Man, I just watched a bunch of retrospectives on the Titan submersible and OceanGate, and now all I wish is that the CEO had not been on the sub that day. That man would have had one hell of a criminal negligence suit to deal with if he hadn't gotten turned into a paste.

It's so much worse than that he was just overconfident and miscalculated. The man decided he had to be an innovator, and he was fixated on the idea of using carbon fiber for his hull. No one else was using it! He'd be hailed as a maverick and a genius for bringing this material to the forefront of submersible technology! Never mind that carbon fiber had been very definitively shown to degrade after repeated exposure to high pressure. He had decided that it was his ticket to history and he wouldn't hear otherwise.

The entire industry told him that a carbon fiber hull wasn't safe. He himself knew it wasn't, because he'd had to replace the hull on his original prototype when it started breaking down, like everyone told him it would. Individuals and regulatory bodies reached out again and again laying out the danger and begging him not to do what he was doing, and he dismissed them all as old-fashioned and insular, trying to keep the submersible industry exclusive.

He didn't even do the industry-standard upkeep required for the materials he insisted on using, materials that, once again, had been definitively shown to degrade in deep environments. It is standard, when using carbon fiber in long-term applications, to autoclave it after a few uses to reseal some of the degradation. This fucker, born into wealth and charging $250K per passenger, couldn't stand to spend $20K to autoclave his carbon fiber death trap.

Beyond that, his marketing materials were deliberately misleading: he repeatedly pointed out that the submersible industry has an incredible safety record, pretty much zero deaths in the last 50 years. However, he was knowingly skipping all of the safety tests and best practices that had contributed to that record, meaning he benefited from that reputation without putting in any of the work required to uphold it.

Yeah, I really wish we could have seen him try to argue in court that he wasn't culpable.

Love how op mentioned literally everyone except women. Aka the half of the population that are currently under the threat to have the miniscule rights they have over their bodies removed. Oh, and of course she has "TERFs DNI" in her bio. Next time just proudly proclaim yourself to be an MRA, alright?

John Oliver platforms Palestinian voices as he advocates for voting for Harris.

If you live in a swing state, please properly consider your role in this election. Remember to distrust the polls, the projections - the presidential election will be infuriatingly close. Nothing is set in stone.

Please think about your queer friends and family, your community that includes people of colour, disabled people, poor people, immigrants. Evaluate the true historical value of what a protest vote does - compare it to the two candidates, one of which will be the president at the end of this final stretch.

Your vote matters. Please, treat it like it does.

I'm so incredibly impressed by shelby for speaking up. it must've been so scary to speak out again him as a publically well liked person knowing she could receive so much backlash. But by doing so she's preventing him from hurting more women especially cuz his fanbase is largely female. and man that just takes so much bravery and strength to do I just wish her only good things

The government spontaneously deciding to seize 40% of all my earnings because i put them in a dollar account and they r so very poor and need my dollores to fight big scary inflation :( (they tax everything by 700%) (they just stole half of all my savings from the last three years)

Screaming over all the challenges to the narrative in the newest IWTV episode

I love that Lestat walks onto the stage with the intent to remain stone cold as he condemns Louis and Claudia--and instead leaves psychologically wrecked and guilty (he's literally swaying back and forth in the background as Louis and Claudia are sentenced)

Love that Louis' memory is reinforced as less and less reliable with every episode (that shot of him dragging pre-transformed Claudia's body like a rag doll, like a toy? goddamn.)

Love that Daniel is trying to call Armand (my poor wet meow meow, who has never done anything wrong in his life) on his lying bullshit in front of Louis

Can we all agree that the main villain of Mary Queen of Scots's demise and failed reign is not Elizabeth I or Cecil or Walsingham or anyone at the English court?

It's actually Lord D*rnley. *Mic drop*
