Follow-up

(I recommend checking out the full thread here, it's both heartfelt and contains a lot of cathartic roasting)

That said, I will share this segment because it reveals that...

Elon was sharing confidential health information publicly while also basically saying that he fired him for being disabled while also accusing him of faking it.

So between this entire shitstorm, the best way this can be summarized is:

One more addition, only because I want to spread some positivity about Halli, which I found out @mazjin posted in another reblog chain, and I'm trying to keep it all together if I can (sorry about that mazjin!), but he's a genuinely super cool person

[noccolibroccoli]

Can I just add one more thing to the "Halli is cool" pile:

[greatmountainfloofsquatch]

Elon Musk continues to be a piece of shit. I hope Halli sues him.

my favorite calvin and hobbes comic is the one where his dad just rolls up and casually destroys his entire night by pointing out some neat trivia about record players

[6qubed]

#his expression in the last panel is black comic gold #the best part is that his dad was trying to be nice

are you sure. are you sure calvin’s dad is not a seasoned elder trickster. are you sure this isn’t the exact outcome he was hoping for

[backdropkid-deactivated20190630]

everytime there are nude breasts on the tv i unsheath my blade and use my lightspeed kata technique to expertly deflect the images before they can reach my eyes

[bisexual-lemon1]

How are you aware there are nude breasts on the television unless the light has hit your eyes

[the-seelie-court-official]

listen to me. listen. your actual job in life, and it sucks that your 5th grader teacher didnt explain this adequately enough, is to ask for help when you need it and to accept charity when it would take a weight from your shoulders. Otherwise you end up like Sisyphus- or even worse, Walter White

[theprideful-deactivated20251201]

idk if it’s the mental illness but sharing literally any information feels like oversharing. i’ll be like “i skipped breakfast this morning” and immediately im like “i might as well have told them where i buried the money”

[theprideful-deactivated20251201]

how dare you insult me with something so completely factual

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.
