#shutting down the government

[wizardnuke]

can't stop thinking about a shadowgast "i'm not looking to fuck do you have a screwdriver my bathroom is flooding" grindr au

#essek's the one with a flooding bathroom because 1. he's a shut-in who wouldn't ever talk to his neighbors and 2. probably has #either extremely reactive experiments going on in his kitchen or classified documents he brought home to work on #but he wouldn't have a screwdriver #and caleb 'diy wizard' widogast would a. check grindr regularly and b. have a full toolkit #caleb sits essek down and shows him how to fix it. you'd think it turns into a porno but between essek's demisexuality and caleb's #all-encompassing excitement over Doing Repairs that I know that nerd would have. they don't get that far and caleb leaves quickly bc he #has papers to grade. a week goes by. essek starts breaking things on purpose. it slowly dawns on caleb that Shitty Pipes Guy doesn't #actually have shitty pipes it's that he's Lonely. and that's endearing. is this mic on #caleb teaches physics at a community college and essek is some skeevy government official with a phd in astrophysics

RIP to all of the British people who have to deal with the BBC/national officials shutting the country down the next few weeks that’s gonna be rough.

#ra speaks #personal #british royal family #queen elizabeth #having like the entire office nation put a hold on your life just bc some old broad died has got to suck #here in the states we can celebrate and joke but y’allre gonna be seeing articles and it’s gonna b all over the radio for months I bet #‘why are you talking likes they’ve officially announced her death?’ I found a four leaf clover yesterday she’ll be dead by weeks end #one way or another #edit: jfc yallre in a recession too?? and the gov is gonna splurge on ceremonies??? and they say the states is a hell country #good luck out there brits o7 #edit 2: I’m American and I made this post before they even announced she was dead how was I supposed to know the details of who would #and would not be required to work in these circumstances? #‘shut down the country’ in an American ‘they shut down the government’ kinda of way. everything just gets a lil noticeably shittier. #this was a personal diary entry that’s been reprinted on pamphlets and thrown off a building balcony idk you people

also in terms of the bolas playlist it's fascinating to me that the songs added by each person have a slight tendency to represent a consistent aspect of bolas

like

the songs added by slime are their chaos

the songs added by philza are their rebellion

the songs added by cellbit are their rage

the songs added by baghera are their anguish

it's so fucking FASCINATING TO ME but i don't know enough music theory to elaborate lmfao this is Vibes Only

(mouse's songs i can't boil down to an easy noun which is why they aren't mentioned lmao anyway they go hard asf)

(also i went on the longest fucking unhinged elaboration in the tags lmfao i almost didn't have enough tags left to tag "long tags" at the end

(i could have even gone on longer in terms of where their characters were at entering purgatory [philza: cage for a cage; cellbit: fed worker murders; baghera: her past as a federation experiment; slime: turning into a code because of the code pretending to be his daughter] but i ran out of space and also time it's 4AM AAAAA)

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #this is a sweeping generalization btw esp for baghera's she added a WIDE variety of music #qsmp bolas #sorry i forgot that tag existed lmao #i will elaborate slightly: #slime added: find your flame; gas gas gas extended; waltz of the meatball man; foghorn sound effect #philza added: b.y.o.b.; throne; the melting point of wax #cellbit added: hayloft II; brazilian dança phonk (which roier literally played during purg while beating the shit out of bbh lmao) #baghera added: can you feel my heart; still waiting; and coincidentally she added 'it's been so long' (the fnaf song lol) #TO BE CLEAR THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS #baghera also added the government knows [REBELLION] and oops [CHAOS] #philza added given up [ANGUISH] #cellbit added zombie [ANGUISH] and tokyo drift [CHAOS] #slime added as above so below [ANGUISH] #it's not a perfect category; ESPECIALLY for baghera's songs i want to make that so clear in these tags #HOWEVER. it is interesting. #anyway i went after lyrics for these examples but just generally when going through the playlist the first time #i kind of learned that like. #music to murder to was probably cellbit; punk millenial music was probably philza #the wackiest shit was probably slime (was shocked to find out tokyo drift was a cellbit song for this reason lmao) #baghera's i usually could only pin down bc it didn't sound like anyone else's #and mouse's added songs i could not describe the vibe if you threatened me for it but it has one #i guess the closest vibe is 'a college radio station run by anime fans' and even then it's not that close #it kinda excludes songs like the b//ad bun//ny songs #unless college anime fans are also fans of them in which case great! #IDK IT'S 4 AM I WAS JUST MAKING MYSELF SAD ABOUT TILIN I NEED TO GO TO SLEEP #shut up vic #block game brainrot #long tags

can we please stop with the conspiracy that the government wants to ban tiktok because of pro-palestine content

do you realize how close that sounds to accusations of "zionists controlling the media" (i don't care how you frame it, it's an antisemitic conspiracy theory, please stop)

the us has wanted to ban tiktok for years because the company that owns it is chinese. they literally would let things go on as usual if they sell tiktok to an american company. that's it.

the primary driver is racism, not a conspiracy to shut down activism

#original text post do not steal #i think people forgot about the first pushes to ban tiktok #it got banned from being used on campus-owned phones at my school because they were so concerned about 'evil chinese spyware' or whatever #again: if they really wanted to shut down activism they wouldn't *just* be going after tiktok #and yes i know banning tiktok would set a dangerous precedent that would allow the us government to try other shit #but this has been going on long before recent events

I just think that if your work is getting scraped, you should be paid. Not the host website. The actual creator of the work.

If you cover a song and you try to sell that cover, you still have to pay the original songwriter their mechanical royalty. Sure, the publisher will take a cut for doing the administrative work but the writer still gets theirs too.

You can't have it both ways. It can't be art on one side of the transaction and then not be art on the other. You don't get to only use copyright law as protection to benefit corporations, and then turn around and demand it not benefit the artists making the works.

And honestly? Do you really think the AI bubble could withstand needing to actually compensate the artists that've been ripped off and rehashed? I don't.

#honestly I think statutory royalties might be the way to shut them down forever #oh no! now you have to pay people money for their work! #I know tumblr likes to treat copyright law like it's the boogeyman sometimes #but as far as legislation goes the 1976 act was actually pretty amazing for artists #like copyright reversion??? #do you understand how fucking amazing that is? #not like congress will actually do anything because the GOP is committed to being useless to prove government is useless #but uh #maybe #anti ai

Very sad Nancy and Eddie didn’t get to talk about the governments involvement with El and Barb and the lab in general because I feel like Eddie would encourage her to commit arson on the old lab building.

#Eddie ‘fuck the government’ munson and Nancy ‘shut down the lab’ wheeler would be such a dream team #stranger things #eddie munson #nancy wheeler #nancy and eddie #i think theyd be such good besties #stranger things season 4

This Terrifying Alex Jones Prediction Has Just Come True

Let me help you with that question posed by Mr Brand;

You are seeing the piloting of marshal law

When your government ceases to perform their elected positions as the public servants those positions were designed to be… well, I will let you do the math on that one

… but before you respond, read up on our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the 1st ten in our Bill of Rights; and you might want to see is there are any applicable points of interest in our CFR (Code of Federal Regulations)… I have not any patience for emotional outbursts from ignoramuses; which is what most liberals are

Trump told Republicans who are worried they will be blamed for a shutdown that they’re “wrong!!!” and predicted the public would instead blame “crooked (as hell!) Joe Biden.”

Evangelicals: Taylor Swift is blasphemous! me: yes Evangelicals: so stop listening to her! me: nah Evangelicals: WHY NOT? me: because my blorbo in the story of redemption I'm writing is a blasphemer and this song really captures the nuances of his idiosyncrasies--

#- HK #except replace Taylor Swift with Florence + The Machine #Christian F+TM listeners when they started calling TSwift listeners blasphemers: *sweating* #*surreptitiously nudging Girls Against God under the bed with their shoe* #(that song is about COVID btw; it's very interesting the parallels between concert venues being shut down and churches being shut down) #(and how world governments played God so aggressively they got people to blame God Himself for it) #x #Christianity

for all none of you who care about my magnus archives AU for my OCs. it’s set in canada and im enjoying spitballing ideas to myself.

#i think it’s significantly funnier to have the crazy superstitious organization be an official government branch #that absolutely no one gives a shit about #the red tape around shutting them down is more trouble than it’s worth so they’ve just kept trucking #not art

What have we become? Murderers, war criminals, fascists.

“As a matter of priority, Australia should suspend all arms exports to Israel until it complies with the UN ceasefire resolutions. Australia policy aspires to be a leading weapons supplier. We must be careful what we wish for because the supply of weapons that enable war crimes to a military action that has all the characteristics of a genocide make Australia complicit in those actions. Failure to prevent, or suspend these sales, shows contempt for the United Nations and contempt for the international rules based order upon which Australia endlessly pontificates.”

Suffering more than Jesus atm (being a fan of 80s/90s Suicide squad in 2024)

#god amanda waller what did they do to you.... #i KNOW i never shut up about this but GUYS ITS SO BAD #fucking WHY would you take the interesting antihero protagonist and then strip her of any redeeming quality and use her as this horrific #unforgivable villain who is treated as a hated antagonist in her own comics #WHERE SHE ISNT EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER MOST OF THE TIME #like why are you trying to make me sympathize with fucking harley quinn or smth when the actual main character is right there. why are we #turning her into this horrific villain w a million master plans making deals with the devil and shit. #we are supposed to like her. like maybe not all dc fans do because shes almost always an antagonist in other books but in her own shes the #main character!!! there should be some aspect of interest or sympathy for her. as opposed to just making her like badass or whatever #so sick of this #and its in freaking EVERYTHING right now on god i cant read other comics that are otherwise good (like ga) and enjoy them without the #obligatory intense demonification of one of my fave characters #like shes my no 6 in locg for a reason i genuinely love waller like yeah she sucks sometimes but shes INTERESTING. #this is not interesting or creative in any way what theyre doing with her #this genuinely could have been any government baddie like honestly #dont flatten 3 dimensional characters into 1 dimension (or at best like 1.5) to tell a story you tell the story around the 3d characters. #why do i need to say this. basic competent storytime #blah #amanda waller #istg i throw out another waller rant every freaking tuesday on here #suicide squad #you know what. at least we had the movie #you heard me. higher hopes for the new gunn dceu series than actual comics for the forseeable future #viola davis save me... #need to do a bit of 00s reading still to verify but on god watch this all come down to a fucking new 52 thing. like not to say that i think #thats where it all went wrong bc i need to read more to verify but i have an idea of what rlly did it and i think it was a nu52 decision #but then again maybe im stupid

#I originally made this back in November and was like ''this is really not the tone i want to bring to this issue'' and drafted it #today i saw one of my (now former) followers posting ''if you criticize Israel you're being antisemitic'' type rhetoric so im posting this #They engaged with a blog that was throwing around the term ''self hating jew'' a LOT like. Tell me again how against antisemitism you are? #I may not post about it a lot but this blog is very much pro-palestine and anti-genocide and anti-conflating-judaism-and-israel #Like the only people conflating the two are either blatant antisemites or zionists crying ''antisemisism'' to shut down criticism of Israel #Funny I never see people conflating the two to defend Jewish people against antisemitism. Only to defend Israel or to disparage Jews. #an entire worldwide religion is not the same as a government. shockingly. #santagno #sanmemeno

Genuinely need a break from this arc real quick why does One Piece delve so deep into the ethics of war this arc, like holy shit I'm gonna fucking die

#so much emotional shit been happening during the marineford arc im gonna come out of this feeling like a jaded war soldier #seeing coby having a downright full-on panic attack while bodies fall to the ground around him?? isnt this kid like 15-17 #and literally any scene where some shit happens to luffy is absolutely mortifying in nature ever since drum island #one piece sets itself up like ''lol look at these pirate friends getting into hijinks and saving each other and conquering the world!'' #but then shit gets crazy every time #i can no longer in good conscience recommend this without warning people abt how scary it gets sometimes #i feel like the first taste comes during arlong park where we see nami repeatedly stabbing herself #then with us seeing zoro's wound stapled shut and bleeding like a motherfucker as he still tries to fight #because they couldn't get professional medical help even if they probably saw his fucking guts and ribcage #but shit just keeps getting more terrifying every arc #alabasta? civil war. we see the princess of her country screaming her lungs out in vain for her people to stop fighting #sky island? mass genocide. for funsies. by a man so hopped up on delusions and apathy he thinks it's funny #water 7? we see the downfall of ohara and robin trying to Fucking Commit Suicide because she finally found ppl who like her #thriller bark--THRILLER BARK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. #seeing brook's crew sing together one last time as they all progressively drop dead one by one until only one is left #and the utter terror as we see zoro standing surrounded by his own blood in a 20 foot radius around him #impel down we see the horrors of the world government and how they treat their prisoners with layers of hell #and marineford we see a war even worse than that which we saw in alabasta #horrible horrible shit
