I honestly dont get the hate directed at jojo siwa for her new song. I think she's still finding her feet as a more mature artist, and she'll (hopefully) improve over time. And I doubt the choreo was written by her, either. I've never been a huge fan of her, but I wish her the best for her future career

When young girls become famous and look innocent, their fans often can't cope when they grow up. I saw the same thing happen with Britney Spears. These kids grow up being controlled by adults who want to profit from them, and then at some point they try to find their own identity, and instead of celebrating that, people freak out. And of course, with JoJo, it's all exacerbated by being openly queer. I think she's incredible as a person, she's strong and brave and talented.

On top of all of that, JoJo's only 20 and has only been out for a couple of years. Imagine being a fresh-out-of-high-school baby gay all over again, but this time you're expected to turn your identity into public performance art. A lot of us felt like we had to represent the entire community while we were still figuring ourselves out; JoJo is getting that a hundredfold.

Given the circumstances, I'd say she's doing great.

We’re trying to re-create the scene of a crime.

It’s Jack’s “beep beep” that absolutely sends me every time, coming right after he calls Phyrne ‘the heavy artillery’. 

Love those last two tags! Someone else said that ‘beep beep’ revealed more about Jack’s character than 1000 lines of dialogue ever could and it’s so true. War, time and a failed marriage he seems to shoulder all the blame for has made Jack the serious man he claims to be, but the adventurous, playful boy that he was is still in there and watching that aspect of his personality shine through whenever he leans in to Phryne’s hijinks is one of the great joys of this ship.

I know I'm reblogging this again but I have to add my own two sense on the matter. Most other auto manufacturers have had the stuck accelerator problem in the past due to floor mats and they have all learned a very important lesson: if BOTH accelerator and break are all the way down, apply the breaks and cut the throttle.

And even then they also have it so mashing the start/stop button or pressing and holding it kills the car

From that one report of the cyber truck crashing even when the brake was pressed, it seems like Tesla has not done their research and may not even have a contingency in the code for this. So it's a hardware AND software problem

From what I understand, it's not so much a design flaw as a production flaw; they made a change in manufacturing. They used a different chemical for something at some stage and that's what caused the pedal cover to slip off.

This was a failure of process.

I assure you, every major manufacturer in the world is either in the process of examining their processes to make sure that this particular issue isn't going to affect them, or has already done so. (I'm willing to bet that, in most cases, the investigation consisted of confirming that they don't use the chemical in question, along with some kind of "...because we're not idiots" notation in corporatese.)

What a lot of people don't appreciate is that corporate bureaucracy exists for a reason. Bureaucracy is the corporate equivalent of legislation-- every layer of it was born in red ink. As someone who has managed software deployments in production environment on systems used by millions of people each day, let me tell you, every step in that process is necessary. Oh, sure, it might seem like a lot of rigamarole for a minor change, but the problem is that people are notoriously bad at judging what a minor change is. I have personally been frustrated by a two-hour process (preceded by a week of paperwork, meetings, and approvals) to make a change in production that I knew full well would have no impact that, in actuality, took seven seconds and didn't require the traffic routing, load testing, etc. And I was right, it went without a hitch. Then two days later I spent fourteen hours on a call where half the system was down and it turned out that someone made a very similar change, and didn't say anything the entire time because he honestly didn't see how what he did caused what happened. "It shouldn't have affected anything!" If he'd followed process, there would have been no impact at all.

These tech bros think that they can revolutionize an industry by "streamlining the process" when they don't understand that the existing processes are the streamline. Sure, if they'd taken a week to test the impact of the change in process, it would have cost them a week, but it's gonna take more than a week to collect the information necessary to find out how much money this cost them. It's not just the cost of the recall and repair, it's the immediate impact this is going to have on sales, the long-term impact on consumer confidence in the brand, and, of course, a stock chart that looks like this:

That is a bad chart. And it's not going to get better.

Oh, look.

ok I know this isn't really the point but am I the only person who is absolutely gobsmacked that Penny Arcade somehow STILL EXISTS???

voyager definitely had its issues with how it treated tuvok but it was so awesome how they decided to make their vulcan character one of the most kind and loving father figures in all of star trek. not only to his own kids but to so many of the other people around him who desperately needed that kind of person in their life. it’s such a good way of showing how the logic of vulcans does not come at the expense of love

Love this post & agree with all of it but I also feel like in addition to this, the fact that this is not 'just' a vulcan father shown to be loving and kind but specifically a Black vulcan father shown to be loving and kind is potentially very important as well

All of this, and what's amazing is that not a single one of Tuvok's kids are ever in the show. We never see him interact with a single one of them. We know he's a good father because of how he speaks about fatherhood and his children, and also how he interacts with other children, and even other adults who need guidance.
