crows have to work jobs now because of our mistakes :(
Crows figure out it's easier to get cigarette butts from ashtrays, chaos ensues
What value would there be in life, if we are not together?

Harvard Extension School
Harvard's best kept secret.
Study part time at Harvard, in evening or online courses. Earn a degree, professional certificate, or take a course for enrichment.
You can get a Harvard level education, access to their networking opportunities and their brand prestige even if you didn't have a 5.2 GPA since preschool.
All you have to do is take 3 courses in person at Harvard and earn at least a B in each. That's it. That's the test to get in. No submissions of essays, teacher recommendations, high school transcripts, or ACT/SAT scores required.
Anyone can enroll at any time. How hard the classes are depends on your own scholastic abilities and pre-requisite knowledge. AKA study your makeup off until you're sure you're ready to be a Harvard student.
If you want to attend an Ivy league school regardless of your socioeconomic standing or past academic history look into Harvard Extension school.

don’t text i’m reading scathing reviews of jurassic world dominion
Steve Harrington vs. Demobat

i do think it’s interesting that in less than a decade after reviving both the jurassic park movies and star wars franchises, universal and disney, respectively, have fucked up what could have been never-ending theatrical cash cows to the point where the jurassic franchise is ending in critical disgrace and star wars has been relegated almost exclusively to disney’s streaming platform. how badly do you have to fumble bags that are mostly just “people and aliens in a far off galaxy and space” and “dinosaurs! what would happen if dinosaurs?” that the franchises became so devoid of any redeemable value that people are eh about seeing a cultural icon like darth vader wield his lightsaber or a website like rotten tomatoes, which grades on a heavy curve, especially for nostalgic projects, has your film at a 37% critical favorability and is being accused of making dinosaurs “uncool”. it’s fascinating. i hope the bubble bursts for marvel next.
Jurassic World is fascinating, honestly.
The premise is that the park believes audiences no longer find the standard dinosaurs exciting enough to stay profitable, and rather than like…reevaluating the purpose of the parks, they just make bigger and more wildly implausible dinosaurs to ramp up profit, and that leads to a disaster because it is a monsterous wreck that never should have been created.
Which is a great metaphor for the movie itself.
I found it hard to swallow the premise of Jurassic World in the first place - that kids would get tired enough of dinosaurs that the park’s owners would need a fresh gimmick to goose sales. Kids love dinosaurs! Heck, kids still go to zoos featuring animals that aren’t extinct. Everything that follows from that is utterly cynical and contrived and stupid, and we won’t even get into the gender issues or the lame plotting or the asinine Fakeosaurs who are exactly as powerful and smart as a given scene needs them to be.
The problem, if it is a problem, is that the park, in both the original and in World, *isnt* a zoo. It’s a theme park.
For zoos, you don’t need to have continuous profit. Zoos get a lot of their operating costs from donations, grant research, sometimes even public funds, in addition to admission and gift shops and concessions. A truly good zoo is like a museum, a research and rehabilitation facility, and an educational space.
A theme park is not. A theme park is all about profit. It’s all about thrill. It’s all about vacation packages and stock holders. And theme parks need to keep ramping things up with new attractions and new stuff to do to keep investment and attendance high.
Jurassic Park is a theme park. In the first movie, it’s not the SCIENCE that makes things go bad, it’s the capitalism; it’s Nedry, discontent with not getting paid enough, manipulating weaknesses in park security, selling the Dino embryos to a rival and the cascade of failures that had been overlooked because none of the people involved in this project had ever run *a zoo.* (it isn’t hard to design an enclosure for a large carnivore that doesn’t immediate fail during a power outage…)
In Jurrasic World, this is the same outlook. It’s not a zoo that has research and education grants keeping it going. It’s a theme park that needs to make a profit. A theme park needs a new roller coaster each year, a new show, a new thrill. You have to keep making your theme park more and more extreme.
That premise makes sense. The fact that World, as a movie, is just so bad, so over the top and nonsensical for the sake of ramping up the excitement and action to all new, even more extreme levels because they think that’s what we as an audience want for the movie to be profitable.
It’s the irony for me.
Just thinking again about the alternate version of supernatural where it all really meant something. Where the threads tied together into something beautiful at the end. It didn't have to be happy. It didn't have to be mind-blowing. It didn't have to be amazing, even. But I wish it had been something worth thinking about, something that moved me, something with a bit of significance. And I wish Cas had kissed Dean with tongue. But mostly the first bit.
brokeback mountain / supernatural
Oh my God. Cas was in LOVE with Dean. Like Dean would laugh and Cas would LITERALLY. CANONICALLY. Think "ah yes, that's the man I LOVE." He would say something stupid and Cas would think of him fondly. It's CANON. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.
brad pitt is already suing angelina jolie for defamation for calling him abusive so now seems like a good time to say:
angelina has maintained this entire time that all she cares about is the safety of her children
their oldest child maddox literally refuses to speak to brad
angelina has also said that she was deeply uncomfortable with brad because he chose to continue working with harvey weinstein after weinstein assaulted angelina. brad knew this but still worked with him anyway
when they divorced, the court ruled that angelina was allowed to sell her share of the vineyard she and brad co-own, and she offered to sell her share TO BRAD but he declined, so she sold to a company called stoli. stoli is now suing brad for mismanaging funds, so he’s suing angelina as a big distraction and because he thinks this will get her shares back to him, if he can prove she “lied” to destroy his reputation
brad is also lying and saying stoli is pro-russia, but the owner is a huge putin critic and has been for over 20 years. the owner is even banned from entering russia because of all their criticism of putin, but brad is lying to destroy this person’s reputation too
ps: brad’s also specifically asking for a trial by jury. wonder who he learned that from?
