This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

I've seen Death depicted as a card dealer or other sort of gambler, a guy in a suit, a farmer, a robed apparition, and any other number of things, but this? This has to be the best Death I've seen yet. An old seductress saying "hey kid, don't you wanna die in a trench for a government that doesn't give a fuck about you, just like your dear old dad?" This goes hard as fuck.

"I used to know your daddy." kicks like a mule.

This illustration won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1937. Two years BEFORE World War II begins in Europe.

reminder that the presenter says "oh, shut up" not "can it"

Native French speaker here. "Ta gueule" is actually more like "shut the fuck up" in terms of level of disrespect

LUCY LIU in CHARLIE’S ANGELS (2000)

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

in our defense this is oil

I know I don't shut up about this but frankly not enough people are angry about the 5-day/40 hour workweek (and I am AWARE a lot of people work even more than that). I feel like a lot more people should be absolutely furious that we only really have two days a week and some occasional hours in the evening to socialise, run errands, do chores, or relax.

It's no wonder so many people are profoundly lonely and disconnected from their communities when maintaining a social life in what little free time we have is incredibly difficult. If you have kids, a second job, a very long commute, or other responsibilities, it's nearly impossible.

We literally aren't meant to live like this and I'll never stop being shocked how many people just take it as the natural state of things and don't want to throw a brick through a billionaire's window every time they think of it.

I think people are starting to wake up about this. There's that viral tiktok of a young woman staring a 9-5 job after college and crying about having no time for anything.

Obviously the boomers are going after her and criticizing her. But I'm Gen X. I had the same horrible realization and depression when I started working full time 30 years ago. I absolutely remember it, but I just didn't have social media to share it on. I thought it was just me.

Listen, Millenials and Gen Z - there are old people (like me) who feel the same!!!

Get pissed and stay pissed!

you don't even get anything for it anymore.

The healthcare is broken, the food is expensive lies, the houses are unaffordable, the retirement is impossible...

it's not even working my life away FOR something, like, not only are humans not meant to live like this, but WHAT THE FUCK DO I GET OUT OF THIS SHIT ANYMORE!?!?

harsh truth: Boomers just showed up

as in showed up to a place

asked hey you hiring and if they were then

they just trained you

for the job

just like that

✨wow✨

an old roommate told me a story about how in the early 90s her mom showed up to this place to interview for a secretary job

guy from an office across the hall pops his head out and asks if she's here for them, a computer position

she says no nope nu uh I know nothing about computers and he goes WE'LL TRAIN YOU PLEASE WE NEED PEOPLE and yanks her off her feet and through the door

today she's a highly sought after computer technician making bank

the point is that once the economy was so amazing that you could get fired from most jobs and have a new one the following week or even the next day

She’s so hot and men get sooo mad that he didn’t leave her when she gained some weight

fr I don't think certain types of men who posture as straight are even attracted to women "oh no, what if your wife ended up dummy thick too!"

This one is pissing me off because there’s cheese in it. I’m not sure there’s a period of Chinese dynastic history wherein the type of dudes likely to be having rap battles would also have been familiar with hard cheese. There’d be political fucking implications to that. Fermented dairy products were often seen as uncivilized foods, and were associated in particular with northern “barbarian” cuisine (see: <lactose intolerance in Eurasia>), whereas competitive poetry was viewed as a civilized and scholarly pastime appropriate to civil servants and courtiers. Mentioning cheese in a verse which also references the heavens could be seen as an effort to legitimize the presence of these dangerous foreign elements within Chinese society, and, thus, as seditious. If dairy were to become a common theme in rap battles, it might be viewed as a dangerous sign of poor morale and defeatist thinking among the literati. “Emperor, we have got to move the capital to the south. The scholars are rapping about cheese. It’s all falling apart.”
