A Frightful Hobgoblin

[midnightssea]

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

[quendergeer]

you'd think occasionally men would need to touch other men like this to manoeuvre them out of the way but it never happens

Here's a source for the analysis, but it probably is not the source.

Labor share of income hits record low as corporate profits soar

Workers’ share of US economic output has fallen to its lowest level since the government began keeping records in 1947, according to data th

Some points of interest:

Corporate profits are soaring. After taxes, they now take 12.3 percent of national output, far above their postwar average of 7.3 percent.

Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages have risen 3 percent since the end of 2019, Ip noted. Corporate profits over the same period have risen 50 percent.

The Economic Policy Institute calculates that since 1979 the productivity of American workers has grown 90 percent while the pay of the typical worker has grown 33 percent. Had wages tracked output, the average worker would earn $16.40 more an hour today.

The profits are concentrated among the largest corporations. Earnings at the 500 biggest US firms rose 28 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the fastest pace since 2021, and their profit margins reached 14.8 percent. The seven technology giants known as the “Magnificent 7”—Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Tesla—grew their profits 63 percent.

In the United States, the richest 1 percent of households hold 31.7 percent of all wealth. The bottom half hold barely 2.5 percent.

Tensions come to a head as the ohmu stampede bears down on a Torumekian position. Kurotowa shoots his own comrades-in-arms.

[quendergeer]

urgh this bit is so good, the way miyazaki captures facial expressions with incredibly clean lines compared to the depth of detail and shading on the equipment and armour is incredible, the arrogance on the faces of the knights and kurotowa's slight smirk of grim satisfaction just makes his character pop, and the tight framing works perfectly to capture the panic and overcrowding.

im not clicking on this because i dont care but the answer is Terry Pratchett, the Fable games, Jack Vance, the Last Unicorn, probably Morrowind, things of that nature. its not complicated

[quendergeer]

low fantasy is when you find out who cleans the toilets and the answer is anything other than "magic" or "slaves"

when youre driving a forklift. you have to honk without rhythm. to avoid awakening the invisible hand

[wumblr]

the funny thing about this and the reason i keep returning to this joke even though i have never read or seen any dunes is because there is no such thing as without rhythm. in order to generate even the appearance of such a thing you would have to resort to some pretty extreme math. which would probably wrap back around to not fooling a sand worm. was frank herbert stupid?

[quendergeer]

one of the things i actually liked about the original dune is that this is one of the most harrowing scenes in there, walking without rhythm is shown to be fundamentally incompatible with being human and it utterly destroys Paul in a way that exhaustion and even thirst don't

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

[spectrometrie]

i didn't need no imaginary friends i had Screaming Joe right here !
