#the entitlement is strong in this one

[s-insomnia]

"artists deserved to be paid" and "this is a horrible decision" are two statements that should and do coexist

thinking about that scene from seeing red and how it’s the worst thing you could do to a ship. like the literal worst thing. worse than one half of the ship dying. the one thing you can’t come back from. also arguably the worst thing you could do to a beloved character. that’s partly why decades later people are still angry about it, still feel betrayed. i think it’s a testament to how good a ship spuffy is, and how good a character spike is, that the love for them has prevailed, that it could survive this.

"Ugh, Dany's so entitled for wanting to take back her ancestral seat. She's definitely going to be the villain to the hero Starks. I can't wait until they take back their ancestral seat — they're entitled to it, after all."

thinking about how when i was in lower elementary, there was this kid that was a grade beneath me that just like...hugged me against my will, multiple times, and i was worried that i would get in trouble if i pushed him off so i would just stand there and wait for him to let go-

whoever the anon is that constantly finds a way to hate on elaine, please stop 😭 you’re entitled to dislike whoever you want, but it’s getting tiring to hear. i don’t want to block you because the other things you say are perfectly reasonable and i would be happy to answer them, but it’s clear at this point that nothing elaine does will satisfy you so i see no point in hashing it out

"Boy, you weren't kiddin' when you said she was Pace material, Willy! Sounds like you and the Colonel!" Callahan chuckled at Emily's story; the Colonel, of course, being the very proud, very stubborn, and very testy rooster a young Wilhelm had saved from a storm, bringing him into the house, wherein the fowl proceeded to tear up the floor and make a mess under the beds before he was eventually moved to the chicken coop permanently.

"I think I still got some nice scratches from his spurs, to tell you the truth," Colin chuckled at the mention of the old rooster, with Wilhelm snickering, saying, "That's what you get for teasin' him! You and Cal were always teasin' him, and eventually, he'd have enough of you both and chase you out of the coop! Funniest damn thing I'd ever seen!"

Both Lon and Erika couldn't help but giggle at the mental image of their uncles running in terror from a rooster, while Josephine told Emily, "You would've liked my friend Ruthie-she loved animals too, and she used to save any ones she came across; her family never let her have any pets as a child either, so she would nurse injured animals back to health when we weren't working. Some she'd release, some she'd keep-her favorite was a baby gator she saved from being eaten, it was such a little cutie! It liked Auggie too, I remember."

"It liked the taste of me," August elaborated. "Josephine and the other ladies in her troupe had invited me to Ruth's home after work, and the alligator eloped from its place in the bathtub and came downstairs to greet everyone. It was very young, mind you, so it couldn't do much damage, but it seemed most keen to toddle after me, after it nipped my finger and decided I'd make a nice treat."

Getting online when T Sw**t does literally anything...

Every tag. Every fandom. Fanfic titles. Retconned characters (this character is a sw***ie, this character is this song coded, this ship is so that song coded and so on). Fan Edits out the ass. Audio clips, lyric quotes, hot takes on Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/YouTube/TikTok. A cruel, unending slew of exposure you did not ask for lmfao

[luckyfaeth]

just saw a long ass post about d20 that talks about neverafter and burrow's end criticizing that they felt like they missed their goals in their identity given the initial marketing and i feel like it fails to account for the fact that while yes there is a plan with a narrative plot and themes and such they are also liveplays of dnd - things are going to shift and change as it goes on and sometimes plots get picked up and left behind because something more interesting to the players takes their time etc. and im not saying theyre perfect and things couldnt be improved by say longer seasons or more grace time between filming eps but to gloss over that fact is missing the point i feel

"I’m very concerned about my client’s right to a fair trial in this case.  He’s being prejudiced by some statements that are being made by government officials. Like every other defendant, he’s entitled to a presumption of innocence. But unfortunately the way this has been handled so far his rights are being violated. And as you know, Your Honor, there’s a wealth of case law guaranteeing his rights to a fair trial, but none of the safeguards have been put in place yet here — in fact it’s just the opposite of what’s been happening. 

He’s a young man, and he is being treated like a human pingpong ball between two warring jurisdictions here.

These federal and state prosecutors are coordinating with one another at the expense of him. They have conflicting theories in their indictment, and they are literally treating him like he is some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle. 

He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career. It was absolutely unnecessary. He’s been cooperative with law enforcement. He’d been in custody for over a week. He waived extradition. He was cooperative at all accounts. There was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles — that frankly I had no idea it was in their arsenal — and to have all the press there the media there. It was perfectly choreographed. 

And what was the New York City Mayor doing at this press conference, Your Honor? That just made it utterly political. And as your honor knows under Loro v. Charles, the Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit has held it to be clearly established that these staged perp walks to the media unrelated to a legitimate law enforcement objective is unconstitutional. And I submit that there was zero law enforcement objective to do that sort of perp walk. There’s absolutely no need for that whatsoever. 

And frankly, Your Honor, the mayor should know more than anyone about the presumption of innocence that he, too, is afforded dealing with his own issues. And, frankly, I submit that he was just trying to detract from those issues by making a spectacle of Mr. Mangione. 

And there are consequences to this. 

He has a right to a fair trial. And I just want to put on the record statements that the mayor made publicly about my client. Nothing saying “alleged” for example. And he said “I wanted to send a strong message with the police commissioner that we’re leading from the front. I’m not just going to allow him to come into our city. I wanted to look him in the eye and state ‘You carried out this terrorist act in my city, the city of New York that I love.’” And he wanted to show symbolism. 

Your Honor, he’s not a symbol. He’s somebody who is afforded the right to a fair trial. He’s innocent until proven guilty. And the mayor was talking to jurors — future potential jurors that elected him. Those are the people that elected him that he is talking to and calling this man a terrorist.

So, Your Honor, I just want to make a record of this and put everyone on notice that this has to stop, and my client is entitled to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence."

I sort of want to read more of these. this shit is funny bro

not submission. I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing. Cause like, no? Just because they are your oc doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. If you want to make your oc suffer and not like them get help, you deserve to lose rights over them. Especially if you only do that stuff to purposely trigger people. Once you do that, your oc no longer belongs to you. they belong to the public who will take better care of them instead

Making a comment to get this to post.

I & my colleague was just having a random conversation with one of the attachment students this morning...for some reason, we just started the 'back in my day' conversation out of nowhere & both of us just suddenly stopped talking & looked at each other intensely...like wow we're at that age now?

[snekdood]

the other day I was outside in the place I live and I looked up to the telephone wire and there were 14 whole ass mourning doves (not including the ones that were on the ground/flew away). and ik my ass is responsible for their boom in numbers djhbfsdghjvfd
