Poob has it for you

i'm going to become the joker

Okay

Yeah thatโ€™s

Yeah

Even worse, it was apparently an antitrust lawsuit. Disney responded to a lawsuit accusing it of trying to become a monopoly by... buying the company suing it and increasing its monopoly even further

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isnโ€™t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

Sometimes little pleasures in life are loadbearing. Whenever someone is like "If you'd just give up tea and coffee and sugar and--" im like I'll stop you right there. Because if you finish that sentence i am going to kill everyone in this building and then myself. If i have to face the horrors of the world without my little jar of caramel flavoured instant coffee i am going to go full American Psycho. Believe it or not, my main priority in life is not to have perfect teeth or be an Olympic athlete or look like a supermodel, but to actually enjoy living, because I spent far too long not doing that and it royally sucked. And boy, some people don't like hearing that. Particularly dentists

Modern Star Trek needs to stop being so concerned with looking cool and return to its roots of being about horny nerds doing diplomacy in pajamas.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

Heโ€™s not filibustering. Heโ€™s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didnโ€™t pay attention in government class, in the US senate thereโ€™s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they donโ€™t want a bill to pass they just. Donโ€™t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isnโ€™t doing that. Heโ€™s disrupting โ€œthe normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically ableโ€. Just in protest. This doesnโ€™t usually happen.

Heโ€™s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmondโ€™s record for longest speech on the senate floor and heโ€™s still going

For those of you wondering what heโ€™s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. Heโ€™s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for โ€œquestionsโ€ but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that heโ€™s been missing while heโ€™s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like theyโ€™re going to bug out of his skull so I donโ€™t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

โ€œAuthors should not be ALLOWED to write aboutโ€“โ€ you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

โ€œThis book should be taken off of shelves for featuringโ€“โ€ you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

โ€œSchools shouldnโ€™t teach this book in class becauseโ€“โ€ you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

โ€œNobody actually likes or wants to read classics because theyโ€™reโ€“โ€ you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot

โ€œI only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and featuresโ€“โ€ you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

"you are functionally a conservative" is such a good and clarifying insult

Literally right after I saw this post, I saw another post in a discord chat for BOOK EDITORS in which an outspokenly liberal editor talked about how Nabokov should have never been published because he wrote about p*dophiles and described women's bodies in ways that made her uncomfortable. She described his writing as "objectively terrible" and said she wanted to burn his books. And other editors were bringing up classics they didn't like and talking about how they wanted to throw them in the trash. This wasn't like a light "unpopular opinion!" conversation. This was actual book editors talking about how books should be destroyed and censored.

There is something so scary and toxic in global culture right now. The revival of fascism is influencing everyone's mindset and approach to art, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.

I see far more books being censored today than when I was a kid. Librarians handed me The Catcher in the Rye, The Sexual Politics of Meat, and Animal Farm when I was literally 8-11. My mom would never have taken a book away from me. I read everything from the Tao Te Ching to the Qur'an to atheist texts under my desk at school. Teachers thought nothing of it or encouraged it. Books seemed universally acknowledged as sacrosanct to me.

Now I can't find any adults who don't hesitate or want to make exceptions when it comes to censorship. Even the most liberal social activist librarians I know go, "well except for book X..."

Functionally conservative. It's so important to have the language to express that.

Thank you for this addition!

working in landlord/tenant law, the one thing that has genuinely surprised me is how many landlords straight up do not follow housing regulations in a variety of ways (I've seen people charging first and last month's rent which is illegal where I am, not posting required notices, not registering the unit, etc.) and all of these things are affirmative defenses if they ever try to evict you for any reason. but how would the average person know that.

anyway I very strongly urge you to look into the basics of housing regulations in your city and state (many times cities have more strict laws than the state, for instance LA where I live has quite a few explicitly pro-tenant ordinances that are not applicable to the rest of CA) just to inform yourself and to be aware of this stuff. if you need help lmk
