fun stuff!

Do threats and punishments make people change their behaviour to the desired? Or does it make them prepare for the punishment? The answer will shock you.

can every writer and director in hollywood just get in a big big room and pinky promise to not release a movie about wwii for like 5 years. every summer we have to hear about a movie called Platoon about the untold story of one platoon who had to carry one mechanical part across occupied france and without it the allies would have lost the war. it stars every white actor in the UK

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary

i love seeing videos of ppl calling for mamdani like hes batman like “mr mamadani we need ac in the subway mr mamdani help us” and its extra funny bc so far hes been filling every request so its actually working …he got his own bat signal 😭

pirates of the caribbean is great because ted elliott & terry rossio were like “we want to do a supernatural spin on the pirate genre” and disney was like “no you're gonna make ride propaganda for our theme parks” and jack davenport was like “the studio has tricked me, classically trained jack davenport, into being here, so i'm going to portray this token brit antagonist as the most nuanced character in the whole franchise” and orlando bloom was like “i'm in a sandals resorts commercial!”

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

I love this post

The horse thinks as it scratches an itch

erika kirk being handed the golden opportunity to be the face of conservatives for the rest of her life and then fumbling it instantly by being genuinely unlikable and off-putting will always be funny to me almost as funny as remembering that charlie kirk got shot in the neck and died

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

i don’t get it youre supposed to talk at work and focus at the same time and youre supposed to be friendly and upbeat all the time but not distracted or off task and youre not even supposed to rip your own face off and leave it splayed across your desk either
