Funny meme: This current wave of conservatism is like if the Regan-era conservatism happened again but less cool, less interesting, and included 20 ads because everything has a premium service now.

Real take: The coming Rambo prequel symbolizes an attempt on the conservative right to reignite the idea that masculinity is tied to military service (patriotism) in an attempt to create a response to the "masculinity question" that has been manufactured for the last ten years. Furthermore, it mirrors the return to 80s American militarism and war--

never forget the universal rule of the order of things: People Will Not Read It

signs at stores? émail? menu ?? instruction ? post online ? caption with andswer to question ? group hand outs ??? street sign ??? no. The Written Word Is The Enemy

#The number of compliments i have gotten for reading a thing

The ability to occasionally Read A Thing will make you a hero in your workplace, especially if it is for example an error message that tells you what you need to do differently, or instructions on unjamming a printer.

how dare you say we put jam in the printer

Ok reblogging this again because story time.

I work in tech, and much of what I do is support sales reps within the company by resolving errors with the software they use.

There is one sales rep who, every single time I send her a message or email with extremely specific instructions that will resolve her issue, does something completely different from what I tell her. Every time. Without fail. It is so glaringly obvious that she has never read even a single word that I have written to her.

So one day, she sends me a message that says little more than "(software) is broken, help"

So I do my standard song and dance of asking her what she's trying to accomplish, and what specifically is stopping her from doing that. And eventually, after much unnecessary back and forth, she tells me there's an error message. I ask her to send me a screenshot of the error message. She does.

The error message basically says, "these two required fields are blank. To resolve this, please fill in these two specific fields, and then click save."

So I take a few deep breaths.

Then I lie to her.

I message her back, saying "hey yeah, for some reason it's not loading that screenshot on my end. Could you type out the full text of the error message for me?"

She does.

I ask her if she still needs help.

She does not respond.

like i quite literally have never been more passionate about anything than i am about the human race’s invariable desire to tell stories and the fact that we always find a way to do it, through spoken language and written language and body language and visual art and theater and poetry and oral tradition and a million other things. there are so many things we take for granted about the human experience that we never stop to think about but i really want you to take a step back and consider how fucking amazing it is that our need to tell stories transcends all boundaries of time and geography and borders and language. it is one of very few things that is legitimately intrinsic to human nature and i will never stop being completely in awe of humanity for that.

I’m just saying, if they weren’t endgame, the directors/producers/whoever really should not have let Jon look at her like that. These scenes in The Punisher made me melt and live rent free in my head. I mean that first and last gif?

We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.

That's all we ever wanted. To arrive at Hell as a result of our own dubious navigation skills instead of as the result of Satan owning all the road sign companies.

"To arrive at Hell as a result of our own dubious navigation skills instead of as the result of Satan owning all the road sign companies."

This is my favorite quote of today.

Apparently people (music outlets) were complaining about Noah Kahan's new album, The Great Divide, being too long. But I just checked and the deluxe version is just an hour, and a half and the regular album is just an hour... Dudes, that just like an extra 20-40 minutes. Shorter than the average movie these days. More importantly, while there are definitely weaker songs on the album (imo) the entire album as a whole is GREAT. So its just an hour and a half banger. So, what are ya'll complaining about???
