Dude I do not have words for how pissed I am with MSNBC right now

[sighinastorm]

How come?

[box-in-a-cage]

In short, I'm upset by how "Joe Biden should resign because of a bad debate performance and we should pick some less-well-known person to run in his stead" is something we're even giving the time of day. I feel like it's just so ridiculous and self-defeating.

I also just finished writing out my feelings a little less shortly over here: (link)

Alternatively here is the text of that post so you can see without clicking a link:

I used to really like watching MSNBC about a year ago. Their imbalanced and often straight false coverage of Israel since last October turned me away. Someone I live with still uses MSNBC as her main source of news. It's seriously just fucking nonsense. I walk through the living room and I hear some of the shittiest, most information-vacant takes I've ever heard on TV. They won't shut the fuck up about Biden resigning and replacing him with someone younger. I can't imagine what kind of damage that being the mainstream moderate-left news' position is going to do to voters come November. What the fuck are they doing?

[sighinastorm]

Huh, okay. Thanks for your perspective. I'm looking at MSNBC and seeing what seems like an unusual degree of DNC-approved "this is our horse and we're riding him" messaging.

[box-in-a-cage]

Hey I'm revisiting this the next day and I wanna say thanks for providing a perspective outside my own. You've reminded me that the bits n pieces I hear of MSNBC throughout the day are not the whole of their reporting and I'm gonna try to keep from getting pessimistic and black-and-white-thinking about it :)

Stu, let me ask you a question: how did you not realize until then that you had too many eggs? Nobody sells eggs in a big cloth-covered basket, so you must have done that yourself. That means you spent god-knows-how-long opening up twelve whole cartons of eggs, carefully placing each egg one-by-one inside a big basket, and then covering it with a big picnic cloth… and at no point- at no point- did you ever stop and think “gee, there might be TOO MANY FUCKING EGGS HERE”

You really have lost control of your life.

Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology

by Ellen Ullman

[bemusedlybespectacled]

a while back I made a post along the lines of "every STEM major should have a required 'history of science' course that's just all about previously wrong and bad scientific theories like sperm all containing homunculi and spontaneous generation" and I got a lot of responses like "but STEM majors already have gen ed requirements!" and would not understand why I was specifically asking for a course that would teach people about why science is not infallible and does not exist in a vacuum and THIS IS EXACTLY WHY ACTUALLY

The last few krakens and giant squids I saw in any media had entirely soft suckers like an octopus so now I'm wondering something. Giant squid generally have "tooth lined" suckers, and the colossal squid's two longer tentacles have suckers that evolved into full blown claws all over them.

Did you know squid limbs were covered in fangs and blades before this post

yeah of course who didn't

I knew there was something or other like that

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NO)

COOL ocean facts!! Humboldt squid (up two two meters in length) are known to attack people who are diving among them at night! In one of the two most thoroughly documented cases a nature photographer Alex Kerstitch was attacked by multiple humboldts at once who started rapidly pulling him downward, dragging him almost 30 meters deeper into the ocean in just minutes! They were able to tear off some of his equipment but thankfully not his mask, which would have definitely killed him, and they left him covered in bloody cuts!

An even nastier case was ONE OF the times they ganged up on Scott Cassell, a former sniper assassin and underwater combat specialist who now apparently hunts down wildlife poachers (holy shit???), aside from being a sea warrior he is like a lead expert on specifically these squid but his underwater powers and love for them did not stop them from dragging him down so hard they dislocated his shoulder and the pressure change ruptured his eardrum!

This is his own webpage about squids repeatedly beating the ever loving shit out of him and how they will do it to you, too:

Something else I'm not sure if people know or not, unless of course you've ever eaten them, is that cephalopod tentacles are pure solid muscle tissue. When they're outstretched they're more noodly of course but squids can contract them like short fingers as you might have noticed!

Think about how dense and tough that must be! A bunch of them all clenched together in one tight cone! Scott says they will ram into you with this at full speed

......."A large squid moved to within two feet and flashed again. Mesmerized by the strobe effect, I didn’t see that another squid was rushing in from my left. Bam! It hit me with a tentacular strike that felt like being hit with a baseball bat square in the ribs. Shocked by the power of the strike and unable to breathe because of a cramp in my chest, I turned to see what had hit me and saw four more squid headed toward me"

Anyway I wish squid weren't just in the ocean but could fly, I think that would be exciting!

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

[upward-bound]

nearly 80k reblogs and how many of you eat lamb

[zooophagous]

The ancient shepherds I'm referencing also ate lamb lol

[youfoundawizard]

“The ancient shepherds in referencing also ate lamb”

“The love of god for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep”

Son of a bitch, God is going to eat us!

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

[july-19th-club]

also i love that the phrase "piss on the poor" is functionally an effective shorthand on here for "someone has a lack of reading comprehension". wonder how long it will be before the knowledge that it is an intentional misapprehension of the phrase "piss poor" disappears and we get a Reader who says. the phrase piss on the poor is so cruel we should say something else

I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are

I feel like we're almost in an era of like, reverse queerbaiting. Used to be that you'd be tricked into watching a show because the story implied there'd be gay rep, but now they're using gay rep to trick you into thinking there'll be a story.

this is the best term for this actually I'm gonna start using this irl
