Pretty fishy

@demilypyro

going to start acting like i don't know anything about america. "people who aren't old enough to drink yet" ummmm we were talking about 19 year olds? they have been old enough to drink for a year now! you might be a little confused 😁

ok.

you tell americans "don't assume everyone is from the usa" and they will say "you want me to list every country and culture my statement DOESN'T apply to before i say anything??????? is that what you want??????" you know what yeah, that IS what i want now. start listing.

usamericans will let their internet companies grow into monopolistic megacorporations eliminating all the competing companies within their country while having a regime that expects competition to exist in order to ~innovate~, use the imperial spoils to outcompete local websites in other countries and drag them into bankruptcy, and then complain about non-usamericans daring to exist on their websites

Only 45.7% of Tumblr are USAmericans

i do love when some insane doctor who thing happens and briefly my dash is full of dw posts from those of us who rarely post dw. periodic family reunion. or family funeral

here’s my pitch for next doctor who. budget of 5 cents and a dream. a female doctor with female companions and a female master. they will all get horrendously gay for each other. we will make 5 billion dollars. bbc please hire me.

anyways, I'm still so angry over that Deadline article about Disney nuking Ncuti Gatwa's era of Doctor Who because of "woke" (not even kidding), because they received "overwhelming" feedback that the show was "too woke" for international audiences. It will never not piss me the fuck off how woke was/is literally aave for being politically aware that's been so co-opted by white establishment conservatives that this bastardised co-opted colonised concept of "woke" is now weaponised against Black people, people of colour and other marginalised people to justify casting us down and out. A literal fuckinf alien was played by a Black gay actor and old white people lost their shit and now a 60 yr old show is basically dead because some white people hated they weren't being directly pandered to. I'm never not gonna be pissed the fuck OFF

Hannah Montana is fucked up because its entire POINT as a show is that children should be protected from fame and exploitation, but it stars a REAL little girl that's being exploited. Nearly every episode carries the looming threat of Miley being outed as Hannah and losing her peaceful teenage life to the ravages of fame. Her father in the show (played by her own father in real life) wisely protected her from the trauma of fame by making her wear a disguise and live a rather quiet, interview-free life. Meanwhile the REAL Billy Ray Cyrus sold his daughter to Disney Channel when she was 11 and forced her to read dialogue about how terrible it would be to face the public eye. Like... Jesus, dude. The fictional Robby Ray is 10x the father, and it's not even close. (It's also IMMENSELY funny that her dad doesn't use his real name in the show, while she does. Almost like he wanted a bit of a disconnect between his identity and his character. Something Miley didn't get.)

The reason Donna has never seen the doctor regenerate without David Tennant is actually because the presence of Donna Noble spawns David Tennants in Time Lords the same way temperature feminizes lizards. If the master died in front of Donna he would regenerate into David Tennant

You know the art is good when the academics start getting spicy in the notes

You've heard of parallel play, now get ready for perpendicular play.

Hot cross buns?

no more media analysis until we agree that all art is a sublimation of the desire to ritually sacrifice the king. yeah all of it. yeah even cars 2 and stuff

the writers thinly-disguised [sublimation of the desire to ritually sacrifice the king]

buck figured out chimney and maddie were basically dating half an episode in, but he still can't see he has been raising a family with his best friend for years. i love him.

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

Let’s fucking go

5. If the words are Google's, this solidifies the position of universities who demand that all answers from AI are fully cited. If all the in-line citations now have to be (Google, 2026), that's going to make it obvious when someone's trying to use Google as a source. There's still the difficulty with people who are academically dishonest by trying to pass off the AI writing as their own. 6. 91% accuracy is officially too low to use as a source of references, which means the AI can't be used as a source of references either. This makes it less legitimate for such purposes than Wikipedia of all places (Wikipedia might need date/time proof of when it was accessed for the reference to be valid, but at least it is possible to prove the link existed at a particular date and time). 7. This will help encourage the rollout of courses on how to avoid AI search for students who need academic accuracy, because it's statistically not good enough to use. 8. This strengthens the case intellectual property authors have against Google in the EU, as this is proof that an intellectual property transfer took place.
