some USAmericans really have no idea how fucking hard it is to obtain a visa, how “filling out the papers” can literally take years, how skewed the process is, how it favours white immigrants and disfavours immigrants of colour. if it was so easy, people wouldn’t be trying to enter the country illegally, risking their lives to get their family to a place with better living conditions.

Lil’ Kim revealed on Lizzo’s new Spotify podcast that Michael Jackson wanted to collaborate with her for his next album after he heard ‘Queen Bitch’ and loved it, But said Puffy was her manager at the time and was super controlling & wasn’t here for it. She said MJ’s producers kept trying to call him saying they wanted her on the album as did she… P. Diddy ruined Kim’s opportunity to be on Sisqo’s ‘Thong Song’ and now Michael’s album.
When I see diddy:

Oh woow Im swinging on this nigga if I ever catch him in public

The best part is they even mentioned his actual Native American heritage: He’s a Lakota.

“A Lakota; not as tall as the Cheyenne, not as fine featured as the Crow.” -The Colonel, Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.

This movie does not get enough credit or recognition..

little creek was voiced by a native american VA, and the directors / producers etc etc did a lot of research on the Lakota people and had background characters speak the native language in a few scenes

and lets not forget that little creek is a protagonist and the white colonial americans are the bad ones

i’ll never get over the fact that there’s a movie called “snakes on a plane” and in that movie there’s a line that is, verbatim, “ive had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane”.

that is absolutely bonkers. that’s ridiculous. that’s like making a movie called “gators in the sewer” and having someone in the movie say “im getting really sick and tired of these fucking gators in the sewer”

the funny part is that the alternate title was something mundane like “flight 93″ and samuel l. jackson made the director change it back to “snakes on a plane” bc he said it was the only reason he auditioned

oh my god, the youth have forgotten that there was a huge viral phenomenon when this movie was being filmed, where the internet got wind of the working title snakes on a plane, and a) demanded that title be made official, b) CAME UP WITH the line about these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane, and c) GOT THE LINE INCLUDED IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE

You forgot the part where three up and coming bands in the emo scene collaborated to write a song called Snakes On a Plane and filmed a music video of themselves smuggling snakes onto a plane, and it practically launched all of their careers.

If you think for one second of my worthless life I have forgotten “Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)” released by Cobra Starship (2006) then you can think the fuck again

Has it really been long enough that people forgot what a meme this movie was?!

I still don’t understand people who think it’s perfectly acceptable to outright torture “unpleasant” animals. I’m not saying you can’t smack mosquitoes, but pulling their wings off alive, going out of your way to make sure they die slowly, is creepy and horrible to do no matter what. They aren’t bloodsucking parasites specifically to spite you, they aren’t being cruel or mean. Any animal deserves at least a quick death if it has to die, and you can’t say “that’s just a bug” because I’ve definitely seen almost everybody come together with rage over cruelty towards butterflies or ladybugs..

People show the same attitude towards reptiles, rodents, anything they don’t like, as if an animal being dangerous or inconvenient is an actual act of “evil” on that animal’s part and they have to suffer some kind of karmic punishment for …….the way they evolved I guess?

I’ve even heard of people getting stung by a jellyfish and going out of their way to leave it in the sun to dry up and die. We don’t know what if anything jellyfish can “feel” but that doesn’t make an act like that any less twisted. That overall senseless, spiteful obsession with vengeance is just creepy as shit.

I am deeply uncomfortable with anyone who does this kind of vengeance cruelty under the banner of ‘it’s just a __’. Just the pure intent and anger shown through such cruel action will make me immediately, deeply not trust a person.

theres a big martian dust storm rn and its not clear if opportunity will survive

sci fi writers: humans dont care about robots

me, crying: OPPORTUNITY HONEY YOU CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU

Important clarification

1) Mars Rovers have to run heaters constantly (especially at night) because Mars is cold and they have sensitive electronics. Opportunity has had to shut down its heater because it hasn’t been able to draw enough power over the past few weeks; the danger is that Opportunity may not survive the few days its expected for the dust storm to clear up. The other currently operating rover, Curiosity is younger and has more advanced panels, batteries, and, most importantly, an onboard RTG (tl;dr: nuclear power source) that means dust storms aren’t as threatening to it. Opportunity has some radioactive heaters too, but they’re older, smaller, and have less power output. It’s survived dust storms in the past but every one is always a risk.

and 2)

THEIR OFFICIAL TWITTER CALLS IT OPPY, OPPY I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

This is why I constantly say the whole trope of “robots as slaves to humans” and all that is bullshit because the instant one of our cute idiot mechanical children is in danger we have a goddamn conniption, even WITHOUT AI.

Oppy has stopped responding as of last night (it’s currently Wednesday, June 13, 2018). There is some hope that he will recharge when the dust storm passes, but that’s going to take a while

In a press conference last week, NASA officials said they expect Opportunity will survive the dust storm. Without a steady supply of sunlight, the biggest risk for Opportunity would be freezing in the Martian cold. But it’s almost Martian summer at Opportunity’s location, and temperatures are not expected to dip below the danger level, NASA officials have said.

“Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, say they remain optimistic Opportunity can survive.“
That little trooper has been running around mars for FOURTEEN AND A HALF YEARS. We lost contact with her “twin sister” Spirit eight years ago. Both rovers were only promised to last 90 Martian days (92.5 Earth days). Assume that the contact from June 11 was the last we’ll ever hear, that’s 5,675 percent.
This is making me a little stressed, I won’t lie.

Yeah people refuse to acknowledge that Black people are speaking not gibberish but complex languages and dialects that formed over hundreds of years.

One of my fave profs talked about even the word dialect vs language and which languages get called dialects or creoles and how it’s then used to diminish the credibility of languages made by people of color

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 12:53:30 -0700

thisiseverydayracism:

Speaking as someone born in the last years of a dictatorship, you Americans are already several steps in one.
Ferdinand Marcos’ greatest trick was convincing people all protesters were communist animals, so when they went missing, few cared. Even after bodies were discovered.
These white people & journalists talking about being civil? These were the rich people, the Fil-Chinese, the mestizos in the Philippines who knew they won’t be affected by many of Marcos’ policies, and therefore could ignore them even as the killings started.
Marcos was also adept at convincing regular Filipinos that “as long as you don’t commit crimes I won’t come for you. I’m only getting rid of the ‘filth’.” He lied, of course. He jailed his most vocal opponents, people whose businesses he wanted to confiscate for his use.
But Filipinos have always been susceptible to strongman personality cults, just like your Republicans.
(Yeah don’t @ me on this one, Repubs still singing Reagan’s praises despite the fact he was FRIENDS with Marcos and helped him retain power, making it 1000x worse for us.)
White people, journalists who insist on civility- you seem to think civility is a common ground you share with opponents like Trump et al. Here’s a clue - whenever you offer these assholes middle ground, they will invade that space & then claim you never gave them ground at all.
Marcos kept pushing. First it was all protesters were communists. All student protesters. Then it was the free press. Then it was the people with businesses he coveted. And then it was anyone who looked at Imelda Marcos or his daughter, Imee, wrong. Arrested, raped, murdered.
And every step of the way there were the same kind of fuckwits here twittering on about how people should be civil, SURELY Marcos wouldn’t go that far, the economy is flourishing surely it can’t be THAT bad.
“It didn’t happen to ME, so it must not be bad.” up till Martial Law.
White people asking for performative civility do the same thing they did, for the same reason - they’re afraid. You’ve never been raised to fear discrimination or prejudice against a system that has always been built in your favor for centuries.
Your argument for civility is a terrified lashing out against an uncertain future that your ancestors / fellow white people have subjected people of color to for centuries. It’s built in POC culture to learn how to cope with this. You’ve had none, because you’ve never needed to.
Because regardless of whether you want it or not, status quo benefits white people best. In any upheaval, white people have the least casualties. That makes them the last demographic wanting to rock the boat, even if the boat is full of Nazis steering it straight into Auschwitz.
Because you know Auschwitz isn’t going to be for you. It’s gonna be Auschwitz for a lot of people in that same boat you’re on, but you know that’s not for you. And that’s why you can afford to be compliant.
And here’s the kicker: YOU KNOW THEY’RE NOT CIVIL. That’s why it’s the liberals you keep appealing to for decorum and politeness. You know you’re not going to get most Trumpsters on board anything amounting to basic decency.
So you shift the goalposts, and you enable the gaslighting, even if inadvertently. “Maybe if YOU hadn’t been so rude they wouldn’t have done that.”
Bullshit. You KNOW they’ll do it anyway because again, your goddamn status quo.
People invested in putting kids in cages don’t want your civility. They don’t want you to extend them the same courtesy they never had - and never wanted - from you. What they want is for you to retreat.
And every ground you grudgingly give, hoping that they’ll construe that as some good faith on your part, is only an incentive for them to push harder until you have no ground left.
Then they’re going to tell you they’ve owned the land all along.
“So much for the tolerant left.” This is why they say this all the fucking time. This is the bait they expect you to fall for. Your required “tolerance” for the things they do, even as they do the exact opposite to you.
The first requirement when approaching any discussion with civility is that both sides must come to the table with it. The side that advocates putting kids in cages and are now thinking of stripping citizenship from legal green card holders, never had that to begin with.
Now: if you are REALLY invested in still keeping civil after this, there are countless unaffiliated Red Hen places in the US (+one in Canada) being egged, getting death threats, etc.
Try discussing “civility” with those people this time, & see how well that works out for you.
