Correcting a Chinese kid's English homework that another American got wrong on a Chinese app named after Mao Zedong's Little Red Book as part of a mass online temper tantrum to help save TikTok was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.
This might actually be the political fuck-up of the century. Our politicians are all 900 year old crypt keepers who probably turn off their computers by unplugging them from the wall. Were there a single synapse in their decrepit domes focused on something besides their next payday, they might have thought twice about challenging Millennials and Zoomers on the internet. I repeat, ON THE INTERNET. Oh to have the confidence of an octogenarian born into generational wealth.
Something I need people to understand is the "security threat" doesn't just stop at data. The mere act of normal Chinese and American citizens interacting scares the shit out of governments on both sides. I'm already seeing videos from folks here in the US talking about how shocked they were at the grocery hauls in China, and how much they could get with very little. Chinese people are watching Americans absolutely dog walk their own government and talk it for filth. People are having fun.
All rich people had to do was remember the deal. Americans are terrible people. If they had just paid folks enough to buy a house, an electric car, and a vacation once a year they'd sit in front of the TV in a docile fugue state while the wealthy shoved their boots up the ass of the global south. Now who knows what's going to happen. I just know it's a testament to how done with Mark Zuckerberg's ass people are that they're rather learn Mandarin than go back to Facebook.
I think 2025 is about to be a ride.
hi,
i am tempted to ask about you being "a fan of agriculture"
what do you mean by that?
Fantastic question that I’m happy to answer!
Short answer: I like food!
Long answer:
I truly believe that agriculture is one of the foundations of civilization and that being able to find ways to sustainably feed a community/population to the point that they can focus on building other aspects of the world around them (art, music, architecture, etc) is such an amazing thing we have managed to do.
Do I think agriculture industries anywhere in the world are perfect? No. Like medicine- agriculture is a #practice. It is constantly evolving with the world around it and that in itself is something to admire.
BUT I so deeply respect anyone who dedicates their life to raising crops and animals with such meticulous care. Especially when the work they do goes toward supporting communities that will never fully appreciate the scale, care, decisions, and work that goes into the balancing act of producing enough to make a living. And then to take that living they made and turn it immediately back to do it again??? Insane. Outstanding. And if you ask them why they do it??? Because someone has to. Despite being under constant scrutiny and having so much misinformation being spread by anyone and everyone (usually unintentionally but still) they just KEEP DOING IT?
And agriculture is so much on top of the actual growing of crops or livestock. There are endless opportunities for careers and connections to agriculture. Everyone is tied to it even if they have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch (a tragedy). If you ate food or put clothes on your body those things all came from agriculture.
Not to mention all of the intricacies of each specific agriculture and natural resources pathway/area. All full of people who are passionate about what they do and making sure they do it better than ever with even less resources.
*DEEP BREATH*
So anyway you could say I’m a casual fan.
Media so good, they (the forces of evil) are hiding the fanbase from you. Media so good, you thought you dreamed that shit up and it don't really exist. I'M KNOCKING ON THE DOOR (CLICKING THE TAGS) FOR FAN CONTENT AND THERE'S NADA. Come outside y'all, I wanna talk like a normal person. (I'm going to rock back and forth frantically to convey my feelings about these podcasts)
thinking about Sid Wright and how he was presented as this constant reminder of how fucked up the world of the silt verses was and I was fully prepared to just watch him die and be replaced as a testament to that just being how the world works and instead he was seamlessly incorporated as a major plot point and changed the world forever. It was such an unexpected reveal but it was done in a way that made perfect sense.

can you imagine how freaky shark mermaids would be like unlike sharks, shark mermaids would have actual arms/hands and could rely on touching things with their hands to see if they’re prey rather than having to bite like sharks do. like youre just swimming in the ocean and suddenly you feel a strong grip on your leg, you freak the FUCK out because uh what????? the fuck??? youre swimming alone in the ocean??
a head pops out of the water, dorsal fin pointed from its back and it just points at you and says in a low whisper: “i thought you were a seal. please dont swim alone like this, im sorry i scared you i just wanted to see what you are” and then disappears back into the depth. what the fuck.
