This is not an exaggeration. Your download speed would slow down to the point where Windows would make this kind of absurd estimate, and you’d sigh and leave the room for a while (because you couldn’t use the computer while it was doing this for fear it would crash and lose all your progress) and then you’d come back in 40 minutes and maybe it would now say 52 years or maybe it would say 3 minutes, who knew, not Windows.
Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.
That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!
Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.
Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.
holy shit.

Hey @mistresskabooms do you think something like this would work for us?
@candidlyautistic check this out! :o

And the best headline of the year goes to….
you guys I found the article and it’s fantastic
they did in-depth interviews with 137 scientists and about 35% of them mentioned Dawkins unprompted, and about 80% of those were apparently just desperate to tell someone how much they hate him
28% of scientists hate Richard Dawkins so much that they just start spouting off about his bullshit unprompted.
Because some days you want a small private gathering…and some days Arthur and his Knights drop by.
That last comment
why do so many “icarus and the sun” artworks and stories portray the sun as a woman? do y’all know who controlled the sun? apollo. icarus is gay as fuck, y’all.
Sometimes it was helios, not Apollo. Icarus was still gay as fuck
“Icarus we just escaped prison don’t ruin it by flying too close to the sun”
[Icarus already fucking launching himself across the sky for the sake of some godly dick]
woops
Guy getting himself killed to get some godly dick is propably the most Greek thing to ever happen in mythology
I showed my friend this and he goes “Icarus want dat Dickarus
this is incredibly grecian
life imitates art and vice versa
The reason it reminds you of a Renaissance paintings is because of how the people’s gestures and gazes direct your eye between each other and ultimately toward the central motif of the Beib getting choked.
It’s also the colour scheme and the lighting. The deep red and the pale greens, the lighting so dark that some figures are obscured but the others stand out with brighter lighting. Even the circular pattern in the back references halos or other decorative features meant to draw attention. 10/10 good Renaissance art.
And I enjoy the subject matter too.
And some of the hoodies and T shirts look like robes at first glance…?

It’s an insurance commercial
Muy yo, jajajajaja
13 years ago today, Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial starring Beyoncé, BritneySpears, Pink & Enrique Iglesias was premiered. #PepsiGladiators
Damn these were simpler times
so lemme break this down
-lord caesar iglesias, who does not sing in this musical commercial, has captured britney spears, pink, and beyonce to battle it out gladiator style -our trio decides instead of fighting, they will instead rock so hard that the audience forgets about their battle to the death -their musical prowess is so damn powerful they rock the foundation of the earth and overthrow caesar iglesias along with his stash of ancient roman pepsi -beyonce, britney spears, and pink drink pepsi while the audience cheers -enrique iglesias is eaten by a lion
To really appreciate the significance of this commercial, it’s important to understand the cultural context surrounding it.
OK, so to some extent musicans have always been treated like competitors in modern culture (and perhaps to some extent they are) but this was especially pronounced in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
It seemed like everyone had an opinion about whether Backstreet Boys or N'Sync was better, and for female pop singers, it was even more ridiculous. And it was all pushed HARD by entertainment news and media.
I first became aware of this as a young teenager when Christina Aguilera released her first hit single. You have to understand that just months before that, Brittany Spears had hit the Top 40 scene BIG. Nobody could even handle this young singer with her hypnotic voice, clean choreography, masterfully engineered and modern-sounding instrumentals, and flawless skin.
And then some OTHER singer with blonde hair has the nerve to think she can ALSO make pop music?! Obviously these two must be the bitterest of rivals!! (Ignoring the fact that it was the same people writing the music, and the two already knew each other from their days on the New Mickey Mouse Club.)
Magazines, radio shows, and television entertainment “news” all served up this narrative and ate it up like it was an all-you-can-eat-everyday buffet. And it extended beyond Brittany and Christina to practically any female pop “queen.” Because after all, there can only be ONE queen, right? RIGHT?!
OK, so now imagine this scenario where you’ve got an American audience who, for years now, has been fed the line that these singers are all bitter rivals. They just all HATE each other, y'all! In fact, if given the opportunity, they’d probably kill each other to finally get rid of the competition.
And then this commercial comes out, and we see the three most popular and polarizing female pop singers of the day, DRESSED IN ACTUAL (totally unrealistic, impractical, and unhelpful) GLADIATOR GEAR, ARMED AND READY TO FINALLY BATTLE IT OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
…And of course they don’t. Because they were never each other’s enemies in the first place. It was the people pulling the strings who were driving that narrative and baying for blood. The singers just wanted to make awesome music, and most of the audience just wanted to listen to awesome music.
So Pepsi basically pays for this huge cinematic allegory music video that basically calls out the entertainment news industry for its crappy treatment of these women, and a lot of people GET IT! There’s this huge positive reaction to the video, not just because the music is great, but because it resonated with so many people who wanted to shout, “YEAH! WE’RE TIRED OF ALL THIS CRAP TOO!”
Now, did the people at Pepsi know that’s the message they were sending when they created this commercial? I honestly have no idea. But I have to believe the singers all knew exactly what they were doing, because you can see it in the smiles on their faces.
If you have time to read this excellent analysis please do.
They did a 99 francs commercial *mindblown*

100-Year-Old Life Hacks That Are Surprisingly Useful Today
People don’t often look back on the early 1900’s for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation? The New York Public Library has digitized 100 “how to do it” cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.
Back in the day, cigarette cards were popular collectibles included in every pack, and displayed photos of celebrities, advertisements, and more. Gallaher cigarettes, a UK-founded tobacco company that was once the largest in the world, decided to print a series of helpful how-to’s on their cards, which ranged from mundane tasks (boiling potatoes) to unlikely scenarios (stopping a runaway horse). Most of them are insanely clever, though, like how to make a fire extinguisher at home. Who even knew you could do that?
The entire set of life hacks is now part of the NYPL’s George Arents Collection. Check out some of the cleverest ones we could find below. You never know when you’ll have to clean real lace!
