taylor swift would release a 30th special edition of the tortured poets department to block the vampire lestats spot on the billboard chart and within 24 hrs travis kelce would go missing
Can i get some Jiang cheng centered fics without it being any ship?
yall gotta be nicer about m/f bc sometimes u guys like the blandest gay sutff ive ever seen in my life
gonna add onto this you all gotta stop acting like m/f is just cishet when bisexual people exist and straight trans people exist.
last add on alot of m/f ships of poc or white/poc ship are constantly downplayed for bland white m/m or f/f ships
#also sometimes u guys r just fuckig misogynist. abt the women in m/f ships. sorry

âHaha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.â
Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.
âY2K came to nothing amirite?â
Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.
âRemember the hole in the ozone layer?â
You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?
One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those âitâs gonna be an apocalypseâ disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.
The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.
And I still think thatâs going to happen. I donât know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope wonât help bring it about.
And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

rent-lowering gunshot time. i think a reflexive anti-AI stance can be reactionary because there are legitimately good use cases for the technology in scientific research, although it is often overhyped. i also think most people use AI in incredibly stupid ways
Thinking about MDZS politics again and how precarious everyone's positions post-war are so fascinating.
1. The Wens ransack the Cloud Recesses and this is particularly devastating for that sect because they are not an economic centre of their own, but rely on drawing in nighthunting jobs and students to 'pay the bills'. Without their centuries of collected knowledge and natural cultivation-enhancing spaces, they don't have a practical method of day-to-day sect survival available. Caiyi town, their lifeline (waterways are EVERYTHING in economics it does not matter that they can fly) is crippled before the story even starts. While the Lans aren't outright killed as the Jiang are, the Wens clearly intended to starve them out.
2. This strategy WOULD NOT work in Yunmeng, which is not geographically or economically isolated, and in which the cultivation clan is shown to participate in agriculture and acts as a trade interface. Because of its position, it also makes an excellent hub for the further control of surrounding regions (again, WATERWAYS.) So of course it has to be physically 'taken over', necessitating the extermination of the entire clan + anyone else unlucky enough to have been at Lotus Pier that day. With YMJ under their control, none of the minor sects can do much, so they're 'left alone' (have their weapons stolen but not exterminated). The Wens now control the region's trade. Even cultivators need to eat, to repair clothing and armor, to get access to medicine. This is also why Wen Qing running a supervisory office *is not morally neutral* even if she isn't actively fighting non-Wens. Her presence and oversight are part of ensuring an economic chokehold on a region that directly supplies and bolsters the Wens efforts elsewhere.
3. The fact that the Jiang sect was even 'allowed' to rebuild after the war instead of being forcefully taken over/administrated by another clan (the Jin, it would have been the Jin. They had marriage ties to justify it socially and legally, and the manpower from their late entry into the war to enforce it) reads to me as a combination of a couple interesting factors:
3.1 The fear of Wei Wuxian/demonic cultivation - which further contextualises WWX's exit as him not just abandoning JC as an individual but jeopardizing his clan as well. Which I think is obvious but people do forget at times.
3.2 The degree to which the Jin are committed to their benevolent self-image and how much political sway that lends them.
3.3 The continued capitulation and overtures from the Jiang sect towards their nearby allies and the great sects who stand to benefit from having such an economically-rich region well-managed without having to sacrifice their own manpower, but still be something they greatly benefit from. This is JYL's marriage, the grace of having one of YZY's greatest friends as the mother-in-law; unfavourable trade deals, giving up salvaged artifacts and stretching their people thin attempting to both regain wealth and trust from citizenry through nighthunting.
3.4 Nie Mingjue (and SL Yao) - really the only sect leaders who consider honor foremost in their political decisions, and therefore the most likely to support the continuation of YMJ ideologically, as the rightful recapturing of stolen land/act of rightful revenge. This remains contingent on YMJ's continued adherence *to that regime of revenge*.
4. The rebuilding of Cloud Recesses is similarly rife with complicated politics, chief of which is Lan Xichen's need to please Jin Guangyao, through which the Jin offer financial aid to help physically rebuild infrastructure. (Not that they aren't genuine friends, but their political relationship is very much part of things). Recall also that, in order to draw in students, Gusu Lan has to present themselves as righteous as per the societal definition of righteousness, internal moral reasoning aside.
5. The Wens' destructive/disruptive path through cultivator society was so widespread and thorough and well-planned, that it's little wonder literally no one has any goodwill towards people surnamed Wen in the post-war. Consider this: there were servants/merchants/visiting families/fishermen/ordinary folk who were killed or had their livelihoods ruined by the Wens during their regional takeovers. Does the blood of only the cultivator Wens make up for these lives too? Were they not themselves innocents who just so happened to be around Yunmeng/Caiyi Town/the Cloud Recesses/delivering food to the Clan hubs/weaving cloth to sell to the cultivators/picking their herbs/excitedly showing their children the cultivators flying by? Just think about this, and come to your own conclusions, on the difficulty of assigning blame and innocence.
6. What the cultivation world did in turning around and killing the Wen remnants was inevitable. The participation in that extermination of characters we otherwise like/support was also inevitable within the confines of the political and social structures they inhabit. Just as Wen Qing's supervisory role was, and Wen Ning's leadership of his Wen squad was. This is part of the tragedy of all of it. MDZS is not a story about wandering cultivators in the Jianghu who are neither beholden to the rule of politics nor have any collateral supports endangered by their action/inaction. Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan come at the problem with the hope that it is nepotism that corrupts this system, but This Is How Political Systems Function. So long as the cultivation sects exist as sects with complex economic ties to one another and regular regional+ economics, all of which are entrenched in a society with particular values (all of which reiterate the preservation of the sect/clan and these structures and relationships) this will be the reaction to these kinds of events.

The man who won't rest until the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is cleaned up has successfully tested his system for doing so.
ââThe Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned,â announced Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat, the wonderkid inventor whoâs spent a decade inventing systems for waterborne litter collection.
Recent tests on his Ocean Cleanup rig called System 002, invented to tackle the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic pollution, were a success, leading Slat to predict that most of the oceanic garbage patches could be removed by 2040.
Intersections of ocean currents have created the massive floating islands of plastic trashâfive slow-moving whirlpools that pull litter from thousands of miles away into a single radius.
The largest one sits between California and Hawaii, and 27-year-old Slat has been designing and testing his systems out there, launching from San Francisco since 2013.
GNN has reported on his original design for the floating device, but his engineering team improved upon it. System 002, nicknamed âJenny,â successfully netted 9,000 kilograms, or around 20,000 pounds in its first trial.
Itâs carbon-neutral, able to capture microplastics as small as 1 millimeter in diameter, and was designed to pose absolutely no threat to wildlife thanks to its wide capture area, slow motion, alerts, and camera monitors that allow operators to spy any overly-curious marine lifeâŚ
Slat estimates ten Jennies could clean half the garbage patch in five years, and if 10 Jennies were deployed to the five major ocean gyres, then 90% of all floating plastic could be removed by 2040.â -via Good News Network, 10/19/21
Recent update from this org: theyâve launched System 03 (in 2023) and have gone on over 100 expeditions and collected over 1 million pounds of trash! They also are working on cleaning up rivers :)
We are cleaning up ocean plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Learn more about the technology used and the cleanup progress here.
Since this post is getting more attention again, obligatory reminder that this is not in fact a good organization, and that the âocean cleanupâ they claim to do goes against the advice of basically every marine scientist. Boyan Slat, who founded this company, is not a hero who is going to save the oceans. Heâs a rich man profiting off of an undeliverable promise, while causing immense harm to fragile marine ecosystems.
Biologist Rebecca Helm is one of the leading proponents AGAINST this effort, which she describes as âseeing a meadow polluted by plastic bags and bulldozing it to fix the problem,â and sheâs one of the major players in the marine biology world. Sheâs currently one of the people helping negotiate the High Seas Treaty with the United Nations to protect our oceans. She knows what sheâs talking about, so when she says this project will do irreparable harm to the fragile ecosystem that the garbage patch is located in, sheâs correct.
I spoke to her personally a few years back about the Pacific Garbage Patch and she was so nice to answer my laymanâs questions. The high seas really donât have much life just swimming around out there, for one thing. Those videos of seals getting stuck in fishing nets are from near shorelines, not from the garbage patch. The majority of the trash is not nets or entire spotless water coolers, like the ocean cleanup likes to post flashy videos of themselves removing. The âtrash islandsâ that Iâm sure youâve seen pictures of arenât the garbage patch. Theyâre from plastic accumulation near shorelines (~99% of plastic in the oceans is near the shore) and the mouths of rivers, which is where we should focus more of our efforts rather than trying to scoop particles out of the open ocean.
The marine organisms that are most directly affected by the âgarbage patchâ are neustons: free floating organisms that live on the surface of the water and are pushed by the wind and the currents, same as the trash. These animals live in and among and even on the trash in the ocean. And unfortunately, the trash as it exists now is replacing part of their natural ecosystem. Where organisms like molluscs used to latch onto wood and float into the open ocean, theyâre now latching onto plastic. This complicates the cleanup even more.
All the Ocean Cleanup does is send overly expensive boats with overly expensive trawling nets out onto the ocean, where they scoop up horrendous amounts of bycatch (say goodbye to those sea turtles that you wanna save!) and consider the collateral damage a worthwhile tradeoff for⌠Extremely paltry results. A 2024 report estimated it would cost 7.5 billion euros to remove <0.1% of ocean plastic. And this is AFTER the supposed âimprovedâ model, with their even larger (2.2km!!) barrier and trawling net.
So please, have some hesitancy when it comes to big, easy promises by rich men for big, complex problems. If every company in the world throws money at it instead of simply reducing ANY of their plastic usage, you can be pretty sure that itâs not an actual solution.
