Anyway I hate almost everything about the way the Russos direct. between not telling Tom Holland who he’s fighting in a scene and the fact that they locked their actors in rooms for hours to read the whole infinity war script without letting them process it on their own, and then those scripts turning out to be fake, it’s very clear that they don’t care about telling a compelling story. Not only is it disrespectful to the actors, but a good director should want their actors to fully understand the show they’re making so they can get the best out of them and find new hidden nuances. They would want to create the best art possible. A good story can still be good after being spoiled, because the journey itself is the interesting part.

But the Russos are admitting with their very direction style that these movies aren’t intended to be art, they’re products.

Elizabeth Warren Proposes Scrapping Student-Loan Debt for Millions

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren proposed eliminating student-loan debt for an estimated 42 million Americans with a wealth tax, seeking to show young voters she would ease one of their biggest economic burdens.

Y’all. This is huge.

[bi-boomer]

“75 Percent

“Warren’s policy would fully cancel loans in about three-quarters of households with student debt, according to an estimate provided to the campaign by Arizona State University assistant professor Raphael Charron-Chenier and Brandeis University law professor Thomas Shapiro.”

what if the teenage mutant ninja turtles exist in the mcu but they’re just really good at staying under the radar and criminals are too embarrassed to admit they got beat up by some guys in “turtle costumes” so they blame daredevil. peter parker worked as a pizza delivery boy for a while and brought like eight pizzas to a man hole cover but thought nothing of it bc nyc

[imposterogers]

peter parker: i once was one minute late delivering pizza and the dude was like “forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza” 

clint barton: oh cool u met one of the tmnt 

literally everyone: who 

clint: am i the only one in this goddamn city who knows about the crimefighting turtles that live in the sewers 

(they all think clint is playing an elaborate prank on them, especially when he shows them a photo of four guys wearing what are ‘very obviously halloween costumes’)

[sweetiesoju]

fun fact: it’s TMNT canon that the chemical container that hit Matt Murdock across the face and gave him his Daredevil abilities is the same canister that landed on the baby turtles and mutated them, so…..y’all aren’t far off

[captainlordauditor]

i’m sorry it’s WHAT

[theyoungestwhateleydaughter-dea]

TMNT started as a Daredevil parody.

Matt’s teacher is Stick. The turtle’s is Splinter.

Matt’s enemy is the Hand. The turtle’s is the Foot Clan.

It was originally a dark, edgy, turtle themed parody of Daredevil.

I can’t believe we’ve gassed coconut oil for so long. Like compared to 30 different oils, it’s trash and I will never ever use it in any of my products.

[maiknitta]

You can’t even use it in the winter cause your hair will be as crunchy as gel and you’ll look like you have a bad case of dandruff. And for all that time why bring it back out in spring? It’s just not worth it.

[poeticallymindlesshippy]

I see your exact point but when you throw that on after a hot shower. Skin feel like butter

[jehovahhthickness]

Just because I don’t like it that doesn’t mean I’m telling other people to not like it, babes. Do whatever works for you.

[canarycontessa]

The only real advantage coconut oil has over others is accessibility and affordability. I assure you if you could cook with argan oil costo would be selling the shit in gallons

[jehovahhthickness]

Of course, I’m not discrediting that because food cooked with coconut oil is great but I don’t like it in cosmetic products.

the president of nigeria is about to fuck boko haram up and cut his own salary in half and criminalized female genital mutilation

the president of guinea built/is building infrastructure and school and wells all over the country and is decreasing youth unemployment exponentially

the president of cote d’ivoire made school mandatory of children ages 6-16 and banned plastic bags while also building ultra modern trasportation infrastructure

the future is for real in africa 

[incandescent-justice]

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.

Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from  48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.

The letter didn’t come from the Nazi party, but from the publishing house which had expressed an interest in the German translation of The Hobbit. Tolkien’s response really is a thing of beauty, though, so it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

25 July 1938                                              20 Northmoor Road, Oxford

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. … I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearings whatsoever on the merits of my work or its suitability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully

J.R.R. Tolkien.

(Letter 30)

The Hobbit wasn’t published in German until 1957.

[correspondingnerd]

This might just be the politest “fuck you” ever written.

[geekandmisandry]

W.h.a.t.

[bramblepatch]

Not just “I wish I had Jewish ancestors, but I don’t,” but also “you do realize that’s not what ‘Aryan’ actually means, right,” and “you guys are making it pretty hard to be proud of my German heritage.”

[steakplissken]

Nazis: Are you Aryan?

Noted linguistics freak Tolkien: Are you?

[socialjusticesummoner]

psssst the reason feminists don’t advocate for the drafting of women in the armed forces is because conscription in and of itself violates core feminist values such as bodily autonomy. the feminist position on who should or should not be drafted is not “everyone should be drafted equally”, it is “nobody should be drafted at all”.

and if your feminism is thorough, you’re opposed to the imperialist and militarist mindsets that create a conscription service to begin with but, you know, whatever

I feel like after the spider bite, Peter wouldn’t like soda. I feel like he’d be too sensitive to the carbonation.

[zucchin15]

Tony offers him a soda but Peter is too polite to refuse it and drinks the entirety of the bottle.

Tony, a very concerned dad: Pete, are you sure you’re feeling Ok?

Peter, fucking shaking: yeAH I’m GREAT

[ebonyheartnet]

Hey @keep-a-bucket-full-of-stars do you want me to add something like this to the prompt you sent ages ago about Peter and hiccups? That’s only if it’s okay w/ you too though Esteban.

[keep-a-bucket-full-of-stars]

@ebonyheartnet sure omg that would be awesome 😊🥳 THANK YOU 💖💖💖

do you just stop and think how 2008 was this great turning point for the superhero genre due to the iconic performaces of rdj and heath ledger, where both heath and downey had their talents belittled by homophobes who did not like the idea of having ledger in the joker’s role after he starred brokeback mountain and by the critics and public who doubted that rdj could regain his prestige in hollywood and they not only starred in two of the most lucrative films that year but iron man and the dark knight became references to how comicbooks inspired films can be not only entertainment but bringing contemporary messages, having complex characters and inspiring social critiques. yeah those two icons were born on april 4th. amazing
