Drivers leaving home at a young age to pursue karting then ultimately F1 and some of them (esp non-European drivers) don't get to travel with parents or guardians- it's an accepted fact of motorsport. But then I remember that interview where Daniel said he was 17 and a million miles away from home and all he had was a copy of The Castle, an Australian movie, and he'd watch it incessantly beacuse he was afraid of losing his accent and there was no one around to talk to... reminds me of that one James Agee quote about clinging to home because in the absence of home the vastness of the world might mean we don't exist at all

Nike (2006) Banned Bausch & Lomb UV-blocking Contact Lenses That Helped Athletes to See Fast Moving Objects.

a fucking groundbreaking thought...twinyards trivia night...

andrew has eidetic memory and aaron is a fucking nerd who seems like he would write "as a person with an unquenchable appetite for knowledge,," on his college application and wouldn't even need to lie about it.

so every tuesday evening they go downtown and find restaurants with trivia events and then they fucking dominate.

edit: i bet they're also friends with some of the old ladies who are regulars at certain restaurants they also frequently go to. the old ladies think they're very smart and handsome young men and ask for pictures of their boyfriend/girlfriend.

Anti-Trans Legislation Kills

[Digital illustration of a Black trans women wearing a dress made of words describing anti-trans legislation. Bills included are, “gender-affirming care bans, insurance coverage bans, drag bans, misgendering, uneducated medical professionals, youth sports bans, book bans, dead naming, stigma, and workplace discrimination.’ Text reads, ‘anti-trans legislation kills.’]

Yuri: ARE YOU-

Loid: Fucking.

Yuri: KIDDING ME?! YOU-

Loid: Fucking.

Yuri: IDIOT!

Franky: …What was that?

Loid: Yor banned Yuri from swearing, so I’m helping my brother in law out.

“Said she wants 5 guys.”

“She ain’t talking ‘bout burgers.”

As TERFs fall deeper down the transphobia hole they eventually loop around to a level of misogyny typically only seen in MRA pick-up manuals. They start out a bit concerned, and five months later they're shouting about how trans women need to be banned from chess bc AFAB brains are just not as smart as AMAB brains. They slide from "women can do anything men can!" to a level of "women are dainty and must be protected"ness that would make a tradwife blogger blush. They've successfully engineered the belief set of a Reddit incel with nothing but a parasocial relationship with JK Rowling, a incoherent urge to Own the Transes and a box of Tweets Xs

tras trying to claim something is a human rights violation against trans people when it also affects every other citizen is so funny like...yeah we know you're human too but how is that specifically about trans people come on now 😭

Can we please stop acting like intersex people are being caught in the crossfire and not actively targeted? They’re not being misidentified as trans or accidentally hurt, they’re an oppressed group that faces harm because they are intersex. It’s not a case of them getting looped in with trans people, it’s a case of people hating both trans people and intersex people.

One of my favorite things about learning a foreign language is the weird hobbies and interests you pick up because of it

What’s one hobby or interest you picked up because of your target language? I’ve been interested in ban ei racing lately

😡

cs55 fans calling this race “an absolute masterclass” like damn i knew your standards were low, just didn’t think they were mariana trench low

The thing I still do not understand about this whole movie debacle is why they did not choose to do the filming during free practice..like ok, if you absolutely must suck musty geriatric abuser dick and doing something sensible like constructing the race scenes via CGI is out of the question, there are still ways to do it that don't involve putting a civilian in a race car in actual race conditions in a formation lap (and potentially with protesters on track too??). How did anyone greenlight this at all
