nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well

enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.

It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar

Some shots of the Wander Over Yonder pilot from 2011 where found on Reddit.

The pilot is just the episode "The Greatest" but with these desings.

Craig McCracken has mentioned that this version has a more more rubber hose desings than the finished designs.

Even those who are supposed to be on our side, namely Stonewall UK and Mermaids, have picked up a shovel to help dig the mass grave for trans youth in the UK to be buried in

The labour party joined hands with the tories to agree that, yes, trans people are too dumb to know for sure if they're trans or not until they are TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD. they have decided that any adult trans person under 25 is to be treated as a child when it comes to their own identity

BP did hire PR firm Ogilvy & Mather in 2004, and coined the term 'carbon footprint' as well as creating the 'carbon footprint calculator'. This gave the impression that climate change was primarily the fault of the individual consumers.

From a New York Times opinion piece on carbon footprint (via the Wayback Machine): 'In 2004, BP hired the public relations firm Ogilvy & Mather to improve its image, in part by conveying the message that consumers of oil and natural gas bear the responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions, not the producers of the oil and gas they use. The result was BP’s ingenious carbon footprint calculator, which allows individuals to calculate the carbon emissions that result from their activities.'

From a BBC Future article on 'how companies blame you for climate change': 'Similar criticisms have been levelled at terms like "carbon footprints" – which was first coined in a 2005 TV advert from BP. The advert appears to show members of the public being stopped in the street and asked what is "their carbon footprint".'

From an Irish Times on individualising blame: 'In 2004, it unveiled a "carbon footprint calculator", so that individuals could assess how much their daily activities were polluting the planet. The marketing campaign, led by Ogilvy & Mather, fostered the false idea that climate change was the fault of individuals rather than fossil fuel companies.'

How do Catalan people (more specifically independentists) feel about the Spanish Inquisition?

The Inquisition is seen as one of the worst horrors of the world's history. Most people don't know much about it, how it worked or what it did exactly, but they know that it's the symbol of religious extremism and how they used torture methods to persecute and force false confessions out of people who were dissident from the Catholic normative society for whatever reason. However, it's not a topic that comes up often, so most people don't think about it often at all. (I think it's more common in English-speaking countries because of Monty Python and their meme).

Fun fact: more people don't realise how recently the Inquisition ended. I made a post about the last man sentenced to death by the Inquisition, who was a Catalan teacher killed in 1826: you can read it here.
