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.

Girl photographed by Hugh Magnum c. 1909

Magnumโ€™s photographs are notable for their informality, which was unusual for the period. I just adore the series of this girl, sheโ€™s such a beauty.

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what Iโ€™m reading

Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abducteesโ€™ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I canโ€™t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge

My heart is breaking into a million pieces

Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.
