"Oh no! This resonance cascade has introduced hostile alien wildlife into the Black Mesa facility! How ever am I going to defend myself???" The humble crowbar:
“And Elesh Norn, of course”
“Of course”

At this point, if donald trump announced that he was appointing jk rowling to the newly-invented position of Federal Investigator of Biological Fairness in Sports, I wouldn’t bat an eye
I'm currently testing the limits of my antidepressants by rewatching Breaking Bad
hey man. nice regional dialect. mind if i apply some baseless assumptions about your personhood to it? i was also gonna prescribe morality to it as well. if that’s cool with you
i hate that the word craven is an actual word with negative connotations because in my mind it's a cool portmanteau of crow and raven instead
I think Trump’s mistake was that he never took Harris seriously until Biden retracted his candidacy. He never respected her as a serious threat, or even noticed her really, because she’s a woman.

you: mm it sure is hot! im gonna grab a hand fan to cool down
climate doomer article: its a tempting bit of rhetoric, talk of using a hand fan to cool oneself down. rhetoric now popular with many on the more techno-optimist end of the Left—but rhetoric nonetheless occluding definite, inevitable thermodynamical contradictions. yes, there is indeed the promise of a local, temporary respite from the ills of a hot summers day, but no good deed—or good wind—comes without a cost. this very act of "cooling" is not self propelled; indeed, scientists tell us (the very ones to, in another mode, hail the revolutionary potential of "waving a bit of paper back and forth to cool yrself while its hot"; the hobgoblin of little minds, it seems, has in these days vacated even the STEM literati), no physical act is. energy is needed to move the fan back and forth, and waste heat is the inevitable result. one can try to sweep this unpleasant dust beneath the enchanting rug of technocratic solutionism, or one can admit to the reality before us: no saviour, no "fan," is coming for us, here in the valley of the shadow of capital
tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it
Harry Potter is like Star Wars in that, in its original incarnation, you aren't supposed to think about it, its world is a pastiche meant to provide suitable aesthetics for a simple and fun adventure story. And at that task it succeeded so thoroughly that it attracted a lot of people who wanted to think about it, and in its later incarnations it seems that its creators want to too. But this was a doomed thing from the start because it wasn't designed for that and was never going to succeed at it.
