Every Time I See Michael Collins I Have To Remind Myself That People Are Usually Talking About The Astronaut

people not seeing lottienat is so funny to me when lottie canonically spends her whole life desperately trying to keep nat alive and then when nat dies lottie immediately goes "right okay time to ragebait a teenager into killing me"

people who call him Mark Antony should be shot I think. he doesn’t work at the fucking Greggs down the street!!! he was a consul of Rome!!!

if you must shorten Marcus Antonius, then at least latinize it a bit! Make it Marc Antony! It looks so much better!

you know that farmed fish are like… not from the ocean, right? this is like saying that the billions of chickens we’ve got are a part of the environment.

you can’t have it both ways. either the problem is overfishing or the problem is industrial farming. not both.

Silicon Valley's Fish Killing Machine

There's a tech company called "Shinkei Systems" that created an "AI powered fish killing machine" (they're using an automated machine to do ike jime, a traditional Japanese slaughter technique where a fish is killed instantly via a knife to the brain). Here's a picture of their machine:

Isn't that metal box such a great way for a living creature to die? Shinkei systems claims this automated death machine is "more humane" than error prone humans, who of course, sometimes miss the mark when severing a fish's brain from its spinal cord.

If the idea of automated animal slaughter doesn't freak you out enough, take a look at their promotional material where they promise to "eliminate 85% of the workforce" wherever their machine is used.

And just to wrap this story up in a bow, the founder is a guy named Saif Khawaja who retweets a lot about "DNA based IQ testing" and other race-science nonsense:

So yeah....a tech company run by a race obsessed skull-measurer decided the most pressing issue facing the world was not enough cheap sushi-grade salmon. The solution, of course, isn't to allow the ocean's depleted fisheries to regain their natural levels by reducing commercial fishing, it's to make a robot that can kill fish in a fancy Japanese way so people who eat industrialy farmed animals can feel less bad about it. And why not put a bunch of fishermen out of work while you're at it? The solution to our ever alienated world is clearly removing any human contact in the food supply and ceding that role to a machine. Clearly, the faster we can kill animals the better; perhaps we can kill them quickly before any concerns about the rapid destruction of the earth's aquatic ecosystems arise out of our collective haunted consciousness.

most tolerant and progressive Russian lmao

yourhelenwolf is posting revolution stuff again, so for those who are new and haven’t experienced interaction with her, she is a homophobic bigot who thinks we are personally responsible for people not taking robespierre’s legacy seriously because of our degenerate ways. she gets incredibly creepy and stalks and harasses artists to accuse them of copying her, so block and don’t interact with her if you’d rather not deal with that.

note: i am not saying she is homophobic because she doesn’t think these men experienced same sex attraction. i am saying she’s homophobic because of the way she talks about homosexuality with disgust and calls it perversion and moral corruption.

if any one wants to add on their experiences with her to the post, feel free. some of this harassment happened on other platforms, so i’m sure that there’s a lot i don’t know about.

i’m putting the screencaps under a cut to save everyone the scrolling.

he wouldn’t be called “Umaril the Unfeathered” unless everyone else *was* feathered, now would he?…

I kind of wish the Ayleids weren't just elves that used feathers a lot culturally, it would be badass if they were actually feathered. Cyrodiil probably had an ancient race of birdfolk right, and I like the idea that rather than them dying out to the Khajiit early on or simply vanishing, they instead had some interbreeding with the first Ayleids. Elves with feathers, talons, and all that shit would be rad as fuck.

save a horse ride a cowgirl

I really wish the internet would stop promoting oppression.

Religion is the enemy. Religion should always be the enemy. This is not cool or fun. This is a deeply indoctrinated and abused woman.

there has always been one state that is more powerful than the others. there always will be. we are currently living through a period where that state is mostly good and we should be happy about it.

as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.

we should not be licking the ideological boots of a political system that gives zero shits about any of us, we should be dismantling it and replacing it with something that does. if trans existence is a threat to this country, then GOOD. I'm fucking proud of that. and you should be too.

watching the empire strikes back again and wow. yoda really is a scrungly little guy.

“[Orcs] are just regular people with extreme cultural norms” yeah like. Women being property. And hating every other race. Like their entire religion and culture is based around those two ideas.

Come to think of it, I believe Orsimer are the only race in Tamriel where the sexes are not inherently equal.

so yeah, no, they’re just evil actually.

Man I know that elder scrolls is a stupid series and all that but I really think they did concepts like orcs and dark elves mostly correct. More correct than a lot of franchises I’ve seen anyways.
