An awful lot of people online today weren't even born when Roots was broadcast.
It occurs to me that a fair number of people online today have *parents* who weren't even born when Roots was broadcast and I need to go lie down for a minute.
Anyway, Roots. Come for half the older Black actors you know having their first major role, stay for Sandy Duncan being a huuuge bitch.
pros of having a large vocabulary: many words i know
cons of having a large vocabulary: many words i only know the vibe for
I can't count how many times I've researched a word because I don't know exactly what it means, only vibes
i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist
Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.
the real corruption was the friends we made along the way
The hardcore way to eat ramen: 1. Boil water 2. Eat block of ramen 3. Drink boiled water 4. Snort flavored powder 5. Fuck bitches
you looking for this my friend?
why is there a gif for this
it's healthy for academics to have professional feuds. enrichment activity
Holy shit. "The demese ef the Ne'enderthels: Wes lengege a fecter?" published in the Science magazine

contrary to popular belief i think calvin's adhd is, funnily enough, medicated. he takes extended release ritalin every morning alongside his chocolate frosted sugar bombs. this is because he appreciates being more easily able to focus on his various Schemes, Projects, and Machinations while more effectively ignoring schoolwork
calvin's dad pulling up to the house and seeing the whole driveway covered in a (completed) snowman recreation of the entire terracotta army and he takes a deep breath and greets calvin's mom with "i see calvin remembered his methylphenidate today"
i promise: however big you think this wave will be, it is bigger
That wasn’t a joke. I aimed my estimate high and then added some.
The wave was bigger.
I like to imagine that, thousands of years ago, humans still stood a (reasonably) safe distance from the ocean during weather like this to watch the waves, hooting and cheering when the spray came closer than expected and left them drenched
looks bad michael
my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:
he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year
Chaotic good
NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!
this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work
malicious compliance is one of the best tools in the arsenal of civil rights activism
Always reblog for malicious compliance
malicious compliance, my beloved.
"Grok is undressing anyone, including minors"
Grok is the tool. X users are doing this. X users are requesting this and Grok engineers facilitated this. Both are liable for this.
Yes, precisely.
if i ever become a showrunner i will actually do the fake series finalle followed by the true ending where the popular gay ship is confirmed just so i can forever poison fandom with the idea that it can happen for real and then they will truly never let that hope go for all other subsequent shows they watch henceforth. just for the sake of making the world a worse place
You have to make sure to let it slip in interviews that you did this because you're fulfilling the dream of your unnamed mentor(s), former showrunner(s) of an unnamed beloved series, who had also filmed a gay true ending actual final episode but hadn't been allowed to release it or even mention it.
Notice there hasnt been a wednesday this year
Suspicious.
Six days and still no Wednesday. I think it's safe to conclude that there will be no more Wednesdays ever
You guys will never guess what day it is.
Maybe it was just a measurement error, we should keep checking
