month starting on a monday we have no excuse guys lets get to work and lock the fuck in
yk its actually very chic and avant garde to start on tuesday the second
many claim theres nothing more subversive and revolutionary than starting on wednesday the third
In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.
Taylor Swift does this
no she doesn’t
You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

SAM REID as LESTAT DE LIONCOURT The Vampire Lestat Season 3 Premiere + Concert
At 1 PM on a Friday I get an email from my boss. I'm busy as hell so I don't check it immediately. Then I get a phone call from my boss, which has almost never happened before. I'm a white collar worker, a historian. There's never a 'historical emergency' requiring a phone call to kick me in the ass and get to work.
The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.
It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.
The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.
This map required:
North and South Vietnam in it
All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated
Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (it’s in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but I’m knowledgeable enough to identify it)
Has Laos and Cambodia in it
Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it
So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'
I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.
Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.
The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.
The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc
At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"
My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond
good fucking god, jesus tap dancing goddamn christ, I'm glad I was asked to look at it and then find a real map
My fear has never been that AI would replace human intelligence. My fear has been that the people who Know Things and the people who Make The Decisions are almost never the same people.
We’re throwing real intelligence out on the street to starve while worshipping the shambling Frankenstein-ed corpse of knowledge puppeteered by those who see us as disposable assets.

remember when websites were written on purpose, and not generated by autocomplete in the instant you run the web search? anyway, unrelated, this webpage purporting to relay expert knowledge on which plants are safe for my snake's tank just told me I would know if he was biting them and getting irritated because he would start pawing at his mouth.
i mean, that sure would be a sign something was wrong

Hennessy has to know who Flint is, right? Like, besides probably having heard the “Mr. Flint” story before, it wouldn’t have just gone unnoticed that four months after disowning and ostracizing your son (basically) in a scandal involving pirates in Nassau, the most feared pirate in Nassau in a generation suddenly comes into existence. I certainly hope he knows. I hope every time news came from the West Indies it kept him up at night - hearing the words profane and loathsome, and realizing that he was right about the rage James could be capable of when driven to it.
#ohhhh i hope he knew#i hope he knew IMMEDIATELY#i hope he connected the dots#james was SO devoted to the plan to bring nassau back into the english fold and i hope hennessy knew how equal and opposite#flint’s devotion was. to keep nassau free from the influence of england because FUCK england thats why#i hope he knows how badly he fucked up. if he didnt realise how much of an asset james was before i hope he realised retroactively.#that he realised how much of a threat an angered james mcgraw was and realised that maybe it would have been better to keep such a#powerful and driven and unyeildingly loyal man on their side instead of actively turning him against them#i hope he mourned. for the man james had been and the man that hennessy helped turn him into.#i hope every time news came of another act by the pirate james flint that hennessy remembered a 10 year old boy - bright eyed and quick#on the uptake and smarter and more charismatic than two thirds of the ruling class. a boy with loyalty written into his very bones.#i hope he remembered a young james mcgraw every time he heard the name captain flint.#& i hope he knows that he’s a significant part of the reason that that loyal and bright little boy became the most feared man on the ocean.
the moment near the end of a stitch in crime where after they've spent the whole episode establishing columbo as Not Good in hospitals or medical settings, like FAINTING not good, looking so uncomfortable while talking to a man near the observation deck of a surgery, mayfield's preparing for the surgery of the man he tried to kill like a week ago, and the camera pans up to the observation area, and you see columbo watching the surgery like a hawk.
it's just. it's so. he's so uncomfortable in this hospital and ESPECIALLY around surgery, as you've seen earlier in the episode, and you look at his intense, concentrated, deeply unwell frown as he watches with both hands gripping the desk in front of him, and you can tell he's not doing well, he's practically squinting in frustration, but he's watching the surgery anyway because he can't let another innocent person die. he's so determined and conscientious and if i think about that moment for too long i will EXPLODE.
and THEN right afterwards a ways into the operation mayfield looks up again, and the camera pans, and columbo's no longer there, and you think- oh no, did he faint? did he decide he couldn't watch it? but no, because just then he and several officers barge into the operating room in full surgical garb so that he can search for the piece of evidence he needs to nail the killer. it's one of the all-time best columbo moments, in my opinion, because it shows columbo's incredible courage and strength so simply and so, so effectively.
can he sit on your dash for a minute?? he'll be very polite :]
you have to start to scroll away and then come back and reblog this
