Reminder that Hell's Angels (and biker gangs in general) aren't cool

The book OP is reading is A Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, a book I re-read yearly and which I adore so much that I can recognise quotes on sight. I cannot recommend it enough. It taught me about heroes like Clair Patterson, the man who more-or-less single-handedly discovered that we had pumped the atmosphere full of elemental lead and devoted the rest of his life to combatting it, and villains like Thomas Midgley, the man who put it there (and CFCs too). It taught me about John Michell, the Black Yorkshire clergyman who presaged the next 150 years' worth of scientific discoveries and never thought to tell anyone about it. It taught me about the Michelson-Morley experiment, which turned scientific understanding on its head by proving conclusively that the "luminiferous ether", the supposed medium that filled space, did not exist.

It made me appreciate people who spend their lives on seemingly inane things like studying a single species of moss, or shaving nanoseconds off the start of the Big Bang.

A life dedicated to expanding knowledge is never wasted.

reading a textbook for class and i’m going insane. why is this just poetry. what. this is a STEM class what’s going on.

Demand more trans representation in cartoons so we no longer have to rely on Steven fucking Universe

Society has moved past the need for Steven Universe

I've got a bet going with someone that Musk is going to just straight up tweet the 14 Words by the end of this year, same energy

I love how just by the final two words of that sentence you can tell they're absolutely full of shit

Forever trying to figure out a plot for a fanfic called There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvish

things like this are why casting directors have letters after their names

Dungeon Meshi fancast dropped

If I can disavow Marilyn Manson and everything his music has meant to me over a lifetime then I guarantee you any Harry Potter fan still clinging to it is just a spineless coward

remember when jkr went full mask off and started acting evil and hp fans were like "ok we need to think carefully about the stuff we consume, how can we justify enjoying this series, how can we love it without supporting the author? should we try to separate art from artist or should we leave it be? isn't showing solidarity to trans folks more important? if we remain openly fans of this series will it show trans people we aren't safe or trustworthy?"

and then they decided that none of those questions really mattered and they continued to uncritically consume their stupid badly written children's books, and jkr has only gotten more nasty and hateful, and people only hate trans folks more, and now the answer to the last question is invariably YES. I don't trust any goddamn person who still loves Harry Potter in 2024 bc you've decided your nostalgia about a mediocre story written by a bigot is more valuable than the safety and wellbeing of trans people 🫶🖕

They. They forgor

Thinking the US election will have any but the most minor impact on the Forever War that is Israel vs everyone is the most egregious kind of American exceptionalism and really betrays a kind of fundamental over-importance that American leftists need to unlearn

I'm sorry, but I'm just too fucking old to pretend that the presidential ticket of "Person who performed some of the first gay marriages in her state while it was still federally illegal" and "governor who created a trans refuge state while other states were making it illegal to transition" is somehow 'jUsT aS bAd foR QuEer pEopLe' as the ticket promising to reverse marriage equality and make trans healthcare next to impossible.

That is such a monumentally stupid opinion that I'm going to have a hard time believing that you're actually that stupid, and I'll probably just assume you're malicious.

'Sblood is a minced oath (like darn for damn), short for "God's blood" which is unspeakably hardcore.

The "Strewth!" beloved of Aussies is the same, for "God's truth".

Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protesting…

Thank fuck, someone else agrees with me

People like this WANT to sound like they're funny, but they don't actually know how to construct a joke so they pick things that kind of fit the vibe they're going for without actually finessing them so they form a cohesive and coherent whole, thus utterly undermining the whole internal logic of the joke

tweets like this are my pet peeve. just throwing silly words together in a way that’s supposed to sound hyperspecific but does not in fact evoke anything recognizable

if i had money to burn I would totally get the drum and remake the scene where Neo wakes up from the Matrix, for the culture

Nothing makes me happier than watching Steph live her best life.

All skirt/dress wearers when we discover they have functional pockets 😍

As if this story couldn't get madder it doesn't even touch on the fact that the nurse in this case, Alex Wubbels, is a fucking former Olympic athlete

they could never make me trust cops

Christopher Lee's musical career

“Separating the art from the artist” but the artist is a wonderful person and the art’s a bit shit

the sexless lesbians who say every horny thought makes them "no better than a man" might kill me for this but regarding chappell roan's ass in the tight chainmail and thigh-high plate armor forming a pseudo-garterbelt situation, it needs to be said: AWOOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HUBBA HUBBA WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you acknowledge JK Rowling is a vicious, unrepentant, bullying bigot and that she has done immense harm to trans people and you've decided you can still bear to engage with Harry Potter in full knowledge and understanding of these facts then I don't have words for how much I loathe you as a person

You are a spineless, gutless, amoral coward who would sooner throw an entire nation of people under the bus than sacrifice the smallest iota of your comfort in exchange for righteousness

As much as I like the Phoenix Wright games I can't stop thinking about how they take place in an absolute dystopia where trials can only last three days because we've all got places to be and the judge can summarily rule against you if you fail his vibe check too many times
