it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?

#she really did breast boobily down the stairs (via @boxingcleverrr)

It's hard to do that in clothing from that period - that's bad costuming.

No, that's historically inaccurate costuming. It is good costuming in that it is doing exactly what it is trying to achieve. It's just that what it's trying to achieve is BOOBS.

so dig this; in this movie (which is Clue, if you don't know) she's not actually a french maid, she's a call girl who is playing the role of a french maid, and in all likelihood provided her own uniform from either her "work" closet or that of the brothel where she was employed

there is a fine line between being yourself and being annoying and by god do I not know how to walk it

Bold of you to assume being ourselves and being annoying are mutually exclusive.

honestly you can convince parents that just about anything is necessary for their kids’ well-being except, like, respecting their boundaries/identities/basic human rights.

like, people will spend hundreds of dollars on classical music brain training kits for literal newborn infants because someone on good morning america said it might make them 0.3% smarter but god forbid you tell them to stop reading their kids’ fuckin diaries or use their correct pronouns.

The music CDs are for the parents, so they can feel like their children's intelligence is a gift they gave, but not reading diaries or using correct names doesn't benefit the parent at all. Reading diaries enables them to more closely project into the child, and asking them to use a different pronoun is like asking them to rename the RPG character they've spent years playing. Neither of these things are about the child, simply the way adults frequently over project themselves onto their kids and refuse to see them as people, not avatars.

not a whole lot of bouncy balls with stars on them in the toy stores anymore

wtf are you on about man

stay in your lane pal

Where did you find a toy store?

“If only I had a group of colors from which all other colors can be obtained from mixing”

The humble primary colors:

I think I did it wrong, guys. All I get is red.

Scientists shouldn't have to pretend they're bringing back the dire wolf. Geneticists should be able to say "I want to make wolves larger for no reason", and we should have the resources to say "that sounds cool as hell. Here's a billion dollars"

More science needs to be funded for being fucking cool as hell. I demand giant wolves, dino chickens, resurrected mammoths, the lot.

every single bad thing that happens to humans is reparations for what we did to pigeons

The domesticating and abandoning them, the global extinction event, or when the government turned them all in to robots?

admonishing teacher: and would you still behave this way if the earth cracked open to reveal an unyielding tract of slavering organs ?

naughty child: i would unveil my terrible opus
