This is the best one
(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)
I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : “POV your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday.”
TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!
Tomorrow is March 28th
just remembered shows used to have 20-25 eps per season
As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.
Get rid of your fucking Ring cameras holy shit. That was one of the most chilling ads I’ve ever seen
😰😰😰😰😰
For anyone confused about why this "sweet ad" is actually evil:
ring is passing the surveillance they collect to ice
ring is using these ID features to search for/identify people that ice wants to deport/kidnap/disappear, & using it to spy on Americans in general.
This ad is the company's gross & sneaky attempt to appeal to humans' kindness [ I'll be helping people find their pets!" ]
They are trying to trick more people into buying this tool that will be used as surveillance on people living in the USA
AND~!!!
also probably trying to trick people into turning on features/settings that will make it easier for them to pass information to ice and other hostile governmental authorities
Don’t forget that Ring also announced a partnership with Flock at the end of last year, which uses AI surveillance cameras to track your license plate and share that information with law enforcement (again, including ICE).
Get rid of your Ring camera.
Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."
if 10 million dogs a year go missing, and it helps find 1 dog a day, its purpose is not to find dogs.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
we rate dogs guy breaks the fourth wall for a minute to break the ad down.
ICE now tackling press.

Interview where he talks about what happened.
A photographer for Getty isn't even a journalist so much as an archivist. ICE violently disrupted the apolitical documentation of what they were doing, violating any and all rights that might flimsily stand in their way. It would have been just as wrong had they done this to an MSNBC reporter hellbent on a spin, but now Abernathy's neutral action as a photographer has been rendered necessarily political by ICE's violence.
They know what they're doing is objectively evil. They have no intention of stopping.
previous tags from @nihilisticspacequeer, which provide a bit of context for why Abernathy threw his (extremely expensive) camera
“I am Andrew Ryan, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No,’ says the man in Washington, ‘it belongs to the poor.’ ‘No,’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘it belongs to God.’ ‘No,’ says the man in Moscow, 'it belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.”
Hi, so this is my power point on hockey fights! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to put my speaker's notes in numbers down here because of how this website works (as far as I can tell), but here you go:
Slide 1: I made this for a 5-minute power point party, upon the birthday of a friend of mine who really likes Ryan Price.
Slide 2: It’s not actually a hockey fight unless both players drop their gloves at roughly the same time. Then you’re allowed to punch the other guy. If you're just shoving each other around, that's sparkling roughing. If you punch a guy with your gloves on, that’s a much bigger penalty. If you jump a guy and start wailing on him before he drops his gloves, that’s also a bigger penalty (although still a fight).
Slide 3: An enforcer, like from the 50s-80s, used to be a guy who was basically a boxer who was barely taught how to skate and who kinda halfassedly played hockey. “Enforcers” these days are all quite good hockey players, or they used to be. Pat Maroon, a (retired) notoriously punchy boy, was drafted (admittedly 161st overall) because of his pretty skating! Also there are supposedly more fights in the AHL, partly because the guys are all trying to make the big club.
Slide 4: Brad Marchand is the guy on the left, and Tom Wilson is the guy on the right. Brad Marchand is like 5’9 and called the Rat King, has 1026 points in 1139 career games. Tom Wilson is 6’5 and built like a refrigerator. This year, Wilson has 42 points in 40 games, but historically he’s around a 40- to 50-point per season guy. Pests aren’t necessarily any body type, but power forwards do tend to be bigger. (These numbers are as of when I put it together, which was in late Dec/early Jan.)
Slide 5: Sid = Sidney Crosby, probably the best hockey player alive. Nate = Nathan MacKinnon, also a very good hockey player, but one with a notorious temper. Ryan Reaves is Black in hockey and Black players do kinda get funneled into the “Enforcer” role, because of racist microaggressions, but he also has never really scored all that many goals. He can play actual hockey, though--he skates just fine, can handle the puck, etc. No one's been a boxer on skates in years.
Slide 6: Mats Zuccarello is five-eight. Maybe. Officially. For real, probably five-six. Also here is a picture of him trying to check the biggest guy ever to play hockey, who was over a foot taller than he is: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/mats-zuccarello-of-the-new-york-rangers-hits-zdeno-chara-of-news-photo/169809542 (Cross-checking is where you have the stick in both hands and whack the other guy, usually in the back, with it.)
Slide 7: 2-5-10: 2 minutes for instigating (a fight), 5 for fighting, 10 for misconduct (occasionally elevated to game misconduct, which is 10 minutes + you're thrown out of the rest of the game, so someone else has to sit your penalties). The "Is Kim" part is a joke from a discussion of KJC's Will Darling trilogy. Feel free to ignore it if it isn't your fandom.
Slide 8: Fights represent 5-10% of concussions in a season, which is still a lot! But not as many as it could be. Here's the thing, though: I am not a fan of fights in hockey, but I'm also a giant ref hater, so until the refs stop being COMPLETELY USELESS, I think there should be fights.
("REF YOU SUCK!" chant echoes faintly in the background.)
Slide 9: THE BEST KIND OF FIGHTS ARE GOALIE FIGHTS!!!!!!!!! There was just one on Jan 19!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed!! Anyway, here's the one from Jan 19 (Bob vs Ned): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifqx0RgXWxM
and here's the one I linked in the presentation, the one from 2020 (Mike Smith vs Cam Talbot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXW_xojz8Cw
Even if you hate hockey fights, goalie fights are--well, not a lot of punches hit. @beautifulduckweed described it as "two Michelin men trying to duke it out," which I think is beautiful.
And I can't go without putting a link to the almost-goalie fight from 2023, with Jordan Binnington and Marc-Andre Fleury, who should have gotten to punch Binnington a little! (or a lot) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ9DtnfF55o
CONCLUSION/disclaimer: I wrote this for a bunch of people who only know things about hockey that I, personally, have told them. (Mostly.) I simplified things somewhat. If you have any questions, you can send them to me, or you can drop them in the comments of this, which is where I'm mostly answering hockey questions these days.
With 16 nominations, Sinners makes history as the most Oscar-nominated film of all time.
Here's something from Margaret Killjoy. Not cropped to annoy those of you that loved cropped screengrabs. Also not cropped because I have better things to do and found all of this on Facebook, where someone other industrious soul copied it from Bluesky. If you haven't listened to Margaret Killjoy's podcast, Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, I recommend it.
To update this, the astronaut didn’t actually do it, she and her wife were getting a divorce and the wife plead guilty to lying to the feds about it
And framing your ex for a crime mid-divorce while they are actively in space is some Agatha Christie level shit

I just remembered that this was a thing that was HILARIOUS in 2006 and apparently that was ten years ago now.
Old people: join with me in remembering how funny we found this on LiveJournal.
Young people: look at this lolrus, it’s so happy, it has a bucket.
And then they stealed away the bucket and we realised we had fucked up a perfectly good elephant seal and given it anxiety.
listen this vintage meme is high quality and i will hear nothing said against it
20 years. I am not happy about this.
I’m delighted at the bucket reappearing but dismayed at the passage of time
Happy 20 years to Lolrus and his bucket!
forgive me father for i have opened a notification and read the message within to make the red dot go away and then forgot to reply for a month . it will happen again
i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"
while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"
well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question
third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"
i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."
and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3
@luckyybones hope you don't mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct
"You could get up early and do it before work" I could also wait for a magic beanstalk to start growing in my living room LMAO. Let's focus on things that happen in the real world
ICE fucking abandoned the scene in a Minneapolis neighborhood and left their battle plans and designs on the city, fake license plates, and challenge tokens which they reward themselves for arrests. Looney Tunes shit.
After ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them away and gained control of their vehicles. A firsthand accoun
"Demonstrators investigating the abandoned ICE vehicles apparently retrieved these “challenge coins” that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people. This “coin” is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death."
hello whta the everloving fuck is this are ICE just cult members who believe themselves to be some kinda assassin creed shit?
It’s Nazi paraphernalia
