Burack Rant

"FUCK IT SO MUUUUUCH" here's my burack ship thread post cause I need to ramble about them feel free to not read this I just need to let my silly little thoughts out 😁

Burack is a ship that consists of Burt and Mack from In Space with Markiplier (ISWM) They have three ships names ship name number one is burack; which is just their names joint together

Now before I get to the other two ship names I have to say Mack has two variations Crew Member Mack (pictured on the left) and Dictator/Head Engineer Mack (pictured on the right) and Burt is a reactor specialist so his title is featured in both ship names

It should also be said that these are both Mack but in different universes, in crew member Mack's universe he isn't head engineer (though we can assume he is an engineer) and in the universe where he is Head engineer he basically takes over the role of engineer mark (pictured)

(cont.) who is basically the captain's (/y/n's) right hand man but in a universe where Mack is head engineer we see that he takes on a lot more of a dictator role if you allow him to take control of the ship, if you don't allow him to do this he essentially has an identity crisis and becomes mark (don't ask)

So thus their other two ship names are born with their second ship name being theoryreactor: it's a mix of Mack's crew self (seeing as he's simply deemed theory crew in the credits) and Burt's title of reactor specialist

It is likely Mack is deemed "theory crew" in this universe due to being played by matpat (creator of game, film, food, and style theory) that leads us to our third ship name corruptreactor: which is a combination of dictator mack and burt's reactor specialist title

Corrupt refers to how Mack is a very corrupt leader who takes advantage of those he rules over. Generally speaking I usually alternate their ship names but if I wanna get more specific these are the ships names I use.

Burack; all Burt and Mack variants

Theoryreactor; crew member Mack/all Macks [This is pretty much their default name that I lean to] - I also think theoryreactor is funny because someone can react to a theory and be a theory reactor.. idk

Corruptreactor; dictator Mack

Corrupttheory; evil/dictator Burt (very rare variation that is usually only based on au/HC)

No real distinction between ships names but if only one of them is evil or dictatory it's likely one sided (and angsty!)

Okay now that we got all their general info out of the way here are my headcanons for them!

Burt is trans guy but he doesn't really care what pronouns you use on them, they're just here. He's also panromantic and asexual. I give him a lot of angst but I swear I love him!

For example Burt had a husband and 2 children on earth but his husband died a year prior to him going on the space ship and he had to leave his children on the dying planet earth knowing they would die. ( I am evil ) Burt now feels guilty pursuing relationships. Due to how recent his husband's death was (or maybe it's been decades at this point who knows) he still feels bad and just pushes his feelings for Mack aside. That's all for Burt but now let's talk about Mack...

Mack is trans? (I really don't know I just know they're not cis...) they use they/he/it pronouns. He's also aromantic and gay. Crew Member Mack often finds himself unintentionally competing with Mark often feeling unworthy and like he doesn't deserve his job as crew member. Burt and him have a good relationship and Burt continues to tell them they're worthy, but Mack isn't able to take the praise as truth as he doesn't have a lot of friends or people who like them on the crew, they believe Burt's only friends with them out of pity. Hence why they often end up pushing her away.

Dictator Mack has a lot of identity issues as he knows he's not supposed to be here and he knows Mark's supposed to exist in his place ( but he'll never tell anyone this ) Burt and him have a generally okay relationship but it can be toxic... Mack will use Burt for his own selfish needs often times dismissing Burt entirely. He doesn't hate Burt he more so thinks very little of them. Burt tries to help Mack as best he can due to his respect for him but it can difficult. Burt feels some responsibility to help Mack as they're the only one Mack has opened up to. ( Mack seriously needs therapy ).

that's all for now friends if you read all the way here you get a cookie! 🍪

No two people in Washington are worshiped more than the Obamas are. But the narratives about their speeches are dishonest, telling half-truths and only parts of the story.

Michelle opened her speech by uttering the phrase "hope" and calling for "change." America could certainly use both. Americans are approaching record levels of unhappiness. A Gallup poll found that America is only the 23rd happiest country on the globe.

However, Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the past 16 years. Michelle's husband was the president for eight of those years. Democrats have had time to stir change and inspire hope. 

They haven't. Rather, the gap between the ruling class and the working class has widened substantially.

Everything We Know About Mary & George

BY EMILY BURACK PUBLISHED: NOV 16, 2023

Mary & George, a new period drama which will chronicle the affair between King James I and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, promises to be one of the most highly anticipated shows of 2024.

In fact, the romance between the two is referenced in Casey McQuiston's Red, White, & Royal Blue novel, wherein the fictional Prince Henry writes, "I feel that James I, who fell madly in love with a very fit and exceptionally dim knight at a tilting match and immediately made him a gentleman of the bedchamber (a real title), would take mercy upon my particular plight." In a fun turn of events, actor Nicholas Galitzine stars as both Henry in Red, White, and Royal Blue and as the "very fit knight," a.k.a. George, Duke of Buckingham.

Here's everything we know about Mary & George so far:

It's based on a true story.

Mary & George is adapted from The King's Assassin by Benjamin Woolley, a nonfiction book that details "the conspiracy to kill King James I by his handsome lover, the Duke of Buckingham."

Per��Sky Atlantic, "Mary & George is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers, who moulded her beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce King James VI of Scotland and I of England and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from a Spanish invasion and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher."

Galitzine is also set to star in Red, White, and Royal Blue this year.SKY AND AMC

The plot continues: "Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with her ruthless political steel, Mary married her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colluded with criminals and clawed her way into the heart of the Establishment, making it her own.  Mary & George is a dangerously daring historical psychodrama about an outrageous mother and son who schemed, seduced, and killed to conquer the court of England and the bed of King James."

Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine lead the cast.

On this day:

WITCHCRAFT DISAPPEARS IN TRIANGLE

On the evening of December 22, 1967, hotelier Dan Burack and his friend, Father Patrick Hogan, left a Miami marina in Burack's twenty-three-foot cabin cruiser, Witchcraft. Burack was the ultimate safety man and had installed plenty of lifesaving gear, as well as having flotation built into the craft so that even if the vessel capsized, some part of it would remain above water. The two men planned to head a short distance out into the bay to view the Christmas lights of the city.

They had reached Buoy #7, less than a mile from shore, when Burack sent a message to the coast guard that he had been hit by something from below and would need a tow back to the marina. He said that there was no emergency. If the situation changed, he was ready to fire flares to direct the coast guard to his exact position.

Responding immediately, the coast guard reached the area in less than twenty minutes. Searchlight beams flooded the area, but there was no sign of the "unsinkable" boat or any debris, lifejackets, or passengers in the water. Over the next six days the search had spread out to cover 24,500 square miles, but no trace of the yacht was found. There was no indication that it sank, yet it had disappeared so quickly that there had been no time for Burack to fire a flare, and was lost so thoroughly that there was no evidence it had ever existed.

HOT TAKES: Democrats, Media Seethe As Republicans Cheer After Vance Dominates Vice Presidential Debate

I don't know what the viewership numbers were on the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but they're not as high as they should have been because that was one of the best debates I've ever watched in my time as a political junkie (which goes back a looong time).

Vance, as RedState previously reported, wiped the floor not just with Walz but also the CBS News debate moderators, who did what they weren't supposed to do at least twice in "fact-checking" Vance, only to have him refuse to be silenced by fact-checking them right back.

There is no question here who won the debate, with pollsters and even some in the media saying in so many words that Vance was the victor:

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 2, 2024

ABC's Jonathan Karl: "I've got to say...Walz did seem unsteady and, frankly, what I saw in Walz is somebody who has not faced questions on...He was simply out of practice...JD Vance was very smooth. He took the arguments...to Kamala Harris. Overall, a tone of civility" pic.twitter.com/hxxUUtMWFO— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 2, 2024

Dems are fortunate presidential debates tend to matter a lot more than VP debates.— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) October 2, 2024

New York Times. pic.twitter.com/1FkoXMA072— Andy Ngo 🏳️‍🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) October 2, 2024

Meanwhile, on the conservative side of things:

JD Vance just gave a debate masterclass. It’s not easy doing that on the national stage for the first time. To thoroughly master the facts, effectively attack your opponent’s record and still remain likable and relatable is more than difficult. He crushed it.— Neil Patel (@NeilPatelTDC) October 2, 2024

pic.twitter.com/0y8SwwZX2K— Jake Avra (@jakeavra) October 2, 2024

And perhaps the best one of all:

Obama and Pelosi are about to replace Walz.— Bobby Burack (@burackbobby_) October 2, 2024

But with who?

Kamala Harris introduces her new running mate tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/RSVE5bsLRE— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 2, 2024

After what happened in July, I wouldn't put it past them.

On the other hand, the struggle is real at this difficult time for Democrats:

Here's the thing: VPs don't make policy. Presidents do. Who talks about the Pence years?!?— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) October 2, 2024

I actually think most Americans fundamentally understand that the VP is not the President.— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) October 2, 2024

But as we've seen over the last three and a half years, sometimes the POTUS is not actually the POTUS, which is precisely why this debate was so important. 

As I've said before, if there's anything Joe Biden's presidency has shown us beyond a shadow of a doubt is that vice presidential picks very much matter and can be very consequential on down the line - and sometimes much sooner than anticipated, as has been the case with Harris.

In any event, hats off to JD Vance, who if nothing else made vice presidential debates great again with his stellar performance on the debate stage.

Nostalgia, Gratitude & Optimism

The Yahoo-Verizon transaction closed this morning.  Here’s the email that I sent to company, looking back at the last 5 years and the company’s whole history.

*************************************************************

323 days ago, we announced that Verizon would be acquiring Yahoo’s operating business. Today, I can announce that the transaction has officially closed. While reaching this moment has certainly been a long road traveled, it marks the end of an era for Yahoo, as well as the beginning of a new chapter – it’s an emotional time for all of us. Given the inherent changes to my role, I’ll be leaving the company. However, I want all of you to know that I’m brimming with nostalgia, gratitude, and optimism.

It’s been my great honor and privilege to be a part of this team for the last 5 years. Together, we have rebuilt, reinvented, strengthened, and modernized our products, our business, and our company.

Looking back on my time at Yahoo, we have confronted seemingly insurmountable business challenges, along with many surprise twists and turns. I’ve seen our teams navigate these hurdles and mountains in ways that have not only made Yahoo a better company, but also made all of us far stronger. During these past 5 years, we’ve built products that delight our users, focused on our clients’ businesses, driven substantial value for our shareholders, and endeavored to make Yahoo the absolute best place to work. I want to take a moment to remind you of some of our many achievements together. They are remarkable, and we should all be very proud.

To our users: We have enhanced our products to be far more modern and engaging, especially for mobile

We became 1 of 3 internet companies in the world with more than 1B monthly users

We grew our monthly mobile users to more than 650M (one of the largest in the world) by launching and improving our products for mobile devices

We dramatically focused our product strategy, dispensing 150+ subscale products and features

We invested in search, building an offering that drew on strengths from Microsoft, Google and Yahoo, to provide dramatically improved search to our users and attract impactful partnerships, like Mozilla

We fundamentally improved Yahoo Mail, completely rewriting much of the infrastructure to provide a far more flexible and reliable system, while creating a robust mobile offering. Mobile Mail recently surpassed desktop Mail in daily users, which shows the power of the product and the platform we reinvented

We invested in our homepage and key verticals – news, sports, finance, and lifestyles – with each remaining as the go-to destinations in their categories. And, they have found new followings on mobile through the Yahoo app, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, and Yahoo Fantasy. It’s hard to believe, but, in 2012, we didn’t have any of these 4 now-cornerstone apps on iOS or Android, we weren’t developing native apps, and we didn’t use these sought-after brands outside of desktop. Today, our users collectively spend an equivalent of 1,400 years on these products EVERY day.

We bolstered our security defenses with cross-company initiatives like SSL, HTML5, Account Key, and HTTPS

We committed to and invested in technical excellence in our architectures, reducing user-impacting incidents by more than half over the past 5 years

We won 2 Apple Design Awards in 2013 and 2014, and put unified product design front and center with Fuji

To our advertisers: We completely rebuilt our advertising business, putting our clients first

We rebuilt Yahoo’s ad tech around the fastest growing areas of digital advertising - mobile, video, native, and social (the Mavens)

We delivered $2B+ in Mavens GAAP Revenue last year (42% of Yahoo’s revenue!) up 10x from $200M in 2012 and essentially zero in 2011

Our GAAP mobile revenue last year was nearly $1.5B, making us one of the largest mobile ad platforms in the world

We pioneered Yahoo Gemini native and search ads, completely from scratch, now generating more than $1B in revenue annually

We acquired BrightRoll and Flurry to generate substantial new revenue streams in areas that aligned with our strategic growth areas of video and mobile

We dramatically streamlined our ad product suite, improved the functions of our auctions and exchanges, and made our ad formats work better for our advertisers while enhancing the design of our products

To our shareholders: Our stock has hit a 17-year high, more than tripling since July 2012

We oversaw the creation $43B in market capitalization and shareholder value. Our market cap has gone from $18B to $51B (increasing our valuation by $33B), while we returned nearly $10B in cash to shareholders.

We bought back 27% of our outstanding shares at an average price of $28.64. This scale of buyback is nearly unprecedented in its size, efficiency and accretion.

We negotiated the ability to retain an additional 122M Alibaba shares after the IPO. Today, those shares are worth an additional $9B beyond the IPO price.

We generated more than $800M in cash by licensing and selling non-core patents and real estate

We rebuilt Yahoo with the most efficient workforce and operated with the lowest cost structure in more than a decade

To our employees: We’ve helped bring to life the best of Yahoo’s culture

We increased transparency, accountability, and innovation with FYI, Corporate Goals, PB&J, and Hackdays

We expanded benefits including free food, extended maternity and paternity leave, and encouraged using Yahoo products by providing smartphones for our employees

We prioritized leadership empowerment, diversity & inclusion, and giving back with Yahoo for Good

We strategically reshaped our technical and sales talent, with a workforce that became 48% tech and 25% sales

As I look back on these achievements, I want to sincerely thank every single Yahoo employee, past and present, for your contributions both large and small. I’m tremendously grateful for all of the hard work and the many sacrifices you’ve made. We always endeavored to do the right thing for our users, advertisers, shareholders, and fellow Yahoos. This has required the most impressive displays of teamwork, innovation, and resilience I’ve ever seen, and working with you has made my time as CEO nothing short of a privilege.

Finally, I want to thank our founders, Filo and Jerry. Every entrepreneur’s wildest dream is to change the world with their ideas, and you’ve done just that. From day one, your tenacity and whimsy helped create one of the most special companies of all time – one that has employed more than 175,000 people, generated over $77B in revenue, and has informed, connected, and entertained a large portion of humanity. You’ve inspired all of us with your brilliance, values, and passion, and I will forever be in awe of you and I will forever be your biggest fan :-)  

Yaho-o-oo!

Marissa
