All Surfaces To Be Covered With Rats

i honestly don't think that apollo and phoenix biking everywhere is necessarily a sign that they're PoorTM. these bitches are in japan in the original translation, that's VERY bikeable. and as a person who works in a courthouse a lot and has a car, biking there is INFINITELY preferable. i dont wanna deal with the fuckass parking.

i made this post and then walked outside and someone had fucking stolen my bike. that i was about to use to bike to the courthouse.

me: *Closes three tabs of Wikipedia and nine of Mirriam-Webster* i can finally finish writing that tumblr post

The whole "but what about making sure artists receive credit for their work?" objection to copyright reform is especially irritating because treating moral rights (i.e., the right to attribution, etc.) as descending from or strictly subordinate to commercial exploitation rights is a uniquely American perspective. Not only are these two things separable, they are in fact separated in the vast majority of intellectual property regimes – it's basically just the United States that treats attribution rights as a strict subset of commercial rights. Hell, the US schema is arguably worse in terms of ensuring that artists are properly credited than nearly any conceivable alternative, as treating the right to attribution as a subset of commercial rights means that the right to attribution can be signed away. There are lots of places where it's simply inalienable!

had a dream that the hot new meme here was a photo of a rat color shifted to be yellow and dark blue and captioned "this is the kind of foolish film that always receives praise and accolades these days"
