Trump keeps saying about immigrants “they’re sending insane people”
……
It can’t be…. Because he’s getting asylum seekers mixed up with insane asylum right… that would be too stupid
Sadly I’m 99% sure that’s what he actually thinks, it’s the only way his comments on asylum make sense
More of you need to accept that Tumblr is just Dark Woke 4chan and this is something only people who have used both sites know in their heart of hearts.
4chumblr was a thing for a reason.
sorry im not done gatsbyposting. the nyc celebrations for its 100th anniversary are so uniquely deranged. like here you have a book that absolutely scathes new york parties & dress-up & entertainment & alcohol & careless wealthy east coast elites. and the way the city is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most beautifully written & personally devastating literary tragedies this country has ever produced is by. offering 10% off gatsby-themed cocktails at luxury bars. hosting pay-to-attend 1920s themed costume balls in the wealthiest areas of midtown. setting up penthouse hotel suites to ostensibly resemble locations from the book. a few hours ago at an exclusive private event they had the cast of the glamorous broadway musical, all in designer clothes, light up the empire state building green to advertise their show where tickets cost up to $670. one of them said the green light ‘represents the beauty of the american dream.’ i think you could power all manhattan with energy generated from the rotational torque of f scott fitzgerald spinning wildly in his grave
anyhow i celebrated this international holiday by leaving work early & dressing up & driving north five and a half miserable hours to see the empire state lit up green because this was a true once in a lifetime event & this book changed my life & i wanted to celebrate a character i loved and mourned & see a glittering green light shining on the water & reach for it like dreamers do. but even though all the websites and blogs i could find told me it would be green on the 11th—that it would blaze green all night on the 11th, and i triple checked each one—by the time i got there at 8:15 pm they’d turned it off. and the parties had happened thursday night, not friday. so i ended up alone & exhausted & rain-drenched & freezing & quite frankly absolutely crying my eyes out on the shore across from the city, just fucking stupidly sobbing above the water, wishing i could go back just a little way into the past. and THATS how you do gatsby. ill kill you all
if you don’t reblog this post im gonna explode

I love the amount of hatred the 2021 car is drawn with. because I agree
Folks are really out there arguing that generative AI represents the death of truth in advertising like we haven't spent decades watching TV commercials pour motor oil on pancakes because real syrup doesn't look like what people expect syrup to look like.
I think what the present discourse about generative AI in advertising really highlights is that a concerning number of people genuinely have no idea how far removed your average TV spot is from the reality of whatever it's trying to sell you. Like, I don't just mean camera tricks and good lighting – I mean that more often than not, the thing on screen simply objectively does not depict the thing you're buying. We're trading one maliciously deceptive simulacrum for another.
Shared by a comrade:
"You asked how things are in Minneapolis. Let me tell you the experience as a [latino/a]. I can’t leave my house.
I can’t go to work. I am essentially under house arrest.
They are taking Latinos and Somalis at random, not giving a shit about whether or not they have a passport.
They have begun going door-to-door looking for brown people. I wish I was exaggerating. It’s really fucking bleak.
"They took a 5 year old autistic Latina girl and held her hostage until her parents proved their status. At night, I can see fighter jets patrolling the skies. It’s terrifying. They took two minor teenage Latino US citizens working at target. We don’t know where they are. This is all on video.
But yesterday, I stood on my balcony and I cried. Not because I was sad, but because I felt hope. I heard the sounds of thousands of people protesting and making sure ICE couldn’t sleep. There is so much resistance."
