tumblr?? in the year of your lord 2k23???

I get real "I'm at soup" vibes from some media crit

"All YA books are about vampires" you are looking at the supernatural romance shelf in a WHSmith. "All hip hop is misogynistic" have you considered listening to a female rapper. "All classic books are boring stories about straight white men" you are reading classic books by straight white men. "OFMD was the first time I saw a gay person on television" I don't even know how this happened but it's on you

while I don't agree with censorship, listening to transphobes cry about the Crocodile Dundee (1986) 4K release having 2 minutes cut out from it because the character groped a drag queen in a bar and some extra in the bar said "f****t", and another scene where he gropes another woman because he was "just making sure" only makes me wanna buy the 4K releases of the first and second film (1988) even more. even the character's actor agreed to have the two minutes removed too.

we need more divorcebaiting. how strongly can canon imply (without technically outright stating) that these two characters are bitterly, acrimoniously divorced? essential we explore this

please note that this relates to but is distinct from a separate trope we also need more of: These Two Characters Definitely Had An Ill-Advised Hook Up At Some Undisclosed Point, And Are Living In The Weird Aftermath

I was about to be irritated at a shitty "kids' education" website on 1770s clothing but then I learned that there's a staymaker buried at King's Chapel and now I'm just delighted to know the gravesite of a clothing worker from that era and I want to take him flowers

things he supported: -sedition -titties

why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?

Fun fact: they did leave Pompeii! It's estimated that the population pre-eruption was something like 20,000, and the most likely number of dead in is in the range of 1,500-4,000. So most people just did leave Pompeii, it's just that not everyone left or could leave.

I'd have still left. the human body is capable of wonderful things in the face of danger

A lot of people died in the boats tho:/

I would have paddled away quickly

The scariest thing about pyroclastic flow is that if you can see it, no matter how far away it is, there is no possible way of surviving

I've done incredible things. I think you'd be surprised.

you should teach them

their brains became AEROSOLS IN THEIR SKULLS.

what?? no

correction, some of their brain cells turned to glass, unless you want to bitch about the Smithsonian's knowledge base. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mount-vesuvius-turned-mans-brain-cells-glass-180976073/

that just doesn't sound correct. they should verify this information

not only could I survive that, but I could do it a second time

What you seem to not understand is that when volcanoes erupt the way Mount Vesuvius did, your survival is dependant on whether or not you're close enough to a ship when it happens. It doesn't matter how smart you are, your IQ cannot outrun a catastrophic volcanic eruption. If you're going to criticize them for anything, it should be their decision to settle near an active volcano in the first place.

as was previously established, my large IQ can outrun many things, so I do not imagine a volcano would be that much more difficult

probably

Ok but like what about the dogs are you saying you wouldn’t go back for your dogs

why are the dogs in pompeii. there's a volcano there. they shouldn't be. not my dogs

it was a plinian eruption and they literally had two expert plinies to help them, and I could do it with zero, so they have no excuses

Iv never seen a hummingbird sit before lol

i wasn’t going to reblog until he sat 

ITS BACK

Somehow, it is one thing to know that people born after 9/11 are now adults, but it is another entirely to understand that there is a cohort of adults who don’t know who Monica Lewinsky is.

Yeaaaaah.

I've seen fake Monica tweets before so I double checked this one and I'm delighted to report that it's real

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she get famous for blowing the president? That's about as much as I was ever told about her

Yup. She was perfectly willing and able to walk away. She chose to take part. She's been riding that train ever since.

She was 22, he was 49, he was her boss AND HE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES. Come ON, I know the site that gets freaked out about a 27-year-old dating a 34-year-old can figure this out.
