Former Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, who was blacklisted from the league for standing up for marriage equality, speaks at a city council meeting where he calls Trump a Nazi. He is subsequently arrested and carried out by police.

I just want to clarify a few things, because I have a feeling some people may share this without watching the video in full and/or getting further details from related news articles:

(this is a good thing, if that's not clear; I feel like too many people have forgotten about the tactical use of arrests by activists, especially during the Civil Rights era, to highlight injustice or disrupt a media narrative)

Anyway, kudos to Mr Kluwe for this, I hope more public figures will follow suit.

hey does anyone wanna do the funniest thing ever

probably not a great sign for capitalist hegemony when even the facebook crowd can't take this seriously

I dunno man all I'm saying is that the right wing doesn't need nearly enough convincing just to vote as the left does

Republicans just say "Biden is destroying America, we have to stop him" and the right wing says "okie dokie" and shows up to fucking vote for every republican on the ballot

Meanwhile the rest of us are out here giving civics lessons on how congress works and why Biden can't just Do A Thing, separation of powers, write laundry lists of all the good things Biden and Democrats have done, remind people of all the shit trump pulled, actual tables comparing Biden and trump policies, on and on,

and the left is just like "😡 both parties are the same" or "but Biden didn't do enough / did this thing I didn't like!" and stay home

And it's like

This is literally why america has such right wing policies, because you don't fucking show up every election

The center and the left showed up in the UK and France and unified and got out of each other's ways because they knew they had to defeat the right and they voted

Holy fucking shit why do we have to go through this every election to tell you just to show up and fucking vote you shouldn't need this much convincing to just vote

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

Don't forget to leave oatmeal out on the roof for Buzz tonight!

This pun is hilarious, but Victor Frankenstein would absolutely not fucking say that.

To clarify: My problem isn't Frankenstein speaking with modern slang. My problem is Frankenstein being okay with somebody drinking his monster.

The thing neurotypicals tend not to understand about the ADHD brain is that it really only has two gears

I turn to the chalkboard and carefully write out

WORKIN' HARD

HARDLY WORKIN'

Much like a cars transmission getting stuck between gears the adhd brain can also access a secret mode called HORKLY WARDIN' that feels bad

imagine you're just Some Guy in the project hail mary universe. like damn the sun is dying. oh hey they're trying to find a way to stop it! why tf are they paving the sahara desert. explosions??? they're reuniting a team to figure out wtf is going on! oh shit two of the members died?!? THEY'RE SENDING THE BOYTOY INTO SPACE!?!? how many misinformation about astrophages did ppl genuinely believe?? were there memes abt it ( who am i kidding there were definitely memes abt it)??? how many astrophage-deniers were there? so many questions

I didn't know I wanted to read the astrophage memes until now.

CRY LATER. MISSION NOW.

the thing about project hail mary is that it says things like at the start of our existence we watched each other sleep to protect ourselves from our biology and now it is just a part of our lives but all my crewmates are dead so i shall watch you sleep to keep you safe please watch me sleep too and then it says things like an alien wants to see our technology so i am cleaning my spacecraft up whilst he prepares the airlock because i am painfully human and we clean up for company and it just expects me to go on living my life normally like that isn't emotionally compromising

When I have to do something challenging, I use what I like to call the Watney Method. Step 1: figure out what needs to be done. Step 2: figure out what you need to do to accomplish that. Step 3: do that. If that’s too hard, I use the Grace Method, which is exactly the same as the Watney Method with the small addition of crying throughout the entire process.

does anyone have that one painting with the ghosts standing in the water?

like theyre in the water and they’re staring off to the side and there’s something so very wrong about it and they’re bending over and trailing along like deer in the headlights but you can’t see what they’re staring at which might make it even scarier

like this

I FUCKING FOUND IT.

beach day beach day

by the way, the artist is olivia steen (website linked above) and apparently, her other works are just as breathtakingly eerie

look at this!!! it’s cool as hell!!

I thought the last one was very familiar to me and turns out it’s painted over a photo of john lennon !

and after looking at the first one again it is also, a beatle photo

Not going to lie the first picture like the ghost on the water It kinda is referenced on the one picture where the Beatles are in Miami for the Help! shooting I dont have the picture but it really looks like! Especially the bending ghost resembles Ringo and The other Picture where the ghost is sitting down I also remember so much remember that that picture is Brian Epstein sitting I also don’t have the picture cause I cant fine IT aaaaa HAHAH

Now THIS is some fucking forbidden fandom lore lmao

ETA THIS IS THE ONE!!!!

a little obsessed with the story of how giacomo casanova was sharing a gondola with this random guy who suddenly started having a seizure, and casanova had some medical training so he stabilized the guy until the guy’s physician could be called. and then the physician bled the guy and put mercury ointment on him, which caused everything to get worse to the point that a priest was called to administer the guy’s last rites, but then casanova stepped in and washed off the mercury ointment despite the doctor yelling at him not to. and the guy recovered and turned out to be super rich and powerful and in gratitude bankrolled casanova’s debauchery for years until casanova got himself sentenced to five years in jail for blasphemy. also at one point he got shot through the hand in a duel and doctors wanted to amputate it but he said no it’ll be fine and it Was

so what i’m saying is a medical procedural show where the main character is giacomo casanova and he doesn’t want to be solving these medical mysteries but goddamn if he isn’t the only fucker in this room who knows how to not kill the patient. so i guess my date with this prussian chick will just have to wait

this pitch would have absolutely killed at the bbc between 1991 and 2005 btw
