it is always narratively correct to make your characters sleep together before they sort through the hundreds of lies and misdirections between them. make things worse make things worse make things worse #i love betrayal #i love lying #i love people feeling bad about themselves

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

A humble snubnose eelpout on its way to the whale fall buffet when some nearby humans give it a quick, unintrusive study:

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

For the first time in my tenure on tumblr, it's "THAT'S A PHOTOGRAPH?" and not "THAT'S AN OIL PAINTING?"

“Larper” being used like “poser” is so annoying bc actual LARPers are cool as hell. Get me some armour and a fake sword too

Gustave Caillebotte - The Floor Scrapers (1875-6)

Original on top, later version below

“Despite the effort Caillebotte put into the painting, it was rejected by France’s most prestigious art exhibition, The Salon, in 1875. The depiction of working-class people in their trade, not fully clothed, shocked the jurors and was deemed a ‘vulgar subject matter.’

The images of the floor scrapers came to be associated with Degas’s paintings of washerwomen, also presented at the same exhibition and similarly scorned as ‘vulgar’”.

[text reads: “how it sounds to me when people defend generative AI:”]

[transcript:

okay, but have you thought about the fact that some of us don’t want to use our brains and only want to contribute pollution to the world?

what about people who can’t think of groceries? what about people who need AI chatbot to tell them what groceries are?

I’m sorry but i really just can’t care about anyone else’s future or the future of the world because I wanna see what i look like as a Barbie and to me, that’s always been top priority.

if we don’t have generative AI, the white house is gonna have to photoshop pictures of Trump onto Jesus’s body. that’s kinda messed up, don’t you think? (scoffing laugh)

yeah well if you hate generative AI and you eat food, you’re a hypocrite because the food industry actually uses like a bunch more water… so you know what’s more selfish than wanting really bad to see what you would look like if you had high school in the 80s? eating so you don’t die. so maybe stop eating meat, and produce. and stop drinking water, and then we’ll have way more water, and you’ll be less concerned about the water supply. if you stop eating and drinking, we’ll have enough resources for this whole country to be made up of data centers.

a lot of people actually rely on generative AI now to write their work emails for them, because writing work emails sucks and is really boring. so you’re gonna ask all those people to figure out how to communicate directly with their coworkers then? (claps) yeah, good luck. let’s just kill the planet, so we don’t have to talk to each other. thanks.

i personally haven’t had a conversation that hasn’t been put through an AI chatbot in like, 6 months, and I’ll continue isolating myself from my own humanity until it’s like I was never even here.

(staring blankly with increasing panic as she puts her hand to her throat)

AI voice says, “remember to breathe”

(exaggerated gasp and heavy, relieved exhale) what would I do without you, Claude

trying to explain to tumblr that the Middle Class in not their enemy

sentimentalslut

saw someone say that someone complaining about only having 7k in savings makes them contemplate “doing something bad”

you know that 7k covers like. one hospital visit WITH insurance, right?

sentimentalslut

“people who make six figures shouldn’t be allowed to complain —“ most people who make six figures are, these days, solidly middle class. where i live, a combined household income of $110k is *lower middle class*.

“people who can afford homes —“ are typically 400-600k in debt for them. also if “can own your own home” is your threshold for the rich you are contemplating eating, i think you are genuinely stupid

“boohoo your investments dropped, stop complaining rich boy” idk how to tell you this but. most of us have a retirement account. you should probably open one

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

pointless-letters

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

pointless-letters

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.
