Greek Gods as John Mulaney Quotes
Inspired by the glorious @incorrect-game-of-thrones !!!
Some may seem not as accurate (some were harder than others!) but I did my best! Also some may seem rude-ish, and I promise they’re not my opinions! I’m going off of how these gods are portrayed in most myths.
Zeus
Poseidon
Hades
Persephone
Demeter
Hera
Hestia
Athena
Hermes
Apollo
Artemis
Aphrodite
Hephaestus
Ares
Dionysus

breaking bad, fight club, rick and morty, clockwork orange, and the catcher in the rye are all arguably good things - but if a man says they are his FAVORITE book/movie/tv show? RUN.

jackbabewang: I’m studying abroad and it’s incredibly hard to not feel homesick. So I’m wondering how do you guys deal with the emotion, knowing that you all’ve been home away at a young age.

vegans out here claiming that Okja is a pro-vegan film have honestly missed the film’s themes and message entirely. Okja is not concerned with the ethical consumption of animal products (as exemplified by the shots of people consuming meat are few and far between), but the ethical production of meat.
mija’s grandfather farms chickens and they raise okja by letting her “run around” (exemplifying the ethical free range production of food). furthermore, mija and her grandfather eat meat: the first sequence of the film is Mija collecting fish for dinner and later, her grandfather makes Mija her favorite chicken dish. the contrast between the soft lighting of mija’s grandfather preparing food vs the harsh sterile cuts of the preparation of the super-pig meat literally spell the message of the film out for you- ethical production: good! mass production: bad!
even if you missed all that, you can catch Silver, one of the members of the ALF, almost passing out because of his refusal to eat anything that has been mass produced, even his fellow ALF members remark that his convictions are unhealthy and make him useless for their cause (the liberation of animals)
also okja is the biggest super-pig in the film and the most healthy, making her a living breathing testament to the success of free range production, as what makes Okja’s suffering so terrible is the contrast between the way she was raised vs her horrible fate. furthermore, the insidiousness of the film lies in the dishonesty that runs through it. both mija and the public are lied to from the beginning about okja and the super-pigs, mija’s grandfather lies to mija about okja and all these lies were told in the pursuit of profit. even k, in the ALF, lies about mija’s consent in pursuit of his own idea of fame and fortune,
if this film is pro-anything, it is pro-halal/pro-honest ethical production. the film shows you over and over again abstaining from mass production doesn’t impact the production of the product, only abstaining from the nature of the production itself does
Okja is anti-capitalist, not anti-meat. Veganism is just giving your money to other cooperation who would rather take your money than let ethical independent farmers (like mija and her grandfather) get anything for their labor. support independent ethically produced products where you can!!

“What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn’t matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: who is to blame? […] What does matter is that, to them, justice was done. Because, you see, to them a just world is a sane world. There was nothing sane about Chernobyl. What happened there, what happened after, even the good we did, all of it… all of it… madness. Well, I’ve given you everything I know. They’ll deny it, of course. They always do. I know you’ll try your best.” - Chernobyl (2019) dir. Johan Renck

The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants. It doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask… What is the cost of lies?

people always list important early inventions like ‘the wheel’ and ‘plow’ first, but usually never get around to one of the most important inventions of all time
you know what completely revolutionized mankind, Reginald? Fucking thread and needle, when we stopped having to be bare-ass naked all the time and could put clothe together for everything from shoes to bags to carry shit in, we could go farther, last longer, sustain ourselves in harsher conditions
domestic labor, ie ‘women’s work,’ is so undervalued that it barely touches the public’s mind on how monumental it was to be able to make things out of fabric, how game-changing the thread and needle were… wack

“overpopulation” refers to a real problem but it does it imprecisely. the problem doesn’t actually have to do with an over-abundance of people, it refers to the geography of capital which leads to overcrowding in certain areas, the inaccessibility (and waste!) of means of subsistence due to the market mechanism (if you can’t afford it you can’t have it, if it’s not profitable we won’t make it, etc), and the chronic underemployment of people (which supposedly has a “natural rate”) that is intimately bound up with the inflexibility of capital under conditions of full employment, which is obviously unacceptable. basically “overpopulation” is a bad name for a genuine issue that’s internal to the logic of capitalism and which would be totally resolved through socialism, not population control.
