Alright everyone. What is your pets' life's mission? Robin's is to be inside the dishwasher and Sparrow's is to dig all the way through both the hardwood floors and my boots

I'm sure many people have already shared this here, but I think it's important that people here on Tumblr need to see this.

Best thing about this? It's a callback! To the cut scene where Stede asks Ed if it's okay to call him his boyfriend. And we know at least some of Ed's responses were improv'd, so I like to imagine this was too (it's callback nature is probably why both bits got snipped).

Thank you everyone who participated! If you were curious but didn't check, the first button dial phones were produced in 1963! (I myself assumed the 70s.) I suspect they were not common in households until the 1980s, cuz rotary dial just worked so well (and again, didn't stop functioning when the power went out). When I was a tween (early 90s) I got a phone for my room that was actually being thrown away by a local hotel. It had buttons to connect directly to housekeeping and room service.

In conclusion, there used to be a lot more late adopters, tech-wise. Ridiculous prices used to actually stop people from buying fancy new shit. Did you realize there were car phones during the 80s? They were used to show that movie characters were super rich and silly.

I would really appreciate if my small number of followers reposts this, please.

I would never have predicted that this song could be as versatile as it has proved to be - is it maybe the greatest pop song of the latter 20th C? I love surf rock, and if you like this version and play guitar, you can find it on Songsterr!

remembering the scene in arrival when our linguist protagonist talks about how language is what separates humans from animals. and then a scientist she's talking to says hmm personally I think it's science that separates humans from animals. and I really wanted that scene to just keep going with experts from more fields weighing in on how their field of study is the most fundamental thing about humanity. just showing all their perspectives

OK, so. Technically, I have a work email, a personal email, and an old email that I use for signing up for shit I honestly don't want to deal with long-term. However: my personal email is kinda hard to spell, so I have an easier, "professional" email that just redirects to my main one, and also one that's just for Facebook cuz I don't want Facebook to have my regular email (but we know they do, cuz they're evil) . And because my personal email is a bit tricky to spell, I have in fact misspelled it, so I snagged several variations of my own email address in order to catch those mistakes, if I'm, say, ordering stuff online while sleepy. There may be as many as three of those, I no longer remember.

But mainly those first two, and the third one gets checked every couple months, as needed.

I feel like the age of having a "burner email" is gone. Out of curiosity,

if you are in your late 20's or early 30's you are finally beginning to experience a true sense of separation and alienation from youth culture and to natural identify more with other adults as your peers, and that's a normal part of being an adult and moving into that stage of your life, and you MUST recognize it as such and resist the ancient Joker's Trick that is the urge to jump to the conclusion that nothing has changed about you and it is instead the children that have gotten weirder.

hey did you know that sheriffs are elected?

sheriffs are in charge of county jails, including conditions for those detained and the contractors they use. county jails are, in fact, the only carceral institutions run by an elected official. sheriffs are not accountable to a mayor or city council or county commissioner or the governor. the only thing they can do is zero out the sheriff's budget line item (county and city officials are elected). sheriffs have virtually no transparency or oversight mandated. sheriff departments are sometimes contracted to supervise local police offices. sheriffs set department policy. one of those policies is whether or not they cooperate with ICE (which is voluntary). sheriffs have no term limits in most states.
