I still think it’s objectively fucked how the world is built for morning people and if you wake up later than everyone else you’re seen as a malicious aberration of some sort. I am that but it’s not because I wake up at 11 fuck yourself

This happened in 2025.

His name is Chris Gatlin. He’s a Black man. AI has, for years, been worse at recognizing Black people. Black activists have been speaking up for years about how police use of AI will perpetuate racism in the justice system.

The victim repeatedly told the police that he was not a reliable witness due to sustaining a head injury from the assault. On top of this, police pressured the victim into identifying Gatlin as the suspect, even though he had already identified two other suspects. It took 17 months police to finally hand over the bodycam footage, which they conveniently forgot to say existed in the first place. The case was dismissed soon after.

MESSAGE TO TEENAGE GIRLS: Your eyebrows are fine, but also, they genuinely do change your face so so much and are really fun to play with, but waxing and plucking can cause scar tissue that prevents hair regrowth, so if you can find a way to do what you wanna do by just shaving them or using drag techniques to cover them, that might be preferable in the long run.

MESSAGE TO MIDDLE-AGED MEN: Your eyebrows are soooooo fucked up, dude. You look craaaaaazy. You gotta at least bleach those things if you expect anyone at the office to take you seriously. What's your problem.

Slaves who escaped were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

Jewish people who escaped the Nazis were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

The law is a horrible judge of morality.

[cynicalclassicist]

After all, the SCOTUS says that the POTUS can break the law through official actions. if the people at the top say lawbreaking is fine to do horrible things, why should it be bad for you to break the law to do good things?

An unjust law is no law at all, and all that.

I think more than anything if you aren't viscerally disgusted by suburbia and what it represents and the kind of spiritual rot inherent to it then I don't think anything I say, no matter how exhaustively I try to explain myself, will ever bridge the gap in understanding

Like if you think about suburban fantasies and shit and think "What's wrong with this, this is cozy and fine, idgi, who's being hurt here, you guys are being jerks" and not "Mass Grave Of Smothered Souls" I don't know how we could talk about like, art, politics, life

[parkchanwoohoo]

I really do not know how to explain this. There is a Rorschach test where you look at a manicured lawn and a nuclear family happily grilling some hotdogs on there and you either smile or you start screaming like you just witnessed a murder and the two camps just aren't gonna get along

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

this is an EXTREMELY fun style to work in, and also

many of the most iconic romance novel covers you’re probably picturing when you think “classic painted romance novel cover” were produced by one prolific, masterful artist

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

[sindri42]

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

she just died this year back in july. rip beefcake queen

legit so annoyed about the way the corporate media wants to paint those women waiting outside the court as crazy and as only being there because Luigi is hot. I looked up pictures of them outside the court and they all held signs and were there to send a message: "health over wealth", "denial of medical care = violence", "murder for profit = terrorism", "the United States healthcare stole my livelihood", "insurance lobbyists line politicians' pockets", "healthcare reform NOW". Yeah, they're there because he's hot for sure. Also, there were a lot of men as well but hey, that's not helping the narrative right?
