People shit on The Mandalorian a lot but it 100% is responsible for the resurgence of puppetry and practical effects in a lot of creature design and i think we owe it to Jon Faverau for making that choice and to Werner Herzog for pushing him to do it.

[transhuman-priestess]

#Werner belted out “I VOULD LIKE TO SEE DA BABY” and that was it#Sold on the barrel

No but the baby yoda puppet was originally a placeholder to be replaced largely by CGI and Werner Herzog more or less threated to kill jon faverau if he didn't keep the puppet

UBI needs to happen. via antiwork

[hasufin]

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.

To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.

[tehamelie]

The counter-argument: Not having UBI is in the interests of those in power who want to do anything to the people they are in power over in order to remain in power.

If the greed of the few should come before the need of the many.

Hundreds of studies from all over the world, from wealthy European countries to countries in the trenches of extreme poverty, show the same thing: Recipients of UBI spend that money on food, housing, education, paying down debt, investing in the future and generally improving their lives, pretty much universally.

They use the money to pay the first and last month’s rent on a better apartment. They buy school supplies and clothes for their kids. They go to the doctor for preventative care, seek mental health support, and get their kids glasses. They start a retirement fund. They can afford better quality food and repairs on their homes, appliances and cars. Many use the money to start a business or invest.

Know what they tend NOT to do? The vast majority do not buy drugs, they don’t drink it all away, they don’t gamble it away and they don’t blow it all on scratchers, iPhones or garish clothes. They aren’t disincentivized to work. None of those things are morally bad or wrong, but they are the most common arguments against UBI: “MEEEHHHHH WE CAN’T GIVE PEOPLE FREE MONEY THEY WON’T WORK AND THEY’LL BUY DRUUUUUGS!” Take a wild guess who is most often accused of spending money on drugs, scratchers and jewelry. Yep, POC. The mythical “welfare queen” we were all told to hate is a racist stereotype based on a handful of anecdotes during Reagan’s presidency and perpetuated by conservative white people who can’t handle the concept of sharing resources with someone who might be a little poorer, sicker, or darker than they are. Using the term “welfare queen” is a good indicator to me that they watch Fox “News” every day and haven’t had a thought of their own since the Gulf War.

Poverty is a failure of society, not the individual. Trapping people in shit jobs by tying their healthcare to employment is yet another way to abuse people just trying to (barely) survive. Stripping a disabled person of their social security for getting a job (because disability pay is such a pittance it’s embarrassing) is bullshit. UBI doesn’t disincentivize people from working, the way that capitalism works does. Creating a safety net won’t turn us all into lazy layabouts sitting at home on the couch eating chips all day, making it more of a pain in the ass just to live by jumping through endless hoops, meeting ridiculous job-hunting quotas, and peeing in a cup for the privilege of a few dollars a month in food stamps does. Learned helplessness is a result of a broken system that punishes you for following the rules.

Also if people wanna spend their money on drugs, that ought to be their business; I mean, aren’t Americans all about “I don’t want no governance scienticians observing my life and telling me what to do,” shouldn’t someone else taking drugs be just, them expressing their freedom the way you do?

We let people do the same thing with alcohol; THAT’S so prolific people feel comfortable making jokes about their chronic drinking problems.

And if you’re further confused, I recommend this video for details:

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

[apocalypse-angel]

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

Likewise, the new all-star audio books featuring people like Keira Knightley, Riz Ahmed, Michelle Gomez, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and more, only seem to have happened because Stephen Fry - who did all the original audio books - said he thought she radicalised and "was a lost cause" (x)

interactions on tumblr dot com

[zmpl]

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

bones is a show with just so much meme potential. That being said:

Thanks for coming to my third bones talk. See ya next time :)

[howtobecomeadragon]

watching bones again in 2025 is like. oh wonderful characters. horrible fatphobia. racism. badass autistic people making up most of the show's characters. the fact that they're all autistic is never acknowledged. copaganda and ridiculous nationalism. nuanced discussions about religion and atheism and science and love and compartmentalizing. stereotyping of so many groups of people up the wazoo. cool science. the system is rigged against us. the system is honest and true and fair. sex positivity. kink negativity. yearning. bugs are cool. everyone is traumatized. she works with bones and her nickname is bones, and booth is in love with her.
