I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery
The United States has always been a slave state. It's just shifted in how "obvious" it is to people who don't look.
If you look in the US, you'll find slavery.

I have been telling people for years that the company behind Pokemon Go had no-shit, for-realsies ties to the CIA and people never really took it that seriously. Anyway.
prev tags is a good tl;dr of what scanning means
So I don't play Pokémon Go anymore bc I got bored of it but I've had it clarified for me that "Scopely, in the year since acquiring Pokemon Go, stopped the AR scanning tasks and removed them from the game. Players are not adding to the database, that's already been sold."
(That's a quote from someone who still plays and knows the ins and outs of what's going on.)
So, yes that happened but a new company now runs the game and it is not still happening.
Responding to conservative backlash over a large selection of offerings for the month of June, Target announced Friday that they would scale back their gay pride section to a single t-shirt, saying they’d do a threesome with a girl for their boyfriend’s birthday. “It’s a one-night-only thing, and we’ll both do stuff to him—nothing to each other,” reads the bright, graphic t-shirt in large rainbow block letters, the detailed rules of the encounter continuing in smaller letters onto the back, which Target representatives called “the perfect compromise to make everyone happy.”

i deserve a medal for this post. not because i was particularly funny but because i survived an onslaught of nearly one hundred gimmick blogs in the wake of this post popping off, and the fact that i didn’t try to track any of them down and snuff them out with my bare hands is a testament to my immeasurable strength and should be rewarded. at one point i had “the official letter h” add on to this post. you wanna know that blog’s gimmick? the really funny and original and worthwhile gimmick the official letter h blog had? yep you guessed it they just gave me the god damned letter H and then fucked off. only jesus knows the suffering i endured over that harsh winter, and he wept for me
Netflix's "The Dinosaurs"
alright I finally got around to watching netflix's "The Dinosaurs"
(Don't become a paleontologist kids, it turns watching dinosaur related things from "fun" into "work")
THINGS DONE WELL
Birds are treated as full dinosaurs throughout
Emphasizing that dinosaurs had complex behaviors and social structures
Plenty of fluffy dinosaurs present
Most of the reconstructions are fantastic
KPg presented as tragedy and not inevitable
The ending showing all the different dinosaur behavior juxtaposed with modern dinosaurs doing that behavior is glorious, ESPECIALLY because it wasn't just theropods
THINGS DONE... NOT AS I WOULD DO THEM
the only named titanosaur is the smallest one??? what are we doing
For that matter, please just name the dinosaurs. I promise, audiences aren't allergic to names. I promise.
stop acting like the Jurassic was the time of giant dinosaurs when EVERY "BIGGEST" DINOSAUR WE KNOW IS FROM THE CRETACEOUS
I'd make more of the mid-sized theropods fluffy or at least have some decorative floof
I'd have more of the stepwise process of the evolution of birds as we go straight from early Jurassic dinos to Anchiornis, including showing how complex feathers evolved for display and communication before flight
can we PLEASE stop using the Kpg for TraumaPorn, I'm not kidding, I'm sick of watching dinosaurs die horrible horrible agonizing deaths for twenty minutes at a time
WE KNOW BIRDS ARE DINOSAURS. they were PRESENTED as dinosaurs THROUGHOUT. the "Gotcha! they didn't all go extinct!" thing at the end doesn't MAKE ANY SENSE when we ALREADY KNOW
also acting like its a Tuatara situation - implying just a small remnant is holding out - when birds cover the entire planet and outnumber mammals a significant amount is... a Choice. (It's a bad choice)
STOP ENDING DINOSAUR DOCUMENTARIES AT THE KPG WHEN WE KNOW THAT ISN"T THE END OF THE STORY
THINGS THAT ARE JUST PLAIN WRONG WTF
what the actual eff was the Spinosaurus sequence
MOST carnivores engage in opportunistic cannibalism. that doesn't make them "a cannibal" and it doesn't make them special, either, because most do it.
I did see quite a few somewhat pronated hands
Dinosaurs were either straight up endothermic or gigantothermic. they could handle snow. they DID handle snow. why do we keep acting like they died the minute cold water touches their skin. we don't have a lot of evidence of titanosaur migration because cold. what is this.
Why is Alamosaurus with Edmontosaurus. If they aren't Alamosaurus, why are we just making up titanosaurs for fun. Like I know they almost overlap but the emphasis is decidedly on ALMOST
hateg island in the non-latest cretaceous segment because...????
anchiornis could probably fly. the gliding stuff is almost certainly dead in the water.
In short, I liked it a lot, but I did yell at the screen frequently too, so what can you do
I just want a "story of the dinosaurs" docuseries that COVERS THE CENOZOIC. I think we've gotten enough out of the "violent end" narrative and we have plenty of documentaries that just cover the mesozoic. make the madness stop. no, we don't have to ignore the extinction, but that doesn't mean we can't do "There was a tragedy... nonetheless dinosaurs rose from the ashes..."
like yes, it's a surprise to HUMANS that dinosaurs are still around. you know who isn't surprised?
THE TWENTY THOUSAND (probable) SPECIES OF DINOSAURS THAT COVER EVERY CORNER OF THE PLANET
THEY KNOW. ITS NOT A SHOCK. WE WERE JUST STUPID.
anthropocentrism will actually be the death of me
Anyways, check it out. Just remember Spinosaurus probably wasn't... That.

I am curious about the "ghosting" thing Johnny has with his girlfriends. "The guy who loves women doesn't spend his free time with them" or "seems to run away from them?" Do you have your guesses/theories on why this is so frequent for him? I'm guessing this has happened over the span of many decades, if not how it's always been. My first guess was "maybe they didn't want to show their teenage hero being too out there in the 60s" but that's just not it either, is it? He dated most people after that
sorry, anon, I fucked up and deleted the initial answer to this ask, but luckily I was writing in a doc, so let's try this again.
So for me, this is where "Johnny is in the closet" holds a lot of merit, even separate from the word of author (Marjorie Liu) confirmation that he had a sexual relationship with a man. You can't make gay jokes in the text about a character for years and years without it getting a little, like, is that what we're doing here. The "light in the asbestos loafers" comment, Julie Angel's "with my luck, he's probably gay -- oh, hi, Johnny!" line, Kat Farrell asking if he hooked up with Eminem, Ben commenting about his crush on Spider-Man, a villain literally named Makhizmo calling him "an effeminate -- these are all things that happened in canon. So for me, when you combine that with the less than stellar dating history here, I'm kind of like -- the homophobic dog meme factors in.
(FF #251) John Byrne when I catch you.
(Before anyone sends me hate mail about it again, I've gone back and forth on how I think about Johnny's sexuality over the years, whether he's gay or bi, and I'm not saying I don't think he's bisexual, but I think there's a strong reading of the canon that he prefers men. Anyway, none of it matters because Marvel doesn't acknowledge him as anything other than straight at the time of this post. I will break out the I Do Not Control How People Label the Human Torch's Sexuality reaction image if anyone tries it.)
Honestly, I think Johnny's relationship history is really interesting. There's a lot to analyze and explore, in a very different way than a character like Peter, who has really good romantic chemistry generally. But if we want to look at when and where Johnny ghosted hard, there's kind of three examples that come to mind. The first is admittedly the weakest, and I think the sliding timescale and generational attitudes on dating come into play here, but Dorrie Evans, Johnny's high school girlfriend, broke up with him because he stopped paying attention to her.
(FF #45)
Johnny and Dorrie are always kind of an interesting case. They were never a melodramatic romance with highs and lows the way, say, Peter's first romance with Betty Brant played out -- Johnny and Dorrie's main drama was that she disliked him "flaming on" all the time. She didn't want to date a superhero, and wanted Johnny to be more mature. (She does literally compare him to Peter here, who she met once when he returned her wallet.) But Peter was prepared to marry Betty at the rich age of eighteen, and Johnny and Dorrie never have that intensity. When they break up, they remain friends, and he falls in love with Crystal in the same issue at basically first sight. I don't think Johnny ghosts Dorrie so much as that they fizzle, but it does kind of set the groundwork here. Johnny only has two relationships in the '60s, by the way, first with Dorrie and then with Crystal, so I don't think the decade had anything to do with it. The bigger cases (Nita and Psionics) came significantly later, both in the 2000s.
Johnny's romances post-Dorrie are I would say more typical, and I think he's in them, for the most part, up until his marriage. He really loves Crystal, and he and Frankie have some compelling drama and interesting differences that never really get a chance to shine because she dumps him to become Galactus' herald. I think the first time we start to see him kind of pull away from a woman's advances is when Sharon Selleck, a friend of Frankie's, tries to initiate a relationship with him after Frankie's departure, when Johnny is pursuing a girl named Julie Angel. (That also goes nowhere.) She kisses him, coming onto him, and he visibly panics about it. (FF #259)
Again, notably, he and Sharon stay friends, although she later falls off the page. Iirc, I don't believe we've seen her since Byrne's run, which is a shame because I liked her. But anyway, we don't really see a shift in Johnny's relationships until after his marriage. I've talked about this before, but Johnny doesn't have "celebrity" relationships before his marriage. How I'm defining those are that they are relationships with someone else with a high celebrity profile, where at least part of the draw is their combined profiles. These aren't quite sham relationships for the press -- but they're relationships built at least partially on the attention that Johnny and the other person receive from being seen together. In the case of the first one, Namorita Prentiss, that's something she and Johnny actually discuss before they start dating.
Johnny and Nita attended Johnny's movie premier together, were photographed together, and apparently liked each other -- or so it seemed, until Johnny started ghosting her hard enough that other characters commented on it. (FF v3 #55) "'Scuze me -- I had this funny idea a guy was supposed to spend time with his girlfriend." Get him, Ben.
Johnny and Nita later broke up off page. There was an attempt to kind of explain the breakup in Human Torch (2003) #11, but it again kind of depends on the author inventing stuff we don't see, like Johnny allegedly wanting Nita to move into the Baxter Building. I can believe it, actually -- I think Johnny not wanting to spend time with his girlfriend but simultaneously attempting to play house with her in a bad mimicry of Reed and Sue, or Ben and Alicia, makes a certain amount of sense. But we don't see it on page, it's just addressed afterwards. (And then Nita was killed in the Stanford Incident, and Johnny was beaten into a coma during Civil War.)
Johnny's other celebrity relationships are Kourtney, a supermodel, who he had an on-again, off-again thing with that's kind of interesting. They have moments of genuine affection for each other, but they're also pretty clearly both using each other for their image, which y'know. It's interesting. Darla Deering, a popstar turned superhero who I like a lot, dumped Johnny for Scott Lang. Johnny wasn't broken up about it at all and was happy for her. Interestingly, again, he acknowledges he was more into her lifestyle than he was into her.
Then there's Psionics, a relationship that was troubled from the start. Millar's run came out right after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, so I think there was some attempt to kind of capitalize on the movie characterization and image of Johnny. Psionics is really Johnny's only "bad girl" love interest -- a superpowered bank robber who turned out to be with a group of individuals from the future looking to use Johnny and Doom as a Galactus battery to save themselves. So she does kidnap him, and would have seen him dead if it fulfilled her goals. But Johnny doesn't die, and when Psionics kisses him after everything, he just kind of stands there.
(FF #562) Admittedly, I don't find Hitch to be a particularly passionate artist, and there's mitigating circumstances here, like the fact that she kidnapped him and also that they're at a funeral for a future Sue. But he does say he'll come visit her, and then he does not do that even remotely. The next time he sees Psionics, she'll kill one of his friends in front of him and then also be murdered in front of him. It's like, one of my least favorite parts of Hickman's run. I think Psionics is a pretty interesting character (I love women behaving badly), honestly, although not a good love interest, and I would have loved to see another author explore her ruthless side in other contexts, but unfortunately that's not what we got. Again, like, a certain amount of this is chalked up to the art -- would that kiss have looked different with another artist? Maybe. But as it is, he just stands there and then he makes no effort to see her until the aforementioned double murder. And since we were talking previously about the Lyja arc, I think Psionics kind of figures in there in that she approaches Johnny with ulterior motives and then later is involved in a scheme to literally drain him like a battery. Like, there's interesting stuff going on there, but it's not romantic.
Anyway, those are my big three examples. Given Johnny doesn't have that many canon romances, three is a pretty significant percentage. I just think it's an interesting little habit he's got there. Would love someone writing Fantastic Four to investigate it. Instead of just perpetuating it and then tweeting inaccurately about canon. Slott.
you will never catch me complaining about an actress on a tv show having an imperfectly concealed pregnancy or a character going on a sudden trip somewhere while her actress is on maternity leave. so many actresses (and women working in any other field) are fired, punished and pressured into making reproductive decisions for their employers' convenience & if i have to try a bit harder to suspend my disbelief then that's absolutely what i'm going to do if it means people are getting to exercise reproductive & bodily autonomy without punishment
My favorite writing of this was how Star Trek DS9 handled Nana Visitor's pregnancy. It felt out of character for her character (Kira Nerys) to get pregnant and it's the semi-utopian future, so presumably birth control works quite well and abortions are easily available. Solution: another female character gets pregnant, is injured in an emergency situation, and Kira agrees to act as surrogate. They effectively wrote this entire story line well enough, with implications for the dynamics between Kira and the biological parents, that I didn't realize until later that the actress was actually pregnant. I thought it was just an interesting plot line.

Where are the women who protested in January?
This is not the first batch of hair found being smuggled at the borders. Many of the hair bundles do not meet the criteria for wig manufacturing. So who took this hair and from where?
The families of women who were given the bodies of their loved ones tell tales of horrors. Signs of torture, mutilated bodies, missing organs.
A lot of these women remain nameless and missing. Where are the Iranian women who protested during January 8 & 9?
