HEY! Go read Murderbot!
whenever i find a good world heritage post i do my best to carefully remove unnecessary "why is this so funny!!" or "i cant believe i found the original" reblog comments. sometimes it takes a bit of work digging back through the reblog graph to accomplish this but fine art restoration is tedious but important work
you get it
I feel like we're almost in an era of like, reverse queerbaiting. Used to be that you'd be tricked into watching a show because the story implied there'd be gay rep, but now they're using gay rep to trick you into thinking there'll be a story.
this is the best term for this actually I'm gonna start using this irl
Still can't believe the entire campaign relied on people not googling "Tariff" and spending like a minute to read the definiton. "I'm going to introduce tariffs" as a campaign promise is LITERALLY saying "I'm going make the price of things even higher than they already are, for you (usamerican)"
He literally won by telling people to their faces that he's going to make inflation worse. Joke country.
My brother in law recently became a veterinarian and it has really driven the point home as to how fucking bonkers veterinary medicine is. We don't expect human physicians to really know much outside of their own specialty - a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon are three totally different dudes. Meanwhile a veterinarian at a wildlife rehab center is doing orthopedic surgery on a hawk and then doing rounds on baby hedgehogs in the hedgehog NICU and administering antibiotics to a ratsnake. And he also knows how to perform surgical interventions on a cow! What the fuck! Those are all totally, wildly different kinds of animal!!
Shout out to veterinarians, they know Too Much.
I always think about that one post that was like "how come the surviving doctors in zombie apocalypse stories are always veterinarians" and the reply "because veterinarians make 'not getting bitten by their patients' a core skill"
it wasn't actually as funny in my brain as I felt like it was so it had to become funnier through art
Sorry but I'm never going to get over Kevin chewing out the Ravens, revealing that Wymack is his dad, and dropping the "I've never been skiing" bomb on live television in the same interview, and then going "we're all going to die" while hunched over a sink the second he walked off stage. Absolutely hilarious.
Listening to neolib white girls complain about Appalachia in this class for the past two hours is testing me. Rich white women's greatest bastion of creativity is finding socially acceptable ways to villify and condescend to impoverished people
"Yes, I view the most poverty-stricken areas of the United States with the highest proportion of black people per capita as hives of social degeneracy and unironically think we as a society would benefit from wiping them off the face of the earth. I am very woke!"
APPALACHIA APOLOGY FORM
Reason for behavior: ✅I have never been invited to a crawfish boil ✅I was jealous of the natural beauty of their forests, mountains and rivers ✅I'm racist ✅I can't come up with any jokes that aren't about incest ✅I can't catch a flathead catfish ✅I think of my political opponents as subhuman without thinking critically about the socioeconomic factors that would lead to them developing that worldview ✅I just hate poor people
