This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

[charlesoberonn]

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

[femboy-fever]

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

[wondermanaging]

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

[charlesoberonn]

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me

[actuallyjuststealingmemes]

This is just as wild with the context

Some of my favorite moments in the series

From the foreword to 2021 print of the comic.

By Mark Russell and Steve Pugh!

For more context, I really enjoy this interview they did:

DC Comics made the Flintstones sad. These geniuses are the culprits.

[rederiswrites]

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

[emptyjunior]

so I have a couple of questions

[verypatientmanatee]

[paleode-ology]

ahshdhf okay but can you imagine being madame morrible and you finally find the one person you need to secure yours and the wizards positions of power and she’s PERFECT because everyone hates her and by providing literally the bare minimum comfort and encouragement you’re 100% sure you’ll be able to brainwash her. And then one night at 1 am she shows up at your door and BEGS YOU to let her roommate (didn’t they hate each other?) study alongside her and you absolutely despise the roommate but goodness knows you Cannot let your most promising student in decades slip out of your grasp. Worst of all, you have to tell the roommate Right Now??? So you get dressed for the club in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT to talk to the preppiest most shallow 20 yo girl you’ve ever met in your years of teaching. I would never teach a lesbian again LMAOOOOO

[alicent-florent]

when you're trying to escape your crush but you forget that she's also your roommate

[astrotheyge]

Fiyero hits on Galinda by saying “our first fight” -> Galinda says “let’s not quarrel” to Elphie after the Ozdust

Fiyero hits on Galinda by putting a flower in her hair -> Galinda puts the same flower in Elphie’s hair at the end of Popular

she’s using fiyero’s flirting playbook lol

[serosedflamio]

When Elphaba tosses her cape, in her most grandiose moment, the crest of her crescendo, and it billows out backwards ominously and yet somehow in the same manner that Glinda has been frivolously tossing her hair this whole time, the way she showed her. The cape that Glinda gave her. That's lesbianism.

[moghedien]

like yes Glinda's mad because Elphaba's getting what she wants even though she feels like she should be winning, but its so funny that Glinda has the whole ass school doing organized choreo and singing about how much the girl who makes Glinda's pulse race and face flush (OUT OF HATRED) is awful and Glinda's great, and the SECOND Glinda realizes said girl (WHO SHE DEFINITELY HATES IN A NORMAL WAY) isn't paying attention, she ends the song, leaves everyone dancing, and runs off to her room alone

[tilthat]

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

via ift.tt

[squeeful]

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

[kurowrites]

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

[prismatic-bell]

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

[kittydesade]

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson day!

[ailelie]

Oh, hey, it’s almost Clair Cameron Patterson day!

[cbc-bb-deactivated20250802]

there are enough tumblr users who can vote in US battleground states to literally swing the election, do you realize that?? the election is going to come down to like 80’000 votes in those states — that could be your vote! so if you live in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada, north carolina, wisconsin, michigan, etccc your vote is going to make a huge, huge difference. please for the love of god vote (and if you live in a different state, you still need to vote too)

[dancinbutterfly]

This.

Georgia early voting is open. The lines are short and move fast. You will be in and out in 10 minutes.

Just stop on your way home or to the store. You can do it. I promise.

[bir0me]

This comic was inspired by a post that I cannot find [redacted rant about how much tumblr's search function is the closest there is tho pure evil]. So you know, if anyone has that post hand it I will actually make you a silly litltle doodle.

[milfleeta]

someone should’ve introduced data to crochet. i think that would’ve been good for him.

[milfleeta]

crochet can’t be replicated by a machine but one of the central points of data as a character is that he’s not just a machine. just imagine someone giving him a hook and some worsted weight yarn, and he makes an absolute beaut of an afghan and then geordi probably mentions that he hears crochet can’t be done by a machine and then the look on data’s face, u know the look. u get the vision.

So we bought the giant container of jelly belly from Costco and brought them to a lunch and found that everyone had their own favorites and so we all got to eat only our favorites (friendship is magic!)

And while it is neither March nor is it a meaningful question, but should I run a jellybelly flavor bracket?

jelly belly bracket?

yes

no
