back in my day, we got fun little games and jokes for april fool's. the lizard president race. coppy. crabs. the horse. boops, god, remember boops? now all they do is fuck up the ui. this used to be a website.
People are like “these animals have exoskeletons and these ones have endoskeletons” but no. It’s all exoskeletons, your exoskeleton is protecting your bone marrow which is where your soul (which is you) is. The rest of the stuff is extraneous decoration that Big Pharma wants you to think is important/
Why do you think there’s so few ghosts around? Why are most ghosts people who died violently? You gotta crack the bones to let the soul out. Most souls are trapped alone in the dark and silent ground (or teaching hospitals) for hundreds or thousands of years until the bones eventually start to break. People who are cremated get their whole soul released and it can reincarnate. But if someone dies violently then maybe only a couple of their bones are cracked and a little scrap of the soul escapes but it’s incomplete and confused. Can’t figure out how to leave, gets obsessed with its own circumstances, repeats actions, CANNOT be reasoned with. PROOF that the soul is in the marrow.
See I know what I’m talking about.
Sin is stored in the teeth btw which is why young children are innocent (they’ll get a do-over with replacement teeth) and the elderly are shameless (once you have no teeth to remember your sins, you have nothing to fear).
Upon review I think that maybe vodka isn’t for me.

I think I find this post every April Fools Day and I am so happy that I do
The only good April Fool’s post.
anyway it’s cool and powerful that a man of colour is using his position as a senator to spend 24 hours straight criticising an administration that’s made it very clear that it will go to devastating and unconstitutional lengths to make everyone who isn’t a cishet white man sit down and shut up
HE BROKE THE RECORD
Senator Cory Booker just broke the all-time record for the longest Senate floor speech, speaking for over 24 hours without a pause (no food, no bathroom breaks, only water to drink) as a protest against Trump and Musk and what they're doing.
The previous record was set in 1957, when Strom Thurmond spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes protesting the Civil Rights Act.
Senator Booker has blown past that record, currently at 25 hours and still speaking as of 8 pm local time. Respect.
Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now
He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.
For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.
Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.
He’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 Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going
For those of you wondering what he’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. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” 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 he’s been missing while he’s been talking.
"male loneliness epidemic" is misleading because it implies that men are suffering because they can't get girls when I feel like the actual problem is that pretty much any online content that's aimed specifically at men conceptualizes the masculine ideal as what I call the Buff Scammer. there are only two things in this world that matter, says the Buff Scammer: being jacked and making money. how you get to either of those things doesn't matter, you just need to be as rich and as buff as possible or you have failed as a man. Get into drop shipping. Eat nothing but raw meat. Rugpull a memecoin. Remove seasonings from your diet. Sell an online course. Go to the gym daily. Starve yourself so your body will achieve ketosis and start burning fat. Attend a seminar on real estate investing. Work 80 hours a week. Take steroids but don't let anyone know about that part. Flip a YouTube channel after 10xing the subs. Sell AI art on Etsy and AI audiobooks on Amazon. What's that? You're trying to do this to get girls? Why would you care about women? Women are all stupid whores who don't help you get richer or buffer. The only people you should be paying attention to are other rich, buff men. If you do hang out with women you should be pimping them out on Chaturbate so you can at least get an ROI off your time spent not thinking about men. Male friends? You don't have time for friends. You should be hustling and grinding 24/7 365. And if you absolutely do need to spend time around to her men you should only be spending time with other buff scammers so you can collaborate on entrepreneurial ventures. Like Jesus Christ even writing this is exhausting I feel like trying to be this dude would be fucking miserable like not only did you turn yourself into a friendless, materialist, misogynistic asshole who can only conceptualize the world in terms of value extracted but you're NOT EVEN HAVING FUN DOING IT!!!!!!
wait wait wait mutuals rb this with a description of ur voice
I drew a marshmallow bunny
He parallel parked himself on the vent to toast his tummy
imagine a version of tua where the writers were more interested in allison.
- I imagine they didn't grow up with reginald instilling normal bigotries in them, allison was praised by him for being fast, cunning, strong, etc just as much as luther. allison was definitely one of the more favored children in that household. but still, she looks different from everyone else, and everyone knows that.
- the umbrella academy has their public debut. and suddenly there are millions of eyes on her.
- she tries to talk to luther about the discomfort she feels, and about the weird questions she gets asked, and about how articles always seem to judge her more and value her less, and luther's like "what are you talking about!! we're superheroes everyone loves us!! did you see the article you did for [insert teen magazine]?? they loved you!"
- and you know, she gets a bit older and wiser, and maybe diego and ben understand a little of what she's going through, but neither of them are black or a girl, and then ben's dead, and then diego leaves.
- and then allison leaves.
- imagine how much more complex of a conversation there could've been around racism and allison's rumoring if they wanted.
- imagine being a black woman pursuing a career in acting, but you're "not right" for the leads. you're never what they're looking for, you don't have the right energy, the right look, the right ~whatever.~ but unlike everyone else, allison has a superpower that allows her to get whatever she wants. she will be the lead. she will be a lawyer. she will get roles where she's smart and saves the day. she's not going to be the best friend. she's not going to be a side character.
- and then she goes to 1961 without her voice.
- and I'm not qualified to talk about how the writers handled it. allison's season 2 storyline very much gives "a group of well-intentioned white writers trying their best while being terrified to mess up." they did have one black woman, aeryn michelle williams, in the writer's room for season 2, but we all know steve blackman is a piece of shit white man, he's a complete dan schnieder type but without the weird child sexualization (mostly...), but basically the point is it's a story that had to be approved by white men.
- and then season 3 does it's best with allison but still barely talks about it.
- and season 4 really dropped the ball with allison, but that's sort of a general thing since it dropped the ball with everyone except luther.
