[[What a Steven Bomb that was!! Here are some Diamond and Pearl doodles I drew after their reveals.

If those Pearls are anything like our Pearl, pretty sure they’re super loyal to their superiors and are beacons of salt]]

[[I had to because I saw the leaks last week, and I just relate to Blue Diamond so much.

I too cry a lot and require a lot of comfort from everyone around me.]]

Modern research shows the public work together selflessly in an emergency, motivated by a strong impulse to help

“The notion that people panic and run screaming for the exits is a Hollywood fiction,” said Prof Stephen Reicher, an expert in group behaviour at the University of St Andrews.

“Characteristically, people stay and help each other,” he said. “We found this during the 7/7 attacks on the underground and the 1999 attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in London, where people looked after each other even though they feared other bombs.

“In our own research on the Leytonstone tube attack in 2015, there was an amazing level of spontaneous coordination by bystanders: some directed others away from danger. Some distracted the attacker. Some confronted the attacker. Each was able to act because of the others. Heroism was a feature of the group, not just the individual,” he added.

Prof Clifford Stott, a specialist in the psychology of crowds and group identity at Keele University, agreed. Modern research, he said, showed “bystander apathy” was a myth. Instead, strangers often work together in emergency situations with highly sophisticated unity.”

Bystander apathy is a myth invented by the New York Times to cover up that the police were called by several residents of the building, but the cops refused to act. The cops then told the Times that 38 people just watched her die (a seemingly arbitrary number and a physical impossibility based on where the attacks occurred), and the Times ran with it. In fact, Kitty was alive when the cops got there, and was being held and comforted by one of her friends who lived in the building because one of the people who saw her get attacked from across the street called her friend to go get her. Because people care.

You have just been attacked. How likely is it that someone will come to your help? If you remember the infamous case of Kitty Genovese in 19

I will always re-blog this. The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder has gone down in history as a story about everyone watching it happen and doing nothing and none of the story is true.

When I was new to the internet (and so were most other people on it) before there were even such thing as wikis, there was almost only one single English resource on Japanese Youkai, quoted as an original source by almost anything else you could find.

And I don't remember what it was called anymore, I just remember the fallout when the owner turned out to have been not only omitting or changing anything dark or scary about any yokai, but claimed their changes were the real truth buried by a shintoist conspiracy to smear the good name of youkai, which were real.

It took a while, but by now, thankfully, not a single one of their fanfacts circulate anymore. Nowadays we have the modern yokai.com that actually cites the oldest sources it can on every entry.

The idea that every FBI agent is severely traumatized is incorrect. Grace Ashcroft, who experiences 7 traumatizing events every minute, is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

Got a copy of Duke Nukem Does the Internet… man, the 90’s were weird.

Don’t expect an ebook conversion of it. It’s pretty much an Internet for Dummies book as if it were written by Duke Nukem, published in 1997. Very picture heavy and a lot of talk about dial up and Netscape Navigator. It’s an interesting novelty, but you’d have to be crazy to read it from cover to cover.
