pretend i actually posted this on star trek day

"Star Trek was loved by housewives!"

"Star Trek was loved by working women!"

My grandma used to clean for this rich lady who had a color TV, and when Star Trek came on, that lady would make my grandma take a break from cleaning so they could watch the episode together. My grandma can still recall how thrilling (sometimes scary) the episodes were and how hot Captain Kirk was. Tiny coincidence that he shared some physical similarities with my grandpa.

So I would say it was definitely both. And for many different reasons.

So happy to see everyone call Marvel out on their bullshit

This is literally the entire comment section, I'm so proud

But seriously the audacity to post this in particular during Pride month

Sure Tim is the one that fell in love first, he's the one that stalked and still occasionally follows Jason. But he has a life, he has a job, duties and friends, he's something more than a guy in love.

But Jason isn't like that, sure he has friends but he doesn't need to check on them often. His only job is as red hood, he's busy, but not like Tim.

That's why he can't stop thinking about Tim, that's why his heart beats quickly and he has to remember how to breath. His love is everything he has other than red hood.

It's an emotion between obsession and need, it's love and self hate. Because how can Tim love someone like him, but he can't let Tim go. He just can't stop wanting him.

Trying to come up with a nostalgic media rec is like:

thing whose humour has aged poorly

thing whose humour was honestly kind of shit even when it was new, but you were too young to pick up the subtext

thing that was life-changing in its exact contemporary circumstances and incomprehensible outside of them

thing that's an inferior knock-off of a different thing

thing that's actually an unwitting conflation of poorly remembered fragments of several other things

thing that moves anyone you show it to to remark that it explains some things about you

thing where revisiting it prompts a profound sense of alienation as you realise it's no longer relatable to you

thing where revisiting it prompts a jarring revelation that this is probably why you have that one specific kink

thing that you swear "gets good" if you give it a chance

clark having a debate club winner trophy but crashing out two minutes into an interview with lois is so funny

[luvrrofdata]

If you showed ChatGPT a picture with four lights and told it it has five lights, it would just say some bullshit like, "You're so right! That picture does have five lights. Good catch."

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names

what the hell is going on

[penny-anna]

i believe in you Binface. you can do it. this could be your moment.

[penny-anna]

Please god it would be so funny

[penny-anna]

there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.

[penny-anna]

for people out of the loop:

Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

[butterflyslinky]

So what happens if Count Binface actually wins? Does he join Parliament? Does he have to take the bin off his face?

[penny-anna]

I've seen some people saying he would have to give up his title but it would seem that is no longer the case as of 1999; so, no, he can keep his ceremonial bin if he wishes.

Important to note also that Count Binface is the alter ego of comedian & political satirist Jon Harvey who seems to be an intelligent individual with reasonable politics. As I said no real downside.

[penny-anna]

The no hats rule clearly does not apply to him. He is not wearing a hat. It's a bin.

[thesummoningdark]

Experts* have determined that if elected, in theory he would have to remove the bin in order to participate in parliamentary votes.

Fwiw this is reportedly the precedent set in the 80s:
