this changes everything oh my god

do you understand why it trips me out that people can drive 45 minutes and be in aNOTHER COUNTRY? I drive for 45 minutes and im like

a city over 

I live in “Italy” and took a day trip to go to “Austria” and “Germany”

 #it is literally impossible to leave texas #you will be in texas #FOREVER

Chums, that’s sweet, and all, but Australia just ate Texas for breakfast. 

If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you aren’t a city over, you’re just 45 minutes away from the city.

If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you may not even leave the cattle station.

If you drive for 45 minutes in Canada you may not even leave your driveway.

If I drive 45 minutes in the us I’m just at another mcdonalds

If I drive for 45 minutes in Northern Ireland I’m 10 minutes into the sea.

I can’t drive. 

Reblog if Black Lives Matter to you

Where are those woke white people at!?

The amount of notes this doesn’t have bothers me…

Tumblr has 30-50 million active users. Why does this not even have 1 million notes?

I have over three thousand followers and so far only two reblogged this I’m disappointed

✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿#BLM

fuckin lol

Another day, another politician that thinks Trump doing something they do means Trump should get all the criticism instead of realizing they’re both wrong

The difference here is that Trump spends tax payer money for his golfing and AOC spent her own paycheck on a video game to unwind. They literally aren’t the same thing at all

Right, where do you think that paycheck comes from?

Were you born this stupid or did you have to work at it?

Ok, just to be clear, do politicians get payed with tax money or not?

If you honestly think a government employee spending their own salary is functionally identical to charging leisure trips to your own golf courses to an expense account and billing the Secret Service for being there, just because they’re both paid for with taxpayer money, I can’t help you.

But what’s the difference in the end? They both paid for something with taxpayer money.

Okay. It’s very simple: When the government disburses money to its employees in the form of a salary, the transaction where the taxpayer is concerned is concluded. The taxpayer has paid the employee for services rendered. What that employee does with that salary after that isn’t the taxpayer’s business, since the taxpayer already got what they paid for.

To put it another way, you wouldn’t argue that Doris from the DMV is “spending taxpayer money” when she spends some of her salary on a pedicure and claim it’s the equivalent of a presidential golfing trip, or that a soldier buying a case of beer with his salary is a waste of tax money. Because you are paying them for the job they did.

In other words, it’s not fucking taxpayer money anymore.

It is, however, still taxpayer money when it is part of an account set aside for expenses incurred in the execution of one’s duties, and the President uses it to pay himself for taking vacations, and to pay himself again for the taxpayer-provided security detail.

And even if I were to play your stupid false equivalence game: At $300 per console and a game price of $59.99, AOC would have to buy 369,455 Nintendo Switches with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for each to reach the $133 million racked up by Trump’s golf trips. So even if you were to blubber about how it’s all a tragic loss of taxpayer money either way, there’s your fucking difference you goddamn moron.

We’re done here.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks for explaining. But please refrain from using insults.

All right, yeah, I got a bit heated; I honestly thought you were asking these questions in bad faith. And I’m sorry that you’re getting dog-piled.

Ah, no worries. You were the first one to actually explain my faults to me, so thanks again. And don’t worry about the dog-piling, it’ll die out pretty quick.

Y'all reblog this version instead

Do Your Fucking Research *Nicki Minaj Voice*

Wow… Lmao.

Some people threw white paint on it a few years back.

They want to be a victim so bad.

Fun Fact: That’s a statue of the fist which Joe Louis used to knock out Max Schmeling, Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in round twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.

Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad he’d lost the fight because the thought of  the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.

So maybe don’t refer to him as “Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer”…

Thank you for this additional info!

Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man

Imagine hating Nazis so much that when you get beaten up your response is “Good, now they can’t use me as a role model.”

Everyone should hate Nazis that much

How awesome does this sound though. You get infinite money and once a week you get to take a child to a candy store or toys or us or somewhere they love and buy them as much they want this would be fun given the kid wasn’t a brat.

There is no downside to this at all

This is the best, because it says A CHILD, not your child, so I could pick one of the really poor kids on the streets and go “Your life is going to change right now”, and I could buy everything their family might need, along with a house, a food supply, toys, clothes, and everything they never had the chance to have before. And the best thing is that I could do this with lots of children, and not just one. I could give a lot of children in need a full week of Christmas basically and maybe give them a chance to have a different life. That would be great.

Bless u ^ humanity still exists. 

Plus depending on how you define “child”, you could be helping highschool students who are struggling with application fines and even pay for college tuition, room and board, or books

Bless this post and you kind hearted people.

tbh anybody who didn’t see it like this is not to be trusted

   I haven’t seen anyone outside the oldies/beatles side of the classic rock fandom talking about the recent death of Little Richard and it makes me sad because he really was one of the main creators of Rock n Roll, especially the scream-singing style.

   Chuck Berry defined Rock n Roll guitar, Elvis did…something, but Little Richard was the one who started the rocker voice, the screaming, the yelling, the vocal intensity of the the style. Without his work we wouldn’t have hard rock, punk, metal, screamo, basically every “hardcore” singing style. He started singing loud and fast so that white cover artists, who often covered and “stole” the songs of black artists, couldn’t successfully copy his style. The origin of scream-singing is his defiance of being screwed over by the white system.

   The other thing he gave Rock n Roll was flamboyance, theatrics, glam. He was gay and, while closeted or struggling under societal homophobia for most of his career, still was openly flamboyant in both his music and personal style. This seeped into the genre of rock n roll itself, which has always been a little bit gay, a little bit colorful and high-voiced and on the opposite side of mainstream masculinity. His style was also a huge influence on the glam rockers.

   Rock n Roll isn’t very old. It’s only really existed for about 65 years. Little Richard lived through all of that. The Beatles named him as a huge influence. Jimi Hendrix used to play guitar for Little Richard’s band. Almost every classic rock band has a song that’s just a knockoff of “long tall sally” or another one of his songs. His influence became a part of Rock n Roll itself.

Kinda love the 2nd part of the tweet

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

I fucking love him

i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it 

He also jabs racists in the eye!

I love the justice grandpa of fists

okay so we all agree that scifi often draws parallels between space and the ocean, right? like, starships, and captains, and crew. right? well now consider:

Fun family story: when my aunt was marrying her wife everyone was really excited but also dreading it because my aunt is known for her insanely long speeches so everyone knew her vows would be like 9 hours long so when it came time for her to say her vows she had a shit ton of cue cards in her hands and even her wife started groaning and my aunt took a deep inhale and then unravelled all the cue cards which were taped together and they all just read ‘HOT DAMN’ in giant letters and those were my aunts vows.

And now since I officially have permission to use this photo

GET FUCKED

I was not ready

Me: *clicks video*  “The hell is all this abou-”

*whistling starts*

Me: 

I love this stupid fucking meme

I made this long-ish comic about my favorite urban legend. I remember hearing this story on camping trips as a kid and it always stuck with me.

This is one of my favorite short horror stories, It’s awesome to see it depicted this way!

I’m a simple woman, I hear the Pirates of the Caribbean music, I become gripped with the urge to don pirate garb and fight cursed skeletons upon the open sea

To folks arguing in notes whether this trend is “intentional” programming……. It literally doesn’t matter. It is a media trope for bad reasons and encourages a bad outlook in which a wildly dangerous and morally corropt character is sympathized with, which, in turn, results in people maybe more forgiving of matching behavior in real life. While you argue over whether it’s “really propaganda” it is objectively having the effect of propaganda… And it isn’t really far fetched anyway. The government has had movies greenlit many times that they hoped would affect their public image in a desirable way.

When I was called in for jury duty, one of the first things that was asked was something like “if we were holding the trial today, would you declare the defendant guilty?”.  I don’t remember the EXACT phrasing, but that was the general gist of it.

And around fifty percent of the potential jury pool raised their hands.  Like… we hadn’t even been told anything ABOUT the case besides the charges— evidence, testimony, etc—-but fully fifty percent of the people present were willing to just go, “yeah, the cops wouldn’t arrest this guy without some strong evidence, so he’s prolly guilty.”

We’re being programmed to abandon the whole ‘presume innocence’ stuff.
