one thing i really enjoy is when shows and movies use actual real life news broadcasters and interviewers when they need to do a news scene or a talk show scene or something bc 1) it adds and little bit of realism and authenticity to the show/film and 2) you just know said news broadcasters/interviewers probably had So much fun getting to report on fake news or interviewing fake celebrities like how often as an adult do you get to play pretend like that in your real job askdljfh

bonus:

my favorite part of secret invasion is when in 1ep maria revealed that she has a gf and in 2ep it was their wedding!! y’all also loved this, right? it was so nice of marvel to do this finally!!

What we have learned from Minecraft roleplaying these last three-four years (yes it's been that long):

If somebody wants to run for presidency, no they don't.

If somebody says you need a government, no you don't.

If somebody wants to stage a revolution, no they don't.

If that somebody is the same person, no they weren't.

You don't need politics in Minecraft for the love of god-when has it ever ended well??

Ok I get that you hate voting and fine fair. But would you stand by and do nothing in the trolley problem? How would that help anything. I just see you attach this element of approval to the act of voting, that just... isn't really there.

I'm not voting for someone supporting genocide hope that helps

its so depressing that sm ppl r ok w just settling for the current status quo of both US party leads being genocidal maniacs, but at least one does it slower domestically 😌🫶 help!!!!!!!!

i do think vriska winning it all would revitalize tumblr culture in a terrible way. in equal measure to how cecil's win revitalized positive fun 2012-2013 fandom posting. the vriscourse resurrection can and will make the site unusable and unbelievably fucking toxic All Over Again. this will be extremely irritating to me but in being extremely irritating it will also continue to serve vriska's metatextual purpose of just being kind of annoying and wasting everyone's time, which i think would be hilarious and good. everyone who ever worked on homestuck and everyone who ever read it as it updated and everyone who ever wrote contemporary fic will be gone and dust in 150 years and high schoolers with a dialect we can only barely parse will still be arguing and flipping tables over. fucking vriska. because of course they will.

that's kind of incredible. that's kind of beautiful.

thinking about oliver francis reeder phd director of communications to the opposition again

It’d be really cool if this election spawned an Adventure Time renaissance like the sexyman one did for Night Vale, but it’s pretty clear that the only reason Marcy won was because she got caught in the crossfire of a Homestuck civil war

Beginning to really wonder how much of my financial concern is manufactured and handed to me as opposed to something I'm genuinely concerned by

Uh so Italys probably gonna get a facist pm who used to praise Mussolini?

Looks like Jensen can’t Casbait his way out of this one lads

given the house situation rn. I never want to hear anything about "nobody wants to work" ever again

Labour want to bring back ASBOs!!!!! How funny!!!!!

everyday on this site somebody reblogs a post made by somebody younger than them and acts as if the younger person is some kind of fresh faced idiot who doesn’t know what they’re talking about without knowing that person at all. why is it always ‘respect your elders’ and never ‘stop being a cunt to younger people’

jAMILA i miss you and i hope you are doing okay. i was going to be like 'update us on everything that is going on in your life!' but don't actually want to put that kind of pressure on you! but i want you to know that i love you and i miss you and you are unforgettable! and i hope things are going ok

steph HI! 💖💖 gosh, life has been super overwhelming for the last few months like it has just been a lot every day. i love you too and missed you 😭 i've wanted to come on and say hi to people and give a bit of an update but i just haven't had time or energy!! I've been on grandparent duty anytime i'm not at work for the last 6 weeks, while my mum worked insane hours during our election, so anytime i'm not taking care of them i've been in bed watching shows before i fall asleep.

the chart toppers are that we're STILL waiting for our insurance to send an assessor after the downstairs flooding from march. also my grandparents' aged care provider hasn't come and fixed anything they said they would in march. nonna went to hospital for a week purely because we couldn't get a doctor to come out and listen to her chest, it was the only way we could get a doctor to give her a check up and then they wanted to keep her there even though they're so understaffed they didn't even have time to care for her while she was there. it was just a week of not being able to see her (bc of sensible hospital visiting limitations) for no reason. our cat Seppe has been missing for a month, i think he's just wandered up the mountain where there's lots of exciting nature but when he first disappeared we didn't even have time to go look for him (we put up flyers like a week later). i finally arranged for my wardrobe to be refitted (it was all 50 year old chip board inside) and i thought i could finally tick something off the list but the guy made a mistake so now i'm waiting for them to come back and fix it. also this is dumb but i have to let our grandparents' carers in at 7:30 every morning bc of delayed aged care provider repairs to our external stairs which isn't much but everything else is already so much do i also need to start every day by being face to face with a stranger at my most undignified 😩 also i still really miss my work friend who left in march, i've spoken to her a couple of times since but haven't had any time to catch up with her properly. I'm still doing all her work, i can't tell if being at work or being at home is more work atm lol, i'm just trying to get through each day. mum's work schedule is going to go back to normal in a week so things might feel a little easier soon?? maybe??

Don't let the democrats throw up their hands and say that it's all the republicans fault and we need to vote to prevent worse things from happening.

1. The democrats had 50 years to make safe abortion access a federal law.

2. Democrats do have the ability to impeach court justices.

3. They also have the ability to make abortion the law of the land right now as in before the next election cycle they could pass a law making it a federal law that safe and legal access to abortions, contraception, and gay marriage is available in all 50 states.

So if they're wringing their hands and saying they can't do anything that's a fucking lie.
