Actively fucking myself over at work rn by doing things i knowww could compromise my job (aka not sharting myself when boss and coworker try to treat me like shit)
Kinda dumb to grow a spine only now but seeing those people treat all the employees like dirt and said employees’ effort to fight back with an union and it not working made me lose it way faster than i usually do 🫠
The author, who spent more than a decade covering the scandal for V.F., shares the key revelations and insights that viewers of the new HBO
As the title suggests, this article presents just straight up facts about Jackson, and I think the facts alone are damning
His stans look at this like “welllll an adult man repeatedly slept in the same bed as random children and probably showed them porn for totally innocent reasons. One of the boys was also able to accurately draw the man’s penis for totally innocent reasons, too.” Do you hear yourselves? Would you ever make a fool out of yourself defending a guy who was accused of the same things if you didn’t like his songs?
Then his stans are like “ohhh, multiple people came forward with child sex abuse allegations that detail a similar pattern of behavior? Well that’s cuz the later accusers just studied off the previous ones—“ when in the fuck does that ever actually happen? Just come on. People need to be honest that they simply don't want to believe this is true
I think what's depressing is that this documentary didn't actually have the effect the Jackson estate feared it would. Like so many other abuse stories, enough people shrugged and moved on. It definitely gives you whiplash, though, to go on some people's social media pages, see them post things about how horrible Epstein was, and then turn around and earnestly say all of these child sex abuse accusations against their favorite wealthy, influential pop star were false. Oh, and did you know there have been new accusations made against Michael Jackson just this year?
I’m muting this because like Johnny Depp defenders, Jackson stans are just black holes of victim blaming and unpaid mouthpieces for their fave’s PR team
Modern research shows the public work together selflessly in an emergency, motivated by a strong impulse to help
“The notion that people panic and run screaming for the exits is a Hollywood fiction,” said Prof Stephen Reicher, an expert in group behaviour at the University of St Andrews.
“Characteristically, people stay and help each other,” he said. “We found this during the 7/7 attacks on the underground and the 1999 attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in London, where people looked after each other even though they feared other bombs.
“In our own research on the Leytonstone tube attack in 2015, there was an amazing level of spontaneous coordination by bystanders: some directed others away from danger. Some distracted the attacker. Some confronted the attacker. Each was able to act because of the others. Heroism was a feature of the group, not just the individual,” he added.
Prof Clifford Stott, a specialist in the psychology of crowds and group identity at Keele University, agreed. Modern research, he said, showed “bystander apathy” was a myth. Instead, strangers often work together in emergency situations with highly sophisticated unity.”
Bystander apathy is a myth invented by the New York Times to cover up that the police were called by several residents of the building, but the cops refused to act. The cops then told the Times that 38 people just watched her die (a seemingly arbitrary number and a physical impossibility based on where the attacks occurred), and the Times ran with it. In fact, Kitty was alive when the cops got there, and was being held and comforted by one of her friends who lived in the building because one of the people who saw her get attacked from across the street called her friend to go get her. Because people care.
You have just been attacked. How likely is it that someone will come to your help? If you remember the infamous case of Kitty Genovese in 19
I will always re-blog this. The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder has gone down in history as a story about everyone watching it happen and doing nothing and none of the story is true.
started a new job and this one guy is such a yapper im...

Kyiv is in complete blackout. Electricity, water supply and heating are down in the entire city.
The metro has also stopped due to the lack of power.
The temperatures in the nearest are forecasted to get as low as -25°Celsius.
I don't know why I even keep reporting these things here. It's like liveblogging my own slow death, to the world that treats it like a TV show they lost interest in.
