Good Will Jeffries 🇵🇸

American and Texan here: Americans mostly use guns to kill their whole families or random people in road rage related incidents. Lots of times we use them to kill children too. Our 2nd amendment is 50% a cyanide pill we chew on all day and 50% a vanity project for suburban morons

Mark Fischer extensively discussed this phenomenon in his works, how there was a "slow cancelation of the future". He theorized that because capitalism places a limit on what we can imagine as an alternative to it— where a future without it is rendered both unimaginable and impossible— culture as a result loops the past endessly, instead of creating something new. It quite literally cannot. It's forced to recycle the same cultural products. Only what capitalism produces is natural, real and permanent; nothing outside of it. So it has to keep going back. The future is bound to the socio-political and economic limits of its current reality— what it produces cannot be so radically different. We cannot imagine a world distinct from, or beyond it, so instead we extend the present. We keep going back to what we knew. That is why nostalgia is probably the most powerful marketing tool; it presses into something that is no longer there, but we hold onto; that we yearn for again— it exploits that bond we have to that memory/ feeling to sell us the idea that you can actually go back. Nostalgia after all in greek literally means the pain an old wound. Fisher says modern culture shows us how actual innovation isn't really possible, instead capitalist culture is only capable of imitating what came before— so it recycles, remixes, reboots— aesthetics, music, art, fasion etc. A past that we long for, yet we can not go back to. Waiting on a future that is promised, yet never arrives either (look up his writings on Hauntology).

@homuracism I don’t know, but if you did, you’d probably deserve this youtu.be/s1kMSL3yahs?si…

If you impregnate both a mother and daughter would the children be cousins or what

Hazbin Hotel seems like the type of show made to have a fandom first and tell a story second. Like it was made in a lab to guarantee people would make “character being ✨ICONIC✨for 16 minutes straight” videos about it.

If the western media stoops any lower, it might hit oil.

@ScrubcaliburIV @TunesRank It’s also revealed in the end that the Union soldiers’ drummer boy, who is treated by Barton for heat stroke and later befriends Jack and Annie, was actually their great-great-grandfather.

@ScrubcaliburIV @TunesRank I remember that one of the soldiers Clara Barton attended to on the battlefield *was* a Confederate soldier. It demonstrated how Barton’s life-saving mission wasn’t limited to just one side of the conflict.

The magic treehouse books were the perfect encapsulation of early 2000's educational multiculturalism.

@frontierism So I can see why Mary Pope Osborne’s beloved series still resonates with people to this day. It really lets you engage and comprehend the past in ways you didn’t know you could, at least as a child.

@frontierism Toussaint was (he died in 2015) also an acclaimed songwriter and producer, having written such songs as Lee Dorsey’s “Get Out of My Life, Woman” and Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights” and produced such hits as Dr. John’s “Right Place, Wrong Time” and Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.”

I know there’s a correlation between Magic Tree House books and IQ I just can’t prove it

@GroovyBruce Just like the old days with Sam, wasn’t it?

Check out the chin on that guy in the back.

"What if a drug addict used your tax dollars to get SNAP benefits?" The government uses my tax dollars to bomb villages, arm warlords, fund coups, and trafficks children through proxy states. If a "junkie" eats because of me, that's the most moral thing my taxes have done.

@Spdrmnkyxxiii @Daredevil The instant I first looked upon this image, I heard those familiar descending piano notes.

@vutkarartist There were SO many good ideas at play here, and yet the narrative dragged them all down. Kirkman really dropped the ball here.

What if…? I’m sure Doomguy is happy to help 🔥🪚 This is my fan art for the episode 4. It definitely was inspired by the soundtrack they used in the episode 🤩 #invincible #invincibleseason4
