Punch Out Wii is funny because imagine if a comically shrimpy guy was so good at boxing that he defeated all avaliable human opponents and became the world champion, and no matter who was thrown at him he always found a way to win, so eventually the fight organizers just said "Fuck it, put him in the ring with a 500 pound silverback gorilla. Who cares anymore." This fight sells out a stadium and thousands of people gather to watch a 5'7", 107 pound man fistfight a gorilla the size of a Nissan Cube. And the dude wins

Also the gorilla will kidnap him if he loses

Which, as far as the outcomes of attempting to fight a huge gorilla tend to go, is actually pretty alright

I hope you don't; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love 💔😔

Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.

Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.

I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold 🥶😰

And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain ⛈️⛺

Please save What's left of us, share with us, and if you can, a donation can save an entire family from death ❣️🙏

Gaza without bread .. The sector's bakeries were closed all of the day .. The remaining flour is not enough for more than a week, and the sack of flour if its price is exceeded 60 dollars ..

I swear to you that Gaza is hungry, and the remaining food stocks are not enough for the maximum of more than ten days and will completely end .. What do you expect after that from a people who kill around the clock and now hunger?! God does not forgive those who brought us here, God does not forgive those who have the ability to stop this genocide and did not.

Please, if you can't donate and help us, speak up. At least your voice might be heard. Donate from here if you can.

This is how any corporation functions. First, increasing profits is done by attracting more customers. Then, once they have all the customers they're going to get, increasing profits is done by increasing prices or cutting costs.

Hey folks -- Big protest day on Saturday here in the US. There's a LOT of events (literally one the next town over from me and I live in the fucking sticks so seriously, look to see if one's near you!) and if you can't attend a protest or rally, make time to call your reps and make some noise.

my bear-man in christ i have already identified it

The ones in the original post and in the 18th reply are modern humans (Homo sapiens) and zvaigsdelasas’ icon is a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) of the Chow Chow breed. All the other images shown in this post seem to not be of mammals.

I mean. There’s Vriska but I don’t know enough about Homestuck to know if the trolls are actually mammals or not. All I know is that there’s one guy who has been raised by crabs or something along these lines and a dog girl. That’s about it.

as a guy who has never been a fan of april fools day i appreciate so much that no one is in the fucking mood rn

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.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."

The new record speech is on the right side of history.

my dad is convinced I can identify any native amphibian, reptile or gastropod and sends me pictures asking me what they are. like dude. I’m autistic. not AskJeeves. …..anyway that is a rough green snake, Latin name Opheodrys aestivus, a nonvenomous colubrid often found in southeastern woodland environments

on the other end the copyright argument against ai art is just so bad. I hate how that's the most common one people use, like I'm sorry but an interpretation of copyright law that classifies images made with generative ai as "plagiarism" or "theft" would be a worst-case scenario for everyone except the walt disney corporation

arguments against ai art that are defensible positions:

arguments against ai art that I regularly see people make:

I don't really care if it's legally theft to take the work of an artist and then turn that into a "style" for your generative AI without the permission of said artist. Be it because they are dead or because they didn't consent. I just think it's a very depressing and gross thing to see. Especially as many artists struggle to make a living. And yeah the root cause is capitalism, but that doesn't exactly absolve AI from being the latest tool that capital is using to trample artists.

well. I do care if it's legally theft or not. it's important that it isn't. making an ai model of someone's art style without their permission is weird but it's not like, stealing. there isn't a thing that the artist had before that they now do not have. even though that can be an unethical thing to do, it's not "theft" in any meaningful sense

Tumblr used to be so easy, so simple.

What happened when did we stray so far from the light of god

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

THIS SUMMERS GONNA BE SO COOL

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.
