Just to be clear, because I'm seeing some misinfo going around about the oceangate stuff, it's not particular weird or an indication of failure for the controls of the submersible to be an xbox controller/other game controller.
It might sound odd to people who've never done any of this stuff, but legitimately xbox controllers fucking rock for being used to control stuff. It's significantly more accessible and user friendly for a large majority of people, and it absolutely makes sense to use them in certain contexts. It can actually massively improve safety because of the ease of use, and the fact you can have 10 full replacements in a cupboard that can get swapped in if anything goes wrong. It makes the controls really simple for people, and honestly it's a generally a solid design choice.
Oceangate's Titan isn't even the first company to do this, the idea most likely came from the US navy doing the exact same thing in 2017/2018 for submarines because they realized it was way easier for everyone:
Turns out that game controllers are just really easy to access, use, and sometimes keeping things simple is the best idea. Wow. Who'd have guessed the thing made to make things easy to control would make things easy to control.
We currently don't know what happened to the Titan sub, we don't know why things went wrong, if it was a freak accident or if it was bad practices or bad safety standards. Hopefully people get found and then we're able to find out. It may be caused by poor submersible design, but some of y'all are out here acting like you're suddenly submarine engineers because something sounds silly to you. Let's maybe wait until we have actual information on the situation in order to assign blame.
#oceangate#honestly I don't even really have a bone to pick with oceangate in general#they're the ones who scanned and freely released all the data on the titanic in a pretty cool act of historic preservation#there's some older stuff about safety issues but it's all from prior to the sub's final design and it's actual testing and approval#so we don't know what the cause is until they can actually find the sub#idk seeing people rush to make this fit the narrative that they want just feels like#eh

I know this is interesting to no one because it's incredibly niche but I have a little mystery around mid-to-late 19th century mens waistcoats that I've been digging into, and so far, after digging into a bunch of local, provincial, and also national and international online archives, including but not limited to the Rijksmuseum, the V&A, LACMA, and KCI, and also asking about this on instagram and specifically asking the dutch costume society, I have found:
-9 pictures, all local to my area in eastern Netherlands, and every single one of these pictures is people wearing local folk dress -and one (1) extant garment, in the US and also made there.
that's it.
#fashion history#historical fashion#all this to say: if anyone happens to know of a good database with menswear (esp waistcoats) 1840-1890 please send it to me#because I'm ???????? right now#can be from literally anywhere#I'm just collecting data at this point and not limiting sources at all#because I can't find any information at all#also if anyone here happens to work with antique clothes please come talk to me about this#maybe we can collectively figure this out

Archiving YouTube videos is activism, especially now.
Education on US history, LGBTQ+, racism, Palestine, and more WILL be affected.
Follow the 3-2-1 rule:
3 copies of the files on
2 different storage types with
1 copy offline
This will preserve your media and keep them safe from censorship.
Your favourite small trans YouTuber with 1k views per video will be forcibly forgotten if you don't archive.

Did I start this blog with the idea of filling it with historical fashion yes, yes I did. Has it very, very quickly become a quagmire of star trek and ghostbusters and anything else that my twisted little mind is currently fixated on? Also yes.

we need to make using chatgpt embarrassing. what do you mean you don't care if what you write is full of nonsense presented as facts
#chatgpt#ai#“ai” is just aggregating historical data to predict the next output in a sequence which is why is can output complete nonsense as fact#generative ai

I like to think Bruce have a journal, not as batman just as Bruce Wayne and you can see where he wrote all the headaches he gets from his kids
#Its kinda like a historical record of their lives#“Today i have found dick should not be handed coffee. He haven’t slept in 26 hours”#“Im not sure if im a good parent to jason but alfred said the bar can’t be that high with him”#“I believe i need a metric system to measure my parenting. So im going to collect data on our live and use it to analyze what behaviors-#The kids respond to best to provide the best parenting experience. The kids deserve only the best of the best”#“I have discovered hugs matter a lot more to tim than i thought. Dick came home and yelled at me ‘HUG HIM YOU IDIOT!!’”#“Tim is also banned from coffee.”#“Tim is banned from energy drinks”#“Damian happened.”#Im making it like a log but i think bruce would have most be logs but some will have more narrative to them on his better days#When jason died he couldn’t write at all#All these journals are not known to his kids but alfred knows about them because he is the one who suggested it#Batfam#bruce wayne

imagine the reason why he doesn't have wife and kids it's bc he ate them accidentally.......
If anything, Sukuna would’ve eaten them on purpose. I do say this as a joke. But it should be noted that Heian commoner life was likely full of famine and starvation. Cannibalism as a response to that is inevitable.
Directly quoting this amazing thread:
“We rarely have such specific records about peasants as that petition. We mostly have big-picture data like looking at references to famines and plagues in official chronicles. Environmental data has been used to fill out the gaps in these records and shows an alarmingly high rate of drought in Heian Japan. In his book Daily Life and Demographics in Ancient Japan, William Wayne Farris looks at population trends across the Heian period. Based on environmental data and historical records, he determines that brutal spring famines swept through rural communities an average of every three years. Mortality rates were very high, with between 55% and 62% of people dying before the age of 5. Life expectancies for those who survived childhood were age 40 for women and 38 for men. (These figures come from household registers which stopped being made after the early 8th century.)”
Eating his twin to survive. And possibly eating his mother to survive too. There’s something more to this outside of Sukuna just being evil. All the other antagonists’ upbringings/trauma directly affect how their brand of evil functions. He shouldn’t be any different I think.
#This is an explanation for the cannibalism not an excuse.#Also it’s super hard finding historical data on Heian era commoners.#I’m sick of reading about nobles. I didn’t even know they had slaves until I started looking for lower class life.#And even then the documentation of their exact living conditions is missing.#Japanese history nerds hit me up if you���ve got stuff.#I do like how the linked source uses environmental data to piece together what’s going on. That’s what I would for my job.#We need more cross-discipline analyzation. Engineer + Historian would make for more in depth reads.#ryomen sukuna#jjk spoilers#jujutsu kaisen#asks

I was already favourable towards coyotes when I started following you, but between you and a nonfic audio book I read recently, I'm now Obsessed. Thank you
#ask#I'm glad!#I just want (and need) more people interested in them#my endgoal is coyote education and teaching the general public about coexistence with coyotes#plus dispelling lots of misinformation about the species#like I really hope more people get interested in studying them in the field and working in public relations#I'm focused more on historical data and anatomical/genetics studies to have more solid info for subspecies documentation#as well as lobbying or certain populations to be protected#or ideally all coyotes being put under hunting seasons so they can't be killed year round#as that alone is causing heaps of problems#but yea like#please learn more about these cool little guys#I'm working on a program so I can both educate more people and get funding for more research but that's still several years off sadly#a bitch has the mental illnesses and is busy (I'm a bitch) :(#but doing the best I can in the moment so messages like this are super encouraging <333

I have experienced my first interdepartmental nonsense at work. I think that Officially makes me a member of this office now
#been working closely the past few weeks with another department on developing a new Thing#we just had the final meeting about it yesterday and i stayed late to get all the changes implemented and publish it#woohoo! my project is out there and being used by the first wave of users! I Am Getting A Good Grade In Office for sure#...other department reached out to me today seemingly not understanding how the thing that i had designed to their specifications—#and which they had had multiple meetings with both me and my coworker who was helping me about—worked#and asking me to make changes to it that frankly do not make sense#had to ask as politely as possible 'hey. What Is The Point?'#theyre gonna get back to me on that#they also didnt take into account how the seemingly arbitrary changes theyve asked for would interact with some other factors#met with my other coworker to make sure i wasnt insane and he brought up that also like#people are already Using The Thing#he has historically been in charge of the thing and as a rule we dont Change The Thing this frequently#bc people are already Using It. if we change it then everyone who already started using it will have to go back and completely Redo It#historically we have waited at least one full week to change the thing (not <24 hours) for this very reason#and if we do that then the data from our first week wont match up with the data from the second week#and once again it is unclear what this change would even accomplish#we are perplexed. i have requested a meeting with me + coworker + boss + other department to ask 'hey... what??'#me and coworker are the Numbers Guys so. hopefully they will listen to us about the Numbers#rambling

psychology grads in popular media: we despise Freud so much we have clubs about hating him
actual psychology grads (me): if roy lichenstein wasn't dead I'd kill him myself
#barely a hill to fight on i know#and i get that it's a quick ref point because everyone knows a bit about freud and his crazy theories#but as a psychologist#we barely cover Freud other than in a historical context and an example of non-falsifiable data#and small sample sizes#there are so many other psychologists we get mad at#and you can too!#harlow#zimbardo#guy who did the monster study#stapel#guy who did the fruit studies#and lichenstein but that is specific to me because i do work on comics and art but i can and will yell about him#i forget what the point of this post was#oh probably something about how i'm just showing off

Frederic Wertham is such a wild historical figure. Imagine pioneering race-neutral psychiatry and having your work used to win one of the most famous landmark Supreme Court rulings (Brown vs Board of Education) and then having your entire legacy be that you encouraged comic censorship by complaining that Batman and Robin turned kids gay.
#like the shit he said about comics was wild#and he did fudge his data so he deserved criticism#but he's so strange as a historical figure#Fredric werthem#comics#dc comics#also for context his comic talk did end up alienating him from leftists in his own lifetime#but yeah#weird

got distracted with a question one of y’all sent me about early d4 and started doing intense population calculations in my drafts
#went down a deep rabbit hole of average population changes and then readjusting for slow periods and environmental and political impacts#there’s so many numbers I need to make a chart I need paper (i need to be STUDYING)#see cause travel and migration is not a thing and so looking at like statistics is sooooo#gotta think about all the possible impacts on the existing historical data of the pacific western region#and then factor for industrialization and changes in panems history
