Duffers confessing that they really did plan to kill el all along bc they couldn't envision the party being able to move on from their lives with her present. Like practically just explicitly admitting that for all their posturing around being a person outside of mike/hopper/etc. or being insecure about her worth without her powers they explicitly agreed that her powers/usefulness and perception by / value to others was all she was worth. She wasn't a person to them she really was just a plot device to represent the other characters coming of age and moving past the supernatural chaos. She was never a "main character" to them she was an object to explore and discard no wonder they didn't bother to actually give any non-imaginary/speculative ending to her story and no wonder they put so little effort into her non-mike/hopper relationships this season/overall. They couldn't even delve into her own perspective long enough to know. whether she wanted to be called El or Jane she was only ever nosebleeds and eggos and ominous stares and inconsistent relationships with the people in her life and heartbroken sobbing when it served the plot. Fucking hell

The genocide has not ended people are still dying every day, and the random bombings continue. Israel and Netanyahu speak to the media claiming that the war is over, but the truth is completely different. The planes are still above our heads. Israel says these things only for the media, but on the ground, it’s all lies.Another very important thing: people on Tumblr are not paying attention to donation campaigns like they did last month. Donations to my campaign and to others are very low. Please focus you must understand that we are still suffering and we still need you. Don’t abandon us, and don’t grow tired of helping Palestine in any way you can.

the sense im getting here is that

- grad school: stressful and joyless

- career: soul-crushing and banal

- dating: perilous and humiliating

- unsure path: unstable and desolate

- obsessed with some freak: life is beautiful

Bahh. I see how it is. When the dangerous crow boy eats plastic he's 'doing great' and 'doing his job', but when I, the humble housecat...!

[weedstoner]

fyi was watching the news at my parents' house and the way he's being described by mainstream news outlets is as "someone who reached across the aisle to try to engage progressives in healthy debate" and it's absolutely imperative that we do not let him be remembered in this way. we are not going to revise history and pretend he has ever done anything other than lob logical fallacy after logical fallacy at a bunch of college kids so he can clip it into flashy videos for his youtube channel. he did not argue in good faith, he did not try to find common ground with liberals or lefties, he would sit in an auditorium for hours dodging questions or making ad hominem arguments or bringing up non sequiturs until his time was up. there was no intellectual engagement happening here. I think it was probably a fun debate exercise for the college students to be able to identify logical fallacies in action, but nothing of substance was being argued or discussed or acquiesced upon. his two goals were to make fun of libtards and to give young white men nazi talking points coated in a veneer of social acceptance.

[sternfleck]

Let’s not forget his third goal: to groom and indoctrinate girls and young women into becoming submissive wives and willing victims of domestic abuse, including reproductive coercion. Source

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.

[taraxippos]

Looking at the tags so far I’m kind of fascinated by how much the ‘I Love You’ parodies vary in their phrasing/murder weapons but the ‘Joy to the World’ ones are nearly identical

[karvina]

here is my collection of barney murder songs as they appeared in the notes and comments of this post at about 4 pm pacific 7/25, somewhat arbitrarily color coded to show similar memes. it appears that "baseball bat and 2x4" is the mode configuration but there is so much variation that that exact phrasing only makes up a small part of the set. if i knew more about statistical modeling i would turn this into some kind of data tree that shows which phrases are most likely to follow other phrases.

[xzombiexkittenx]

In addition to the themesong parody murder fest, when I was a sprog we also had an On Top of Spaghetti (which is, in itself, a parody) varient about killing Barney.

"On top of Old Smokey all covered in blood, I shot poor Barney with a .44 slug. Instead of a funeral we had a parade. Most people thew flowers but I threw a grenade. That night he rose from the dead so I took a machete and cut off his head [or, I took out my shotgun/got my bazooka and blew off his head]. This is end of my song, sorry kids, but Barney's gone."

It's based on the varient about...uh. Killing your teacher. So. Um. this was pre-Columbine so it was super normal and fine, I guess. Anyway. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I think Tom Scott did a video on this a while back but I'm not hitting the right combo of search terms for it...

this might be the video @hockpock was thinking of?

[sizhens-deactivated20250415]

okay we also don't need to talk about gifted kids as if they are an oppressed class like. lets be so serious. being a gifted kid was rarely anything other than a way of affording wealthier, less racialized students access to better resources. the fact that you felt "pressure to compete and perform" kind of balks in comparison to the plight of the kids who were Literally Tracked Onto A Worse Education than you.

Abolish Tesla.

[seymour-butz-stuff]

Elon uses his overvalued Tesla stock as collateral for all his loans.

If the stock price crashes, banks will ask for their money back.

The Twitter deal alone would break him - twitter has tanked in value, he couldn't sell it to pay off his loans.

just got the email to say that the UK government will not be implementing an independent evaluation of the Cass review and I'm. fucking exhausted

[concerningwolves]

ok ok I'm rallying myself here. hope is not lost. it's taken a blow and it's awful but it's not lost.

For context, there is currently an official petition going calling for an independent review of the Cass report, which has been widely criticised by pro-trans groups, academics, and educational psychologists, among others. (You can find links to these criticisms here). Criticisms range from the lack of peer review (for a report that can influence national policy!) to the exclusion of trans researchers from the process and its underlying assumption that gender transition is an undesirable outcome. At a certain number of signatures (10,000 iirc), the government has to issue a response. Their response has been to double down on support for the Cass review:

The Government and NHS England are fully committed to implementing all recommendations from the independent and evidence based Cass Review. We do not support an independent evaluation of the Review.

(the full response is included in the petition link below)

But! The petition is still going:

Petition: An independent evaluation of the Cass review on child gender services

We believe that trans healthcare should be based on unbiased research that is peer reviewed. We think that the Cass review's findings have l

It has 11,440 signatures. If it can get to 100,000 signatures, the petition will be considered for debate in parliament. If you're in the UK, please sign. The state of gender-affirming healthcare for transgender people is currently deplorable, and set to get worse if we cannot make headway against the rising tide of transphobia and ignorance that is dictating government decisions.

You can also write to your MP

The charity Mermaids has created a tool to make emailing your MP asking for their support easy. This tool isn't specifically regarding the Cass review – the main concern is on the ban on puberty blockers, which is equally pressing. However, they provide a template message that you can add to and easily modify:

If you're in the UK and can spare 15–30 minutes to sign the petition and email your MP, you can do something that, although it may seem small, could contribute to a strong cumulative action. If you can't, please reblog this post and share the links as far as you can ❤️

My man was really gonna let a fucking BEAR into his house for the views and the BEAR had to be the sensible one here

[pseudo-seraphim]

The bear said “You live like this?”

[astraltrickster]

This always takes me the fuck out because so far as I can tell that's LITERALLY what's happening. That bear is looking around pretty apprehensive, it looks like she's sizing up the likelihood of finding something good in there (food, shelter, whatever) vs the odds of getting hurt...and coming to the conclusion that it's not worth it. That human is just acting too weird.

The bear is, LITERALLY, exhibiting more common sense and wildlife encounter good practice than the cameraperson.

The reason everyone in madoka magica has colorful anime hair and matching colorful anime eyes is because somewhere back in pre-history a magical girl with a lot of potential and not a lot of sense wished for more hair colors and permanently altered the human gene pool
