Things That Make You Go Hmmm - Tumblr Posts
Brad never followed up with his boyfriend Chris to clarify who the men were. As everyone else, he left the framed photo on the bedroom dresser to fester with the rest of the pics of sorted family members, needy exes, and unaccounted male friends apparently all named Bruno.
Who can say…
Because I’ve been in the U.S., I’ve heard a lot of the discourse surrounding abortion rights and gun violence that has dominated the media there, particularly on the Left. This is a very strong example of where I feel that political pessimism has an intervention to make. To people who are mobilized around the issues of Roe v. Wade and gun violence, I would pose the following questions:
Why do you expect your government to behave justly?
Why do you expect your government to serve your interests?
Why do you expect your government to act based on scientific or philosophical consensus?
(Note that “Because that’s what I think that government should do” is not an adequate answer to these questions, and “Because that’s what governments do” is tautological.)
How would you act differently if, instead, you expected the following:
Your government will not act justly or unjustly, but rather according to a calculus in which justice plays absolutely no part;
Your government serves its own interests— the interests of its own self-propagation and the interests of its members;
Your government acts based on how it can secure the greatest power for itself and its members.
Would you act differently if you began with these basic assumptions about what government is and does? What is preventing you from beginning with these assumptions? Why have you internalized the belief that your government is striving for Justice, even when it punishes you?
I wonder if any silver haired mad scientists have anything to do with that hostage situation the paper is covering...

Shiiiit, I may be right on my theory about Brenner being on the run and Hopper looking for him. Between the locations Matthew Modine has been throwing on his accounts and David Harbour talking about Antarctica and Hopper being like Fletch...
The above twitter user claims to be an extra for Stranger Things. I’ve been following them for a while and though they seemed legit, I was hesitant to start posting Twitter rumors. The Hawkins Post image has, however, upped their credibility. So here are some of their hints/spoilers. Check out their feed for more, including behind the scenes set shots. And make of it what you will.
Alex Hirsch is fucking savage and I love it
I think about this a lot, actually. There are quite a few officers in the Gotei 13 that knew Isshin and/or Kaien; they were one of the noble families after all! And looking at Ichigo, you really can't deny that he is related to them. Just look at them!
Them genetics don't lie!
Then I remember Jushiro's reaction to seeing Ichigo for the first time and Byakuya essentially saying, "Absolutely not." vs later when he sees the Getsuga Tensho. He had to have been super suspicious by then. Why didn't he say anything? I don't know. But I have a hard time shaking that Byakuya definitely knew.
OP says silly, I say hmmm
wouldn't it be funny if during Ichigo and Byakuya's fight, they had this conversation?
ICHIGO: getsuga tensho!!!
BYAKUYA: Interesting power, this one. You wouldn't know a Shiba Isshin, right? He had the same ability. A former captain, went missing 20 years ago... And looking at you right now, you look so much like another dead Shiba that everyone misses...
ICHIGO: Nah... But my dad's called Isshin, though. Funny coincidence...
BYAKUYA: Yeah...

I just had a silly thought.
