Nothing to see here folks. Just the richest man in the world influencing the removal of those investigating his company for unethical animal cruelty. Nope! No conflict of interests whatsoever… 😐

"kids these days don't loiter or act rebellious enough any more" kids just existing in public are more criminalized and surveilled than ever. almost every western country is running a panic about youth crime and how random teens standing awkwardly are a threat to civilization, and pushing for much more punitive laws. tons of states and powerful lobbies are pushing "parental right laws" that restrict the civil rights of minors even more. policing is first and foremost targeting youths, especially from low income and majority immigrant neighbourhoods. if a kid mildly steps out of line or says something awkward online or in a public space half a dozen people can whip up their phone and start mass harassment campaigns. and tech companies are now restricting access to the internet, the last way many teens can talk to each other freely and reach out to people outside family and school.
anyhow i think people really need to start giving kids at least a tiny bit more grace instead of making smug posts about how uncool they are compared to your youth days, you fucking twats

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

your scent processing being so close to memory in your brain is insane sometimes you step outside and take a whiff and go "ah, it smells like playing pokemon emerald in my third grade afterschool program in the crisp september of 2006"

Your horrible advertisement has blighted my eyes so much I will not be using your product and instead avoiding it like the plague. I will also encourage others to not use your product.

twiyor are partners in many senses of the word, but them as besties? perfection.
like, i don't think they're the besties that have a ton in common, but they love talking to each other and listening to each other and learning more about each other as they do. they don't talk much when they're around other people, both being more comfortable to let loose in the comfort of their home. and once they do get more comfortable, i can totally see loid being as much a yapper as yor is.
they like that they tell their stories differently. loid is predictably straight to the point, often starting with the end before going back to the beginning and dishing out every detail he can remember. yor is a bit more roundabout, piling on details until she makes a grand reveal at the end. they talk around doing chores, whether it's cooking or cleaning or in the spaces between helping anya with homework. sometimes they wait up for each other after a long day of work because of something that happened that day that they can't wait to tell the other over cups of tea in the dim lighting of their living room. yor laughs more than he does, but loid is never shy with his smiles around her. and very importantly, they might not talk about all their secrets, but they know that if they do, the other won't judge them for it.
it's just. very cute. i love it so much!!

My Buddhist friend was stopped by a Christian fellowship and asked if she would consider following the word of Jesus Christ. She replied, “No, thanks, but maybe next time around.” I don’t think they got the joke but I nearly died laughing.

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

If you would have ever asked me "Who is going to be a featured part of the Superbowl Halftime show?" I never in a million years would have guessed Samuel L. Jackson.
