If it wasn’t for that piano music Kingdom Hearts would be a comedy.
Yoko Shimomura is literally braver than any marine
When Nomura hands her the script for KH4 and she’s gotta figure out how to make Mickey dying in Noctis’ arms look anything but ridiculous with only her piano
things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:
things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:
like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.
Men look dumb as fuck wearing a football jersey looking like a walking ad bitch why tf are you repping Quatar Airways. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A fucking womb transplant, what an incredible thing. Fair play to all involved. A positive news story amidst all the dire shite.
The White House bragging about how many different countries have reached out to negotiate in response to the tariffs reminds me of that part of Disco Elysium where you have the option to put a loaded gun in your mouth and threaten to pull the trigger as a negotiating tactic. It is certainly one way to start a conversation!
👩⚕️ink alcohol and smoke weed if you want to know all the muscles inside your head. wait who's that bitch...
"lolcow" is ultimately a colloquial term describing a phenomena that actually precedes the internet (and well, most of history too) but I can't think of another shorthand with implications that are tacitly understood the same way when gesturing to the spectacle that the world makes around acceptable targets. you go on reddit and someone has crossposted a Courtroom Freakout video like that's some shit anyone should want to derive entertainment from. your mom's cohort watches Dumb Criminal Fail youtube compilations and nod their heads as the perpetrator of a failed robbery bleeds out on floor of a kfc like that's some shit anyone should want to see. your peers are heavily invested in the Worthless E-Drama Industrial Complex, where thousands of people are made collateral of all kinds of violence in the name of forwarding the narrative of the spectacle. and you can't ask any of these people why any of this behavior is normal to them unless you want to be accused of condoning immoral tendencies, compulsion to punish The Other already metastasized in their minds. it sucks how easy it is to kill your own interest in this shit but not anyone else's.
the beast below is a very silly episode of television. in real life if a whale was constantly being tortured to power the UK then people wouldnt have to erase their memories every 5 years to cope. in fact one of the election buttons would be "torture the whale even more" and 40% of the british voting public would show up to press it without fail and if someone came along and explained that you dont need to torture the whale for it to help they'd still keep pressing the torture the whale button "just to piss off the lefties"
theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
common examples of normalize loving parents posting:
saluting our bravest warriors who aren't afraid to stand up and advocate for the status quo
entire thing is awful but this part is really chilling
been seeing a lot of nuremberg defense over the past year gonna be seeing a lot more of it in the years to come i'm afraid
