also "all billionaires are like this" I am fully aware that Bill Gates is infamously a creepy and unpleasant individual but he also has spent most of the last couple of decades earnestly trying to get rid of malaria. having that amount of money is a huge structural failure and, again, he is infamously a terrible guy to be around, but it didn't turn him into a neonazi. this is not a 1:1 correlation. we really have to accept this when considering how best to dismantle billionaire influence from society. there are actually quite important differences between elon and, like, warren buffett

yes, a lot of rich people are really weird and out of touch and either ignorant of or hyperaware of their power in a way that makes them evil, but if that was not also the case for non-rich people, kamala would have won indiana

#didn’t he also try to capitalize off of privatizing the distribution of the Covid vaccine?#I admit he’s better because he’s trying to like get rid of his money as he gets older#but that’s a whole lot of capital to control

Sweetheart this is a literal right-wing conspiracy theory that you are repeating. He said in a press conference that a $10 billion investment in vaccines gives a general return on investment in economic and social benefits of about $200 billion, or 1-20. This does not mean "Bill Gates personally makes 20x his initial investment in vaccine distribution markets," it means "the global economic benefits of providing free vaccines outweigh the costs, which is why he encourages vaccine distribution"

If your principled anticapitalism is repeating r/insanepeoplefacebook talking points, it is not a good strand of principled anticapitalism!

#good lord so much of this website is cooked in qanon shit#bill gates is like up there in the conspiracist pantheon along with soros hillary clinton hunter biden and tom hanks#in terms of people they are Unwell about and make up random shit regarding#take anything you read from random panicky blogs online about any of these people with massive grains of salt

Tumblr Tuesday: Nineteen Years of Neil

Two days ago, that momentous time in April blessed us once more: the anniversary of Neil banging out his tunes. It's been 19 years, and Neil still brings us joy each year in April, famously the cruelest of months. In celebration of this fact, some art was created. Please enjoy these depictions of a happy little rattie making some music on a toy piano.

(Lest we forget, April 13 also marked the 16th anniversary of Homestuck. Happy Homestuckness to those who celebrate; we've added a few small treats for you <3)

Beaver munching

Not a single note for beaver munching? Who are you people? What priorities could you possibly have?

Okay wait I remember the website I'm on.

Audio description: beaver munching noises. Various grunts and groans. An off camera woman says "he's picking out the good stuff. There's the good stuff. The little hands are amazing. I wonder if he can eat this. You want it?" laughter.

Person off screen: what are five things you would never do after working as a lawyer?

Man on camera: well the first thing I would never do after working as a lawyer is call the police. I think people need to be very careful, when they consider of the issue of whether or not to invite the police into their world, their life, or into their home.

The second thing I'd never do after being a lawyer is to talk to the police.

Number three, I would never allow the police into my home without a warrant. But to invite the police into your home, is to grant them permission to make observations to what's inside. And who knows? You may have left your bong out.

Number four, I would never consent to a search of my vehicle, my home or my property. If police want to search my person or my home: get a warrant.

And the fifth thing I'd do: never submit to an interview without an attorney present. They tell you "you have the right to remain silent" and they also tell you "you have the right to have a lawyer present" before you ever speak to them.

I won't be talking to the police.

thought I was muted and just had this exchange with a coworker on a zoom call

playing some stupid games rn. i bet my prizes are going to fuck

Having a boyfriend is literally free

I’m stuck in my room because i have a fresh arm tattoo that’s not exactly fun to drive with and my little sister and her friends are hanging out in the kitchen so instead of doomscrolling or agonizing over creative projects i’m sending him pictures of various car parts and asking him to name them

wheeel……

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:
