the best thing about pedro acosta is that his ex-best friend turned enemy, fermin aldeguet, is arriving to the grid next year. if you’ve ever seen a video of the two of them interacting – the vibes are rancid. like, they grew up together, from the same town, fought in the same competitions, traveled together, slept next to each other and now when pedro has to shout out people from his hometown that made it up the ladder, he is always like “ana carrasco 😁 the other one too i guess 🙄”

oh yeah, I've seen some of those clips, they're great!! they have a fantastic dynamic, very bad vibes! and yes, even better because they do known each other so well, and now it's like..? pedro isn't even actively hostile towards him, it's basically just kinda blanking him! pretty cold! I'm hoping that in about a decade's time we'll gradually have been fed enough bread crumbs to put together what exactly's going on there (wonder if there's a link there with pedro's 'I'm not here to make friends' 'rabid rivalries are good for the sport, actually' stance... insert speculation here! maybe he's withdrawn deliberately from that friendship because he doesn't think it's a good idea to be close to a rival, hm?)

that being said, do need fermin to pick it up lol. I'm a big believer in the 'not every rivalry has to be conducted between equals and a lot of the best ones aren't' principle, but the thing is this kind of rivalry does kind of depend on that. it'd maybe be interesting if the more successful guy were warmer than the less successful one, but this way round? makes it too easy for one bloke to just dismiss the other. obviously, I'm not writing off fermin because of a rocky moto2 campaign... still, being the fourth of four boscoscuros isn't ideal, and it'd be good to see that the late 2023 form wasn't just a fluke. let's see how the rest of the year goes and then, far more importantly, how he makes the jump to motogp. certainly hope we'll get some competition at the very top between the two of them though, feels like it has great narrative potential

#//#brr brr #batsplat responds #there's also a tennis player from murcia whose name pedro needed to be reminded of by fermin earlier this year #winning here #always a jump scare when i'm reminded that these guys are all italian/spanish. within a motogp setting it's fine because it's the default #and also they're constantly at *each other's* throats which feels like the morally cleanest way to deal with those two countries #but then when they're interacting with other athletes from their countries i'm like. how dare you. i fucking hate those guys #marc and vale taking turns to celebrate my greatest sports traumas on instagram. so that's sweet for them!! glad they can share that <3 #sometimes i remember casey is australian and i'm horrified #current tag

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

#there is not a third option. it is either trump OR biden #and one of those will be much MUCH worse for palestine #i'm really really sorry that these are the options. i wish they weren't.#but WHAT third option are you trying to take here? what on earth is your proposed outcome #that will actually make things better for palestine?#because letting trump win the election is NOT going to help them #i'm sorry but you need to set aside your feelings and take the option that will lead to less harm to palestine in the long run #you talk such a big game about how people need to be willing to make sacrifices to help palestine #but you yourself aren't even willing to hold your nose and vote to stop things from getting worse?#or did you think 'sacrifice' only meant not getting mcdonalds for a few months?#us politics

I can't keep being fundamentally changed as a person by animated movies, it's just not sustainable.

#animation #animated film #animated movies #across the spiderverse #across the spider-verse #spiderverse #puss in boots #puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots 2 #nimona #nimona film #yes i'm posting this specifically because i just watched nimona and am feeling all kinds of things but really these are all PEAK TIER #the fact they have ALL been released within 7 months of each other...like...woah we are thriving right now #stylised animation with its own unique style reflecting the movie i love you forever kissing you on the mouth #films that make me ferally rip up any and all art blocks to shreds #and that's just the animation side of things #i won't get started on the plots. they also make me want to bounce off of walls #hugging all these close to my chest #as well as all the other great animated movies that exist because animation wins all catergories for me always #(let's not forget anime movies either; y'all are beautiful too! keeping 2d animation alive and i'm so here for it)

Listen up.

The current Supreme Court is a 6-3 conservative majority.

Justice Thomas, that corrupt fascist fucker, is 75.

Justice Alito, that biased fascist fucker, is 74.

Each is married to a fascist ultra right wing woman. Ginny Thomas was actively involved in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Martha Ann Alito is the alleged source of the ultra right wing flags on the Alito homes.

If Trump is elected in 2024, Thomas and Alito will retire, just like Kennedy did in 2018. Trump will get to appoint two more justices in their 50s.

Like sexual assaulter and liar Kavanaugh. Or handmaid's tale Coney Barrett. And the conservative majority will be on lock for thirty years. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett are in their 50s.

Add two more ultraconservative justices in their 50s and you have a five seat conservative majority for 30 years if they live natural lifetimes.

If Trump is elected in 2024, we've not only lost the Court for at least a decade (now) but another thirty years.

What other civil rights would you like to lose? Because YOU WILL. We ALL will.

Can we fucking not? CAN WE FUCKING NOT?

Vote for Biden.

Vote for Democrats for the Senate.

#vote blue every time #SCOTUS #being a lawyer #we have indeed lost scotus for a generation #but we could lose it for two generations if Trump wins in 2024 #elections have consequences so here we fucking are #the next president is biden or it's trump and surely you have a preference between them so vote
