Everything everywhere all at once is a film about a girl ripping the entire universe apart just to find a part of her mother that she feels understands her. And everything everywhere all at once is a film about a mother ripping the entire universe apart just to understand her daughter. And my chest feels like it’s caving in when I think about it too long

Having the first 10 or so minutes of Shang-Chi only being spoken in Mandarin was a POWER MOVE that I GREATLY ENJOYED

They’re also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and they’re working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.

[lynnafred]

They’ve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. It’s very cool. Right now they’re testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.

So its that easy huh

[sushinfood]

Of course it is

[ultranos]

Actually, this isn’t “easy” and is huge news. You see, Lego is absolutely meticulous about their quality control. Their standards for manufacturing are stupidly high, as are their safety requirements. You know that distinctive “click” when you pop two Lego bricks apart? They engineered that. That sound is so distinctive that it can be used to tell genuine Lego bricks from counterfeits and it’s a sound that would be based on shape and material.

Furthermore, one of the hard requirements for a Lego brick is that it must be compatible with any other Lego brick. If I buy a set today and pull a set from the 1980s? Those bricks would fit together perfectly. This requires a huge amount of precision engineering and controls on manufacturing quality. (I can’t remember the source, but I’ve at least heard that once the brick molds wear to a certain point, they’re pulled from the line and either melted down or turned into construction material for Lego HQ. Point being, no one is getting their hands on a worn Lego mold)

Recycled and non-petroleum plastics are different from other plastic. The chemistry is different. The timing and process to use them is different. This has been a reason why more companies haven’t moved to them, because there’s a drop in quality for material (so they claim).

What Lego just did is completely obliterate that argument. The corporation with some of the strictest quality control requirements for plastic just kicked the basic foundation of the “bad quality” argument out from under it, because if they feel confident enough to guarantee the same experience as using a brick from over 40 years ago, if they are confident enough that they can meet their own metrics at a huge industrial scale….

Nobody else has any excuse.

hey guys I need you to see this slide from my brother’s college’s mandatory sexual assault prevention training video which was so bad that the school had to release an official apology . everything about it has me fucked up

queer housing groups are a great place to meet people you would never, under any circumstances, want to live with.

[straightpeoplereceipts]

queer housing groups are like:

“hi manhattan folx. we are both fresh out of school and looking to split rent 3/4s* with one (1) quiet femme roommate. wed prefer to live with someone who is not greek, cannot practice martial arts and was recently fired from their job.

we are looking for a quiet person because it is a MUST that you do not ever speak to my partner due to his inability to behave normally. if you need trouble him, you will pass messages beneath our bedroom door at precisely 3am on sundays only.

you mightve heard about us from our previous roommate, moon. she will be posting in various local groups saying we sold her ferret on craigslist. please PM me for more details.

we are looking for some who

is not mentally ill

is not disabled

will not be seen or heard

does not have friends

will wash dishes for us

you would be living in a cardboard box in our living room. we have a washing machine and dryer but ask that you do not use it, instead going to the laundromat down the street and matching whatever you paid them to pay us as well.

we are both lawyers but one of us roams the streets at night wearing a mask with horns and performing vigilante justice. you must be able to perform first aid at all hours. (and of course comfy doing this xo.)

people with leopard geckos and capricorns need not apply.

*as in you pay ¾ of the rent.”

i think this is the least appealing local queer housing post i’ve ever personally seen, but a close second was the one with a communal household sex dungeon in the laundry room

IM LAUGJING SO HARD the picture looks so sleek and professional with the lighting but ITS A SPOOKY DOGE

[ziggy-bricks]

i’m so mad because luca is literally the first pixar movie to not be displayed on cinemas and/or ask for money/payment in order to watch it and its a movie about this two boys and their families/friends/people of the town who are just accepting who they are and trying to live in peace, which is of course, an allegory to queerness, and their journey to get there and it’s so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing but did not even get advertised??? are you joking??? they should’ve done everything like they did with onward or the other pixar movies, it deserves more recognition

[belladoes]

In Luca (2021), these two old women show themselves to be sea-monsters, right after Luca and Alberto are outed as monsters to the townspeople and are standing proud. This is a metaphor for older queer people seeing the new generation being 'out and proud' and finally feeling confident to show who they are too. In this essay I will-

[cassius-erosennin]

my mom pointed out that luca and alberto coming from the sea, and then going through a bunch of difficulties: language barriers, cultural assimilation, racism, prejudice and discrimination. is just a big metaphor for the immigrants arriving in europe (mainly through the italian shores) and i– can’t believe i didn’t see it before.

“Monica Lewinsky’s jokes are the expense of Hillary Clinton”

Ok, and? Bill Clinton used his position to pressure an intern into sex at the expense of Monica Lewinsky’s entire career, and Hillary Clinton both stuck with him and repeatedly dismissed other credible accusations against her husband. I hope Lewinsky lives comfortably at the Clintons’ expense until the end of time
