I love that heidi klum, international super model and tv personality, was like “I’m going to be a worm for halloween” and went for the most horrifying hyper realistic version possible and was quoted saying (in said worm outfit) ‘I want to put a smile on peoples faces’. ma’am I am gagging but I love that for u

been reading a lot of conversations about space since the james webb images were released particularly wrt to light speed and the fact that we are technically "looking into the past" because the light that actually reaches us is millions or billions of years old, and so we only see these places as they were when the light left, not as they are right now. cool & fine & very interesting

but i just saw someone (shoutout sylverthewordsmyth in the tiktok comment section) reframe this as "the future can see us" and despite this being a natural and logical extrapolation from us seeing the past, it has shaken me to my core. if there's anybody to look at us from far away, millions and billions of years in the future, they would look at us and see... us. they would look and see the same planet we live on right now, with the same continents and oceans. and it will be already long gone but to them it will be as alive as it is to us right now, the same way we see still see stars that have already gone out. i have to lay down

alliances in death games actually drive me up the wall and onto the ceiling on all fours. despite the circumstances you allow yourself to trust someone so completely you place your life in their hands and take responsibility for theirs in return. you share everything you have and form an intimate bond built on the foundations of your very existence. perhaps you even briefly find hope and happiness where you thought it should be impossible. and then there's a gun to your head and the clock is ticking down and you have no time at all to choose whether to destroy them yourself or make them watch you die. there's a depthless cruelty to that, in a world where your autonomy has already been stripped away from you. the only acts of free will available to you condemn you no matter which way you turn.

congratulations to the person who tagged this as "among us" for snapping me out of whatever pretentious highschool english lit student kick i was on when i wrote this and making me laugh so hard i feel like i'm gonna puke

honestly, out of all the games that might have patch notes reading “fixed a Geneva convention violation”, Stardew Valley was not one I expected.

Lol?!?

This far from the first game to do so. This specific Geneva Conventions violation is so common in video games the Red Cross itself has had to tell the industry to knock it off.

My favorite part of it all is that it makes “Neopets violated the Geneva Conventions in the early 2000s” a completely true sentence.

i know it’s been said before but no book character will literally ever be as iconic as peeta “if it weren’t for the baby” mellark. like in book 1 when he confesses to having a crush on katniss on live televsion, that’s strategic. he knows he won’t win the games but he can help keep katniss safe and send her home and get district 12 a victor. but in book 2 he’s like “well we’re all gonna die and there’s no stopping the games so i’m just gonna fuck shit up and make every capitol official’s life a living hell for as long as i can” and then he does. nobody is doing it like him

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE APOLOGIZING FOR BECAUSE I’M COMPLETELY CONFUSED

The RNA vaccines approved for COVID-19 in the US both need to be distributed at extremely low temperatures. Like 40F lower than any other mass-distributed medicine.

It turns out the Dippin Dots company runs the only nationwide supply chain that’s ever operated at those temperatures. So all these big serious health orgs are consulting the expertise of, and even exploring renting equipment from, The Ice Cream of the Future™️.
