Obsolete Units Surrounded By Hail

An A to Z of Brexit. Cathartic fragments, pessimistic conjectures. I had to write something, and so I wrote this.

Keep reading

dduane

This is so cogent. The paragraph that really jumped out for me:

S is for Stab In The Back: Brexit won. So why will the Brexiteers and Leave voters need to develop a betrayal narrative? Because the promises made to secure the win can’t and won’t come true. Brexit won’t get favoured trading deals. It won’t mean more money spent on the NHS. It won’t bring jobs and houses back. It won’t even have much of a visible impact on immigration. At this point Leave voters could say “we fucked up” or even, “well, we had to try”, but some won’t. Because Britain is Exceptional. They’ll find someone to blame. The rest of Europe, for their retaliation. The young remainers, for their youth. The cowards north of the border, for not Sticking It Out. The immigrants, for still existing. The markets — or go one better, the Shadowy Forces behind the markets… and there’s plenty of pre-existing conspiracies just waiting for such fertile soil to grow in.

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

wearyewe

No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet!

hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.

metallikato

If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too!

peppermintfeminist

Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!

fuckyeahsexpositivity

Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

Soccer commentators have 0% chill

squidbroom

transcript:

Yo, you know (sighs) soccer commentators are the rudest people they’re so blunt! Like, any other sport, like with basketball, you got a bad player on the court “Ah there goes Johnson. Havin’ a rough season, havin’ a rough season. Hopefully he can turn things around”. Soccer lets you know how they really feel. [in british accent, which somehow has a drawl] “Oh boy. And on the field is Bonaducci.” “Is he really that awful, Stanley?” “He plays like a ziploc bag full of semen.” “Honestly I just want to know why the manager put him in” “Bonaducci for the penalty. And of course he misses by three continents and a Toyota”

[end transcript]

…you guys don’t seem to understand the concept of “alternate universe”, do you?

And for the record, Into the Darkness was not a remake of The Wrath of Khan. Just because it had similar elements does not mean it’s a remake.

nellachronism

NO BUT DON’T YOU SEE!? THE NEXT MOVIE, THE SPACE!WHALES ARE ON THEIR VOYAGE TO RETURN TO EARTH (EXCEPT WE WON’T EVER CALL THEM SPACE!WHALES OR WHALES BECAUSE LOL THAT’S *SPOILERS*, WE’LL CALL THEM, OH, I DON’T, JOHN MCMISDIRECTS INSTEAD. AND IT’LL BE A *HUGE* REVEAL THAT THEY WERE SPACE!WHALES ALL ALONG AND WON’T EVERYONE JUST BE SO HAPPILY SURPRISED!? :D )

BUT KIRK AND THE CREW RUN INTO THEM IN SPACE BUT THEN THE WHALES PROBE THEM AND ACCESS THEIR DATA BANKS AND OMG NOOOOOOOO YOU SLAUGHTERED OUR PEOPLE THEY MUCH BE AVENGED! SO THE CREW HAS TO RACE THE SPACE!WHALES BACK TO EARTH BECAUSE WE JUST LOOOOOOOOOOOVE BLOWING SHIT UP IN THIS ‘VERSE.

AND SAN FRANCISCO GETS IT *AGAIN* BUT SPOCK SPEAKS WHALE AND EVEN THOUGH HE’S ALL EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED BECAUSE DADDY!SAREK HAS DIED DURING THE ASSAULT, HE CONVINCES THEM TO STOP ATTACKING!

AND THEN SYBOK RIDES UP ON A UNICORN ALL LIKE “…SHIT, YOU SKIPPED MY MOVIE, DIDN’T YOU?”

………ALRIGHT, JJ, SEND MY CHECK IN THE MAIL; I HAVE GIVEN YOU GOLD.

(…aka I perfectly understand AUs, thankyouverymuch. just don’t try to tell me that something that has the goddamn KHAAAAAAAAAAN AND the glass wall death scene yell isn’t a AU remake/reimagining/fanfiction what if. This shit doesn’t even smack of homage. It’s too overt.)

thetrekkiehasthephonebox

ok… anything else?

Also, he’ll replace the Whales with Dolphins, because people on the internet think Dolphins are cuter, and they’re lighter colored than Whales.

herestoyoumsholly

I died at the ‘lighter colored’ line.

This was the final product…

Died. I have died and have gone to happy Trek Heaven. Whitewashing Dolphins was the best part of this.

I know this is the cutting of a Christmas tree, but it reminds me so much of when I used to go cutting turf with my dad.. The sitting on a car bonet picnic, the colours... Everything.

I am laughing so hard, holy shit. So, these two girls are writing fanfic:

“It’s just a good old-fashioned Sherlock does it with Dracula on a spaceship fanfic….”

kvothbloodless

I wish i had a context for this. But I really dont.

pervocracy

I was all ready to “um, actually” this, but, um, actually there’s about 3-4 grams of iron in a person, which x400 is 1.2-1.6kg, which is a smallish but not unreasonable sword. So. Math checks out.

maxknightley

How would you extract the iron, though? The more practical solution would be to kill a mere hundred men, then mix 1 part blood with 3 parts standard molten iron, imo. Cheaper and faster, while still retaining the edge that only evil magic can give you.

bemusedlybespectacled

Or, you could just make the sword of iron, and then use the blood to temper the blade.

squeeful

1.2 to 1.6 kilograms is a perfectly reasonable large sword. Your average longsword was 1.1–1.8 kg and I don’t even remember if that’s including the weight of the hilt, guard, and pommel or just the blade. Your more classic “knight sword” was a mere 1.1 kilograms on average; the blood of 400 men is more than enough.

This is using the comparatively crappy metallurgy of medieval Europe and their meh iron swords. Move east to, say, contemporary Iran and make a scimitar using high carbon steel (~2%) for a .75 kilogram blade and you only need the blood of about 225 men.

optimysticals

So putting my thoughts in on this… because how could I not.

So you’ve exsanguinated your 400 guys to get the iron for your sword. Cool. But now you have 400 bodies lying around.

Why not put those to good use and cremate them. Use the carbon from those 400 bodies (you won’t need all of them) and now you can make a nice mid-high carbon steel sword.

Now you have a sword forged with the blood of your enemies AND strengthened with their bones.

Nadiya Hussain Lands Her Own Cookery Show

Nadiya Hussain’s career has gone from strength-to-strength since she was crowned the more-than-worthy winner of 2015′s Great British Bake-Off.

Having secured her own column in The Times Magazine and cooked The Queen’s 90th birthday cake, Nadiya is now set to explore her new culinary roots in a new TV documentary.

‘The Chronicles of Nadiya’ (amazing name we know) will follow the Bake-Off star’s ‘exurberant’ culinary journey from her home town in Luton to her family village in the north east of Bangladesh.

In the two-part programme, produced the Love Productions, Nadiya will cook dishes from her childhood, share her favourite meals with family and friends, meet people as passionate about food as she is and learn new recipes, as well as exploring changes in the country’s food.

She last visited ten years ago for her wedding.

Patrick Holland, head of commissioning for documentaries at the BBC, said: “Nadiya’s story on Bake Off touched the hearts of the nation. We are delighted that she will be using her cooking skills to take us on a journey to such an extraordinary and changing land.”

Tweeting about her big news, Nadiya wrote: “It’s true Chronicles of Nadiya! So excited to share my journey with everyone …#chroniclesofnadiya”.

We can’t wait to watch this.

These are just a few of the beautiful Chuck Tingle covers that have been brought to my attention since for some reason a bunch of homophobic white supremicists decided to nominate his ‘Space Raptor Butt Invasion’ for best story as a way of disrupting the Hugos.

Why said people would think promoting something so delightfully gay is beyond me. Maybe they don’t understand that gay people and the ‘sjw’ they fear so much have a sense of humour?

In as much as Chuck says anything clearly, he seems against the ridiculous slate voting, but totally willing to make the best of the unexpected spotlight. See this response to a query from his currently ongoing AMA:

PhilSandifer

Given that you only got on the ballot because of the vindictive trolling of a white supremacist, why aren’t you declining the nomination to make room for one of the people kept off the ballot by [***]’s manipulation of the process?

chucktinglethanks

thank you for bringing attention to TED COBBLER a scoundrel and troublemaker across all of billings. this makes buds SOFT to even think about and is very sad days, as it is part of the antibuckaroo agenda. please understand the LOVE IS REAL so that makes the best book name of Space Raptor Butt Invasion, this will be your new favorite read and you can put it on the top of the shelf to show all buds who come over once we win award and PROVE love is real for all who kiss and that scoundrels never win thank you

[TED COBBLER is apparently the local nemisis of Chuck’s homespun Utah persona.]

Oh, and, overnight, the nimble Chuck has written a celebratory story:

‘Slammed in the Butt by My Hugo Award Nomination’.

Bless you, Chuck Tingle, and all who sail in you.
