Rhino experts discuss a bright approach to keeping poachers away.

1) Does not hurt rhinos

2) Discolours ivory (BRIGHT PINK) thus reducing saleability

3) Can be detected by airport scanners, even if ground up, thus increasing the chances you will be caught

4) Causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested by humans, thus driving away your customer base

Win. Win. Win. Win.

5) makes rhinos look adorable & fashionable

idk if it’s more wild that this was actually made in 1990 or that 1990 was 27 years ago

This is the funniest plot twist ever

it’s interesting learning which homophobic ideas are confusing and unfamiliar to the next generation. for example, every once in a while i’ll see a post going around expressing tittering surprise at someone’s claim that gay men have hundreds of sexual partners in their lifetimes. while these posts often have a snappy comeback attached, they send a shiver down my spine because i remember when those claims were common, when you’d see them on the news or read them in your study bible. and they were deployed with a specific purpose — to convince you not just that gay men were disgusting and pathological, but that they deserved to die from AIDS. i saw another post laughing at the outlandish idea that gay men eroticize and worship death, but that too was a standard line, part and parcel of this propaganda with the goal of dehumanizing gay men as they died by the thousands with little intervention from mainstream society.

which is not to say that not knowing this is your fault, or that i don’t understand. i’ll never forget sitting in a classroom with my high school gsa, all five of us, watching a documentary on depictions of gay and bi people in media (off the straight and narrow [pdf transcript] — a worthwhile watch if your school library has it) when the narrator mentioned “the stereotype of the gay psycho killer.” we burst into giggles — how ridiculous! — then turned to our gay faculty advisors and saw their pale, pained faces as they told us “no, really. that was real” and we realized that what we’d been laughing at was the stuff of their lives.

it’s moving and inspiring to see a new generation of kids growing up without encountering these ideas. it’s a good thing. but at the same time, we have to pass on the knowledge of this pain, so we’re not caught unawares when those who hate us come back with the oldest tricks in the book.

“The Cake Is A Lie” is a genuinely brilliant piece of environmental storytelling in video games and I will never forgive you people for what you did to it

slow-riot-deactivated20200720

Alright I’ve gotten asked to clarify this post a couple of times now and what I mean by “it’s a brilliant piece of environmental storytelling” is that the place where you see “The Cake Is A Lie” first written is an entirely optional section of the game. You can only find it if you look in the right spot and figure out what to do. It’s not a necessary part of the plot, but it can clue you in on what is happening-that glados is lying to you and manipulating you-way before it ever actually happens. If you manage to find the ratman den that “the cake is a lie” is scrawled across the walls of, then you have made that discovery well before glados ever mentions a cake, meaning that if you were willing to explore, then you as a player can start to put together the larger pieces of the story without ever explicitly being told. It was a really effective way of letting the story happen to you rather than you being told what is happening and that interactivity is an advantage that video games have over movies and books and I think Valve handled it perfectly. Now if only they would make a game sometime this decade…
