More girls, trying to figure out how I like to colour in CSP. I do like how the cybergirl in pink came out.
me and my friends would've killed Caine with hammers i can tell you that much
Dude
Do you think Michael Crichton had a deep-seated hatred of theme parks because he was too tall for all the rides?
Yes.
[tumblr] is a flat circle.
Here's one more wild jump off a ramp in a monster truck into a canyon for you:
HE'S A CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER
Excerpt: "Crichton became well known for attacking the science behind global warming. He testified on the subject before Congress in 2005. His views would be contested by a number of scientists and commentators."
In 2005!!!!
Absolutely wild that the Very Tall Science Book Guy could miss the mark so bad. Fascinating.
Not wild at all, look at his other stuff, and then back at Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park is only incidentally about the evils of capitalism, because Crichton blames the mechanics of capitalism on scientists.
His moral mouthpiece character says this :
I'll tell you the problem with engineers and scientists. Scientists have an elaborate line of bullshit about how they are seeking to know the truth about nature. Which is true, but that's not what drives them. Nobody is driven by abstractions like 'seeking truth.'
Scientists are actually preoccupied with accomplishment. So they are focused on whether they can do something. They never stop to ask if they should do something. They conveniently define such considerations as pointless. If they don't do it, someone else will. Discovery, they believe, is inevitable. So they just try to do it first. That's the game in science. Even pure scientific discovery is an aggressive, penetrative act. It takes big equipment, and it literally changes the world afterward. Particle accelerators scar the land, and leave radioactive byproducts. Astronauts leave trash on the moon. There is always some proof that scientists were there, making their discoveries. Discovery is always a rape of the natural world. Always.
Michael Crichton considers science and innovation the same things. He doesn't seem to be aware that archeology, biology and medicine are also all sciences.
Of course he thinks climate change is a hoax. To him that's the rapists making up excuses like how she asked for it.
The scientists want it that way. They have to stick their instruments in. They have to leave their mark. They can't just watch. They can't just appreciate. They can't just fit into the natural order. They have to make something unnatural happen. That is the scientist's job, and now we have whole societies that try to be scientific."
No, we have whole capitalist societies, and they like to edge into fascism, and neither of those value science very much.
“But scientific power is like inherited wealth: attained without discipline. You read what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young. You can make progress very fast. There is no discipline lasting many decades. There is no mastery: old scientists are ignored. There is no humility before nature. There is only a get-rich-quick, make-a-name-for-yourself-fast philosophy. Cheat, lie, falsify—it doesn’t matter. Not to you, or to your colleagues. No one will criticize you. No one has any standards. They are all trying to do the same thing: to do something big, and do it fast. “And because you can stand on the shoulders of giants, you can accomplish something quickly. You don’t even know exactly what you have done, but already you have reported it, patented it, and sold it. And the buyer will have even less discipline than you. The buyer simply purchases the power, like any commodity. The buyer doesn’t even conceive that any discipline might be necessary.” “I’ll make it simple,” Malcolm said. “A karate master does not kill people with his bare hands. He does not lose his temper and kill his wife. The person who kills is the person who has no discipline, no restraint, and who has purchased his power in the form of a Saturday night special. And that is the kind of power that science fosters, and permits.
Note how he skips over the role of propaganda entirely.
Yeah sure this guy dislikes theme parks, and that maybe even be tied to his height on a subconscious level, but let's not ignore the more likely reasons : he dislikes environmental science specifically.
Jurassic Park is a big sermon against a bunch of sciences that are currently working on preventing further environmental damage, like gene reconstruction and environmental management.
One of his last novels is straight up about evil environmental activists murdering people as a method to advertise their (what Crichton sees as) climate change conspiracy. By causing natural disasters because they can control the weather, so they are faking the damage of global warning to warn people of it.
Crichton believes environmentalism is a religion, because apparently he has interacted exclusively with Christian commercial environmentalism and then called it a day. Couldn't imagine there's any human variation or anything.
"There's an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there's a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment. Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe. . . . Religions think they know it all, but the unhappy truth of the environment is that we are dealing with incredibly complex, evolving systems, and we usually are not certain how best to proceed. Those who are certain are demonstrating their personality type, or their belief system, not the state of their knowledge. Our record in the past, for example managing national parks, is humiliating. Our fifty-year effort at forest-fire suppression is a well-intentioned disaster from which our forests will never recover. We need to be humble, deeply humble, in the face of what we are trying to accomplish. We need to be trying various methods of accomplishing things. We need to be open-minded about assessing results of our efforts, and we need to be flexible about balancing needs. Religions are good at none of these things."
Don't you just love it when high horse artists use "religion" when they mean that insulated groups of any kind are at risk of forming rigid beliefs.
Or when they act as if Christianity and religion are synonymous.
Environmental care predates Christianity.
The firsts scientists were indigenous people, and plenty of them nowadays carry on this science, and have thousands of years of effect to back it up. Those bad fire management problems for example, there were people around who knew the solution, just the park managers weren't listening because racism, not because of religion.
A lot of their well tested science was interwoven with spirituality, which didn't make their land management less effective.
Crichton knows very well that indigenous people exist, he just thinks their environmental science doesn't count, so he decided that the best and only way to represent them in State of Fear was as cannibals who end up eating the environmentalist who infiltrator to the heroic team.
Here's a recent article on the harm his State of Fear novel has done to understanding of climate change.
Here's another.
One time Crichton acknowledges that indigenous people have any nature science was in his novel Congo, where a team of heroic miners looking to plunder diamonds in Africa come across an an ancient indigenous city, still guarded by specially bred super aggressive gorillas that the indigenous scientists left behind. It is suggested they bred themselves with the gorillas, which worked somehow, because the gorillas are intelligent enough to have language and tool use.
In other words, the indigenous people scienced themselves into always chaotic evil monsters.
The heroic invaders trigger a volcanic eruption while heroically plundering the mine, which conveniently wipes out the evil hybrids.
There's some regular indigenous humans showing up at the end, who are again cannibals, to provide an additional escape scene.
I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly bad Michael Crichton was at listening to anyone whose existence contradicts his view of the evils of environmental science.
Parts of Jurassic Park may feel like they criticize the impact of capitalism and bigotry, but he wants people to hate scientists for those problems, not capitalists or colonizers.
He does not deserve the reputation as a science book guy.
YOU STUPID FUCKING DICKHEAD!!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH THE x10 GATE NOT THE x2!!!! YOU WON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEN!!! IT'S ALL FUCKED!!!!!!!!

Deep Lore #3
i had a dream that this guy was looking for a bathroom and he found one labeled "god" and thought "..well surely not" so he entered and god was in there washing his god hands and was all like "u cant be in here 😠" and started like flinging tap water at him but because hes god the water kept turning into wine and the guy was like dude what the hell stop flinging wine at me
Evil supernatural beings: Humans are just our cattle!!! Our sheep!! Our chickens!!! We own you like livestock!!!
Me, nodding: So you take care of them their whole lives and ensure their heath?
Evil supernatural beings: what?
Me: So... You're not doing the basics of "owning livestock" as you put it?
Evil Superna beings: Why would we need to do that?
Me: on a scale of 1 to 10, how sick would you say you get after each feeding session?
Evil supernatural beings: Why would—
Me: Because if you're not ensuring basic care and health of what you're exclusively eating, then you're going to get whatever Sicknesses they have! Some of you constantly throw up blood and have you considered the fact most of the humans you eat are malnourished because we're living paycheck to paycheck? I couldn't tell you how few people can afford to go to their yearly recommended doctor's appointments! You're fucking yourselves over by not doing the bare minimum to ensure your food is healthy.
When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]
I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.
In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.
In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.
Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.
Good bird.
Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off
This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!
I had to reblog this, for obvious reasons.
DOGE as an organization has been linked to 300,000 deaths due to its cuts and multiple significant data breaches. All the while, DOGE did not actually reduce the government’s deficit.
[...]
After watching hours upon hours of this footage, what stands out to me is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government. The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value but do positively impact others. Even by their own metrics of merit based activity, this campaign was a failure. Fox believes these particular cut contracts did save hundreds of millions of dollars, but the cuts ultimately did not reduce the deficit. Not even close. It makes for strangely captivating viewing, seeing someone part of a team that has caused so much damage coldly explain the flawed thinking behind what they did. The answers are sometimes defensive and coached because they’re in a lawsuit, of course. But taken as a whole they show at least these members of DOGE are essentially unapologetic for what they did. In a statement published last week, American Council of Learned Societies President Joy Connolly said, “Our lawsuit reveals this administration’s contempt for that principle and for public investment in research for the common good. DOGE employees’ use of ChatGPT to identify ‘wasteful’ grants is perhaps the biggest advertisement for the need for humanities education, which builds skills in critical thinking.”
12 March 2026
The internet already has numerous archived, backups of the DOGE videos up online after a judge ordered them to be removed.
On Friday, a federal judge ordered the videos be removed after a complaint from the Trump administration. However, much to the chagrin of the U.S. government, internet archivists and forums like Reddit's r/datahoarders have already re-uploaded backups of the videos.

so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.
Okay, we got a new one, boys.
