These two have ruined my life.
I made a Hollanov playlist a few months ago. I put this song on it, because it fits them so well. I started seeing an edit for it in my head. I searched a bit to see if anyone else had done a Hollanov edit to this song yet, but I didn't find any. (That doesn't mean they aren't out there though!)

Trump tweeted this statement earlier this week, which incorrectly included Alabama in the list of states that would be impacted by Hurricane Dorian:
This error was quickly addressed by the National Weather Service & the correction was picked up by the news:
Of course, Trump couldn’t handle being corrected by meteorologists on the fucking weather so:
As someone who took two years of meteorology let me just say that a big concern regards mass panic when issuing weather alerts and warnings. You don’t want people unnecessarily leaving - jamming up the roads or putting themselves at risk (sometimes the safest thing to do is to stay put esp. if the roads are at risk of flooding), you don’t want confusion, and you definitely don’t want people to lose confidence in the weather warnings where they no longer take them seriously. And it doesn’t really help the cause when the fucking president of the country can’t issue a simple correction that HE WAS WRONG because of his fragile fucking ego.
Update: this fuckin guy is STILL going on about this
Also if you look at this photo it’s literally dated August 2 and Trump’s tweet was sent September 1 so this only further proves he gave out incorrect information after the fact so like… cool?
No words for the victims yet but at least he’s keeping up his beef with the goddamn National Weather Service.
Well if y’all can believe it, this story actually gets even weirder…
So earlier today Trump actually DISPLAYED AN ALTERED MAP IN AN OVAL OFFICE MEETING:
You see that line going into Alabama? Well…
President Trump on Wednesday displayed a map that he said reflected Hurricane Dorian’s original path, but the image appeared to be manually altered with a marker to show the storm’s trajectory continuing toward Alabama.
Trump later told reporters that he did not know anything about the changed map, but was adamant that original forecasts called for Alabama to be impacted by the hurricane. (x)
y’all i’m done
There’s a theory out there that he misread “All Bahamas” as “Alabama.” (Here’s one of many sources)
And of course he is pathologically unable to ever admit to being wrong.
child: *is passionate about absolutely anything*
parent: gotta insult it
Teen *hides passion because they were insulted for it*
Parent: why doesn’t my child tell me anything? Must be social meadia
stop trying to make fetch happen
patrick’s fond face where he presses his lips together and tries to suppress a smile but fails completely because he’s just so gone for this beautiful, dramatic man in front of him breathe if you agree
+ david’s face when he also presses his lips together and twists them to the side trying not to break out in a huge smile and his eyes light up and they’re both looking at each other like they could combust from love

Damn solid museum joke.
Seriously tho as someone who put literal years of effort into creating a Wikipedia hoax it’s basically impossible to get away with for more than like an hour. They’re fucking vigilant. I tried to build up trust by doing legit editing but my account got reviewed cause I approved a page that mismeasured the size of a ship by a few centimeters
One of the first classes I ever took in college, the professor said, “Use Wikipedia. Don’t use it as a source on its own, but look at what’s cited in the article you’re reading, and start your research there.”
Still some of the best research advice I’ve ever gotten.
While sitting in his high-chair, your baby drops the spoon. You get up, pick it up from the floor, give it back to Baby - only for him to throw it away on purpose.
If this scene sounds familiar to you, you might wonder why he does that. Is he rebellious and tries to upset you on purpose? Does he have a really silly kind of humor? No and no. In fact, your baby is busy conducting his very first scientific experiments. His brain is starting to understand two important concepts.
The first one is called “Cause and Effect”: When i throw away the spoon, mom picks it up. When i do it again, she does it again. Oh, yay!
The second is called “Object permanence”: When i throw away the spoon, it disappears - No, it doesn’t, mom picks it up! It’s still there, even when i can’t see it!
To fully grasp these concepts, your baby needs to repeat those experiments again and again and again. That’s annoying to you - but try to smile at your little scientist!
another cognitive thing they’re learning is “when i drop something, it will fall down every time!” - boom, gravity
also, as important, they’re learning social emotional skills like trust. “every time i lose something, mom, helps me. even if it makes her mad.”
always pick up the spoon - you’re teaching the kid that they can depend on other people
Important information for people who get annoyed/mad when kids “act out”
they’re just learning, fam, give it time
Again a good post send by God
I’m a nanny, and I’ve worked with a lot of babies over the last few years, (including twins, which, OH MY GOD). So yeah, I’ve seen a lot of this, and while I do encourage exploration and experimentation etc, repeatedly picking up spoons off the floor for forty-five minutes is so boring and gives me back pain, so what I do is: every time they drop something, I wait slightly longer to pick it up and hand it to them.
This also adds the concept of natural consequences to their understanding of cause and effect. Not consequences in a disciplinary way, but the idea of, “if I throw this thing across the room, now it’s on the other side of the room and I might have to go and get it myself if I want to keep playing with it.”

lol everyone talks about their dream job but honestly my dream is not having to work
Yeah my dream is to be able to follow all of my ridiculous and random passions without worrying about money.
what ever happened to personality!!! i want decorative towels that arent boring!!! i want NOVELTY!! i want people to come over to my house and look at my trinkets and immediately think this lady is a wacko and also her stuff is haunted
what happened with jordan peele that after years of comedy he just casually stepped into the role of The horror auteur of the decade
like i understand there’s a lot of overlap in the genres and in his work but i mean this guy was a sketch comedy person for years and then switched over to horror for his directorial debut and that one movie was so well done and struck such a chord with people (even winning for screenplay and being nominated for best picture despite being a low budget, black led film of the least award grabbing genre) that he’s already one of the respected auteurs of horror by the time the trailers for his next projects drop
in my brief experience in theater I learned that comedic acting is wayy harder to do than acting in dramas. In comedies, usually the characters ACT very seriously and it’s often the context that makes it funny. It’s why comedic actors can usually do serious roles pretty well but dramatic actors often have harder times with comedies
It’s worth noting that his TV show Key & Peele may technicality have been sketch comedy but each episode was basically a collection of short films, many using Horror and Race as subjects. I’d wager almost all of them having heavy involvement by Peele as a writer, actor, producer, and probably director too. That’s five seasons worth of crash course filmmaking on top of any other experience he may already have.
Get Out was also produced by Blumhouse, which is a production company that will give a very small budget worth of money and a wide release to basically anyone who asks. It’s kinda great because it means anyone from first time directors to people who want to use themes big studios would scoff at (both of which apply to Peele) can get stuff made.
To sum up: Peele is an incredibly smart and talented guy with way more film making experience that people give him credit for who saw a way to make a mark and took it.
I’m not an actor but among writers it’s a known adage that “horror is comedy without a punchline”. The audience usually doesn’t notice this because the punchline usually provides relief too quickly to consciously notice, but structurally, it’s true. Comedy is harder, because you have to sell the horror AND THEN the punchline.
So anytime people want to talk about Jordan Peele’s switch from comedy to horror, I always want to bring up this sketch, which is basically horror – but with a few key things that transition it to comedy.
Thing that makes it comedy: Absurdity.
The juxtaposition of the bad news with ‘80s competitive aerobics
The overly long cue cards that were nonetheless written in apparently under a minute, for at most a one cue-card message, just to apparently unnecessarily draw out things out
The apologetic look on the card holder’s face, while the director mimes a little dance that in no way matches the choreography
The idea that somehow the main character is supposed to answer these questions while he’s dancing? Live on air?
Imagine sitting at home and what these guys would’ve looked like – the one dude looking off camera and mouthing “motive??”, etc. Without knowing the story, that’s a pretty funny visual
The idea that anyone would go to these lengths to win, again, ‘80s competitive aerobics
However, note the horror elements:
The tension of more and more revealed information, changing from accident to not-an-accident to suspicion to revenge
The music starts as funny (and sets the scene), but it’s on an unending loop, again raising the tension as we wait for it to resolve – and it doesn’t
Actually, the music cues in general, along with the switch back and forth between the grainy ‘80s video recording and the more slick and dark “real time” camerawork, are both very horror-tastic
“Keep dancing”
The dancers’ smiles are really interesting – they start very fake and open-mouthed, with a lot of teeth, and then the main character’s transitions to a grimace, which maintains the open mouth with lots of teeth, but has a very different meaning. Then, as the scene progresses, the other character’s smile – while looking essentially the same as it started at the top of the scene – appears suddenly sinister
The idea that someone you’ve worked with for potentially months – talked to, choreographed with, probably stayed at the same hotels, bonded over the bagels on the craft table – has been planning to kill your entire family
Alternately: What if it really was an accident? So instead we’re watching the total breakdown of a man into paranoia and undeserved murderous rage
You can do this with a lot of Key and Peele sketches – there are a ton of horror elements, and what tips them toward comedy are the levels of absurdity and, to a degree, the resolutions (i.e., the punchlines described previously). “Turbulence” is another good example of this, I think, along with “Black People Telepathy”, “Weird Playlist”, and “The Telemarketer”.
Agree wholeheartedly with the above analysis.
The premise of “Aerobics Meltdown” is also inspired by a very popular meme of the time, even using the same music as the original meme-ified video.
straight men repress their feelings so severely with their friends and family, and then they come across a girl (whos been socialized to be Empathetic and Nurturing) and they find that they can tell this girl about their Feelings ! everythings great she’s The One ! in reality they just have a normal human bond but actually connecting with anyone is so foreign to men and their emotionally barren male relationships that it seems like something great and wonderful. so now girl is put on a pedestal that she’ll eventually fall from bc she’s human and not just a Male Feelings Receptacle and everyone loses all bc fathers refuse to cry in front of their sons
Whoever wrote this is brilliant.
