On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner, an unarmed Black man, was murdered by white NYPD officers whilst arresting him after they suspected him of illegally selling cigarettes. He was choked to death using a banned chokehold manoeuvre while he pleaded with officers, telling them 11 times "I can't breathe". On December 3 of that same year a grand jury decided not to charge the NYPD officer who put Garner in a lethal chokehold. The event sparked protests and rallies across the US. On July 13, 2015, an out-of-court settlement was announced in which the City of New York would pay the Garner family $5.9 million. While the killer officer was eventually fired in 2019, none of the police involved in Garner's murder have been charged with any offence. Instead New York City painted the words "Black Lives Matter" on one lane of a short stretch of 5th Avenue.

[byjove]

Movie about a depressed and rather morbid autistic man planning to commit suicide and picking up a number of odd jobs in an effort to raise enough money to meticulously plan and prepay for his funeral so his mother doesn’t have to worry about it after he is gone. He begins to connect with people and enjoy life for the first time while working part time as a greeter in the funeral home, helping an eccentric old lady organize her basement, walking 7 dogs and maintaining a feral cat colony for a guy with a broken foot, playing a number of bit parts in local ads and stocking the shelves at the convenience store at night. In the end, he has befriended many of his neighbors and he decides he does not want to die and goes back to school to become a funeral director instead.

[byjove]

He is popular at his funeral home gig because he keeps accidentally saying things that are very reassuring and death positive. Because he wants to die. He eventually donates his funeral fund to the old lady’s granddaughter after her sudden death so she does not have to sell her grandmother’s prized possessions to pay for her funeral.

[byjove]

The old lady gifts him one of her ceramic cats at the beginning of the film which he reluctantly accepts out of politeness. Near the end of the film, he adopts a friendly cat from the cat colony that looks remarkably like the ceramic cat and names it after her, signaling his commitment to surviving and caring for his cat the way the old woman lived for her ceramic collection.

you ever think about how funny it is that basically every animal on earth has a secret shiny player 2 palette swap just in its back pocket

[inhumaninterest]

Would it help to know there's more?

Melanism is the reverse of albinism, the animal has an excess of pigementation.

And then there's Abundism; where there's only a partial excess resulting in much larger patches of melanin but without completely covering the animal

And Leucism which is partial albinism.

[ayellowbirds]

There's also erythrism (excess or dominance of red coloration) and xanthism/xanthochromism (excess of yellow coloration) as well as their lacking/reduced pigment inverses anerythrism and axanthism.

(typical and erythristic badgers together, source [mistakenly labeled as albinism])

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

[roach-works]

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.

[fangirltothefullest]

My phone literally tells me to shut it off every so often to keep everything optimized and your laptop shouldn’t be running 24/7 or it starts to malfunction. Even machines need time to reboot, recover and rest. Everything that uses energy needs those moments of recovery and rest.

[t4timekeeper]

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.

Damian: yeah i like to take videos of animals i see in the wild. i don't see as much in Gotham as i did back in the league, but there's some cool squirrels around sometimes. Tim: oh you have videos of squirrels? show me, i like squirrels. Dick: yeah let us see! Damian: *gets out phone, brings up video* Tim and Dick: *watching over Damian's shoulder* *distant screams of pain in the back of the video* Tim: Tim: dude where the fuck was this? Damian, absently: this one? i think this was outside Titan's Tower. Tim: Dick: *more screams, crashes and bangs* Dick, casually: hey those screams kinda sound like Tim. Tim: Tim: iS THIS FROM WHEN JASON TRIED TO KILL ME?!? Damian: hm? oh, yeah, probably. Tim: YOU WERE THERE??? Damian: not IN the tower; Jason cracked the window of his car and left me to wait outside with a Kindle. Tim: Dick: Damian: i was reading 'Crime and Punishment'. Tim: WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU THERE?! Damian: i dunno, he just told me he had to run a few errands before he could drop me off at my father's. i didn't know one of the errands was beating up you. Dick: and you heard the screams and just didn't check or worry? Damian: did you see how fat that squirrel was? i was distracted. Tim: oh my god-

I love you. I'm glad you exist.🫂

[ankle-beez]

surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change

[ankle-beez]

going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written

[amultitudeofyellowrodents]

you might be on to something, I've never heard Miss Piggy being called problematic either

[calellon]

i'll forever miss how the internet felt before you had to second-guess the authenticity of every single piece of media you came across. silly videos used to be just silly. fun was coincidental. wonder was just wonder. digital art had character and soul. AI has taken the taste out of everything and irreversibly poisoned the creative sphere and the people still pushing it forward are the doom of both joy and the quality of being.

[nitewrighter]

Ozempic scares the shit out of me. You're telling me there's a drug that takes away both the craving side of hunger and targets the brain's rewards center for eating. You're telling me it takes the joy out of eating and it turns you into a skeleton. Why did we turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into a drug. What the fuck.

Do you guys remember when we thought 2016 was going to be one of the weirdest years of our lives? It’s fucking wild to me how it turned out to be just the opening scroll text of our Star Wars of weirdness. 

[copperbadge]

Well, this post from March of 2020 has aged in fascinating ways.

(Last time I got questions about how 2016 was weird so just to forestall those here’s the last time I answered it.)
