"After stumbling into WhiteDate.net — a site for “Europids seeking tribal love” (their words, not mine) — I scraped, poked, and prodded the public data, user profiles, and platform quirks. What did I discover? Not just a digital echo chamber of paleo-fantasies and bio-essentialism, but also: Poor cybersecurity hygiene that would make even your grandma’s AOL account blush, Image metadata (EXIF) so revealing, it practically hands out home addresses with a side of awkward selfies, A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia"ALT

When she says it had a smurf village gender ratio, it’s possibly even funnier and sadder than you could have thought. The article doesn’t specify, but I keep hearing that out of 8000 users, less than 50 appeared to be women.

Root said she contacted a hacker who helped to exfiltrate the data. However, no hacks were required – all it took was a simple URL trick of adding “download-all-users/” to the top-level domain.

Holy fuck, I’m dying. Imagine being this bad at cybersecurity. How is the rest of 2026 supposed to compete?

MTV Music officially ends its broadcasts with the song Video Killed The Radio Star

MTV, the channel that revolutionized the music industry, has today said its final Goodbye by moving to a digital-only model. Its 24-hour music channel has ceased to be officially its transmissions.

The end came with a nod to its beginnings, the last broadcast was the iconic videoclip of “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles, the same one that inaugurated the history of MTV on August 1, 1981. In this way, the channel closed after 44 years, with the same song that defined its birth

RIP 1st Aug 1981 - 31st Dec 2025

Instead of a stoic hero and a chatty villain or a chatty hero and a stoic villian imagine if they’re both chatty. Just, the villian trying their best to kill the hero while the two of them have a in-depth discussion about their opinion of pumpkin spice

Villian: *shoots laser* No but seriously orange is a really fun color

Hero, dodging: but your entire room? I’m not painting my entire room orange

Villain: *stabs at the hero and misses* well then why did you ask my opinion on paint colors if you’re not going to listen

The Princess Bride

Holy shit

We don’t talk enough about America’s permanent ongoing saturation of “Stranger Danger” hysteria. It’s like this country’s whole social ecosystem teaches full grown adults to perceive an invisible army of rabid bogeymen lurking around every fucking corner. And it’s everywhere. Absolutely fucking everywhere, top to bottom, from true crime media and urban legends like the old Poison Halloween Candy thing to our sadistically rage-fueled, revenge-based justice system and immigration policies. The NRA and the war on drugs and post 9/11 airport security and mccarthyism and satanic panic and just E V E R Y T H I N G in America, everything that has defined its history for 100+ years is constantly nothing but this fucking FEAR TERROR FEAR TERROR for positively no reason. None.

Reasons I have found strangers in my yard at night (I’m not American):

  • Homeless woman, after a backyard party, starving and looking for any food we might’ve forgotten to take inside. We gave her some food.
  • Drunk man at wrong house. Not aggressive, just confused.
  • Lost guy trying to find the house of a family member he was supposed to be staying with. He was a few houses down.
  • Man with four tiny kittens who had escaped into my yard. He’d knocked on my door but I hadn’t heard him. Couldn’t leave the kittens in a stranger’s yard all night so he slipped through the side gate to look for them. I helped him and we found the kittens.

    The idea of responding to strangers at your house with gunfire is bonkers.

And when a six-foot tall Persian priestess with a fucking GOLD EYE speaks, you know you damn well listen to what she has to say.

LOOK WHO HAS SOMETHING DRAW. IT IS ME, MY GAY BITCHES.

Finally had a tiny break time.

So…. Anyone still up for golden eyed six foot tall priestess??

Oh, you better listen to her!

i’ll listen to her, give her my food, worship her, do her laundry, and generally be extremely gay

Okay but this is so cool.

This is the earliest prosthetic eye ever recorded, and the surgery was a success. It appears that it was held in with thread and was worn regularly, with signs of infection in the eye socket showing that it had possibly been worn too much without cleaning.

The whole eye was not gold, instead mostly being made of bitumen with the golden lines inscribed into it in a pattern that some archeologists suggest may be an imitation of the sun, the 8 radial outward lines being sun rays, to represent light. There are also hints of white pigment on the surface, indicating that once part of the eye may have been mimicking the sclera (white bit of the eye).

Some suggest that her eye elevated her status, and based on the responses of everyone here, that’s easily possible.

Bonus, the eye itself (which resided in the left eye socket):

Reblogging this version for the revelation that this ancient priestess prosthetic eye had a golden sun inscribed on it.

I’m not sure if that’s cooler or equally cool as a fully gold eye, but I feel like people need to know! Especially artists because I want to see that illustrated!
