Seeing people decide to watch Breaking Bad based on the Tumblr memes is especially funny when they do it specifically for the memes about Jesse, because... well, let's put it this way. Aaron Paul, the guy who played Jesse, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for best supporting actor in a drama series for his work on Breaking Bad on five separate occasions, including twice in one season, and won three of those nominations. He was the first person ever to win that award three times for the same role. Like, Jesse's storyline is so viscerally unpleasant that it set industry records.

Jesse Pinkman is basically the prototypical Poor Little Meow Meow in that yes, he does objectively terrible things, but literally everything about his life seems calculated to maximise his suffering while he's doing it. It gets so bad that the show's producers ended up making an entire spin-off movie about Jesse in which he kills two men in order to obtain money to purchase a fake identity and go into exile in Alaska, and this is framed as his happy ending.

Watching people call a UFO photo from 1996 "AI", and then someone found a upload of it from 2008 proving it can't be AI & everyone treated that as tantamount to unedited and like

When Photoshop became big we had this wave of people just assuming photos pre-Photoshop had to be real, just forgetting photo editing already existed, and I guess now we have people starting to forget Photoshop exists, and attributing the dawn of fake photos to AI?

Like I was on a few forums devoted to debunking back in the day & a surprising number of people would look up if a photo existed before Photoshop, and post just that saying it's From Before Photoshop, as if it that alone was exonerating and people don't fake photos all the time pre-digital. Or even post-digital, as you could fake photos on computers before Photoshop, as this helpful documentary from 1986 shows

And now, I guess, the halcyon days before fake photos have shifted up to...2022? And people are just assuming it's AI, and when it's proved it can't be moving on like that answers that, the way they used to with Photoshop

we kill the bat man

the current trend of "tumblr users embarrassing themselves by proudly announcing why they don't listen to any music made by black people" is really astounding.

i cannot help but think this is a direct result of liberal White Guilt and how people have interpreted "anti-racism" as form of cultural self-segregation - the kind of person who thinks trying to cook chicken curry is cultural appropriation, or sends white people anon hate for wearing a kimono (yes, this kind of discourse happened). like, "oh, no, i could never participate in this culture, i'd get my evil white hands all over it! it would be more Progressive if I only did White things."

if you're a poc you've seen this, i'm sure - this deer-in-the-headlights stare you can get from white people when you play music / show art / share a story / anything that is Racially Coded, this total refusal to actually engage with it out of fear that it is in some way Wrong for them to have any opinion on it. because they read somewhere that it's bad to use AAVE but the only lesson they actually learned from that is "gotcha, white people are not allowed to interact with other cultures as punishment for my White Crimes. this helps to fill up the gaping pit of my white guilt and makes me one of the Good People." this transforms their discomfort around non-white cultures (black culture, especially, i should add) into a kind of virtue

anyway if you are white and reading this. go listen to some fucking haliu mergia. ethiopian jazz. will knock your dick right off. go listen to rap or reggae or bollywood and have a genuine reaction to it - like, an actual, from-the-heart reaction. you are allowed to not like some of it. but you will definitely like at least a little. yes, you can compare it to lemon demon (or whatever) if that helps you get into it and that's your only point of reference. maybe don't say that part out loud. but don't, like, separate yourself from it, like you are seeing it in a museum and the only polite thing to do is go "ahh, huh, very interesting, so much culture here."

it’s so crazy how many mid movies r made every year that u wouldve never learned abt if ur mutual didnt want to fuck an actor that plays in them

hello fandom artist. in front of you is a male character widely interpreted as transmasculine because of his vaguely gnc features. your task is to draw him next to a cis man without feminising him beyond recognition. if you fail you will be beaten to death with hammers. your time starts now

I found out japanese fans are calling this the "american comic book-style marcille"

i'm WHEEZING LMAO

Instead of watching Eurovision this year…

maybe I can interest you in Hataris Documentary named „A song called hate“.

It features 2019s Icelandic contestants „Hatari“ on their journey to protest against the treatment of Palestinians in Isreal, using Eurovision as a stage to share an important message.

In their documentary, they shed light on what „Hatari“ is, their intentions and ways to support Palestinians, their experiences in Israel, their interviews of Palestinian civilians and artists and what followed after they raised the Palestinian flag during Eurovision in Israel.

Famously known as this scene:
