Some interesting additional context, The Rock has been paid $50 Mil for an upcoming contract. And he should still be lauded for passing some of that profit on, but I LOVE the way the article I linked phrased it when contextualizing that paycheck from its source, Amazon:

Most Americans wouldn’t come close to earning $50 million in four lifetimes. That’s the kind of money that sets up a family for generations if handled properly, and Johnson earned it for one movie. A single movie. It’s honestly incredible. It also goes to show just how deep Amazon’s pockets are. Jeff Bezo’s company is swimming in cash. $50 million to Amazon is a rounding error. For an actor, it’s the largest upfront payment in the history of entertainment.

$50 million to Amazon is a rounding error.

My partner: Takes me to a beautiful beach at sunset with his family.

Me: "Look! Algae mustache!"

Can't take a phychologist anywhere nice.

[mac-3-impact]

Try “psychologist” instead. Spelling counts people…learn how or look it up in the dictionary for a change

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Hi there, @mac-3-impact !

A phycologist (with an H) is someone who studies algae.

I am a phycologist (with an H) because I study algae. That's why me putting algae on my face is the joke!

Glad to be part of your learning journey today.

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

[trickstertime]

I also respect the author for putting them all online for free

#what the FUCK is going on in the animorphs books

Why not find out they’re all online for free

[redead-red]

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

QUICK LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME OH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay crisis averted.

although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear.....

better turn up the volume...

not to be all “think of the children” but the fact that companies can openly admit to using methods to intentionally form addictions in children and we’re not killing their ceos in the streets yet is astounding

[irlwakko]

when I say “kids now don’t know how to disconnect” or “kids don’t know how to be bored anymore” i don’t mean “kids should sit in a white room in a solitary chair eating saltines and never touch technology” i mean “kids are losing the essential ability to imagine and create their own play because they have a constant 24/7 stream of more overstimulating material than they could ever watch at their fingertips, and when this stimulation is removed they literally don’t know what to do with themselves”

when I say “kids are addicted to video games” I don’t mean “ah these darn kids and their dag-blasted Ataris” I mean “video games are being purposefully designed to squeeze as much money/ad engagement out of the individual consumer as possible and mechanisms like lootboxes and season passes are intentionally engineered to create addiction”

[irlwakko]

i know it’s purely anecdotal but every time i think about that toddler who told his dad “don’t forget to like and subscribe” at bedtime because he thought it was how you said goodbye to people i feel sick

Not to sound like a boomer but playing in mud, using sticks for swords and guns, and gathering plants for potions are all vital to childhood

Happy Labor Day

[spectralsuggestions]

i like the concept of soulmates—not a “you’re destined to meet me, and love me” kind of soulmate, but a “i’d pick you, every time.” kind of soulmate. a “no matter what happens, and what has happened, i want to go through it with you.” kind of soulmate. a “i love you by choice, and you’re a blessing, and i’m going to continue thinking about you this way not because i have to but because i want to.” kind of soulmate. a “you help me rest easy when everything is difficult” kind of soulmate. a “in every possible outcome, i want you there, to share it with me.” kind of soulmate.

[plum-soup]

I love headlines like I’m sure the situation was more nuanced than this but this is just a funny situation to imagine it’s like a real life political cartoon

[hyperspacial]

The worst part is that it's even LESS nuanced than the headline makes it seem. I assumed that she felt threatened by the people with chalk, but no.

someone wrote "susie please, Mainers want WHPA -> vote yes, clean up your mess" (WHPA=women's health protection act)

And Susan Collins got home, saw it, called the police because of the "defacement of public property", police came and noted it wasn't a threat, and public works washed it away.

[anarchopuppy]

I literally couldn't think of a less threatening action. People show up, write a polite message that literally starts with "please" in a medium that is not only non-permanent but will be washed away on its own the next time it rains, and then dip. At no point are they even anywhere near her. Technically it wasn't even on her property!

This is "the right way to protest" if ever there was one. Doesn't even block traffic. And yet, she still wants the people who did it arrested. Seems like it's less about how you say it and more about them wanting to punish anyone who disagrees with them, huh? Seems like it might be pointless to try to appease them if we're treated as criminals no matter what, huh?
