Strange things are going on in the Invicinble 2. Electronics are acting up. Eerie sightings are happening on the ship. No one knows why this is going on. They try to act like it’s nothing serious.But it’s having a strange toll on the captain…
Look, I know Tumblr is the website of chronically online introverts, but this is also the only website where I have any reach. And I live in America so this is relevant to me. So I’ll go ahead and put this here.
Every year there’s hundreds of positions that go completely unchallenged. Some of them for areas that you, the general American Tumblrite, probably care about.
I’m being so, so, so completely serious right now.
Run for something, and if you promise to never ban a book, the linked website and@fated-mates can get you in touch with volunteers for phone banking (aka letting voters know you exist, what you stand for, and convincing people to vote for you). Depending on your situation, they’ll fund you, too.
Women especially need to hear the message 7 times, according to some studies, to be convinced that yes, this is something they can do.
You can run for something! Run for something small. School boards. Municipal government. Run for something as a side hustle. Run for something because you’re an empty nester and your book club stinks. Run for something so you can personally push things leftward, even if it’s just one foot, that’s one foot further towards your leftist goals no matter what they might be.
Run for school board because look at the fucking idiots currently running it. You know you’re smarter than them. Fucking, if you’ve ever completed a school project you’re probably smarter than them.
Run for something because Elon Musk is pissing you off. Run for something because you’re trying to fight off despair. Run for something because you hate the idea that you can’t do anything. You can do something! You can run for something.

Look at me. Look me in the eyes. Two neighborhood people who were involved in being community support for my union decided to run for library board and not only did they both win, they beat out my least favorite board member who is now no longer my problem. These two new pro-union board members will now be on the board the next time we have to negotiate a contract. This makes my life, personally, demonstrably better and easier. Just because two people decided library board was something they cared about.
I’m not saying running for something is easy and being an elected official involves a good bit of work and responsibility, but damn it can really be worth it. I ran for my local library board and I can see the tangible results in my community based on decisions I have made there. Take that nihilism and helplessness!
Luigi Mangione could be getting the death penalty…
This man is innocent, his appearance and build doesn’t match that of the killers, the only “motive” he had was a convenient written confession showing that he supposedly viewed healthcare companies as “parasitic” and too expensive (which does somewhat contradict the actual killers actions) he had said note and the murder weapon conveniently on him while living his ordinary life, the killer held the gun in his right hand while Luigi is left-handed, Luigi and the Killer were potentially seen simultaneously, they wore slightly different coats.
The NYPD KNOW these are different people, they know the evidence is lacking, this isn’t a mistaken identity, it’s framing, they are trying to make themself appear to still be control by catching this man, humiliating him, killing him, when they know full well that the person they are prosecuting ISNT EVEN THE RIGHT GUY! This is an injustice! This is not a fair trial! This is downright tyranny!
They confiscated his bag at the mcdonald’s, took it out of everyone’s sight, unpacked it and repacked it, and THEN took it down to the station and wow there was a manifesto in there that he was just carrying around in daily life for some reason
Definitely the sort of thing that the Bag Of Monopoly Money Guy would be carrying to McDonald’s
hey americans there is a recall on testosterone gel because they found benzene in it! please check the lot numbers on your batches, benzene is really not something you want to be rubbing into your skin, also you might be eligible for compensation because this is just insane what the fuck
not only testosterone gel has been recalled - if you click on the link above, you’ll see that there are a lot of other medications affected, ranging from ibuprofen to thyroid medication to psych meds and a whole bunch in between. i’d say usamericans who use ANY medication should check this list just to be safe
Alright, everyone in the comments is like “it was closed because of pirating and don’t you dare list alternatives because loose lips sink ships”
This is completly false. Rabbit shut down because they had no business model, were making no money whatsoever, and went bankrupt. What Rabbit did (host and stream remote-control virtual machines) is not inherently illegal by any means.
Hyperbeam is the exact same thing and I’ve been using it for years for perfectly legal activities – you can display maps for d&d games, have youtube watch parties, play tag-team neopets, whatever you like. It has full access to the internet, so could someone do illegal things? Probably. But you could also do illegal things with your normal web browser. Not my problem.
Unlike Rabbit, Hyperbeam has a side-hustle (main-hustle?) offering more advanced virtual machines to businesses and schools, so they do actually make money and should stick around longer.
Now go experience the world wide web with your friends.
