"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

I apologize.

Oh, Charles. The hubris. Honey. You had to know this was a possibility. Why would you tempt Apollo like that.

I love how we don't even need Apollo to be captioned, it's just "he's holding a dodgeball and looks Greek statue, of COURSE it's Apollo delivering the gift of prophecy unto unsuspecting tumblr users"

Absolute fucking trainwreck of a post

Oh gee I wonder why this is going around again

Today's pitch for Greater Boston podcast:

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you should listen to Greater Boston.

it amazes me how many tv channels in latinamerica depend on making a harry potter marathon once or twice a month to keep viewers.

Even my 30-50 yo mae co-workers often post in facebook about the current harry potter marathon on tv and everyone goes nuts with it

yeah! if tv channels keep doing it its because people are watching!

TRAs act as if harry potter is irrelevant now because they "cancelled" jk rowling but every time I go to Barnes & Noble (A book store for anyone unfamiliar) theres this MASSIVE display of harry potter merch in the kids section, the franchise is still alive and well

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “pwhl playoffs” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I think boston just swept Montreal and Minnesota reverse swept Toronto

My buddy pwhl tumblr pacing: no canadians are in the finals

Europe is still capitalist, imperial core etc etc, but the whole EU is just pushing forward into the future in a way the US isn't. High speed rail, re-pedestrianizing cities, both carbon reduction and local biodiversity. France banned Roundup nationwide last year, and told farmers "figure it out".

A professor at UC Davis summed it up to me: European governments are willing to accept slightly lower efficiency in order to protect cultural heritage, like regional varieties of crops and small town economies, whereas in the US it's all efficiency. The government is completely hands-off and has allowed the entire agricultural sector to consolidate into massive, massively profitable industrial farms and ranches. It's not just heirloom apple varieties, or farmers' markets - Wisconsin's famous cheese industry is currently being pushed out of business by huge California cow farms.

Feels like a settler mindset, as much as building wide streets with no shade in Arizona because we can just crank up the A/C and keep pumping water.

Working somewhere where making things better isn't completely hopeless was what got me looking at Europe. But I'm now trying to work in the international development space because I want to see the world, and flying to rural Peru or Kenya for job and then using my 6 weeks of paid vacation time to ride trains around Europe as a tourist sounds better then vice versa

feels like a related phenomenon to things like the recent tariffs on Chinese lithium and electric cars, levied - presumably - because our own automotive industry is shit and doesn't want to compete.

for all the problems in this country which date back centuries, 'complete unwillingness to innovate in an actually valuable way' is a very new one and I'm not sure what's at the heart of it. it's more than just a question of reactionary nonsense, because europe has plenty of reactionaries and - like you said - they're still doing something besides Accelerating Le Racisme. and it's more than just the capitalist class being greedy and shortsighted; their greed alone never stopped the private sector from developing genuinely innovative things in the past!

to me, more than anything else, it feels like a sort of... malicious apathy. a refusal to do anything good at all, because that would require expenditure and effort. an entirely tantrum-based economic and political strategy. in this regard it feels like something with the same roots as Brexit, a desire to say "fuck you" for its own sake rather than as part of a thought-out political ethos, even an evil one

This is maybe true of the federal government, but is extremely false on a local level. America has actually become very bad at building things because of local opposition abusing environmental review laws, such as rich homeowners blocking wind farms for destroying their views, or environmentalist groups ironically blocking solar panel farms.

It's most disastrous in housing markets, though, where landlords collude to artificially reduce the amount of homes available in a location to drive up the rent, often with the aid of some vaguely leftist-sounding "new apartments mean gentrification" propaganda to defend their attempts to keep rent high

i.e., this flier in New York City that says at only ~1,000 new units in the 3,450-unit building will be affordable housing in order to build support for killing the entire project such that 0 units of affordable housing get built.

To bring this back around to the EV tariffs, Biden passed the "Inflation Reduction Act", which despite the name was most a climate change bill that allocated hundreds of billions of dollars to building more electric battery and solar panel plants in the United States. It was a noteworthy bill because it was a mini-Green New Deal that got the federal government back into the business of industrial policy and dramatically increased factory construction spending.

(From Bloomberg)

And I'm sure when Biden signed it he was looking forward to spending the 2024 election season going to ribbon-cutting ceremonies at all these green technology factories creating thousands of new jobs that all just coincidentally happened to be in swing states by sheer chance wow what are the odds. Except he can't, because they're all fucking held up by local NIMBYs and none of them are open yet.

please, please unmute this.

Some crimes can never be forgiven

The heat's getting to him.

this is ALL this meme makes me think of bye

isn’t it fucking weird how women birth their own oppressors?

This is something I think about often. It’s so unfair that these subhuman demons are able to use our bodies to come into existence. Look how they repay us for birthing them. Rape, oppression, every kind of abuse in existence. It’s a total mindfuck and so completely devastating to think that the #1 killers of women, the creatures who pose a constant danger to the safety and lives of women and girls, were all nourished and brought into the world through a woman’s body. 

In no particular order, here are some random, unrelated facts that I know about fetuses and abortion option…

The sex of a fetus can be determined through blood tests at as early as 7 weeks!!!! This includes at home tests that can be ordered online without a doctor, but if you have access to healthcare, a doctor can run the blood test for you.

Medical abortion, aka the abortion pill, is proven to safely and effectively end a pregnancy up until 12 weeks (and still works longer into the second trimester for several weeks, however caution Should be taken in this case, and having a medical facility, ER, or standby practitioner close by for emergencies is important as 4-8% using this method in the second trimester will experience more severe bleeding than those using it earlier) and can be acquired from a health care provider, clinic such as planned parenthood, or from online health care providers and then sent in the mail to provide privacy and access to those who need it.

The sex of a fetus can also be determined through ultrasound as early as about 12 weeks and more accurately at 14 weeks or later.

In the US, depending on state, and in many other places where abortions are permitted and performed by healthcare providers or in healthcare clinics, abortions are typically permitted up until about 20-24 weeks…

Last but not least, a woman’s body is her own and she gets to decide what happens with it. Pro choice as in its none of your business why she chooses to continue or discontinue a pregnancy

the episode of derry girls where they're almost about to contact the vatican because they thought they saw a statue of saint mary crying but it was actually dog piss, but they keep up the lie because erin wants the priest to fall in love with her and michelle wants free pick 'n' mix. like who else is doing it like them I miss it so much
