#I’m not trying to make a conspiracy

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

i’m genuinely of the belief that the megamind sequel/tv show was meant to premiere on nickelodeon in like 2011 alongside their other spinoff shows, but then got shelved after the movie flopped financially and has been sitting around in some archive gathering dust until peacock decided to release it as “new content.”

like, can we just look at the visual evidence alone?

he fits right in with this lineup. peacock, i’m onto you

Ok but why is Natsuki the only character to get one pair of casual clothes. Like her Sayori and Yuri get their weekend outfits but those two also get another outfit in extra artwork (the overalls and the black dress) and while Monika gets nothing in game her twitter gives her both her white dress and sweater outfits. So everyone gets like an indoor and outdoor outfit but Natsuki apparently owns nothing else and just wears a shirt skirt combo forever. She is the universe’s least favourite child just give her something please

when the dnd session was so insane you’re like “damn I want to rewatch that bit” but you can’t because it was not an incredible fantasy film but just you playing make believe with your friends

There was some poll done among swifties on voting and I can't find it now, because after miss americana pulled a stunt to fight off the backlash, news are drowning in it and it's hard to search for that poll, so idk how much exactly, but something between 10%-20% swifties said that they're gonna vote on whoever Swift endorses no matter what this candidate says or represents.

Oh yikes 💀 I’m not going to form any strong opinion unless I can actually find a reliable source on this, but the fact that it’s actually believable is… not good lmao

Sarada Can’t Be Sasuke’s Daughter

Just to be clear, this is 100% a crackpot theory based on what’s most definitely a mistake, but I found this so funny that I had to share it.

Everyone was questioning if Sakura was really Sarada’s mom, but, in reality, it’s genetically impossible for Sasuke to be Sarada’s dad.

So I was looking at team 7’s blood types for a personal project and noticed that Sakura is O and Sasuke is AB. Out of mostly curiosity, I wanted to see if Sarada’s blood type was realistic (because your blood type is based on your parents and isn’t just random). I figured it would be since it’s pretty easy to figure out (it’s literally just a punnet square) and the Naruto characters that I looked up were accurate to their parents.

What I found was that she’s type O… For any of you who don’t know, a child between parents with type O and type AB blood would either have type A or type B blood. So basically, I’m sorry Sasuke, but you are NOT the father!

Assuming that Sarada is at least related to Sakura and she has the DNA of an Uchiha (and isn’t the result of some extra weird artificial DNA experiment), her other parent would have A, B, or O type blood. From the Uchiha we know the blood types of, the options are: Obito (are the jokes about Sarada’s glasses being similar to Obito using eye drops all the time still funny?), Tajima, Madara, Izuna, Mikoto, and Shisui.

I don’t have a conclusion for this… Just do with this information what you will I guess.

oh yeah the lore of what i've dubbed The Castle Quintent (white choco,dark choco,knight,pistachio and princess) is FASCINATING to me because they all have their own seeming storylines and character depths IN their stories and costumes. princess' coronation outfit,knight cookie's icewind cavalier,white choco's blazing knight AND ALL of dark choco's lore all seem to hint at something of a darker potential storyline for them as characters

Ooh, someone else who’s interested in the group!

I didn’t know about the rest of the costumes, I’ll have to look into that

If the dndads cast moves to Tumblr, I’m going to start firing some rent-lowering gunshots.

Hot take but Coffeezilla doesn’t make very good videos

I’d like to take a moment to apologize for all the political shit I’ve been posting. I have a lot of big feelings and no one who I can really talk about this with, seeing as I live in rural Ohio

Thankfully I spent today in Oberlin, so I was surrounded by equally devastated people as opposed to people who are so excited that *checks notes* a *inhales* straight white cis racist misogynistic homophobic transphobic Islamophobic rapist was elected to run our country for the next 4 years

FAN FAVORITE SIDE CHARACTER ONCE AGAIN- YESHHHHH!!

My mother is all into homesteading and off-grid living videos right now. Every time I check up on her, this is what she wants to talk about.

It gives her a sense of peace and purpose I guess. Which is good, she’s been struggling to find that with her injuries and condition. She’s learning skills, and feeling prepared for “the worst”. Like I can’t get her to stop watching conspiracy theory bullshit on YouTube so at least this kind of content alleviates some of the anxiety the other content amplifies, because she feels like she can do something now to secure her safety later.

But to get through these conversations, I have to tell myself— hey, if natural disaster comes our way, some of this might be useful. But I know she’s not just thinking a big storm or natural disaster. She’s preparing for the collapse of society. And I don’t know how to break it to her that we wouldn’t survive that. You can make long lasting candles with crisco? Cool. Where you going to by crisco when society collapses? You’ll stock up now? Ok cool. What will you do when it runs out? Honestly, before it runs out, what will you do when people with guns come to take your various stockpiled supplies?

If we hit a point where society collapses, we’re done for. Food, medicine, etc. we can’t survive without society, without a world where people are working together trying to help each other out.

So, I’ll go through with this shit in the name of natural disaster preparedness, and because it helps her. But that’s as far as I’m willing to put energy into it. I refuse to prepare for, bet on, or hope for the collapse of society. I’d rather spend my energy trying to prevent society collapsing, what little part I can play in that. I’d rather spend my energy supporting people in my community. I’d rather work and build towards a better future, not prepare for the worst.
