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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
