Absolutely losing my mind over little grandpa

[assiraphales]

absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag

[assiraphales]

fun little info graph I found

[mylordshesacactus]

[id: three identical number lines with 0 at one and and 100 at the other, labelled “Fahrenheit” “Celsius” and “Kelvin”. The ends are labelled, respectively:

Fahrenheit: Really cold outside - Really hot outside Celsius: Fairly cold outside - Dead Kelvin: Dead - Dead]

OP, it's only more useful for Americans because you're not regularly boiling water.

0° Celsius gets you ice. 100° Celsius gets you tea.

It's a very simple system.

[mylordshesacactus]

Genuinely fascinated by this world in which Americans don’t boil water on a regular basis and a thermometer is necessary to know whether water is frozen or boiling.

[foxgirlmigraine]

"is the water in the ice tray frozen yet luv"

"oh iunno lemme get the thermometer"

now that florida legislators have legalized child molestation because they hate trans people so much, i think its long long past time we bring back political assassination.

anyone who voted for this shit deserves to have their skull caved in, full stop. no excuse.

Reading about Ancient Greece is is like listening to a professor go “actually, [fucked up thing you may have heard] was not broadly true of Classical Greek society, and the inhabitants of most city-states would have found the idea disturbing”, and then a voice from the back of the room calls out “except for Athens!”, and the professor just sighs and is like “yes, thank you, Timmy… except for Athens”.

[cheesetheory]

“Ancient Greece was very fucked up” factoid actually just statistical error. Average ancient Greek person only somewhat fucked up. Athens Georgicles, who lived in Athens & was unfathomably fucked up, was an outlier and should not have been counted.

white men making tiktoks about how relatable it is that they fell down the white supremacist/men’s rights activist pipeline as a teen but are now SOOO liberal and cool………ur experiences are the furthest thing from universal.

[rosemarythunder]

remember the hell that was being a loudmouth sjw feminist with only a basic grasp of theory and an extreme amount of anger and self-righteousness in high school. trying to babyfeed feminism 101 to male friends who go home and watch those “TOP 10 FEMINIST CRINGE MOMENTS” videos. lets talk about THAT instead

Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.

[gorgonsach]

unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol

[explorerrowan]

Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.

The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country.

3.24.21. Los Angeles

Community members gathered this morning to demand that the tent community in Echo Park be left alone from LA city council member Mitch O’Farrell. O’Farrell has a history of siding with developers and real estate and has allowed or carried out multiple acts of violence against his unhoused constituents.

[thundergrace]

Surprising to absolutely no one, a few hours after these lovely photos were likely taken, LAPD brought hell down on the demonstration. I saw estimates of 400 cops, 100 cop cars and helicopters (that are at least $900/hr).

So when we say defund the mother fucking police, think about this moment when possibly tens of thousands of LA's tax dollars went to this pointless show of power instead of to the unhoused community the demonstration was in support of 😡

And please tell everyone of 'Echo Park Rise Up' and support this movement.

Apartheid Elon strikes again. 

[justsomeantifas]

Reminder that Tesla stock climbed for months after the Bolivian coup and back in February:

“Samuel Doria Medina, candidate for vice president of Janine Áñez, revealed these days that he intends that the American billionaire businessman Elon Musk, be the one who uses Bolivian lithium for the manufacture of batteries in his Tesla vehicle company. For this, Doria Medina proposes that the factory be installed in Brazil, under an agreement with Jair Bolsonaro. This footprint aims to deduce that Musk was a feverishly interested person behind the coup.” (x)
