There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

I love Superman’s origin story because it is the perfect thematic basis for his powerful belief in the potential goodness of people.  

Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van sending their son to Earth alone was an ultimate gamble on the goodness of strangers. They sent their only son – The Last Son of Krypton – to Earth as a desperate attempt to give him a chance to survive. Everything they were, everything that they could have been, was swaddled in a blanket sent off into the unknown in a ship the size of a cradle. And they knew baby Kal-El would be unable to survive by himself, that his only hope was that some strangers from another distant world find him and respond not with fear or paranoia or hatred, but with love. 

And in a thousand cynical stories Kal-El would have been stolen away by government scientists, or killed, or abandoned, or died alone in the fields of Kansas. But this is Clark Kent’s story and in it his parents' desperate faith in the goodness of strangers was rewarded. The Kents found him. This very ordinary and very human couple found a baby in an alien ship well beyond their technological understanding and decided to react not with suspicion but with kindness. 

They saw him not as a potential extraterrestrial threat but as an alone baby who needed help. They raised him like their own, with all the love and kindness they could give. They responded to his inhuman or even dangerous powers not with fear or rejection, but with understanding and endless support. And they taught him his values of helping others, the importance of assisting those weaker, lost, or more alone than yourself. 

And with this in mind how could this Superman – the product of the ultimate act of hope and the kindness with which it was met – not believe in the potential for goodness of everyone? How could he not believe that, despite everything, this big wide world is inherently kind?

i sometimes like characters that fucking suck. when a character is a shit head in just the right way it can be so funny and/or compelling. like this is my beloved character, Asshole The Hater. they suck and i love them. someone dropped them into a ditch on the side of the road and i picked them out of the ditch and put them in my pocket

fandom wide mandate that everyone has to re-watch the source material in steady intervals to minimize intense fandomization of tropes and characterizations that happens when people go without new source material for too long

While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies.

Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Onion, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen.

(EDIT: Fixed a sentence incorrectly suggesting that Clickhole is still affiliated with the Onion – it totally slipped my mind that they'd sold it back in 2020.)
