if i could bottle up the sea breeze

big fan of a character seeking comfort in the arms of the thing that’s going to kill them. and i am psycologicalily normal too.

I can't believe we live in a world where there's an AI company unironically called "Palantir," and it isn't a parody. It's a real thing. I remember seeing a picture of an advertisement on here and thinking, "This HAS to be a joke. This is too on-the-nose to be real. They wouldn't honestly name an AI company Palantir, after the Seeing Stones from Lord of the Rings that are supposed to offer knowledge, but famously also might be feeding you misinformation from evil sources because 'we do not know who else may be watching.'" But then here I am listening to the BBC News discussing why the CEO of Palantir just published a Manifesto that sounds like it was written by a supervillain.

young people dont let the chatbot ads tempt you. it will never be as fun as rping with other people as weird as you

i never successfully rped but i read other peoples rps and it changed my life

if you roleplay youre an international hero

if you roleplay where i can read it youre a saint

why did no one tell me jeremy irons lives in a restored irish castle

After 13 years of this, it's still funny to me that detailing a full mental breakdown on tumblr is standard fare, but posting a nice selfie is a fraught decision.

this is the correct way around and every other social media site is wrong

i think there is something to be said about this wave of white women made media that is so surface level with an underlying racist and/or insensitive bias and that refuses to engage with criticism. i'm talking taylor swift's the life of a showgirl, emerald fennell's wuthering heights, colleen hoover, the acotar series and booktok in general, etc. whenever you dare to raise concerns about the superficiality or the questionable writing or the treatment of poc in those pieces you get shut down with a "it's not that deep" or "let women have fun". this weaponisation of misogyny to justify slop made for mass consumption, especially considering how wide spread it is becoming, scares me quite a bit. to quote princess weekes, "the girlypopification of anti-intellectualism" is truly concerning, and i do believe it is linked to the rise of far right movements worldwide. if you refuse to engage with what you are being presented with, and exclusively consume brain smoothing content "for fun" then yeah you do become more susceptible to propaganda. it is that deep.

the idea of the pitt literally telling us that santos, like everyone in the show, is a flawed individual that can be justified in her personal feelings towards langdon and have been deeply and undeniably affected by his actions and deserve formal acknowledgement of that, but by being argumentative to a senior (yes, senior) resident who verifiably knows more than her in front of a patient is highly unprofessional AND her explicit martyrdom by convincing herself people dislike her for what she did to langdon and not, as exampled in every episode of this show thus far, the way she chooses to treat people… is a Character Flaw. and the idea that the pitt can use all of that to build a case for a compelling and sympathetic and clearly moving character and some of you STILL log on to tumblr.com to uwu she’s just a girl trinity santos? put the pitt down open jstor.org today we’re all going to learn what a story is
