“I’m going to drive through Appalachia, should I be scared of the inbred hill folk and the cryptids? 😱😱😱😱” no bitch, be scared of sliding off a mountain into a valley and not being found for months or years.

they’re going to be insinuating Bigfoot got you in YouTube docs while your Ford Taurus is upside down at the bottom of a mountain

The Western US has guard rails everywhere they could possibly be needed, but in Appalachia, guard rails are for sissies

I think a lot of us would like to have guard rails. It’s not a matter of pride but a matter of infamously shitty and neglected civil infrastructure in Appalachia as a product of local corruption and perpetual state underfunding.

In 1977, the mayor of Vulcan West Virginia wrote to the Soviet Union and East Germany requesting foreign aid to replace the only bridge leading into town, an old swinging footbridge that had collapsed. This was the final straw that forced the West Virginia Legislature to cough up $1.3 million dollars to replace the bridge. Not the fact residents had been fording the river or using unsecured crossings to get to their homes for two years, the bad press generated by a Soviet journalist visiting the area to assess the situation.

It’s been almost 50 years since that and to be honest not much has changed. A lot of the bridges that would have been considered unsound at that time are still up and being driven over everyday.

Driving on poorly maintained roads over flat land is scary enough but driving on a poorly maintained, cracked, potholed, far too narrow road up the side of a mountain with a sheer drop and no guard rail is enough to give anyone a panic attack. Driving over 125+ year old, narrow, rusty one lane bridges that span rushing rocky rivers is something you SHOULD be scared of in Appalachia.

just another ten million dollar bump in the police budget, please one more funding increase so we can create a real life counter-strike map based on the over-policed majority black neighborhoods we do no-knock raids in every week, just one final municipal service defunding, we just need to shut down the libraries earlier and fire half of our public school teachers, please the police need one final additional million dollar cash injection and they'll finally stop racially profiling minorities, i swear, one final billion dollar statewide cut to road maintenance and the police will stop throwing flashbangs into the cribs of sleeping infants

I love that Israeli PR video where there's supposedly an Iranian Shi'ite takeover of Paris and we all do bloodletting (Azadari) on the streets, even though bloodletting is like exclusively practiced by Shi'a Muslims in Pakistan and India

My second favourite is the implication that there's a Shi'ite takeover of Europe, which is also absolutely insane, because there has never been Shi'ite attacks on the West nor has there ever been a "global jihadist"-inspired Shi'a group

We make up like... 5-10% of the Muslim population. Come on

Third, who the hell cares about France?

I am really enjoying reading about the University of Wisconsin chancellor fired after the university discovered all the pornos he and his wife were making.

Generally when someone has a public sex scandal (or “scandal”) you get the standard “I am sorry. I regret it. It was a misjudgment on my part” but this guy is like “fuck you I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t violate conflict of interest clauses, you are violating my first amendment rights”

SEXY HEALTHY COOKING

I want to see this legal battle

We can’t do anything about hate speech but if there is consensual sexual activity involved!

I want the details about how this was discovered because it has a real “I saw the professor at the devil’s sacrament” “girl what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament 👀" vibe

I know this is funny haha to a lot of people but I need yall to really internalize that this is a gentle example of what happens to sex workers. This is a white man in his 50s who turned to sex work for fun and lost his professional career. Now imagine how fucked it is for disabled impoverished sex workers to advertise themselves in a way that separates their identities and lives from their real ones because if they can't they're barred from most other jobs if ANYONE happens to find out. Aside from jobs, imagine how this affects custody battles and abuse cases and housing availability. Maybe it seems like everyone and their dog has an onlyfans and a pornhub channel and things are cool now, but we live under a christofash oligarchy and sex workers will always be trampled and spat on by most of society. This story is absurd but this isn't funny at all.

though this track was experimental to see if Eightyloid could sound ✨moe ✨ … it def didn't sound like the deep tone we know her for haha 🎱

FOR COMPARISON: this is how 80 sounds on this track normally without adjusting any parameters! 💖🧡🤍🖤
