Baseball was originally broadcast on AM radio, but at this time major automakers were switching their advertising from radio to TV.

i'm genuinely having so much fun writing a jock protagonist. can't believe i never tried this before. all these years i've been limiting myself needlessly

[copingchaos]

There are ads here on tumblr as well. Tiktok is putting warnings on videos of people who are only mentioning what is happening in palestine. Instagram is deleting accounts of people who are reporting straight from gaza.

Biden questioned the number of deaths reported in Gaza, after which the health ministry came out with a report over 200 hundred pages long with personal information on the killed individuals.

24 journalists have been killed in 21 days.

Yesterday internet and phone services in Gaza went down, due to the heavy bombardments.

The voice of the people in palestine is being silenced in every way you can imagine.

So the least you can do, is share what is going on. Use all your platforms. Even this one.

if I were a pro soccer player and they were gonna film me taking one step forward and crossing my arms for when they talk through the formation at the start of the TV coverage, I would simply develop an uncontrollable wiggle that prevented me from standing still

i know that disney is too big to boycott effectively but that shouldn't translate to "and so we should keep buying their products like normal" but rather "at the very least we should try"

Olympics equestrian cross country announcer, at Versailles, most elegantly: that's a beautiful jumper. What incredible synchronicity between horse and rider. Phenomenal movement.

Me, at home, most ardently: GO HORSIE GO YOU SO FAST YOU SO SMART YOU SO PRETTY YOU BETTER GIVE THAT GOOD GOOD CHAMPION HORSIE PATTY PATS

that last sentence is so powerful considering everything that's going on

including recent events in which french senators are currently trying to pass a bill to criminalize critiqueing the state of israel/ speaking up against zionism: "those who insult the state of israel would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000 "

imagine making it illegal to speak up against a state that has bombed civilians with white phosphorus

imagine making it illegal to speak up against a state that is carrying out collective punishment against the entire population in Gaza, as we speak

this might soon be the world we live in

Lotus Elan S3, 1966. The Elan was an era-defining car and was for Lotus, their first really commercially successful road car. It featured a steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body and was powered by a DOHC 1,558 cc engine, with 4-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and 4-wheel independent suspension. Sales were boosted in the UK and internationally when the character Emma Peel (played by Diana Ring) drove one in 60’s TV series The Avengers. It provided the template for the Mazda MX-5 Miata. In 2004, Sports Car International placed the Elan number 6 in a list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. 

PS: Diana Rigg had to learn to drive for the TV show, Lotus gave her the car when she left The Avengers, but she wasn't a keen driver and passed the Elan onto a friend. More recently Dame Diana played the role of Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones, she passed away in 2020, aged 82. R.I.P
