Max Verstappen's pole time in Q3 is the first driver ever to set a 250 km/h average lap in Albert Park's history (making it faster than spa)

he is just built different

i can't do this anymore. i can't. i can;t.

#big 'who are you; that you do not know your history?' moment to literally everyone who hasn't witnessed the sour patch cream cheese saga #when will they stop building palaces on the ruins of the city we were supposed to create together?#was the infinite world i offered you in the palm of my hand so unworthy that you had to destroy it to only create pale imitations later?#for me; one creation in rebuke of god was enough to satisfy the world for a lifetime #i should have known that you worshipped other gods than i

speaking of the Radium Girls...god, that story is enough to make a conspiracy theorist out of one, if one's not careful to remain levelheaded and make judgments based on reliable, peer-reviewed science

because like. yeah, corporations DO cover up the health dangers of their products for years on end. that's like a known thing they're quite fond of doing

heavy-metal dyes. radium. tobacco products. PFAs. the indoor tanning industry is STILL trying to argue that tanning beds don't give you cancer- I've read newspaper articles theorizing a link between UV and melanoma as far back as the 1940s, though I'm not sure the lack of coverage was corporation-related since tanning beds didn't exist yet and big holiday resorts had other draws besides sunbathing

I'm not going to go full "5G IS SATAN!!" or anything. the evidence of that, to my mind, is lacking; the evidence against it substantial (also some chucklefucks are selling definitely radioactive "anti 5G devices" so uh. that makes it pretty clear which the rational side is in that debate)

but you have to wonder- what could it be right now, without us knowing? what's the next radium?

#history #current events #radium girls #too much knowledge written in blood. you have to keep your wits about you and not fall prey to fearmongering #while still recognizing that you can't trust corporations to care about anything but their bottom line #anxiety

damn we really don't think enough about the major world events that crowley and aziraphale have witnessed on both ends. all the horrible things like wars, discrimination, natural disasters, genocide, etc. yes but also all the good: liberation, major political reforms, the invention of new genres and materials and technology and fields of study.

like oh my god. they were there for all the centuries that women had no rights at all and then they got to witness the suffragettes, the women writers and royals and inventors and activists. they got to witness the overturning of anti-lgbtq and racial segregation laws and the celebration of human rights and identities. they were there to witness international tragedies but also the solidarity from everyone all over the world rallying for peace for people they don't even know. they got to see humans create new forms of art and fashion and the printing press and electricity and poetry and and and coloured television and music and they got to see humans constantly find new ways to find connection and love and fun and passion and their own forms of expression.

like imagine being there for everything. how could you not love the world after seeing the fall and rise of humanity over and over again in every way shape and form for six thousand years. holy shit

#fearandhatred #fearandmeta #and they didn't just witness all this they got to KNOW people from all these times. shakespeare and da vinci and jane austen #and just random people on the street or working as doctors or baristas or shopkeepers like how many STORIES have they heard #imagine knowing intimately how the world has existed from the beginning of time #I'M FINE #it's just #like do you get it. do you get it #it's so incomprehensible #it's like in their heads is an incredibly massive and infinite history book with thousands of personal experiences and forgotten dynasties #like is this blowing anyone else's mind rn #i don't think this post is even about good omens anymore #good omens #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #good omens meta
