Turns out being "non-peaceful" just means "being angry and complaining".

Who knew?

And apparently when Trump explicitly said they would protest "peacefully and patriotically", and some idiots started a riot despite that, it's a "coup".

Honestly, I'm surprised BB didn't mention the "insurrection".

Seriously, BB is often blatantly wrong about things. Certainly not proving the "smart people wear glasses" stereotype.

kind of a gif request but also kind of a rec, but the one episode con o'neill was in in peak practice, he has a scene where he has a really bad kidney infection and starts hallucinating and thrashing around and it is very hot but also not giffed yet so if you are looking for things to gif I highkey recommend that episode

i haven't seen it yet but i'm on it 👀

What did Pentatonix do now?

Okay so what everyone should probably understand going in is that I don’t like Pentatonix at the best of times – I find their covers intensely boring, of the “don’t change much, just slow it down and add some trills” variety – and they’re EVERYWHERE, especially this time of year. So to start with I’m not disposed to be kindly to them. They’re famous, they don’t particularly need my kindliness. 

But this year (or, googling, last year, but I just found out about it) they did a cover of When You Believe, which is a fantastic song that I love, from a movie I rewatch at least once a year, a movie specifically about Jewish people leaving bondage, literally the song the characters sing as they are leaving bondage….and put it on a Christmas album.

Which is tacky, and, well, I don’t ask you to forgive this pun, it’s tone deaf. READ THE HOLIDAY SEASON, GUYS. 

But they also cut out the Song of the Sea, which is the part sung in Hebrew in the original, which retells the death of Pharoah and is a fairly key prayer in Judaism. Just…sliced that last little bit of Jewishness out of the song. 

They had so many options. They could have learned it themselves and sung it; it’s not like vocalists aren’t used to learning to sing in foreign languages, and I gotta tell you guys with transliteration Hebrew is SUPER EASY to sing in. They could have brought in someone with knowledge of the Hebrew language to sing it, because IT’S NOT LIKE THERE’S A SHORTAGE, cantor is a Literal Job. Or they could have had it translated and sung it in English, though all the “God you are great and terrible you killed Pharoah’s army” probably would have killed the jingly Christmas vibe they were goin’ for. 

Anyway, it’s not like I listened to them to begin with so whatever, but they have officially joined Bohemian Rhapsody on the stream banlist. (Bohemian Rhapsody probably doesn’t deserve it, Queen is lovely in general and the song is fine, but it’s also seven minutes of nonsense and I don’t tolerate more than four minutes of nonsense.)

Eclipse and Breaking Dawn were both released in August, so it's not unheard-of for her to release around that date.

It’s not unheard of at all but book releases are very carefully chosen and August isn’t a huge month. You release an author you know will sell reasonably well then because you can make Lists that way.

My point about August is more the timeline involved instead of the particular month, though the month remains interesting to me anyway. My further point is that these are ALL marketing decisions (whether it’s to follow an established pattern or to take advantage of fewer big name or medium name releases) and not a sudden font of inspiration in the form of Stephenie Meyer overcoming crippling writer’s block.

aemidaniels replied to your post “Okay kinda specific what I’m looking for, someone hitting a mirror or...”

There's an episode of law and order svu where Elliot gets his arm sliced up pretty bad by a window. Not that he punched it but he did hit it with the assistance of a dude high out of his mind and raging. So technically he did hit it and get hurt lol Another one bounced his head through a car window and made him temporarily blind! Assisted glass hitting counts, right?

It happens in Foxcatcher with Channing Tatum. He broke it with his face.

thank you both :)

The Wonder Woman comic isn't real. It's an edit. (Google "i've been seeing this image passed around wonder woman" to see the original)

Thank you, I appreciate it. I wish it were real. But let’s talk about the fact that Gail Simone specifically DID say that the Amazons are trans-inclusive!
