The Sandman promotional poster based on 1-star Google reviews + what one reviewer thought the show should be named instead
“I never thought this would happen to me” says tumblr user who regularly posts in The Sandman tags knowing full well Neil Gaiman looks through the tags
Bees choose to live in the box where they know damn well that a large fraction of the honey will periodically be removed, instead of simply leaving that place like they are perfectly able to do, because the human box comes with an invulnerable titan to guard them against all threats. The bees consider the payment offered to this colossal mercenary to be a pretty good deal.
People making typos in groupchats and then getting whaled on is extremely funny unless I am the one making the typo, in which case you guys are not funny and being very immature
Not to sound like an old fart here but my philosophy about video games is like. A kid living out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with no internet access for miles should be able to purchase a game from walmart, take that game home, put it in their console, and play the whole game with all of its features and the only thing lack of internet affects is the inability to play online with others. Nothing else. They shouldn’t be missing entire chunks of the game becuase they can’t download a patch. The game shouldn’t be borderline empty or unplayable without a patch.
I guess it makes no difference if I reblog this now but our friend here said a normal, objectively correct thing about video games and somehow this post still blew up with some goofy as hell disagreements. Sorry but most video game studios these days are pushing out lazy products and it is not normal for a game you buy to need DLC or patching to work; the PSX and the N64 and the original Xbox all got by without that shit being routine.
I literally hate knowing that that’s not just a reaction gif, that he’s literally in character as the CEO of Oreo having a mental breakdown about literally the topic of this post.
“my child is fine” your child has long ebony black hair with purple streaks and red tips that reaches her mid-back and icy blue eyes like limped tears
“my child is fine” your child understood this reference
I suppose “I only know that reference because I’ve been on tumblr a decade plus, now, and not because i read the thing” really doesn’t help my case.
its so funny to me that people on twitter n tiktok are like “ok but porns still banned on tumblr so at least we’re better then them” as if they dont have to typ3 w0rd$ I1k3 th!$ to get around their censors

you guys. if you haven’t been following the mar a lago fbi raid saga this week you have really been missing out. it came out monday night that the fbi had spent the day collecting boxes of documents from mar a lago and maga world lost it. “this is war”, hard right demands to abolish the fbi, insane posturing, every single pundit on the record saying “if this search was for anything short of the nuclear codes, this is going to massively backfire on the biden administration” (foreshadowing!). eventually report comes out that people close to trump are quietly telling the rest of the gop to dial it back just a hair, because things might get worse before they get better. most crucially is that the susan collinses of the world are demanding accountability from the justice department, demanding that they explain why this raid was warranted. (notably, trump himself has the warrant describing exactly what the fbi was there to collect, and is free to share that with the world at any point - the judge/doj is typically barred from making that public at any point, so by hounding the wrong figures for the warrant they’re thinking they can control the narrative.)
not so. today, attorney general merrick garland makes a statement saying you know what? you guys are so right. there’s actually significant public interest in making the details of this warrant - why a former president was raided by the fbi - public knowledge. so with your blessing, mr trump, i am asking the judge who signed the warrant (he and his synagogue have been getting death threats already btw, rot in hell forever you maga fuckwits) to unseal the warrant. trump, you have until 3pm friday to publicly object to this action. love and light, merrick
and then wapo reported tonight that the warrant was for, among other things, nuclear documents. yeehaw
As someone who has been following this situation with a bag of popcorn, I need to go off about what makes this so goddamn bizarre
So the context obviously: Trump’s main residence, his home at Mar-A-Lago resort, was raided by the FBI for documents that he shouldn’t possess. The FBI raiding a former president’s home is completely unprecedented.
This is NOT an easy task. It requires substantial levels of support from a judicial system that is primarily owned by Trump’s appointees and significant evidence to suggest that a law was broken and a raid was the only remaining option to prove it.
Trump and his supporters’ first complaints were that “This is completely unnecessary!” and they demanded the FBI release the warrant details–despite Trump being capable of releasing the warrant details himself. They just preferred the publicity of being able to blame the FBI for it
The FBI released the warrant details to Trump’s request on Friday, revealing that, holy shit, they retrieved top-secret files including among them information on US nuclear weapons, some of which I’ve seen implied to be the highest level of classified possible
Trump is being investigated for 3 potential crimes, which are (in summary) concealment or mutilation of government records, destruction of evidence, and violations of the Espionage act. That could be interpreted as spying, but at the very least, it suggests the distribution of fragile government information to other countries
The question now is not whether a law was broken. We know for a fact that he illegally possessed documents. The question now is what law(s) were broken, and who to blame (whether Trump himself or those that were handling documents for him)
Generally, complaints by his followers have transitioned to “Okay so he broke the law–but why was a raid necessary to prove it” and they’re demanding to see the evidence that led up to it. They will never be satisfied
Something they like to keep claiming is that a raid wasn’t necessary because Trump was being “cooperative” with the FBI because he handed over some documents earlier this year. For context, the FBI subpoenaed documents Trump possessed, and he handed over some of them. Some. His supporters like to use this to claim that he was being cooperative even though it literally shows that he was being untrustworthy in his negligence to hand over everything he should have.
They often demand that the FBI could have retrieved the documents more peacefully… even though they literally did issue a subpoena for them and he didn’t fulfill it. They could not have done more. This was the last option.
Trump has complained about corruption in the Judicial branch… despite the Court being majorly his appointees, and the fact that he himself appointed the FBI director who approved the raid
He illegally possessed files on US nuclear weapons. Some of his followers have gone so far as to claim “but not all nuclear information is that bad! He could have had things that were harmless!”
Trump has simultaneously baselessly implied that the FBI planted evidence while also claiming that he had legal right to possess those files and demanding they be returned. You can’t have it both ways chap
The only way the FBI could’ve known about the documents was if someone very close to Trump disclosed it to them. I’ve seen a lot of estimates that only 4-8 people have that kind of information. This means Trump has to be paranoid about a traitor very close to him which is hilarious and fun to see
Many of his supporters have claimed that the Judicial system is rigged and that the FBI should be defunded and arrested… ignoring the fact that, you know, he illegally possessed top-secret government files. Police brutality against people of color is fine, but God forbid the FBI stops someone from carelessly possessing classified nuclear weapons documents!
i cant stress enough how absolutely bizarre it is to see people admitting that he did break a law but they somehow think it’s “political” for the FBI to catch him for it
He likes to claim that Barack Obama had possessed millions of government files as if it’s some kind of gatcha argument when the documents in question were actually in the safe possession of a National Archives facility… not Obama’s house
He had top-secret nuclear weapons documents in his house?????
Generally, Trump’s supporters have either polarized in his defense or are just at a loss for words. Many have gone silent and quietly withdrawn their support. Some have admitted they’re concerned about the FBI’s findings. Others are blindly following his weird claims to the point of violent extremism (which looks great for someone who’s already being investigated for organizing a coup!)
