I love the idea that everything (positive) that Lila lies about somehow comes true for Marinette.

Lila lies about having connections to the queen of England? Suddenly, Marinette is getting regular commissions from the queen herself and forms quite the acquaintance-ship w the royal family.

Lila "is practically family" to an Italian mafia? Marinettes grandmother has quite an eccentric background, and through her, Marinette somehow manages to get a local Italian Mafia to pseudo-adopt her. (Only because she refused to actually be adopted, much to their disappointment)

Lila "went on tour" with Jagged Stone? Guess who wants his favorite designer to accompany him for his U.S. tour during the summer?

Oh, Lila says she acted in a movie for Graham de Vanily Films? Guess who ends up accidentally staring in a Graham de Vanily film?

I just want all the positive things that Lila lies about to happen to Marinette, who is sufficiently surprised every time (you'd think she'd be used to it by now), meanwhile, in the background, Lila gets progressively more pissed.

And the worst part? Every time she tries to upstage Marinette with something even bigger and grander than Marrinettes' own accomplishments? No matter how ridiculous, Marinette somehow ends up stumbling upon That. Exact. Opportunity.

It's incredibly frustrating.

You could say Marinette has some miraculous luck, despite how adamantly Tikki denies any involvement in these increasingly ridiculous turns of events.

All in all; Lila is frustrated, Marinette is frustrated, and Tikki is very amused (as are Adrien and Plagg, who watch this shit-show from the background).

#miraculous ladybug #miraculous #mlb #marinette dupain cheng #adrien agreste #ladybug #chat noir #lila rossi #tikki #plagg #tikki and plagg #tikki blames marinettes luck on her finding a face up penny on the ground two months ago #marinette thinks tikki is full of shit #tikki knows shes full of shit #this is tikkis way of protecting her lil' bug #adrien catches onto the patten and encourages lilas more ridiculous lies #adrien asks lila about her relations to american superheroes just to see how the fuck fates gonna pull that shit off #then their class wins a month long trip to gotham and/or New York #adrien thinks its funny #marinette wants to smack adrien across the head everytime she sees him talking to lila #because she just knows hes asking her about something thats gonna flip her life around for the hundreth fucking time #Marinette is so done #she wants out of this hell hole #tikki says no #all luck au

[USA, New York]

100's of bankers are now outside the Citi HQ, locked out of their workplace.

Climate Activists are standing arm-in-arm with our partners, blockading every single door.

Citibank are the top financier of oil and gas in the Amazon and the second largest funders of all fossil fuels.

These bankers are climate criminals. They deserve not a moment of peace.

March 5, 2024 Refloat of Battleship Texas

"Good Morning!

This morning Battleship Texas Foundation, Valkor Energy Services, and Gulf Copper plan to undock the Battleship Texas. This hours-long process will start at roughly 4 am. This operation is incredibly dependent on weather conditions -tide, current, and visibility. As of right now, there is very dense fog, if the Galveston Pilots do not have sufficient visibility, the discharge will be delayed until the next suitable tide and current window.

With over 700 tons of steel renewed on the ship and hundreds of thousands of man hours put into making the hull substantially watertight, we have great confidence that today will be successful. Once this 112 year old hull goes back into the water we will be subjecting her to an extended evaluation period while the ship remains in the shipyard.

I combined all three videos posted on their Facebook page.

This essay about how firearms classes teach attendees to be constantly vigilant and to shoot others at a moment’s notice is IMHO so important that I made the link above a gift 🎁 link, so anyone can read the entire article, even if they don’t subscribe to The New York Times.

UT Austin Associate Professor Harel Shapira attended 42 firearm instruction/ safety classes in different states and came away with a disturbing understanding of why we might be seeing more and more senseless shootings in our nation (like people being shot because they went to the wrong door or drove up the wrong driveway).

Apparently, classes in how to use firearms have changed over the decades from an emphasis on gun safety to an emphasis (in addition to safety) on the importance of shooting someone for self-protection at a moment’s notice.* Here are some excerpts from the essay:

I did not grow up around guns, but 10 years ago, I started attending firearms training classes. I wasn’t there to learn how to protect myself or my family. I was there to learn what was taught in the classes themselves, which a broad coalition of groups — including many police officers, Republican and Democratic legislators and gun violence prevention organizations — have hailed as a path out of the nation’s epidemic of violence.

I found something very different. The classes I attended trained students to believe that their lives are in constant danger. They prepared us to shoot without hesitation and avoid legal consequences. They instilled the kind of fear that has a corrosive effect on all interactions — and beyond that, on the fabric of our democracy.

I took 42 classes and conducted interviews with 52 instructors and 118 students, in traditionally red states like Texas as well as blue states like Massachusetts, in urban areas like Newark as well as rural Southern Illinois.... Most of all, I immersed myself in firearms schools in Texas, where I live, that cater to people who wish to learn how to use guns for self-defense. Some instructors in these schools told me they have been involved in drafting public safety protocols or running active shooter drills for public school teachers. Some of these instructors’ students have gone on to open training programs of their own. [...] First, the good news: Every firearms instructor I encountered was extremely serious about preventing accidents. [...] But teaching people how to avoid shooting someone by accident is a small part of what these classes are about. The primary lessons are about if and when to shoot someone on purpose. And this is where the trouble begins.

Instructors repeatedly told me that a big part of their job was to make people feel vulnerable, to make them aware of dangers they were not conscious of before to understand that bad things can happen at any time. One instructor told me he encourages students to carry their gun at all times. If students say they plan to leave it in the car, he responds, “So what you’re telling me is the only time you are ever going to get attacked is if you are in your car?”

The instructors describe a world teeming with violent and deranged individuals. And not just any individuals. The scenarios cluster around the public spaces of racially diverse cities. “More often than not,” an instructor who had been a high-ranking police officer said, the place you’re likely to be attacked is “in an urban part of society.” [...] Instructors repeatedly told me that statistics about crime are meaningless when it comes to the need to carry a gun. It’s not the odds, I heard on numerous occasions; it’s the consequences.... Repeatedly the lesson was that I ought to shoot even when my instincts might tell me otherwise. [...] Firearms instructors are not the only ones who make an appearance at self-defense classes. Lawyers do, too. Lawyers who specialize in defending gun owners. They go to classes and tell students how to talk (or not) to 911 operators and police officers in the event they shoot someone. In one seminar, a lawyer emphasized the importance of explaining, “I had no choice.”

With more than 200 mass shootings in our country this year alone, advocates of gun regulation often cite the tragic number of lives lost or the fact that gun-related injuries have surpassed car accidents as the nation’s leading cause of injury-related death among people under 24. But another, less recognized casualty is the kind of public interactions that make democracy viable. The N.R.A. says that “an armed society is a polite society.” But learning to carry a gun isn’t teaching Americans to have good manners. It’s training them to be suspicious and atomized, learning to protect themselves, no matter how great the risk to others. It’s training them to not be citizens.

[emphasis added]

* For instance, in the reader comments section for this essay, GN from Albany wrote: “As a young teenager in the 1960s I took an NRA course on gun safety. It wasn't anything like the courses described here. I learned to plink at a target with a .22 . The poison described in this article is a political artifact that was deliberately cultivated beginning in the 1980s.”
