I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of plastics is collapsing

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of information is collapsing! *remembers generative AI, nods to self* our age of information is collapsing.

I wish every single racist arsehole who piled on the Jason Arday plagiarism nonsense an I hope you can't sleep at night for at least the next six months. This was never about academic integrity

[ratantics]

Jason Arday was killed by a racist witch hunt, plain and simple.

It's true that Cambridge University failed in their duty of care to Arday by putting him a position of power that left him vulnerable to intense scrutiny that he clearly couldn't handle, but it's also true that the media circus around this has been completely overblown and honesty quite disgusting to watch.

The media took the petty grievances of a racist with a grudge and turned what should have been a minor controversy into a borderline harassment campaign against a man who most of us didn't even know existed until a week ago.

This was never a story about a professor lying, it was a story about a black man lying.

People of colour are not aloud to be flawed, that is a privilege that seems to be reserved for white people only despite it being something that is true for every person.

Nobody is perfect, but not everyone gets to be Imperfect.

Shame on Cambridge University.

Shame on the media.

Shame on everyone who contributed to this.

RIP Jason Arday

First look at the Two Whales set!

A lot of you might have seen this photo by now posted by u/Emotional_UFO on the LiS subreddit. The only reason I'm two days late is because honestly, when I first saw this, I thought it was AI. The OP has never posted in the LiS subreddit before and their last post was two years ago. The diner looked like it was in a remote location by a lake instead of Steveston (the location of the previous set leak that I found where Arcadia Bay's main street is), and the most confusing part was I couldn't find any similar posts ANYWHERE. With the last set leak, it was in a populated area so locals were asking about the film crew in the Richmond subreddit, but I found it suspicious that somehow, nobody in Vancouver noticed a fake diner spawning on a random beach?

However, the last two days showed cast and crew in an area of Vancouver that matches the background of the Two Whales photo. Here's Dmitri M. Johnson and Silas Howard's recent stories, respectively, with the same rocky shore and mountain backdrop.

We already know that LiS is filming around Howe Sound, Vancouver based on previous photos shared by the crew, but the Two Whales photo might not be as remote as I thought. Instead, I think the set is at Sunset Marina in Vancouver. Multiple shows have filmed there before, and photos from alternate angles show lots of buildings, boats, and a parking lot. The 2019 Nancy Drew show on The CW repainted an empty restaurant here as "The Bayside Claw."

Adding onto the fact that all the text is legible in the Two Whales photo and no objects are melting into each other, the photo is very likely real! Down to the Pan Estates sign being accurate to the asset in the game:

I think the show is making Two Whales the signature restaurant in Arcadia Bay, so it gets its own location with a nicer view (which will also look better on camera) instead of being part of the main street. The nearby parking lot is also a good spot to film scenes like Max and Chloe breaking into Frank's RV in episode 3. Now I have to wonder what scenes they were filming last month in Steveston if not Two Whales...

Once again, thanks to @leaderofthebadguys for helping me piece this together!

Extremely fucking stupid bc genuinely who cares. Walking sticks are literally for anyone. They help you when you walk around. Perfectly healthy and abled bodied people use them while hiking because they just work.

And what if it was just a fashion thing? It used to be trendy. It gives your outfit a different vibe. Experimenting with fashion is fun, there's literally zero things wrong with using a cane because you like the way it looks or how it makes you feel.

Every single person choosing to use a mobility aid in public normalises their use, and makes it less likely for me to get harassed out there. It just becomes a regular thing you see while out in public. And that's the exact thing ableist TERFs like Stock are actually against - Not even mentioning the absolutely obvious misogyny here.

Covid was a mass disabling event. It continues to affect many, many people. Denying reality and gaslighting disabled people will not make us go away

Also a few dead characters birthdays

Jenny Kirk: August 27th 1881 (17 would have turned 18 later that year)

Jake Adler: April 3rd 1874 (25 when he died)

Bessie Matthews: October 11th 1843 (died in early 1895 at 51)

*Depending on the time frame/when Arthur died he was either born in 63 or 64

The / mean the characters birthdays most likely happened during the time frame of the game

Also these are my headcanons the AI overview is wrong about John and Arthur’s birthdays since they don’t have canon birthdays. John and Abigail are the only ones with canon birth years since the rest are rough guesses

One thing about the post-finale wave of new Jax haters that frustrates yet amuses me is that a lot of them are actually former Jax simps.

Like, 6/10 new haters I've encounter in the past two-ish months used to adore Jax.

You can search the Jax tag on their blog and they were making thirst posts about her.

They were selfshipping with her.

They were trying to justify every misdeed and woobify her.

They were demonizing Ragatha and Gangle for standing up to her.

They were taking their Jax plushies on dates to restaurants, and movies, and fairs, and etc.

They were exploring their fetishes and kinks using her character.

They unironically wanted the "I can fix him shirt."

They were unironically using Pomni and Ragatha to self-insert into the show to be with her.

They were making OCs who's sole purpose for existing was to date her.

They were writing fics about marrying her.

But the revelation that she was in fact a woman the whole time broke their brains.

Now they're back tracking hard and trying to hide the transphobia behind performative "lib speak" (for lack of a better term) so they don't lose their ally points.

They want to be seen as an ally because it makes them feel good, but they're not willing to put in any of the actual work, including the self-work of addressing why being attracted to a trans woman makes them so uncomfortable.

They just want credit while being given a pass to be transphobic. Which they're not getting, and a lot of them are having temper tantrums about it.

On days where it doesn't outright piss me off, it's really entertaining to watch them flounder in a hell of their own making.
