24. I like video games and astrophysics.

The most beautiful equation in mathematics is

Because it has:

  • 0: the additive unit
  • 1: the multiplicative unit
  • 2: the smallest prime number
  • π: a delicious food
  • e: amount of mathematics discovered by Euler in 3 units of math
  • i: I need to be in everything

namesakes of temperature scales and how real they sound:

  • Anders Celsius: yeah sure that's the name of a scientist I'll believe that
  • William "Lord Kelvin" Thompson: there's something really british going on here with that title but I suppose it checks out
  • Dan Fahrenheit: literally shut up

tumblr users will see a post structured with the classic rule of threes and say op are you aware that you could have included a fourth example

Well, yeah. There's always another hidden away in history.

you know how the rule of threes is that when you're telling a joke in the form of listing things you list every single example and it doesn't matter what order they go on or how it's paced and if anyone leaves off an example from their list it's because they aren't aware of the existence of more examples. the classic rule of threes

yall know human trafficking isnt just sex trafficking right? right????

The MAJORITY of human trafficking is for labor; factory work, garment/textile work, agricultural work, construction, and domestic work/cleaning.

And that's without counting -legal- human trafficking: Prison labor.

caption by @/ashleytheebarroness on tiktok: People reach for the Gestapo comparison because it sounds extreme and foreign. It lets white Americans pretend this kind of policing came from somewhere else. But ICE looks closer to slave patrols because that's our history. Local enforcement. Racialized suspicion. Vague authority. Taking people first, justifying it later. Gestapo is a warning. Slave patrols are a mirror.

You know I hadn’t made this exact connection at first but something in my gut told me that people comparing ice to the gestapo didn’t quite feel right. This comparison does fit a lot better.

dem leadership on social media: hey. we've noticed that federal agents are executing people in the streets and terrorizing local communities. we think this is bad but we aren't going to do anything about it. we urge you all to keep a clear head and also do as little about it as possible as well because you're pretty much just taking the bait if you resist right? and then yknow can we really blame them if they shoot you for that. anyway if you absolutely MUST do something, please join us in our attempt to beg like dogs for the lives our constituents at the feet of a man who has proven to be categorically incapable of empathy.

i'm of the opinion that the depp/heard trial didn't change peoples' perspective on female abuse survivors but gave them a chance to express the violent misogyny they already harbored. similar to men who speak violently about "onlyfans girls", they're overjoyed when they find an acceptable target. the depp/heard trial just revealed how widespread the issue is, and created an environment where it's even more acceptable to degrade survivors. i've heard someone say in real life "how do we know [rape victim] isn't another amber heard".

it’s frustrating when you’re talking about an inherently oppressive institution that dehumanizes everyone who is subjected to it and someone is like “it’s especially bad for those it is incorrectly applied to!” as though being the intended victim of an injustice makes it less of a tragedy

If I were a Democrat who wanted to run in 2028 and had even a shred of moral clarity and understanding of where we are at this time in history I'd be salivating at the prospect of running against the podcasting governor who's hosting ben shapiro in the year 2026

Discussions of trans women in sports often focus on elite/professional sports which honestly I find it hard to care about but the more common scenario of “we’re going to legally ban a high school girl from playing sports with her friends because she’s trans” is just profoundly evil

i remember when utah's (republican) governor ended up vetoing a law banning transgender students from playing high school sports when he looked at the numbers, and there were only four trans students in the state playing sports at all. he released a clumsily worded but surprisingly compassionate statement about the decision.

I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it, and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion. I also try to get proximate, and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56. 75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah. 4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah. 1 transgender student playing girls sports. 86% of trans youth reporting suicidality. 56% of trans youth having attempted suicide. Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.

of course, it didn't amount to much. they overrode his veto. it's just so cartoonishly evil. an entire state's political body so desperate to terrorize this one little trans girl.

like why are mobile games allowed to lie about what they are in ads. wasn’t that illegal at one point

nothing is illegal in the CYBER WORLD
