagnosed it can cause chronic health issues that mimic other diseases. Without safe prophylactic measures beyond trying to minimize contact w ticks, this has driven people who have had lyme disease, have chronic effects from mass-disseminated lyme disease infection, or people who believe they have chronic lyme disease to go to quack doctors and undergo unsafe, unapproved medical treatment in an attempt to stop suffering.
This would not be happening on the scale that it is if antivaxxers didnāt straight up execute a supervillain plot to sabotage the lyme disease vaccine bc this happened the same year andrew wakefield published his fraudulent research on the MMR vaccine
https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/5/7/17314716/lyme-disease-vaccine-history-effectiveness
these people are fucking dangerous beyond compare
Anti-vaxxers are a plague upon humanity. I work at a daycare, and we are REQUIRED by LAW to have those kids vaccinated, but somehow some parents find ways around these requirements and end up giving these preventable diseases to everyone else. I was given the mumps by one of these kids whose parents either didnāt care enough to get the kid vaccinated or fell for that Jenny McCarthy bullshit. The mumps is a miserable illness and I am damn lucky that it was a fairly minor case. But minor or not it is still beyond painful to swallow and my entire right cheek swelled up to double itās size. It was awful. I had to go to the ER on fucking Thanksgiving Day because some parents decided they knew better than every doctor practicing medicine who urges people to vaccinate their kids. VACCINATE. YOUR. KIDS.
Anti-vaxxers would rather have dead children than vaccinate them because they believe lies. Thatās what it comes down to: dead children.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Reminder: Antivaxxers would rather have dead children than autisticĀ children.
This whole thing started with a fear of their kids turning out⦠like us.
Please stop erasing us from this narrative.
mooching off the government is a good thing actually. what the fuck else are they gonna do with the money? buy more bombs?
If you are paying taxes itās impossible to āmoochā off of the government. Itās just going āhey, remember that money I gave you? Itās your turn to help me out now.ā
It is always impossible to mooch off the government. It is the governmentās job to look after its people.
Literally why even have a fucking government if not to take care of people.
I would argue that there is such a thing as mooching off the government.
Like when Amazon steals fucking 129 million dollars in tax rebates despite making 11 billion dollars in profit and not paying one fucking penny of tax.
Thatās what āmooching off the governmentā looks like.
Everything the rich accuse the poor of is another thing they actually do themselves.
Are they SURE they meant to write the word āruinedā instead of āliberated film from the stranglehold of?ā Maybe their hand slipped??????????????????
Oh some of you missed it, okay, so this movie was set to hit theaters exactly when all theaters were shut down for the quarantine and rather than delay it they took a chance at releasing it direct to home streaming from day one, the first time a major studio has ever done so, and yeah the numbers can be chalked up heavily to families stuck at home with nothing to do but they still werenāt expecting it to make 100 million dollars in just a couple weeks, especially not when the whole family just has to pay for it once instead of a bunch of tickets. It was such a STAGGERING success that it opened up discussion over whether movies actually need theaters anymore, whether the profits are only being held back by how much time, energy and money it takes for consumers to arrange a whole trip out to see a new release, and pretty much the only real conclusion being drawn is a resounding āyes, and that should have been patently obvious.ā It had more studios rush to put things out for streaming and they continue to be making more money than they ever imagined, even factoring in all that collective cabin fever. It also has the Academy Awards changing their rules this year to include non-theatrical releases for the first time. Trolls World Tour might go down as one of the most important, most industry-shattering works in cinematic history, albeit not necessarily for its actual content (which is cute by the way, worth seeing).
(Forewarning, Iām biased because Iām in the film industry. And also just prefer seeing movies at the theater)
This IS actually gonna ruin the movie theater industry. What Universal (and other movie studios, U is just the most vocal about it) wants to do is simultaneously release movies to theater and digitally. They want to have their cake and eat it tooā get the profits from the cinematic experience of the theater while raking in the digital rentals. The exception they would make to this is blockbusters, which they would only release in theaters.
Now why is this a problem? It fucks over the movie theater, and thereby the movie theater consumer.
Movie theaters cannot exist on blockbusters alone. They need the steady stream of butts in seats throughout the year to keep going. As most of us have experienced, the prices of tickets and concessions have been climbing to keep theaters open in the face of digital streaming. The dual release would make those prices skyrocket. Weāre talking $25+ a ticket. $100+ for a family of four, before tax or concessions.
āWell I wonāt go to the movies, Iāll just stream from home.ā
1. Not everyone can do that. Plenty of people donāt have reliable internet access and streaming/downloading isnāt an option for them.
2. We are teetering on the edge of another film industry oligarchy. In the old days of Hollywood, banks would buy up studios and movie theaters both, and shut out the indie competitor from showing their films at all. They then were able to hike up the price of a ticket because only certain theaters were connected to certain studios. So Studio āAā would only send their films to āAā Theaters, creating a false scarcity that drove up the price for the consumer. Also hella illegal. The film industry got monopoly busted hard, and now the studio and theater are purposefully kept separate.
In streaming services, we have an echo of that model. Studios are creating their own streaming services and vice versa (Disney+, Amazon Studios etc). One of the few things keeping them in check is the movie theater industry, which acts as an equalizerā all tickets cost the same, regardless if it comes from an indie studio or the Big Five. The second we lose theaters, the streaming services are going to jump in price, I guarantee it.
3. The theater isnāt just about the movie. Itās about the communal experience of going out with friends, family, strangers. Making a night out of sitting in a cool, dark room. Staring up at a giant screen, enraptured by the film for those 90 minutes. You donāt get that experience at home.
.
So what are the movie theaters doing? AMC, movie theater monopoly and my immortal enemy, has fired back at Universalā if they want to dual release, no AMC theater will show Universal films. Ever.
Universal has of course backtracked and said that they have no concrete plans to implement the dual release, theyāre just thinking out loud, blah blah blah.
As much as it pains me, Iām on AMCās side on this one. Because AMC is the only theater chain big enough to make good on that threat and hold off studios. Because we all go to the theater at least a couple times a year, and it shouldnāt cost the price of a grocery trip to do so. Because the theater, as flawed as it can be, makes cinematic experience accessible to the masses.
@louisbancroft
And Iāve seen people calling AMC āpettyā for basically saying, āWeāre not going to import your product when youāve just set us up to ultimately LOSE money on showings of it.ā
Theatres might well be dying, but AMC at least is not going to let Universal leech off of them while theyāre taking their last breaths.
Theatres are literally being fucked to death by distributors without lube and youāre cheering from the sidelines.
Hot ticket films like say Avengers Endgame have distribution fees up to 90 percent.Ā That mean the studio keeps 90% of the ticket intake.Ā 90 fucking percent.Ā This drops down over time, as demand is perceived to drop (how gracious of them!) so we usually peg it around 60-70%. Why are there so many ads?? why is the concessions stand so expensive???Ā Ā Because the distributors arenāt paying cinema staff. Theyāre not paying to run the projectors, or theĀ players, or the media libraries, or scheduling, or anything else required for a cinema to actually run, but by god they will take that 90% ticket cut.Ā
Theatres are not a parasitic entity riding off distributors. But gee, the distros have sure done a good job convincing you they are.
video game companies really think hyperreality somehow makes games better⦠it does not! it just makes them hyper realistic lol and it sure doesnāt make my console feel any better either⦠instead of putting hours of effort into making a characterās arm hair look realistic how about u put some effort into something that matters like idk the plot maybe
Iām just saying, everybody loved Spyro and it didnāt even have basic water physics
spyro looked like someone duct taped together triangles and op is still right
Thatās what I call justice
WHOOP THERE IT IS
There is something monumental that the OP is leaving out.
Most of these ābillionairesā that are āstealingā āāā"Chineseāāāāā art, ARENāT doing that. They are doing so on favor of the CCP to steal Tibetan art so it can be destroyed.
Thereās been a long standing string of *Tibetan art goes on auction* and some unknown man from China in a suit and glasses out bids the fuck out of everyone else, gets the art, and the art is never seen again.
Why is this happening? The CCP actively tries to destroy Tibetan culture, to deny itās existence and weaken itās claim to the Tibetan Plateau to make itās active military occupation look more ājustifiedā.
Actual Tibetan refugees, including the mother of the Dalai Lama during the beginning of the military occupation WILLINGLY gave away prized Tibetan and Buddhist historical artifacts and antiquities because they knew the PLA had orders to confiscate them for destruction.
Itās incredibly frustrating to see āāāāāwokeāāāāā Twitter and Tumblr actively shilling for the CCP in their effort to undermine and destroy Tibetan culture and spread news that only further shoves the Tibetan Genocide from the records, especially when Iāve spoken with western Tibetan Culture scholars, and seen all the art and culture that the CCP has had destroyed or has gone missing over the past 50 years.
Itās sick and if you support China ābuyingā their art back, youāre a POS.
You have been booped by this empty wrapping paper tube.
Reblog to boop all of your followers with it.
this is probably the only sex gif i will ever reblog, because for some reason i feel like itās more than just sex. i donāt know if itās how theyāre actually looking at one another or the way they canāt get close enough. heās actually looking at her like a person and not just a sex object.
but then again, it could be all in my head. i mean, this is how i would want it to be. but thatās just me.
so uhhh
was he supposed to do a jump there
or is this like⦠what they planned from the begining
Good question.
unfollow me
Uh, why?
i despise you and your political philosophy and also your blog is terrible?
like i only occasionally blog about politics, but i do very much believe capitalism must be destroyed and global international communism must be established, so likeā¦. why is it confusing that i donāt want you following my blog.
You may ābelieveā that capitalism should be destroyed, but that doesnāt mean it isnāt the most successful economic model in human history, and has to led to the most successful civil societies in history. You may ābelieveā that international communism is ānecessaryā, but that such a system canāt compete with capitalism is historically evident, that it doesnāt work is well established, and that any citizen with even a half way decent life would reject any proposed decline in their standard of living, through violence, is obvious. I wonāt fault you for holding these misguided beliefs as much as you fault me for my correct ones.
What the fuck is going on in this post
@biffan
Just a small rant because I keep seeing a lot of misunderstandings floating around in regards to Alastor and his sexuality, and as a Certified Asexual ⢠it really annoys me.
ASEXUALITY DOES NOT EQUAL AROMANTIC! Just because you are asexual does not mean you cannot have romantic feelings towards someone or engage in a loving relationship. Of course, he could be aromantic or he could not be, we just donāt know yet.Ā ( If you headcanon him that way, totally cool! But itās not confirmed canonically. )
ASEXUALITY IS A SPECTRUM! There are asexuals who are sex repulsed, some who simply do not care for sex at all as a whole, and those who still engage in sexual behavior even if they do not have sexual attractionĀ (Ā i. E. masturbation and, yes, even sleeping with their partners for a variety of reasons. Look it up if you are curious!Ā )Ā On paper, asexuality is lack of sexual attraction, plain and simple. It DOES NOT mean you are forbidden from having sex and it also does not mean that you must be sex repulsed. All of these options are perfectly valid and do not erase asexuality!
If you are asexual and completely repulsed by sex and would like to see Alastor that way, that is a hundred percent fine. If you are an asexual who is not and shares another mindset, itās just as swell to view him through a different lens. It might not be everyoneās cup of tea, but ASEXUALITY IS NOT RIGID. Just because you have a certain view on it does not mean that it applies to everyone else in the spectrum, and it pisses me off that so many people get shamed for their perspectives and interpretations when there is nothing wrong with them by definition.
Asexual representation is great and important and Iām extremely thrilled that such a wonderful character is on that spectrum! But heās not here to only represent one aspect of it, but all of them. Please be considerate and donāt spread unnecessary hate as long as his asexuality is portrayed delicately and respectfully.
i was walking to ensemble class and this dhdhdkdjjdid CAR pulls up and rolls down the driverās window and im like⦠right ok. and this middle aged man with a foreign accent greets me with āyou know, you look really kind!ā and iām like?? thanks!? and hes like āyeah i like to say that to people who look kind. not many do.ā and then he points at himself and is like ādo *i* look kind to you? many people tell me i donāt!ā and iām like no you look kind to me!!? and he LAUGHS and says āwell iām actually mean!ā and DRIVES OFF??????????
