going forward, red words are considered odd numbers, unless the words were already even numbers, like five. blue words are scared of odd numbers and so will only appear in the same sentence with them if there are green words there too. green words are considered even and five. if you trap a blue word in a sentence with red words but no green words, death will result, and will be considered odd. odd numbers are divisible by purple words unless they (purple or red) are prime or it is raining. death has resulted. a prime number can eat the corpses of most red words and some others but they will be absolutely poisoned and die if they eat an even number, like five. this is how the stock market works.

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

i want you on my team holy shit

It's just weird living in a world that was at one point fully on-board with rehabilitating George W Bush, a man who famously invaded a country and started a war over absolutely nothing and resulted in instability in Iraq that still exists to this day, and yet we are going to marches called "No Kings?". girl where have you been?

America was so susceptible to fascist capture because we brazenly let presidents perform actual war crimes and didn't hold them accountable for it. Bush is a felon, Obama is a felon, they just will never be tried for their crimes. Almost every President commits harm and wrongdoing on a level so absolutely absurd that it dwarfs whatever they've done before.

Also just to be clear, "fascist capture" is a phrase that's loaded with connotations and it's not even one I subscribe to (I think America has been in a state of proto-fascism for at least four decades) but it's like. I'm so sick of the way people act like this isn't America. "There's a felon in the White House" girl there is ALWAYS a felon in the White House. A very, very bright and glaring spotlight is being shined on a fundamental truth because they've finally gotten confident enough to not feel ashamed and you are turning away from it to bury your head in the sand!!!

I think I know what this is talking about but I am not sure

Jordan was carved from British Mandate Palestine, just like Israel, when it became a country in 1946, but nobody in the Free Palestine movement says it should be dismantled.

To give a bit of nuance, it's also more that the British gave the land to an Arab royal family (the Hashemites) to rule over. The Hashemites did once rule over a kingdom. So it's a bit like if some Imperial power decided to allocate a piece of land for a deposed German duke family (there's many from the former Holy Roman Empire) to rule

Yep. But if you say "hey y'all were literally installed by a colonial power" it doesn't go over well from what I hear

more evidence for the 'they didnt dissappear, they just married into our communities' theory

Neaderthals were too thick and sexy to survive. Sad.

Denisovans too

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.
