“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat
comedians can only dream of writing something this funny
People see schizophrenic people without homes on the street but don't witness the slow descent into insanity that brought them there. People see us yelling at vehicles but don't see us in our grandparents truck as a young child with a wide innocent smirk as the wind blows our hair. People see us sleeping over dirty cardboard but don't see us sleeping under lit Christmas trees with our favourite present in our grasp. People see us saying odd things and acting strangely but they don't see us shrieking and jumping into a lake before warming up beside a comforting fire. People don't see our first tooth we pull, the pencil marks we made on doorframes to document our growth, our first self-made tree-house so small that we could barely fit in it, our first colourful drawing, first friend, first anything. They overlook it all and if it's not ignorant it's grotesque. People aren't there for our middle-school or high school graduation. They haven't had hours of engaging conversations with us while rain plummets outside. Most aren't there for anything but snippets of a complex life. They see a person in dire need of help and ignore. There's no thought placed into who we can be, who we were, and hell… even who we are.
I don't believe in christian babies. I believe in babies, i believe in christians, but a baby doesn't have the agency and cognitive abilities required to chose and/or live a faith. There's babies of christian parents, of course, as well as babies that have been introduced into the system that is the christian church, but that does not make them christian yet.
Long story short, i did not hit a christian baby into the stratosphere, officer.
Hey so FYI, black fans shouldn’t have to hide/shy away from their fandoms. They shouldn’t have to feel ashamed to be black in fandom spaces. They shouldn’t have racist remarks / people downplaying racism thrown at them everywhere they go in a fandom. There should be more hype for black-ran indie shows and creations.
If you disagree, then maybe you should look into yourself and fix that.
uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.
it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually
it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity
this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need
adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups
i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:
open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable
no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever
not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof
cheers
Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such
KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.
LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.
it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.

Lots of drama in our household
Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead.
Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.
BESHEAR SHOULD SHOW UP AT THE HOSPITAL AND DEMAND TO SEE HIM - OR HIS BODY!!!
Schrödinger’s turtle
He’s a public servant, the public have a right to know his condition.
when Beshear won the election, before he took office Kentucky changed the law so he could not appoint a replacement. Beshear should do it just to push the issue. The GOP would have to prove McConnell is alive or dead. And then they would have to act accordingly sooner rather than later.
The journalist that reported this better go into hiding so fast before they disappear her....
Casting popular celebrities as voice actors for animation isn’t a new thing btw people in the 21st century just don’t know the popular actors of the early 1900s and can’t recognise when old cartoon characters are being voiced by the Chris Pratts of their day. I do mean this in a fairly neutral way, but we do have to stop always romanticising every aspect of the past all the damn time as if professional voice actors haven’t always been screwed over by large animation companies. It’s obviously worse now because we’re well into late stage capitalism and things like AI are becoming such a huge threat, but it’s not like… new. Nothing’s ever new, we just keep gaining new generations who have to put in the effort of learning from the past, and most people just don’t do that. So conversations that have already happened have to start all over again.
It's a phenomenon in all art forms for all of history! I recently went to an art museum that had this crazy cool, dramatic, dynamically lit painting depicting the Muse of Tragedy flanked by the personifications of Pity and Terror. It's a very story-based painting, meant to entertain and keep you looking at it for a long time through light cues and hidden details.
But guess what! The model in the center is Sarah Siddons and she was like a super celebrity and people drew and painted her as allllllll kinds of dramatic characters. Some people thought it was tasteless, celebrity trash and uncouth entertainment. But hey! My favorite actor in a super cool painting! Put her in another and another and another. Hehe.
This is so interesting, I love history
You must shove all your cottagecore bullshit into the minecraft farmer's delight mod in order to not become an accidental fascist
this is my impression of what it would look like if the toddlers at my job could make traumacore edits about me
alright by popular demand here is more toddler traumacore
if i dont respond to a message from you i can basically guarantee its not because i dislike you. im just getting attacked by imps and shit all the time genuinely.
ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS TAGGING MY PRECIOUS POST WITH "HOMESTUCK" BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF AN IMP BEFORE?
