I’m sensing a pattern here. 😂

[amc-minx]

3 things about this post:

1) Bianca and Marissa. I mean, look at them. Just. Look. At. Them!

2) Erica would probably be a fun Mom to have, as long as she wasn’t your Mom. 😂

3) Zach is my hero.

Bianca: Look at my hot girlfriend.  Squeeee.

Marissa: Where have Bianca and I not had sex yet in our cavernous mansion?  Hmm..all 5 and a half bathrooms, check. Basement, check.  What about the maid’s quarters?

JR: …and then my Mom was gone for years, and my Dad was mean, and Marissa left me…it’s everyone’s fault but mine.

Erica: Why is he still talking?  I am Erica Kane.

Zach: I am going to have one of my people kill him.

who do you think was the boys crush growing up? i feel like both of them had a major crush on natalie portman as padme in star wars and like mila kunis as jackie in that 70s show. would love to hear your thoughts🗣️. also patrick being patrick probably had a major MAJOR crush on pamela anderson and sweet art had a crush on the teacher form matilda💜. also feel like they both had a huge crush on halle berry too

Natalie Portman is so real like I know they camped out for hours to see the midnight premiere of all three prequels. Art drove them in his brand new car to go see Revenge of the Sith since he was freshly 16 <3 I think they also share a crush on Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell since they woke up and watched it every morning early before practice (Patrick also had a crush on the entire cast though Zach and Slater, Tina and ESPECIALLY Jessie because he saw her tits in Showgirls)

oughhhh god Art would SO have a crush on Miss Honey 🥺 that's literally not even a childhood crush he would want her SO BAD. I think also, like, HEAVY on Buffy, Angelina Jolie,

And for Patrick, I'm thinking Eliza Dushku in Bring it On, or any time. Elizabeth Hurley in Bejeweled. Gillian Anderson in X-Files. He would looooove male athletes too and he could pass off his interest as not being gay, he just admires their athleticism, of course.

Kelby Vera at HuffPost:

Vivek Ramaswamy got quite a strong reaction from conservatives when he tried to explain hiring trends across the tech sector in a culturally-charged social media post on Thursday. In an extended post shared on X, the tech entrepreneur wrote about how “top companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over ‘native’ Americans,” claiming the imbalance “isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation)” but rather because of differences on the societal level. “A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture,” Ramaswamy continued, before telling readers, “Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH.” The CEO-turned-politician’s assessment? That “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long.” Ramaswamy suggested that entertainment has had an outsized impact on shaping mainstream American values “at least since the 90s and likely longer.”

“A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he claimed. Comparing and contrasting characters from several popular ’90s sitcoms, Ramaswamy went on to say, “A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zach & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers.” His solution? “More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less ‘chillin.’ More extracurriculars, less ‘hanging out at the mall.’” While Ramaswamy’s point about pop culture seemed reasonable enough, the entrepreneur’s diagnosis veered into problematic overgeneralizations when he claimed the difference boiled down to families’ cultural and geographic backgrounds. “Most normal American parents look skeptically at ‘those kinds of parents,’” he wrote. “More normal American kids view such ‘those kinds of kids’ with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.”

[...] Ramaswamy then tried to rally readers to help shift the status quo by envisioning a future where America “once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.” While he pinned demographic disparities across the tech world on supposed cultural differences, the imbalance is more likely about dollars and cents. In 2020, a study by the Economic Policy Institute found that employers that rely on America’s H-1B visa program to recruit temporary employees with “highly specialized” skills and technical education often pay those workers well below the market wages. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart, Google, Apple and Facebook have all made robust use of the program to fill job shortages. With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to implement a draconian deportation strategy when he assumes office next month, conservatives still seem to be at odds over how to approach the labor shortages troubling many of America’s biggest and most profitable businesses. Though Tesla CEO Elon Musk, like Ramaswamy, has vowed to be behind Trump’s harsh immigration policies, on Wednesday he posted that “the number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” and the country needs “to recruit top talent wherever they may be.”

DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy helped spark MAGA-on-MAGA violence over his X post on cultural differences on work expectations between native-born and foreign-born Americans.

[yourreddancer]

EmoMuskrat at it again

… Elon Musk retaliated against Laura Loomer and other MAGA activists late last night after they spent the entire day roasting him and Vivek Ramaswamy after they said more immigration should be allowed for foreign workers/students in the tech industry.

… Essentially, their message was that there just aren’t enough smart Americans who have the work ethic to satisfy the Tech Bros, so those migrants should be allowed to come into the country to work for them while we mass deport the others who are working in the construction, agriculture, food processing and hospitality industries, where they fill jobs many Americans don’t want to do for low to modest wages.

… But Vivek took things even a step further than Musk, which further infuriated them, by blaming American culture for the Tech Bro’s labor shortage: “Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.”

… Some of MAGA may have been with him up to this point, but then Vivek went too far: “A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zach & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers.”

… Now he’s talking in a language they can understand, and they aren’t liking what they are hearing.

… But he wasn’t done: “I know multiple sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates. More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of ‘Friends.’ More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

… Talk about smacking a MAGA hornet’s nest with a baseball bat.

… I knew right away as soon as I read it that Vivek was in deep trouble at that point, but apparently Vivek couldn’t figure that out. Probably why he couldn’t get out of the Iowa Caucus.

… Some really big right-wing social media influencers went nuts. Small ones too. Elon and Vivek were hammered all day and night by their new friends. The Vivek post drew 35,000 replies from irate right-wingers.

… Finally, right around midnight, the petulant child who bought X removed dozens of blue checks from his MAGA critics’ accounts, notified everyone that he was changing the algorithm to suppress their engagement, and removed their ability to get subscriptions from users.

… In other words, all the things they loved about him he took away from them because they were mean to him.

… For some reason, legacy media almost completely ignored this story. I guess MAGA activists close to Trump with millions of followers attacking Elon Musk and Vivek wasn’t an important story for them. But we were on stop of this every step of the way for the past 36 hours straight. I would like to thank every one of you who is able to help us do that so we don’t have to work for the Oligarchs or Tech Bros!

Zach, Slater, and Screech (from saved by the Bell) all three of them fall in love with chubby male reader who is the new kid

"Hey, Preppy, check out the new guy." A.C. points behind him as the blonde looks at the chubby male walking down the stairs and Zack lets out a gasp. He's beautiful and cute. Like Kelly, but better and male. He can't believe he actually thought that, but it was true. Even A.C. was having a hard time trying not to look at him. They were straight, right?

"Hey, Zack. Who you staring at?" Screech asked as he looked where they were looking and smiled like a goof. "Oh, him? He's cute. No, wait, Lisa's cute. He's handsome."

"Would you put a sock in it?" A.C. said. "Besides I saw him first."

Zack looks at A.C. "No you didn't, Slater. I did."

"Yeah, right, Preppy. If it wasn't for me. You wouldn't have even seen him."

"I'll go talk to him." Screech said as Zack and Slater looked at each other before they pulled him back. "Oh, no, you don't, Screech. He's mine."

"No way, he's mine."

Saved By The Bell Never Explained Zack's Powers And It's Been Driving Me Crazy For Thirty Years

Saved by the Bell was a pretty weird show. Characters disappear without explanation, people nearly ruin their lives over caffeine, and of course there’s the issue of Zack’s supernatural abilities.

At some point on the show, Zack gains and then loses the ability to freeze time, and they never explain it.

“But actually," you say, "that was just so he could break the fourth wall and talk to the audience!”

No, you're wrong. You're so incredibly, stupidly wrong. He also used it to escape from fights with AC Slater! His "time outs" weren't just a gag or a convenient way to add narration. While time was frozen, Zack Morris was able to directly impact the other characters. In Season 3 Episode 18 - Video Yearbook, Zack is being held by Principal Belding in his office. He calls "time out" just as AC Slater is about to punch him. While time is frozen, he escapes Principal Balding's grasp, avoids the punch, and stops Kelly from kissing her boyfriend of the week.

The time outs weren't a fantasy or a gag. Zack had real supernatural abilities. That's canon. Saved by the Bell gospel, baby.

But perhaps more importantly, Zack didn't have powers on the first season, when the show was known as Good Morning, Miss Bliss. And he didn't have powers on Saved By The Bell: The College Years. Zach canonically had powers only in high school, and they never explained where he got them or where they went.

My theory? Saved By The Bell was created by Sam Bobrick, who also wrote for Bewitched. I believe Zack Morris was also a witch. This explains not only his time freezing abilities, but the fact that he clearly manipulated the minds of his "friends" into maintaining their friendship with him for years, despite the fact that he was objectively a horrible person.

Was he perhaps the half-witch grandson of Samantha Stephens? Did his mix of human and witch DNA give him relatively weak powers that activated during puberty and faded over time?

The world may never know.

list ten of your childhood ships

@laufire tagged me in this

this list, of course, isn’t comprehensive. it also doesn’t have most of main ships I point to when talking about FORMATIVE childhood/teenhood ships [Piper/Leo, Inuyasha/Kagome, Ron/Hermione, Jesse/Slater, Fran/Maxwell] -- well maybe I’ve never spoken about them on these blogs], but these ones are still probably revealing effective and were the ones clamoring in my head as I made this list.

This is also ships that were actually canon or definitely with the subtext. If we went into tinfoil hat territory, I’d be here forever.

Shayera x John. [JL/U]

It’s tough to be an American worker.

You’re a victim of collusion between the government and big business to suppress your wages through imported foreign labor, and when you object to losing your job to a foreigner you’re deemed a racist or lazy – or both.

Credit, I guess, to Vivek Ramaswamy for setting off the dispute about American talent and the real “reason” top tech companies hire foreign engineers. Perhaps you’ve seen his tweet, and if you haven’t it’s worth a hate read. It’s supposedly about culture: that we celebrate mediocrity, that we need less sleepovers and more math tutoring, more extracurriculars and less “hanging out at the mall.” That we celebrate “Zach & Slater over Screech in Saved by the Bell.”

As an aside, what the hell is this about Screech? We were raised on Saved by the Bell. Call us subject matter experts. America doesn’t achieve because it doesn’t venerate Screech, the smart kid who lacked common sense and social intelligence? That Screech?

And is this the way to build well-rounded adults or to ensure STEM dominance? To deny them bonds with their friends (sleepovers) and the freedom of leisure (“hanging out at the mall”) and what they learn through high school sports (discipline and teamwork), and to instead replace it with forced science camp and Saturday mornings doing long subtraction and a regiment to make them the most capable of increasing shareholder value in the future? What a miserable existence.

We dare think of what Vivek might of other activities that are undisputedly worthwhile for the development of the young, whether they be hiking or fishing or simply exploring the outside world. You have your whole life to be a corporate drone – let them enjoy their youth while they can. It can make a better person in the long run.

[muddypolitics]

(via Elon Told Americans They're Too Stupid And Lazy To Hire. It Did Not Go Over Well!)

Musk’s DOGE pal Vivek Ramaswamy tried to ameliorate the situation by telling the angry villagers that it wasn’t necessarily their IQ or genetics that were the problem, but their entire culture. You know, the “culture” they’re obsessed with keeping pure from the influence of brown immigrants?

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. […]

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

all hell breaking loose - stay tuned for MORE maga idiocy
