I loved watching Anton in everything he did. One of my favorite up and coming actors. So devastated when I heard the news of his death. He's still one of the best things in the ST newer movies. 💛

I was talking about old youtube and I just really needed it again.

PBS is free for your kids. FREE FOR YOUR KIDS. My generation grew up on this programming. My kid is growing up with this programming. It's guaranteed safe for your kids with real lessons and it's free to you.

The threat that this is under is NO surprise. The funding for these programs have been under attack for a long time from conservatives but this government regime is enabling the agenda of taking things away from the people. The budget that PBS and NPR direct from the government is so small. They are lying to you that this is cutting government spending in any significant way. It's like telling a low income person, stop paying for heat if you want to save money. It's kind of critical to keep.

Classic. I love this video because it made our LAN parties look so much fun lol, and the tune is still damn catchy.

If there were ever a topic to maybe reach over the other side to come to agreement on, maybe it’s this. Forget about anything else because it’s too polarizing, but everyone needs medical care.

Interstellar Docking Scene – Recreated in LEGO // Blender Animation

Interstellar is one of my fave movies and this was an amazing job in recreation in lego (Blender)

it has been like at least eight years and sometimes I still think to myself, when I am tired, “but I am le tired… well then take a nap! AND THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES” even though in retrospect that is like one of the most embarrassingly unfunny videos to ever come out of the internet 

This is beautiful and powerful and what it means to be a person in this world.

Noooo! I was lamenting the past year about how mass market paperbacks are becoming more and more unavailable. They've been the best format for carrying around. Honestly, I wish they stopped pushing hardcover. People still want pocketable stuff, even young people.

I will even take the new format I saw which was still pocket width but the height was just a little taller. Example: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/333560/lord-of-the-flies-by-william-golding-afterword-by-lois-lowry/9780399501487/

Mass Market Paperback | $12.00 Published by Penguin Books Dec 16, 2003 | 224 Pages | 4-3/16 x 7-1/2 | ISBN 9780399501487

Publishers Plan for a New Mass Market Paperback Winnowing

While it may not quite be a death knell, Readerlink’s decision to end distribution for the format is likely to push publishers to dramatical

So this is interesting. :/

becoming a parent has made me think about these things. especially online presence stuff. definitely need to do some social media cleanup now vs later. less online store accounts. just less accounts as much as possible. there's just so much... digital trash out there now and i don't want my kid to have to worry about it.

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOU’RE IN.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.

Featuring Helpful Sections such as:

Death Certificates – What you need, why you need them, and how to get them

Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone

What the Everloving Fuck is Probate

Some Simple Dos and Don’ts

Shitty Mad Libs – Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials

How to plan a non-religious death party

So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.

It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.

I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.

Good luck!

(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)

Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir

I was skeptical with this series initially. I listened to the first book and I already had some spoilers of who the female leads hook up with. But the way the characters get treated seemed insane that they would hook up with any of the abusing characters.

Still it intrigued me enough that I wanted to know how this was going to happen, so I listened to book two. It was definitely better than the first. The female leads turn around and start fighting back which made the story much more entertaining to follow. I appreciate a little bit of justice. Finished the second book pretty quick and was happy to see book 3 was available.

I'm trying not to speed through these but the Graphic Audio production is great. The actors do a fantastic job. One of the female leads has become one of my favorite voice actresses to follow as I heard her first as Violet Sorrengail in the Fourth Wing production - Khaya Fraites.

However, so far my favorite character is Lance Orion. We'll see how things go :)

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

My coworker told me about this song. It's become almost an anthem a generation can commiserate on. Even though shit is being the shittiest in the US., this kind of made some feel better vibes. Like ammo to hold the line and fight another day.

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a banger

Love to the mars rovers family!

Haven't seen anything about Ingenuity on tumblr yet, so I guess I'll make a post about it

Ingenuity (sometimes called Ginny) was an companion craft to Perseverance, one of the rovers currently on Mars. As opposed to any of the past rovers, however, Ingenuity was a rotorcraft intended to fly above Mars' surface.

After landing on Mars in February of 2021 and completing its first flight on April 19th, 2021, Ingenuity became the first aircraft to fly on another planet. Its original goal was only 5 flights, but it well surpassed that number, logging 72 flights with over two hours of in-air time.

On January 18th, 2024, Ingenuity lost contact with Perseverance midway through a flight, and a few days later, NASA had confirmation that the rotors were damaged, leaving Ingenuity incapable of flight.

So long, Ingenuity. You did so much <3

How Did Elon Musk Gain Access to the U.S. Treasury?

Please remind your representatives for all parties to do their jobs. Don't let them sleep because the rest of us can't either.

FYI, this actually seems the most plausible. Meta straight up said they won't uphold ethical filters against hate. The TT agenda was probably an attempt for some US corp to buy it out and TT said no bc they are foreign but agreeed to play along for the $$. Social media has been coopted at least a decade ago. I don't even know why I'm posting this thinking this gets any traction. Screaming void.
