I feel like Jane Austen's novels are often minimized as "cozy" and "cutesy" when actually they are defining works of English language novels and insightful, often biting social commentary. and Im tired of people reducing her to like a "cozy author" or boiling her books down to a few bland romance tropes. she refined the novel form to an art. she defined genres of literature. she continues to influence creative works all over the world now. and idk im tired it is late and I dont have all the right words for this but it is just so frustrating

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

Wonky 3 cube house in Helmond, Netherlands, 1bd, 1.5ba, approx. 840sqft, $338k approx. USD + $234/mo. maintenance.

This is the whole house. It looks like 3 separate units, but each pod has its own outer entrance. Inside, all 3 pods connect.

It's so angular, isn't it? I think it would take me a while to get used to it.

The kitchen is on the other side of the stairs.

Look at that window. It looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.

Very nice cabinetry.

Here's a little corner and it must be cozy-warm with the 2 radiators.

The half bath.

On the next level there's the living room.

Then here, they have a home office.

The full bath is a shower room.

Here, there's a closet, then a small platform, and a ladder to the bedroom. There's more storage underneath.

Look at the triangular opening.

So, the bedroom is at the top of the home. I like the way they angled the clothing racks. Very convenient, too.

This is interesting- looking down the ladder, you can look straight out that window.

There's a lovely park nearby.

Rotterdam has a whole apartment building composed of these! We love our cooky architecture here.

[wheresmybambi]

sorry i know the point is the quirky architecture but what I can’t get over is a whole-ass beautiful, updated house being 338k USD. *sobs in American housing crisis*

"I asked chatgpt-" well I asked Lady Catherine de Bourgh and she condescended to advise me on the arrangement of my humble abode.

#never thought I'd prefer mr Collins sentiments to anything in the world but here we are#this is what ai has done to me#pride and prejudice

@enkindlers

Honestly AI and Mr Collins have a lot in common.

Knowledge without wisdom or critical thinking

A tendency to be a yes man

Taking a long time to say basically nothing

Doesnt care about right and wrong, but does care about avoiding controversy/scandal/being canceled

Answers to the rich and powerful not a conscience

A little bit useless

Annoying as hell

[enkindlers]

You're right and you should say it!!

dog, leftists aren’t gonna get anywhere if we have the numeracy of five year olds. Not only is this not true, it’s so laughably far from being true that if you have even a vague sense of how much anything costs, you should immediately be able to tell this is bullshit.

Jeff Bezos’ net worth (or any ultra rich person’s net worth) is hard to calculate because it relies on assets that may not all be publicly disclosed and that shift in value. But to be generous to this tweet, I’ll go with the highest estimate that I’ve seen: $250 billion.

Bernie Sanders’ plan, according to his own published figures, would cost the federal govt just shy of $50 billion a year, if the states pick up 33% of the tab (aka the full cost is estimated at $75bn)

If you expropriated ALL of Jeff Bezos’ wealth, it would cover 3 years of the program (and not actually, because if you tried converting Jeff Bezos’ net worth into cold, hard, tax-paying cash, his net worth would drop quite a bit).

Anyway we should tax the ultra-wealthy way more, but in order to build an effective political movement to do that it would be very helpful if people had like, a fraction of a sense of how the world works.

I hate the type of off-grid prepper hippies who daydream of the apocalypse where they could just keep on living the exact same way they were before as the world collapses, everyone else is in hell while they're just having a tuesday. They get so smug about how everyone else is just Not Trying Hard Enough if you tell them that not everyone can just do that, and then tell you to just start growing plants in your garden that you can process into the medications you need, instead of just opting to die when you can no longer access modern medicine.

The primary medication I need to manage the permanent chemical imbalance in my brain is methylphenidate, a stimulant. Do you know what's the closest damn thing to a plant-based natural substitute that would do the same thing?

Cocaine.

This is how I feel about anarcho-leftists. Please explain to me how my mom is going to get the complicated synthetic drug that she needs for lungs to keep working. The base answer to “how will x work” is always like “well humans will naturally want to do things to help each other” or whatever but the processes for making these things are so complicated; you don’t just need the thing itself, it’s the machinery to make the thing and the packaging to store it and the transportation, and you have to make it at sufficient quantities for all the people who need it and you have to figure out the transportation logistics of getting it to them. And the answer is just “don’t worry, all of that will just happen spontaneously and naturally at the right time in the right quantities without any breakdowns.”

And I have to imagine even the people saying that understand what absurd bullshit it is. The real answer is just that disabled people are an annoying fly in the ointment and they don’t care if they die.

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book

hi, this is your gentle reminder and PSA: there are ELECTIONS happening in November 4th. PLEASE GO VOTE. Trump is the most unpopular he has ever been, but does that mean your average independent, or republican will vote for a dem this time around-likely no- they probably will just skip the process entirely if they don’t have a candidate they feel strongly about. this is why i’m asking YOU SPECIFICALLY to make sure to go vote. and i don’t wanna hear any doomerism shit about how voting is a waste of time bc of whatever, guys voting is the last of anything we have it is clear most of these people who represent us do not actually care, HOWEVER trump currently has the house, senate and courts and making it even slightly harder to do anything or having a large enough group to speak out against what he’s doing will help hundreds of thousands of people in the US. now more than ever is it important to make sure that they know that we do not stand for this

Hey!

THERE ARE FUCKING BALLOT PETITION PROPOSALS ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR.

THINGS LIKE WEED, CENSORSHIP, VOTING RIGHTS ETC. GIVE A SHIT AND LOOK IT UP ON YOUR STATE'S ELECTIONS/ SECRETARY OF STATE PAGE.

[humming-fly]

Adding onto this to say if you are a California voter MAKE SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED FOR NOV 4TH AND VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 50!!

Prop 50 introduces a way to counteract Trump's play in Texas and other red states to rig districts to produce more republican house reps, by making it so that if (and only if!) Texas and other states make those moves to redistrict California will counter proportionally with its own districts. It's a short-term play that will expire in 2030 and the state will go back to its usual non-partisan districting, this is purely to make sure we see fair midterm and presidential elections which is as you may infer EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

This has scared the shit out of republicans in Cali and they are pushing Hard to trick people into voting No by sending out a shitton of mailers seemingly sponsored by groups like 'Vote no on 50' who claim to be pro-democracy but are being funded almost single-handedly by a republican billionare (charles munger jr) whose dropped over 30 mil personally to decry this.

All that to say your vote DOES matter this November and please please make sure you are researching Whatever propositions are on your local ballot to see who actually supports them!!

[humming-fly]

REMINDER THAT SPECIAL ELECTIONS ARE THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW! (NOVEMBER 4TH)

Make a plan to vote and get to it!

ELECTION IS TODAY GO VOTE!!
