Doug Jones and Danny DeVito in a buddy comedy about a couple of elderly former henchmen unwillingly dragged out of retirement for one last caper. There's a running gag where they claim to be the original duo that the "one of them is short and fat and the other is tall and thin" trope is based on.
Deadly egg recall
The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.
According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.
The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.
me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"
article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”
me: no surprises there... fuck them
sandwich recipe
We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.
The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.
i love you on purpose!! on purpose!! i had a choice and I chose you!! it wasn't an accident !! I love you for who you are!! I love you on purpose!!
I think our use of short-form social media (twitter, bsky, tiktok) has kind of eroded our ability to have productive conversations. There really are a lot of conversations that require deeper thought and more words. Conversations that need time and consideration. These microblogging platforms really do not foster the culture to do that type of thing. Not that people can't be very reactionary on tumblr (this is the piss on the poor website), but we at least get to work through our dumbass takes in essay form? Which I think is more productive even if our opinions and beefs can be Kinda Dumb Sometimes. We can have a complete thought. We don't have to boil it down to the most "relevant" or "basic" information. And the fact that you can reblog an argument and a counterargument is fantastic. Misinformation plus someone debunking it as misinformation. A full discourse in which you can decide which party you agree with.
idk. humans are messy and imperfect and there are always misunderstandings and miscommunications and misreadings, but having to boil down our every thought into One or Two Things at a time kinda robs us of our voices and minds. A complete picture can never be viewed at once. Forced into pieces.
It is a skill (and a valuable one) to be able to say things concisely. But it is the only way a lot of people are communicating right now. And sometimes concise means an entire essay. We are talking in news headlines. And the headline is never the whole story.
like take this post for example. If this were bsky or twitter, I could probably say "I think our use of short-form social media has kind of eroded our ability to have productive conversations." Not much else I can add to it without making an entire thread. A viewer of this post may agree with me, or they may think "lol boomer is blaming everything on social media." And they have no reason to believe I'm not an Old Man Yelling At Clouds bc there's no room for my other thoughts.
But here I can tell you why I think that. I can tell you that it's not the people that are unable to have productive conversations, it is the platforms that do not foster participation in full conversations with each other. I can tell you that no, I don't think short form content is the birth of all misunderstanding, but it is not a breeding ground for nuance, either. I can tell you that I think it is a lot like news headlines, short and meant to draw you in, give you an overview, but not something that provides an entire picture. And that, much like getting your news from headlines only doesn't help you understand a situation being reported on, it doesn't help us understand one another very well outside of a surface level.
Anyways. My beloved hellsite. I love you long form blogging, I love you two hour video essay, I love you long-ass youtube comments in response to two hour video essay. I love you 24 episode seasons, I love you documentaries, I love you podcasts, I love you books.
"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.
people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"
they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited
I know what it means to be friends. Friends is when you’re 2 horsies lying down with your necks together and your legs stuck out

In the 2025 Pride standee, Vox has interesting shoes that don’t match his outfit. I noticed this when we were looking them over and didn’t see anyone else mention it. So we went and bought it (EXPENSIVE), to get a better look. I think his shoes are the Aroace flag.
More than just this standee, though, I think we have had good reason to believe he might be just as ace as Alastor, and that the show has been hinting at it for a while.
Firstly, Alastor had a nun outfit, then Vox appeared in a catholic bishop outfit in Stayed Gone. Both celibate roles.
Later we see Vox recoil with an Ew, No from Katie Killjoy’s offer to sleep with him, this is almost exactly the same way Alastor consistently recoils from Angel Dust when he offers to sleep with him.
In universe, we see Vox depicted on Love Potion posters, but completely baffled as to what Val’s love potion is meant to do. On the site it is subtitled with “What do you mean by that, Vox?”
I think it means he’s aroace lol.
Vox also reacts very oddly to Valentino when he thinks he might have implied they were romantic partners rather than business partners, immediately correcting himself to stress this is the case.
Again, this would make sense if he doesn’t feel romantic attraction the same way.
Note the poster in this scene
In Brighter, we never see Vincent show any inclination towards anyone throughout his human life, when he could manipulate or seduce individuals he instead pushes them aside. Despite leading a cult and having an ardent following before that, we never see him with anyone or any reason to think he ever was.
During the final battle, Vox declares “This is better than sex!” which seems to upset Valentino a bit. This would make sense if he wasn’t all that into sex to begin with and the battle fulfilled some other more substantial need.
Beyond these factors, my thoughts are simply headcanons, I think Vox does have some complication to his situation, which is why he’s shown as both Bisexual AND Aroace. His psychology is around control, murder and power but not in a conventional sexual or romantic sense.
Obsession. Not love.
Vox gets told “you are obsessed with me” twice, once by Al and once by Valentino and he reacts as if they told him he was in love with them. He outright blushes with Valentino.
He clearly is engaged when he and Val sing together in the finale, but I’d argue this is more complex than just attraction; he is singing about Alastor’s defeat. He sticks his tongue out right on the beat about “fleeing with his tail between his legs”
Vox also utilises sex as a tool of manipulation, clearly embarrassed when people catch him doing it to get what he wants from Val (as Alastor does, twice). If there was an ace element, he might not even realise HOW shitty this is to do.
I’d say he’s quite clearly a manipulative sadist, who enjoys people suffering to a degree, along with having little empathy to begin with. I think this complex element entwined his psychology means it is dangerous to lump him directly in with traditional aroace or ace individuals as he is not a typical example of this group in any sense.
As a villain he exhibits violent and controlling jealousy with Valentino’s partners, from the fish woman who he brings to the meeting to Vox’s persistent physical and emotional abuse and clear disdain for Angel Dust, who he KNOWS is important to Valentino, he’s one of the main things Val talks about with him. He dragged out Angel’s sin for really no reason.
I hadn’t seen anyone mention this and thought it would be interesting to point out, because if this was the case it means that Alastor and Vox MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER and are closer foils than I expected.
It is something I have found rings true writing Vox myself. I think there’s fun to be had with this.
(apologies if the images are a little low quality I couldn't post otherwise lol!)
"wtf is an egg laying kink?" my friend... I don't know how else to tell you this.... but it is all quite literally in the name
look at me. look me in my eyes. there are brave souls out here contemplating the eroticism of greasing a bike chain. we can't be gawking at every kink this side of light spanking or we'll be here all day
back in my undergrad I heard my 19 year old roommates tittering about sexy halloween costumes and ribbed condoms. one of them thought I was some kind of pervert bc I knew what furries were. they didn't even know what knotting was
Look, I understand that you're going through some shit, and you know I'll always support you, but I just had to fight your shadow-self in the kitchen. Yeah, I was getting breakfast and the enfleshed eidolon of your existential alienation was shooting, I don't know, some sort of beam.
It banished the Froot Loops to a far and sunless realm. I really wanted those.
The number of people responding to this post claiming to be bodhisattvas is hilarious. If you'd resolved your karma you wouldn't be on tumblr.
A warlord asked his teacher, a great monk, what he would do in his next lifetime.
“Oh,” he said, “I think I will spend a few lifetimes on Tumblr, most likely.”
The warlord was astonished. “Your merit and virtue are renowned far and wide!” he responded. “Why on earth would you be condemned to Tumblr?”
“If I did not post on Tumblr,” his teacher responded, “who would be your mutual?”
