Dreamt I had to come up with a new aesthetic and my idea was "celestial uncle"

Celestial uncle was like... unflattering middle aged man clothes but printed with centuries old cosmological diagrams and various esoteric imagery

Can astrologers use astrological charts to understand people's character and lives? Our new study put astrologers to the test

Astrology is very popular — both Gallup and YouGov report that about 25% of Americans believe that the position of the stars and planets can

Astrology doesn't seem to work.

Some highlights:

Astrologers helped design the study

No one did better than random chance, even though they only included people in the study who are experienced with astrology and stated that they expect themselves to do better than random chance

They gave every astrologer a set of 50 things about a person and 5 birth charts to choose from. They weren’t even coming up with the chart themselves!

After taking the test, most thought they nailed it. Zero out of 152 did better than 5 out of 12. None nailed it

Astrologers who rated themselves highly experienced (“world class experts”) did the same or worse as those who said they have limited experience. Both performed the same as random chance

This is hilarious

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

american ronin grips his baseball bat tight and flicks his wrist. after a beat your head explodes off your neck into the atmosphere and the baseball homerun organ noise plays

[femboy-c-cups]

To the people tagging this: I'm gatekeeping, if they're signed onto a MLB team are not a ronin. don't you know anything about american culture

i've seen a lot of bad grey anime art of darker skinned characters over the years but this one is hard to believe is even supposed to be sincere it's bordering on purple

[maykitz]

they went for the highly clichéd dark skin-white hair combo (again) but were so against actually giving her skin a dark value that the contrast that makes that design choice so popular in the first place doesn't even exist. it looks terrible. unless it turns out she's supposed to be a walking corpse it's shit, and even then. a little bit of saturation and warmth and immediately it stops wildly clashing with her hair and gold design elements

[maykitz]

i personally like the white hair thing a lot as overused as it is, but putting her in a more 'natural' palette overall makes her look really nice, actually
