Ignoring the real possibility he intentionally let himself be caught from the little we know so far Luigi Mangione's case is a fascinating combination of astonishing brilliance and confusing stupidity. This young man plans and executes his assassination and escape with such a meticulous care and calmness that it's suspected that he's a professional hitman. He comes up with Riddler-sque moves like writing his manifesto poetically on the bullets and leaving his backpack behind full of Monopoly money. He carefully wears a mask to avoid being identified but removes it because a woman who was checking him into the hostel was flirting with him and wanted to see his smile. He still manages to escape the most surveilled city in the country in the midst of ongoing national manhunt only to get caught in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Pennsylvania while eating at the McDonalds. Because for some reason he had the same clothes and mask as in New York and was carrying the same gun and suppressor. And when the cops detained him he showed them the same fake id he used in New York. And oh yeah he's a frat bro gym rat who has a masters degree in computer science from Penn but reads stupid self-help books about being on the grind and is 'anti-woke' while being bisexual suffering from anxiety and wanting to end oppressive capitalism. Not even god himself could invent a person like this

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

[egophiliac]

you know, I've been thinking about it, and there is actually one single scenario in which I would be okay with not getting a big ol' "Silver Vanrouge" out of Lilia.

(just kidding, I still need some "call me Silver, Mr. Vanrouge is my father" in my life, please don't let me down on this one Twst)

Hey... so there now appear to be AI-generated science articles on .org websites that are giving biologically incorrect "facts" on basic, for-children topics

The title is "Are There Freshwater Octopus Species?" which should be an incredibly straightforward thing to answer: No.

The article starts out decent:

"Despite their many fascinating features, there is no evidence to suggest that octopuses can survive in freshwater environments."

Cool. Okay. Next section.

"While most people associate octopuses with the ocean, there are some species that can survive in freshwater environments."

Wait. What?

"Freshwater octopuses belong to the genus Amphioctopus, which includes several species that are found in brackish water and estuaries. These cephalopods have adapted to life in freshwater environments and have been observed in rivers, streams, and even hydrothermal vents."

NO NO NO.

One species of freshwater octopus is Amphioctopus aegina...Another species, Amphioctopus marginatus...

THESE GUYS LIVE IN THE OCEAN. [Scrolls 2 more sections]

Freshwater octopuses are still a topic of debate among scientists. While some researchers claim that they do exist, others argue that there is not enough literature to support their existence.

"The scientific method is the only way to find objective truths" and "all systems run by humans are prone to corruption" are two statements that do and must coexist.

2024 Prophecy

(2024 Prophecy)

Explanation: I like to call myself the new Cassandra, meaning that I'm full of prophecies (and other useful information) but ppl keep ignoring me. So now I'll write down everything that will happen this year and reblog everytime it turns out to be true.

Let's go!

There will be a dramatic change in leadership in Europe. Either something really unexpected (like Trump for example) or a revolution in any kind. I'm not entirely sure.

A famous musician (I tip a pop singer, but again, open for any kind) will die due to a illness.

A really big tsunami in Japan/Korea or however that area is called. It will be as famous as the one 2006 in Thailand.

I don't know why but I think a really life changing thing will involve a sheep flock. It will be something good, but I have no idea what it will be.

There will be a accident with nuclear power. Don't know if it's from weapons or a nuclear power plant incident.

KFC or Wendy's will have big scandal

I daydreamed alot about a non-violent apocalypse this year. Meaning the apocalypse happened, but society improved. So maybe a revolution??? (will capitalism maybe fall??? That's at least what I WANT, but that's not what I saw, so yeah)

The name Xaden will be important. Dunno why.

The first song I heard this year was Abby from Mitski. No idea if that matters in any way but I still want to note it.

Taylor Swift, Elon Musk and Kamala Harris will be canceled (I'm not even American, so I have no idea what Mrs. Harris' political stance on anything is)

This year will end good

I have no idea how it will start or how the middle will be, I just know that there is a happy ending

January will be wild

Silvia, fuck you (the sentence just popped into my head. This exact spelling)

Ashana, I'm sorry

Taana, go. (I have no idea how to spell it or if it's a name. Ta-a-na. Look it up in German on Google Translate. )

Purple flowers are planted upon roofs

China, Brasilia and New Zealand will have a rough time

Things will get good/better/okay in South Africa, Mongolia and Zambia (I have literally no idea how things are right now in these countries. But things will get better)

Missouri will be like the new Florida

Someone long missed will be found in Alaska/Canada

Sharks are getting accused of being violent (again) (sadly)

Anderson, get back where you're from or I'll punch you back

Yusuf, justice will be served for you

Maria, I know it's hard right now, but I'll promise you (even if I don't do promises) everything will fall into place. Eventually.

It will rain a lot in middle and easter Europe during September. Like unnaturally much.

The st. Petrus Dom in Rome, guys. I don't know what or when or whatever but it has also something to do with Michaelangelo

Y'all, read "All the girls I've been" by Tess Sharpe. I don't know, it feels important.

Sarah, leave. Immediately.

2024 is a cow and a deer

2024 is purble

2024 is a tulip

When I start thinking, years with round numbers are always ambivalent for me. 2020 sucked (for everyone). 2022 was great. So I kinda fear that 2024 will suck again :(

But it will end good, right?

RIGHT???

[talesfromthecrypts]

I get so frustrated by "yeah make vampires scary again" stuff every time a vampire movie has a "monster" vampire (Nosferatu, Voyage of the Demeter, etc). It reeks of an attitude that thinks all horror is about something being ugly and horrifying on the outside. If you can't see the horror in Interview With the Vampire, or a Jean Rollin film, or The Hunger, or Carmilla, or the vampire sections of Baldur's Gate because they are attractive that is absolutely an issue on your end. There is such a rich well of themes to dig into with horror and vampires, especially where sex and romance are concerned, but people are so desperate to separate romance and horror. The despair of being frozen as a child even while your mind matures, the loneliness of an eternity alone, the terror of eternal hunger that can't be sated, the awful seduction by something beautiful but monstrous. Trying to turn vampires into just any other monster doesn't make them more horrifying, its just a more kind of overt horror that can only be done so many times and is often covered better by other monsters.

poor Liu Qingge is really going through it in the succubus extra, he just had to go and get a crush on the most oblivious man alive

"Younger than me... we had a rocky start... completely devoted.... often together.... saved each other..... peerless beauty..... outstanding talent.... noble blood.... totally in love with me...... Wow what a weird love fortune! Definitely doesn't match anyone in my life!" says Shen Qingqiu while actively sitting next to one of the two men it perfectly describes

Every day, you heal a little bit more. Then one morning, you wake up and losing her isn't the first thing you think about.

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side
