okay but i cannot get over how funny it is. imagine if the Russians launched bombs back in the 60s and fucking John Wayne survived, 200-some years later he's still kicking and has become an actual gotdang cowboy like a real force to be reckoned with, a real wasteland legend. imagine you're a prewar ghoul somewhere else in the country and you hear about this. "John Wayne survived? The John Wayne from the movies? That John Wayne? You're kidding, he– no. No he is not a cowboy. No he's not going around dressed up like an honest to god– they didn't even– that's just for tv! WAIT AND HE'S GOOD AT IT? YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME SAY PSYCH RIGHT NOW I CANT–"

In 1988, ACT UP protested the FDA withholding HIV treatment due to requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked.

In 2024, trans activists protested promoters of an NHS-funded report requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked.

The AI tech bubble finally bursting is going to be both catastrophic and very funny.

I’m so sick of seeing videos and posts of a bunch of privileged college students who decided to make a geopolitical conflict their whole personality and who view college as a LARPing opportunity instead of fucking school. You just know they wouldn’t be screaming about this if they had any actual hobbies or any ideology besides what’s popular online and what pisses off their parents. It’s all about a radikewl aesthetic while affecting absolutely nothing in the real world. And now with Columbia University’s rabbi urging Jewish students to stay away from campus because it’s unsafe, what the fuck have these LARPers done other than harass Jews off campus instead of going to class in their “Gaza solidarity encampment” (AKA their excuse to skip class and not do assignments)? People in Gaza are still hungry and displaced, Hamas still has hostages, but don’t worry, guys! Students at Columbia are being antisemitic by praising 10/7 and cosplaying anarchy instead of going to class “for Palestine”!

They’re just insufferable, and their First Amendment rights don’t exempt them from the rest of us judging them for their actions

Pointing out that the Rapture as a concept is a little less than two hundred years old - it's originally from the 1833 - that really buries the lede on how recent it is. Bc the modern evangelical take on the Rapture is from a book published in 1970. That predicted the Rapture would happen no later than 1988.

#literally american evangelicism is SUCH a specific branch of christianity #(that imo is acc blasphemous and not even in the sexy way)

if you've ever used the London Underground you might have noticed that it often gets uncomfortably hot. the reason for this is actually that its builders dug too greedily & too deep and as a result the trains are very close to the fires of hell. hope that helps.

"Another devastating loss of an influential figure for Mordor. The nation has already been reeling from the death of the former King of Angmar, who had found safety in the land after his own home was attacked by forces led by a presumptive heir of Gondor looking to make a name for himself."

I just wanted to apologize to everyone, you know, if it seems like I’ve been a little snippier or combative or generally tightly wound for this last week or so. You see I gave up torture for lent

i love how cats use their little walnut brains to go, "hm. it appears mother is moving very quickly and carrying many things. i bet it would be very helpful if i got right in front of her feet. this will make everything work more smoothly and won't lead to mother almost launching herself down the stairs to avoid kicking me. i am so good at plans."

Every episode of supernatural I watch one of them is saying “we should Go and Hunt Monsters on The Road” and the other is saying “are you sure? What about that Recent Traumatic Event?” And then the first one goes “what would make me feel better is to Hunt, and Kill Monsters, on The Road”

The cass review is really revealing just how fucking scientifically illiterate people are

The entire thing is cherry picked, methodologically flawed, and is straight up pseudoscience in half its points. There's a huge lack of credible evidence and it ignores 98% of actual studies into the topic so they don't have to admit that medical transitioning is a positive thing

They didn't even consult any trans charities or trans people on this because they were "too biased" yet anti-trans hate groups could contribute

Yet despite all of this people are just accepting it with zero critical thinking skills because "it's a SCIENTIFIC STUDY!! So it MUST be true!!!"

If I submitted a report as poorly written and inaccurate as this at university I'd get failed immediately. This entire thing is fucking embarrassing
