red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.
alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.
rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

I have this idea and I can't get it out of my head so I am throwing it to the dpxdc tumblr wild.
Danny took a deep breath as he wrapped his left hand. He wrinkled his nose at the blood and grime he smelled over the cigarette smoke and alcohol. He ignored how his hand shook as he secured the end around his wrist. He heard the noise outside the room die down a bit and hopped up from the bench.
Danny ran himself through a few warmups before he heard the noise outside pick back up with an announcement.
"Tonight we have everyone's favorite, Wraith!"
People yelled out their bets and cheered when Danny stepped out into the cage. He blew out a slow breath and watched as the people in the seats above shivered. He kept a carefully blank expression even under the gaiter mask.
When Wraith stepped into his end of the cage he rolled his shoulders back and stared down his first opponent for the night.

I love house MD's inconsistencies actually. Wilson forgets how to drive stick in the seven years between mob rules and post mortem.

river- is the reason why we're having this conversation because he already has a kid?
dustin- i mean its part of it. being a parent is difficult... but its even harder when youre a young parent. and youre still trying to figure yourself out on top of that. i was young when i had you,riv. but this is way different. youre 18. youre still a kid yourself.
river- we're not getting married tomorrow. i dont see what nellie has to do with this
dustin- i just...see how much you like him and i need you to temper your expectations.
river- because he has a kid?
dustin- because he has a kid and hes had multiple women and men in his life and we see that. ive seen that just from being AROUND.
river- just because hes been with different people doesnt mean anything.
dustin- yes it does and let me tell you why,river. back before daddy and i got married he cheated on me. with some douchebag that worked at my bar. and he ended up getting sick because of it. something thats still with him to this day. all these years later.
river- i know hes sick.
dustin- yeah but what you dont nkow is how he put me in danger because i thought there was no way. 0 chance.. this man i was obsessed with.. in love with...that i brought into my kids lives would hurt me like that
river- but youre not sick.
dustin- youre missing the point. i should be. for as active as we were?
river- ew.
dustin- just listen. its going to be an uncomfortable conversation. the point is daddy didnt give a shit back then if he put me in danger for some piece of shit he knew for five minutes. he didnt want to settle down back then. i didnt see that. i was in love . so even though the clues were there the whole time i was..i was blind
river- blakes not like that.
dustin- but you dont know that river. he already could have something and he didnt give a shit about protecting you.

The past couple days online have been... interesting. I consider myself a leftist, think capitalism is corrupt, and think that it needs to be seriously reformed/overthrown. I admit that while I've thrown around phrases and terms like "burn it all down" and "the revolution needs to come" out of frustration without actually thinking about what a revolution entails: excellent organization, unity, and strategy to defeat the United States, the world's largest military superpower which has inflicted political and social destabilization across the majority of countries around the world. There also needs to be superb infrastructure and community to support the disabled, elderly, and poor populations who rely on government assistance and programs, healthcare, and accommodations while this so-called revolution rages on.
All I've received from the far leftist movement are lectures from condescending intellectuals who rattle off academic citations regarding ideological theory rather than practical, tangible steps to advocate for change in our local and regional communities. I have not seen one of them actually discuss conversations they've had with their friends, family, or Americans about what they want to see reflected for the future of the country. I have not seen one of them discussed how destructive, detrimental and traumatic a Trump presidency was for social prejudice and morale in the United States. I understand that for many marginalized groups they've been living in a facist state for centuries so the possibility Project 2025 doesn't galvanize them to see the two parties differently, but I don't think it is fair to white leftists falsely equivocate the election of both parties for the entire American population at all??? Or like at least specify the issues you're referring to in which you view both parties as the same?????
Literally one TikTok creator who I used to follow talked about how true leftists are so much better than liberals because they aren't waiting for a presidential candidate to save the world NOW due to the accelerated apocalypse due to climate change but when asked how to change the world they suggest sharing ideas of your future utopia with other leftist groups. How the fuck is sitting around talking about living in a walkable community is great considered "saving the world now"? How are you going to dismantle and restructure American infrastructure to create these communities? How are you going to remove existing racial and social tensions to create a community where everyone lives happily side by side? Do people not consider reality at all?????
And is it not wrong for people to have a fucking sliver of optimism and hope at incremental change that's achieved within the corrupt bipartisan system of American politics, even if they know it's propaganda??? Is it wrong for people to have a singular fucking moment of relief in feeling like their values, beliefs, and lives will be better protected and THEY can advocate for change better??? Is it wrong when there's a couple months until the most pressing election in recent history for people to make the choice they feel will reduce the most amount of harm???

I’ve been thinking to much about a modern AU where Grogu is 15 instead of a baby. Luke is a cop and Din is (REDACTED)(literally no one knows what he does. ) or maybe he’s a fire fighter.
Grogu gets arrested because he took Din’s motor cycle out for a test drive and slightly wrecks it. (It’s actually his, but he can’t have until he’s 18).
Luke picks him up and is waiting for him at the police station. He’s there like wow, this kid is literally me when I was his age. But Luke was that way because his father is the police chief, and he was always striving to keep up with him. So hey, maybe Grogu needs someone another parental figure in his life, and Luke tries to bond with him in hopes it keeps the kid out of trouble.
But Grogu is just “What? No. My dad is great. I fucking love my dad.” And “My dad is going to come pick me up, and he’s going to be so disappointed in me. He’ll tell me he’s happy I’m ok, and that he’s disappointed in me. Then he’s going to give me the look, and I’m going to cry…. Then he’s going to call uncle Boba and he’ll be disappointed to.”
When Din gets their to pick him up after breaking several traffic laws in a panic, he looks terrifying. Luke is concerned for Grogu’s safety because this guy looks like he could be in the Mafia. He’s not… probably anyway. But he bee lines straight for Grogu and hugs him. He was so worried he wasn’t even speaking English for at least 3 minutes.
Luke falls head over heels in a second.
