Everyone likes fast cars, but why is it that when I propose a new class of police “super interceptors” powered by retired attack helicopter turbines as the new primary response to illegal street racing, in order to boost advancement in the automotive industry, I’m the bad guy??
When liberals Constantly use ‘45’, ‘head cheeto’, ‘drumpf’ etc to refer to trump….I’m just like “you know it isn’t like beetlejuice, right”
it’s just the liberal obummer
It’s exactly as stupid as obummer was. Or for that matter however people made fun of Bush. Or for that matter writing “Micro$oft” with a dollar sign.
It’s such a disgraceful way to refer to our first Meme-American President!
They need to have some cultural respect instead of just dismissing him over his unusually-saturated skin color!
Following final victory of the Good Feminist People in the Great Gamer War, the old archetype of Man has been abolished.
Seeking to end sexual oppression, and empowered by novel tissue engineering techniques, the possession of a penis is limited to only those who can prove they are sufficiently Woke, enforced by a powerful licensing agency.
In practice, those with power in the corrupt government are those who can ensure their license remains in effect, no matter what crimes they commit. These same patterns of abuse are used to justify the licensing regime, while leaving social and financial power unexamined.
David Florence’s license has just been revoked.

Is there a name for the genre of tumblr blog that posts interesting and detailed essays about (equally) interesting things but literally every other post is insufferable garbage?
the rationalists?
the fact hillary clinton has a children’s book is super creepy honestly
that’s political propaganda
it’s for children
how have i not seen anyone else freaking out about this
Probably because everyone’s too busy laughing and memeing about how awful and blatant it is
Don’t all political leaders in the US get children’s books? Like, I thought that shit was normal. Hillary’s is only noteworthy because it’s fucking awful.
I’ll be publishing my first children’s book soon. It’s mostly about Singapore.
It’s funny how much it’s possible to dissociate fascination with the conversation around a work from enjoyment of the work itself – to have one in pure form without the other. An example of this, with me, is James Bond.
I don’t actually like anything about James Bond. The franchise seems to mostly differ from completely generic action thrillers by starring a character who lacks the nobility, or the salt-of-the-earth gut appeal, of most action heroes – a cold, suave, cruel guy who’d normally be cast as the villain. I don’t watch many action movies to begin with, and this is even worse to me than the baseline.
But reading about the franchise is a wonderful aesthetic experience – it’s like I have a sixth sensory modality devoted to experience stuff like this. The different actors and eras, each having their/its own internal arc and relation to the others, the various takes on the character and their relation to the original novels (a whole other layer) … the amazing titles! It’s the kind of thing I wrote this about. On the rare occasions when I see a Bond movie, I don’t enjoy it much as a movie, and yet I enjoy it as a part of this other thing, this structure, this wonderful web.

I admit, I focused on doing time travel, not watching time travel, so I haven’t seen all of them. It was more of a one-time thing, too.
Actually my knowledge of late 20th century movies is pretty selective. It was all considered pretty bloody problematic at the time, for most of them.
Anyhow, it’s kinda complicated, but the third way is the most, uh, accurate, I guess? There’s like a 50-50 chance I’m being chased by the Temporal Enforcement Bureau, but eh, I can live with it.
cant believe a bunch of english kids go through a fuckin cupboard and find a magical kingdom full of wonder and they go “yeah we’re the royal family now”
typical english behaviour
I think what’s more creepily imperialistic is the reaction of everyone in Narnia to the Pevensies.
Like, the Pevensies end up the royal family in large part because everyone’s like ‘it has been prophesied that you will come and rule us and everything will be great!’ and, well, in-universe I can’t really fault them on that; if I were a young teen or pre-teen in a completely foreign country, I too would probably just go along with whatever seem to make people friendly to me.
But the reaction of the Narnians, in almost ubiquitously welcoming these foreigners as obviously destined to rule them even though they know nothing of the country and the culture… now that is some creepily imperialist writing.
This is the only good reblog of this post in it’s entire 3 year hellscape existence
if four foreign kids popped out of a magic box and deposed trump by the express wishes of god’s fursona, i’d crown ‘em. this winter already fuckin feels like it’s lasted 100 years.
I’M CACKLING
You’ll regret this, @roachpatrol, when it turns out those four foreign children from beyond our time and space were written by me.
ENTER the gourd cave, give him tribute.

This was supposed to be a surprise. :(
