Terrible superpowers I think of a lot:

Invulnerability; also you can fill someone with blind rage and make them want to kill you specifically. This makes you the superhero version of a rodeo clown, redirecting heavy hitters from your teammates to you.

You can open your mouth and say the most psychologically damaging insult possible about the target. The power is slightly psychic, and will attack deeply rooted insecurities of the target; you are not aware of what you will say before you say it.

You can turn any printed instance of the letter Q into a portal to any other printed instance of the letter Q on earth. This does not work on any instances of the letter Q that you write or create; however, if someone else says a word with the letter Q in it, you are able to use that Q.

You can see any moment in the past 24 hours that occurred where you are standing. Occasionally useful for solving crimes, incredibly useful for remembering where you just put down your phone.

"we want to protect the kids!!"

— in a way that will also protect them from their parents & guardians right?

"what"

— if a parent or guardian wanted to abuse their child, would what you're trying to do make it harder for them?

"..."

— *pulls out a chart that shows 76% of abused children were victimized by a parent or legal guardian* will what you're advocating for make it easier for the majority child abusers, which is overwhelmingly parents & guardians, to get away with abuse?

"idk what this has to do with anything we just want to restrict children's freedoms more & give parents more control over them. you know. to protect them from adults who want to abuse them"

Every. Single. Time.

Stickers seen around NYC in the days after cops opened fire in the NYC subway, shooting a fellow officer, two bystanders, and an alleged "fair evader" they were attempting to apprehend.

My name is Osama Abdel Salam Al-Qarnawi, I am from Gaza, an area that was devastated by the recent war. Amidst the ruins of our home, along with my brothers Hussam and Abu Abdel Salam, I feel the need to share our plight.

Our once thriving community has been reduced to rubble, with most homes, including ours, reduced to rubble. Among the rubble are people from my family who have been lost, as well as our food shop, which was our livelihood.

My family and I are struggling with the aftermath, and looking for support to rebuild our shattered lives.

We are appealing to compassionate individuals and organizations around the world to help. Your contributions will help us not only restore our homes but also restore our livelihoods, which includes rebuilding our grocery store.

The funds raised will be carefully allocated to rebuilding our home and restoring the store to operational capacity. We pledge transparency in our endeavors, ensuring that every donation is directed towards the intended purpose.

Please help us to help those in need, and save my family from this devastating war, including ourselves and others affected by this devastating conflict.

Your support will not only help us restore our livelihoods, but will also help revive hope and resilience in children and the ability to endure in our war-torn community. We humbly appeal for your generosity to help us rebuild our lives from the ashes of destruction. 😭😭😢 🇵🇸🙏

idk why but i absolutely hate AI generated images of wizards more than any other AI pictures.

i think it's because the sparse pickings of beautifully rendered oil painting tableaus of wizards from the late 20th century (for things like game manuals and fantasy novels) feel like they actually are made of magic to me.

to see those familiar shapes choked and twisted out of the chaotic mess of predicative digital brush strokes is like watching a dying pig's face transform into the face of my weeping mother before it stops moving forever.

*Saw Theme Song Plot Twist Reveal*

NYPD chase a man for fare evasion, tase him, become “aware of a knife” and then started blasting, hitting a cop, and two bystanders (one in the head) before getting this guy. Backtracking with “well this guy has done xyz before”, the cops didn’t know that. They frantically looked him up so they could justify a mass shooting of New Yorkers.

They drew guns over skipping the fare. They fired at anything that moved when they thought he had a knife. No confirmation that he even did have a knife.

Appalling.

Ran into an "everything was better in my day" old guy today who was genuinely shocked to learn that he was in his teen years before his mother was allowed a bank account without a man's permission

I watched Face/Off for the first time last night and all I can remember of it is this one scene

which was followed 20 seconds later by this scene

Which itself was followed by this scene almost precisely 20 seconds later

It's like poetry

Fuck it. Moo Deng posting on main

© Khao Kheow Zoo, Thailand

By the way, her name Moo Deng are Thai words translated to “bouncy pork” which is a common Thai dish — as Moo means “pig” or “pork” (Thai language uses Moo for both pig and pork interchangeably), while Deng means “bouncy and slippery”. Thus Moo Deng (bouncy pork) got her name from her “bouncy and slippery” nature :)

Also for those who were wondering, here’s what the actual Moo Deng (bouncy pork) looks like as a dish
