Don't even look a the Harry Potter trailer, don't think about, don't give it a time of your day
Tom Scott best to ever do it bc that "the alternative is not doing it" mindset is actually what is getting me out of my deep depressive episodes and letting me do all the cool art stuff I want to. Go do the thing, go talk to that person, go live that life has become my motto, at least in part thanks to famous Thing Doer Tom Scott
serious talk, yes 100% on all of the above. tom is genuinely such an inspiration on stuff like this because yeah..he really is just a person who just does whatever he wants forever and it's so beautiful. and he makes the stuff he wants and he stops making the things he no longer wants to do and comes back on his own terms when he feels up to it. sometimes you really do just need to slap yourself on the cheek metaphorically and go "I can try and do stuff or I can never do anything forever". doing nothing is easy, it saves you from heartbreak, from pain, from discomfort but it can also get really lonely fast. personally I really look up to tom for how much he travels for one, there's so much world out there and for the longest time I've been too scared or anxious about money and planning to see it. hopefully that will start to change more and more. I have a bingo of goals for this year and traveling is in there. peace and quiet and rest are beautiful and good and necessary but Doing Things, not getting stuck is also a must. and I think it's awesome that tom lives his entire life looking at everything like well. I could do this. or not. and then he does it because the alternative is not doing it. simple as that.
Person of Interest: Chess Archetypes
"Chess is rarely a game of ideal moves. Almost always a player faces a series of difficult consequences no matter what move he makes." ~David Shenk
God I wish that were me
the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.
Something that never ever gets old for me is how PoI consistently redirects Reese's violence from the normal, crueler things we're used to seeing from action protagonists. The most obvious thing is him kneecapping people instead of killing them, of course, but it's a constant bit throughout the show.
You see him with blowtorch and someone he needs to get information out of, but then he starts burning the guy's money instead and it's just as effective. He tells people that he has a dangerous substance (acid, nitroglycerin, etc.) and then takes advantage of their panic when he throws what's actually water or corn syrup or something on them. He got kidnapped by a dirty cop? He shoots the cop only AFTER making sure the cop is wearing his bulletproof vest. He's in a life or death struggle with an agent sent to kill him? He intentionally stabs the guy in such a way that he can get to the hospital for treatment *if* he leaves Reese alone, and he tells the agent this. He has a disgusting abusive US Marshal tied up in his trunk. Does this mean murder is inevitable?? Nope! He's gonna dump him in a Mexican prison!
It's so refreshing to see these exercises in restraint, because so often the Dark Brooding Hero has no mercy and leaves a wake of death and torture that we just choose not to think about. Yeah, John Reese leaves a wake of chaos and property damage and business for orthopedic surgeons, but he's not a murderer anymore, and that's the whole point.
It feels appropriate to repost this seeing as the movie is out in a few days and this has made me giggle ever since I made it a couple years ago.
I was born in the exact right generation I love being an unmarried woman in my twenties with my own bank account and no children

'Just switch to linux', 'Just switch to firefox', 'Just switch to ellipsus', 'Just buy a VPN and pirate it' okay, or- hear me out- tech companies can stop making their products worse, because I shouldn't have to change my entire workflow and spend time and money learning new programs and tools just to have a bearable online experience
I havenāt been to a family gathering since 2019 and I do not regret it in the slightest. If one good came out of COVID, it was realizing how peaceful it is to not be home for the holidays. I love sitting at home, getting stoned, eating Chinese food and watching movies. I love seeing other peopleās family drama and thanking God it is not me. One side of the family has stopped telling me about the drama that occurs at events in hopes Iāll start coming again but no, I know the players involved, I saw the play for 19 years straight.
well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments
*mark talking about his truck*
"I have a truck!! I LOVE that truck!! Its an electric truck-"
NOT A CYBERTRUCK.
Yea, his face changed SO FAST when he said that š
Being online and not knowing imperial measurements is fun because you'll be on the internet seeing memes all talking about being six feet tall like it's a huge giant massive hulking big man size and just once decide to look it up and it's just 183 cm. That's like... 3 cm above the male average here. You could be that height and nobody would remark on it because that's literally the most normal height to be.
And then I look up what 8 inches is in cm and jesus absolutely fuck that. If I saw that irl I'm going to lock myself in the bathroom and escape through the vents.
revisiting that one scene from the viking funeral
I love this so much.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Harold, John and Bear are pretty much perfect and I love the blue background!
y'all, it was always going to end this way. from the moment mark scout told mark s. about reintegration, it was always going to end this way. mark scout literally looked mark s. in the eyes and said "we're going to have a life, and it's going to my life. we're going to live in my house with my wife and have the life i want. and you're going to like it because you're an extension of me." he didn't see mark s. as a person and that, in the end, was his greatest downfall.
mark s. did what mark scout asked. he fought his way to the elevator and he ran ms. casey to the stairs so she could be gemma again in the outside world. he saved the poor, tortured, woman trapped in lumon's basement because that was the right thing to do. but then, when faced with a choice between dying forever or turning around to try and somehow have a life of his own? with the woman he loves? of course he turned around.
this doesn't have anything to do with which ship is better or what was the most logical thing to do or even what mark and helly are going to do now. the point is mark s. stood there at the door, at the literal precipice of death, and said "i want to live. i want to live. i want to live." and come on, wouldn't you do the same?
