okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

only a mom would call up her kid and correct them on their own name

This is funnier than learning that Kit Harrington didn't know that his full name was Christopher

Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.

This has worked before:

When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!

It has happened before, it can happen again.

If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.

Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.

Remember the consumer is always right.

That's five Republican cosponsors of the Senate bill to make all Presidential tariffs illegal if not ratified by Congress within 60 days. One of which is Mitch fucking McConnell. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

Don't get too excited yet; to get a veto proof majority you need two thirds of the Senate, which means you need 67 total votes for the bill. We have 47 Dems, so we would need fifteen more GOP senators to cross lines.

However. If you have a Republican senator, get the fuck on those phone lines now. Emphasize the economic disaster on the horizon. You tell them that these shitwits are going to tank your jobs, your businesses, your homes and your communities. You tell them that their names are on this economic disaster. Hound them like coonhounds baying down the trail after frightened game, and tell them how hungry you are for their misfortune already; imagine how hungry you will be when your families can't afford to eat.

These fuckers blink when we get angry. We got the NOAA back yesterday, at least temporarily. RFK is claiming he is trying to rehire a bunch of our fired federal workers in HHS which was "always the plan" despite internal confirmation that there is no such plan. These thieving rats in the grain house are frightened of us already and they flinch when we howl!

They are probably lying about their plans, but they are at least frightened enough to lie. Our job is to harass them in every moment of their lives until they panic and break. Make these Russian traitors afraid again.

If you can, come to the Hands Off! protests today. There are virtual options and options for every state and many many many cities. That's an unfakable, incontrovertible statement of unified anger, and the sheer weight of numbers frightens politicians. Showing up will help provide leverage. It will also be great practice if we need to run a general strike for more leverage.

Let's get to work!

They're also working on a new guideline for trans HRT for adults which is expected to be released this September.

The reason for that being that they noticed an increase in trans people wanting to get HRT, so they founded an interdisciplinary working group to figure out how to provide the best care.

This was top tier comedy in middle school let me tell you

this is still top tier comedy today

It’s so crazy that Luke Skywalker thought his dad was just some freighter pilot and yet also claimed to be a podracing fan how did he not think to look at the records and see his dad was the only human to ever win the Boonta Eve Classic the legend who defeated the great Sebulba #FakeFan

Luke: Hey this pod racer who was the only human to win the Boonta Eve Classic has the same last name as me.

Uncle Owen: he's your third cousin stop asking questions don't look into what he did after that

First Felon did this to US farmers with no real game plan, no understanding of tariffs, and the predictable retaliatory tariffs.

First Felon is so used to treating his degenerate kids and flunky wives like shit, he thought he could just abuse the world and get no pushback.

ough i started thinking about the inherent tragedy of a spare heir

what if you and your sister had the same tutors, same arms instructor, same conversations with your mother regarding politics and strategies and the million terrible choices a ruler must make. but all of them, from your nursery governess to your fencing coach to your mother herself, knew that she was real and you-- weren't. not yet. only if the unthinkable happened. what if you were a walking reminder that she wasn't invincible. what if you were tragedy's page, carrying its train, walking soft in the shadow of all of their hopes that you would never be needed.

Don’t….. fuckin power wash your roof. Don’t let anyone power wash your roof.

Friend, from the tone of your words, I feel like you’ve just learnt a hard lesson here…

Fortunately no, it was an easy lesson I learned when I was seven when my dad was power washing the driveway and I asked if he was going to power wash the roof next and he explained to me that it would damage the roof because it was meant to handle rain and snow, which is never going to be as hard as a power washer.

Lots of people are learning this the hard way this year though. It’s a new scam. Someone knocks on your door and offers to wash your roof for two hundred bucks. “Damn, that’s a pretty good price,” you think, knowing that roofs require a huge chunk of change. The guy power washes the roof and leaves. It was a cash transaction, and he didn’t leave contact information, so when your roof starts leaking during the first rain, you have no one to contact to sue for damages and you’re stuck on the hook for replacing the roof yourself, which you either do yourself (cost of materials and many hours of your time) or you hire someone to do for you (which runs into the tens of thousands of dollars, an amount people normally can’t just drop).

Lots of new homeowners don’t know this stuff, and it would definitely behoove them to research it, but until they have the time to do that, I’m here to say: Don’t power wash your roof.

the tragedy of buffy to me in early seasons is that she’s convinced she’s not a normal girl dealing with normal girl things even though everything that happens to her is an extremely cogent metaphor for normal girl things, such as when you’re filled with thoughts of violence, or when your boyfriend starts acting like a different person after you have sex with him, or your mom grounds you for being irresponsible even though you ARE responsible it’s just that nobody understands what you’re going through, or when the entire world conspires to convince you that your sexual desires are inherently evil and you will be punished for having them. many of these things are normal girl experiences under the patriarchy but buffy doesn’t know that bc she’s in the literalization torture labyrinth

this is a confession to the star wars fandom because I have to get this off my chest. last summer just for fun I taught myself to read aurebesh and. you fanartists have Got to Continue putting the most Hilarious stuff into the background of your art because it is literally my favorite thing

here’s a couple of excellent things I’ve read since I started keeping a list just last month:

- “I hate drawing lightsabers”

- “Idk what to put here”

- “stupid fucking sign”

- “eat paste, it’s good”

- an entire news article on a phone screen which I actually found really impressive

- a few funny misspellings but the best one so far was ahsoka somehow becoming “asock”

- wanted poster of obi wan that read “wanted for fashion crimes”. the caption translated it as “wanted for high treason”. like blatantly lying to my face. love it.

- door on a ship was labeled “cake storage”

- “shopping list: frogs, hair gel, lightsaber polish”

and my personal favorite:

- “if you’re reading this you’re a fucking nerd”

Vejible fiend asks for his 7th vejible in a row

4 chapters of Deltarune being announced for 25$ for the current game and all subsequent chapters being free vs. Nintendo begging you to pay 90 dollars for Mario Kart not counting the inevitable DLC.

Here, have some Danny doodles ♡

Game announcements aside.

Utterly insane prices. Needing to buy a new (and more expensive!) SD card because the old one is not compatible. Paywalling the ability to have your games upgraded for the Switch 2, on a per-game basis. Having to pay extra for physical games, with some physical games NOT EVEN BEING ON THE CART (with the game being used as a license check, and then needing to be downloaded)...

And on top of all of that, all UI is the exact fucking same, still no eShop music, and complete silence on themes.

Nintendo more or less ported an entire fucking console. I hate to be negative but what a letdown.
