I need to make a new pinned
"the early 2010s were better" no they weren't. "hey soul sister" was on the radio.
Interrupting Falin talk to bring you the scene that shows why Laios really great autistic representation and why Shuro is the worst. he's a well written character but I hate him
i love the phase "knock you into next week" because it implies that time travel can in fact be achieved with enough violence
Something about this is so genuine and funky. It feels so natural that if I heard the correct lyrics it wouldn't process as right in my brain. This man yelling about his green tea and watermelon sour patch kids fits so well with the live music playing in the background, the atmosphere, the whole situation. It's like some reverse slam poetry talking about how good life is and how the simple pleasures should be enjoyed. I'm in love with this tik tok.
old alt rock fans in the notes are like:
1) this slaps and actually sounds like a lot of the classics
2) if i went to a concert and they played this i wouldnt even question it. id be like FUCK yeah they were watermelon!!!
Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"
Imagine paying Columbia-amounts of money to be taught by someone with kindergarten-level art literacy. Like, motherfucker, the wholeass point of 4’33” is to emphasize how every performance of live music is inextricably linked to the ambient sounds of the context in which it is performed!!!!!!! Paying attention to and thinking about the context of the performance is the point of the song!!!! If the point was to hear birds chirping and people walking, John Cage would have fucking recorded that instead. Insisting that art is only good when contains good things and makes you feel good things is baby-level art criticism. How the fuck is this dude a professor.
Actually I’m not done going off yet. This pisses me off so much. How can you teach the humanities and be so obstinately ignorant? Like bruh, if the chanting outside makes you feel uncomfortable and upset, maybe you should take about four and a half minutes to contemplate why you feel that way. During that time, you might consider things such as: why are there students chanting? What are they protesting? Why do they feel so strongly about this issue that they’re willing to disrupt their lives to bring attention to it? Should I also feel as strongly? Should I be protesting with them? Is my desire for silence more important than the students’ desire for justice? Why do I find the noise they’re making more upsetting than the genocide they’re protesting?
Being like “loud noise make me angy 😠” is so fundamentally incurious and baby-brained it’s honestly unbelievable
No one is discrediting the student protests. I myself am a student who is partaking in largely student-coordinated protests, drives, campaigns… but I also understand that we are largely missing the point if coverage of these protests overshadows what they are actually protesting for—the atrocities committed on Palestinians every single day. As the western buzz around this genocide gets more and more coverage, the coverage of the genocide itself sharply declines. It’s true and I see it every single day. Things are not being reported with the precision and diligence with which they should be.
Btw as all that is happen, Biden coincidentally happens to sign off 26 BILLION DOLLARS to Israel. The Washington Post broke it like 12 hours ago, but I had to wade through several articles to learn that the president of the US has given Israel his blessing to continue brutally massacring Palestinians. Like I said—the buzz around this genocide is overshadowing the genocide itself. And I don’t find it a coincidence that this was done while everyone was outraged by all that’s been happening with the student protests. Every time there is a distraction, you can be certain both Israel and the US are upping their murderous agenda somehow.
The US military emitted 640 times as much CO2 as Taylor Swift last year
the entire US military. only 640x worse? holy fuck. the US military employs. more than 640 people. either this is wrong or taylor is on some next level shit
thx for checkin @d-i-r-k-s-t-r-i-d-e-r
i'll point out the US military still employs more than roughly 6000 people
The US military employs about 2.86 million people worldwide. That means they generated about 17 tonnes of emissions per person, a figure substantially smaller than Swift's alone
In fact, you might say that Taylor Swift has personally generated the emissions of 465 members of one of the world's largest polluters. I wouldn't say that remotely absolves her
Ohhh my God, the current VA for Foghorn Leghorn actually dubbed it.
The most important lesson you’ll eventually learn 🎓
doing something very epic rn
the singleplayer mode intro cutscene awkward silence is my favourite splatoon character
Based Habits (and unrelated things)
no but why was marcille picturing herself as the handsomest motherfucker alive in this imagine spot 💀
Even Biden supporters want this motherfucker gone like what are we doing here?
