Twitter community notes are so done with people's shit when even the fact checkers broke down.
Bonus: Here's a snipped out version of the Twitter Community Note for your own needs.

Hey, I'll fucking take it. Cheers to avoiding rampant public safety disasters and strobing-induced seizures!
--
"A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination."

IMPORTANT PSA TO THOSE NEW TO TUMBLR OR REALLY ANYONE ON THIS SITE IN GENERAL:
IT IS OK TO REBLOG SPAM AND LIKE SOMEONE'S CONTENT ON THEIR BLOG
NO ONE HERE IS GOING TO BE WEIRDED OUT, IN FACT IT IS ENCOURAGED
THIS IDEA THAT SOCIALIZATION = BAD IS A TOXIC CAPITALISTIC TOOL DESIGNED BY HELLSITES LIKE TWITTER TO LEACH MONEY AND GOODWILL FROM YOUR BODY.
I honest to god have no idea why "ratioing" on twitter is bad, like the act of engagement is considered a bad thing as if twitter were trying to encourage your toxic rage. oh wait that is exactly what twitter is doing. Twitter's entire business model is to encourage you to get outraged and to profit off of your rage induced engagement.
TUMBLR. DOES. NOT. HAVE. RATIOS.
REBLOGGING IS A GOOD THING HERE. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, AND HONESTLY MY MEMORY IS SO CRAP I FORGET Y'ALL RESPOND TO MY STUFF ANYWAYS.
All you need to do is change your profile pic and post something, and congratulations you now have a valid Tumblr citizenship.
also to you twitter users: you can't cancel people on tumblr. this is a website full of eccentric weirdos. We are so far away from the mainstream that tumblr struggles to find advertisers for this site.
At one point tumblr was very toxic, and the toxic tumblr people would eventually move to twitter during the porn ban. Twitter + the pandemic simply gave the toxic weirdos mainstream power to ruin people's lives.
politely fuck off with your toxic crap, no one here is afraid to call you out on your obvious bullshit like on twitter. We don't have anything to hide here and even if we did your impact means NOTHING here. If you try to make tumblr toxic again then you will not be welcomed here by the community. Behave.

Way to miss the whole point
Okay this is so dumb. Even Nolan expressed that his film was meant to be about the unintended consequences of scientific discoveries. This movie about a bomb that utterly reshaped the earth (for the worse in my opinion), is still a beautiful depiction of understanding and loving physics, but obviously has to veer on the cautionary side. The equivalent of this would expecting a movie about a murderous bioweapon to somehow inspire students to take up biology.
That's not why ANYONE should love their disciplines, but I guess the two in house geniuses of Twitter disagree.

If Twitter can make up stuff to be mad about with chiligate and neighbors irl bringing food over, then WE can make up homoerotic problematic movies to be weird about. this is our right. we can get weirder.

Elon Musk's Twitter and Twitter Blue is so bad that even the diaper fetishists are coming out publically and be like "nope not our guy."

I’m loving this so much. I almost hope Musk DOES try and call it ‘X Japan’. GACKT chiming in makes it all the funnier.

If you have to willingly go out of your way to dig up problematic material on a person, some of which has been apologized for and given context, and are completely unwilling to understand how people outside the US/UK regard problematic content (example: not being aware of certain slurs or their significance) then I genuinely don’t believe you care about the issue but are trying to tear down an individual to look better
