My dad was a straight-ticket Democrat, gave money to the ACLU, and left the Catholic church when his local parish prioritized a new, bigger church over hungry parishioners. He was VERY liberal.ย 
He voted for Al Gore in 2000.
In 2004 (when he was 75yo) an injury forced him to spend time at an assisted living facility for rehab. The TVs there were all tuned to Fox News.
All it took was six months.
Upon his release thatโ€™s all he watched. He obsessed over Fox. Became convinced liberals were out to destroy HIS America.
From 2004 onwards I watched my liberal dad โ€“ the guy who imbued me with my beliefs and values โ€“ decline into a ranting, angry, hateful person.ย 
He almost died alone because I told him I simply could NOT stand to hear any more about how Obama was ruining the country. He relented, and I said goodbye to him in 2011 at his hospice, only because we agreed not to discussย โ€œpoliticsโ€.
Fox News is pure 100% brainwashing. Iโ€™ve seen it up close, and it is evil.

Thanks, Ronald Reagan, for abolishing the Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters.ย  If youโ€™re looking for the innocuous-looking beginning of all this crap, thatโ€™s where you find it: in 1987.

The Judiciar.

A Judiciar is not only a supernal swordsman, able to cut down foes with but a single blow of his brutal-looking executioner relic blade, but he has an all-new item of esoteric wargear โ€“ the tempormortis. You donโ€™t need to be an expert in High Gothic to know that this means itโ€™s something he can use to manipulate time and ensure the death of his quarry.ย ย 


Now this is just straight up unfair for all other players


Yep. Knowing gw theyโ€™ll use it to kill of all named xenos characters so they donโ€™t have to make the buts for them and can free more space to making marines to wank off marines more


Weโ€™re all just waiting for Cato Shitarius to kill the Necron bossbot and then become primarisGW is so fucking DUMB. And so are those specific Space Marine famboys that are complaining that their new shit looks ridiculous. BE HAPPY THAT YOU EVEN GET ANYTHING POSTER BOY. 


The only complaint by marine fans Iโ€™ve seen that actually has merit was about the โ€œwhat the fuck is going on with assault intercessorsโ€ (Given usually โ€œassault marinesโ€ have jump packs and these ones donโ€™t (which I suppose also makes them useless for conversions))And I would like Cato to perrish


Wait. THAT JUDICATOR IS A FUCKING ULTRAMARINE TOO. 


Of course it is

The Judiciar.

A Judiciar is not only a supernal swordsman, able to cut down foes with but a single blow of his brutal-looking executioner relic blade, but he has an all-new item of esoteric wargear โ€“ the tempormortis. You donโ€™t need to be an expert in High Gothic to know that this means itโ€™s something he can use to manipulate time and ensure the death of his quarry.ย ย 


Now this is just straight up unfair for all other players


Yep. Knowing gw theyโ€™ll use it to kill of all named xenos characters so they donโ€™t have to make the buts for them and can free more space to making marines to wank off marines more


Weโ€™re all just waiting for Cato Shitarius to kill the Necron bossbot and then become primarisGW is so fucking DUMB. And so are those specific Space Marine famboys that are complaining that their new shit looks ridiculous. BE HAPPY THAT YOU EVEN GET ANYTHING POSTER BOY. : feniczoroark:

back the fuck up


Thereโ€™s another story that I like about a Chinese general who had to defend a city with only a handful of soldiers from a huge enemy horde that was in all likelihood going to steamroll the place flat within hours of showing up.
So when said horde did arrive, they saw the general sitting outside the cityโ€™s open gates, drinking tea. The horde sent a couple of emissaries over to see what was what, and the general greeted them cheerfully and invited them all to come and take tea with him.
The horde decided that this was a scenario that had โ€œMASSIVE FUCKING TRAPโ€ written all over it in beautiful calligraphy and promptly fucked off.
Whoever that general was, he was clearly the Ancient Chinese equivalent of Sam Vimes.


did he just invite us over for tea nah man iโ€™m out


This just keeps getting better

I fucking love history.

ok but tbh that story misses a lot of the subtlety of the situation like ok
so this story is the Romance of Three Kingdoms, and essentially takes place between Zhuge Liang, resident tactician extraordinaire, and Sima Yiโ€ฆ OTHER resident tactician extraordinaire.
The two were both regarded as tactical geniuses and recognized the other as their rival. Zhuge Liang had a reputation for ambushing the SHIT out of his opponents and using the environment to his advantage, thus destroying large armies with a small number of men. Sima Yi (who kind of entered the picture later) was a cautious person whose speciality was unravelling his opponentโ€™s plans before they began. So it was natural that the two would butt heads; however, since Sima Yi tended to have more men and resources, he started winning battles against the former. Which, yโ€™know, kinda sucked.
On to the actual story: Zhuge Liang is all like โ€œshit i gotta defend this city with like 10 men.โ€ Literally if he fights ANY kind of battle here, he WILL lose; his only option for survival is not to fight. And thatโ€™s looking more and more impossible until he hears that his rival is leading the opposing army. And then he gets this brilliant idea. He basically opens all the gates, sends his men out in civilian clothes to sweep the streets, and sits on top of the gate drinking tea and chilling out and basically makes the whole thing out to be a trap
When Sima Yi comes heโ€™s all like โ€œyo come on in broโ€
and Sima Yi is like โ€œyeah heโ€™s never been that obvious about his traps before. this is definitely a bluffโ€ and heโ€™s about to head in when he realizes
wait. he knows that i think heโ€™s bluffing.
and so he gets it in his head that maybe, just MAYBE, Zhuge Liang has this cunning plan that will wipe out his army - recall that he has a pretty good handle on what his rival is capable of. And after a long period of deliberation (which is just like โ€œhe know that I know that he knows that etc.โ€), being the cautious man he is, SIma Yi eventually decides to turn his entire army around and leave.
Zhuge Liang later points out that the plan wasย based specifically on the fact that he was facing his rival; if it had been anyone else, thereโ€™s no way it would have worked. A dumber or less cautious person would have simply charged in and won without breaking a sweat.ย 
and thatโ€™s the real genius here: it was a plan formed entirely justย to deceive one man, and it worked.

Zhuge Liang is the most brilliant, sneaky-ass bastard in history. One time his sideโ€™s army was out of arrows, which pretty much meant they were screwed. So Zhuge Liang goes and does the logical thing, which is build a fuck ton of scarecrows and put them all on boats. Then he makes the men hide in the boats and sail them out on the river.
Well, that day was super foggy (which Zhuge Liang had predicted. Did I mention he was also a freakishly accurate meteorologist?). So the enemy across the river sees a fleet of boats armed to the teeth with what appears to be half an army of men. They panic! and start firing arrows like crazy.ย 
Zhuge Liang lets this play out for a while, then heโ€™s like, โ€Ok guys thatโ€™s enough.โ€ They calmly turn the boats around and go back to base, where they dismantle the scarecrows and pull out all the enemyโ€™s arrows.
Zhuge Liang is legend.

I love this post. It just keeps getting better. Like seriously, I would have adored learning about this in World History.

If you want to see this in cinematic glory, watch Red Cliff.
Especially since it makes Zhuge Liang look like this:
Red Cliff is 50% bloody battles and 50% eye candy and about half of that eye-candy is due to Zhuge Liang

I fully support watching Red Cliff; itโ€™s gloriously silly entertainment during the battle scenes.

Guess what just got moved to the top of my watch list?? :D

Blood Angels with a glowing coffin?
Donโ€™t tell me GW will bring back Sanguinius. 

I honestly would quite like that, providing they do a good job of narratively justifying and explaining it. The follow up potential of Roboute and Lion and even the traitor Primarchs getting to see/interact with the brother they all saw as the best of them would be super interesting. Providing, again it was done well.That said, Iโ€™m also kind of into the idea that the new Cโ€™tan-looking angel thing the Necrons have is some kind of AI replication of Sangy, given it has the wings and a big spear and we know Necrontyr would make AI personalities of dead people they deeply respected, and that Szarekh really liked Sangy and thought he would have been a good Emperor.Super unlikely, but I digress. If itโ€™s done well, Sanguinius coming back would be pretty damned cool. 


I meanโ€ฆ.I guess?I would just be kinda salty if the damn Angel would return before any new Night Lords content releases.Yes I know I am beating a dead bat at this point but still


I mean, yeah, obviously loyalist Astartes oversaturation remains a pertinent and ongoing issue. Iโ€™ve been fairly vocal about that multiple times. Iโ€™m just saying that the narrative potential surrounding a Sanguinius comeback is promising. Iโ€™m intimately aware that Chaos and Xenos and Guard need more attention on multiple fronts.

every day the same telemarketing company calls us. Iโ€™ve asked to be taken off their calling list, Iโ€™ve tried to be civil, Iโ€™ve even tried to not answer the phone, yet theyโ€™ll keep calling. So nowย Iโ€™veย resorted to making the phones calls as annoying as possible for them.
Today I asked the person to hold while I got a pen and paper. As of now, theyโ€™ve been waiting 45 minutes.

Update:
I just asked him if he was still there, then when he said yes i told him i had found a pen but no paper, but that iโ€™m still looking. Itโ€™s been an hour.

I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN ON TUMBLR AND YOUTUBE WHILE THIS GUY WAITS. ITโ€™S BEEN ALMOST AN HOUR AND A HALF

Update:
After an hour and 35 minutes I told him that i had found paper, but my pen was dead. He hung up. Ah well, iโ€™ll just do it again tomorrow!

You are the future

As a former telemarketer, I can tell you that the only reason that guy hung on the line for so long was because he didnโ€™t really want to make any more calls anyway and was probably reading a book or chatting with friends while you pretended to find paper and pen. He was enjoying your mischief as much, if not more, than you were. You literally gave this guy an acceptable reason to take an hour and a half break. You are his hero. He likely only finally hung up because it was officially his break time anyway. He probably told all his co-workers about your call and theyโ€™ll be laughing about it for weeks.

Holy shit, is this a happy ending to a post where everybody actually wins?

ACTUALLY YES because according to parental unit number one, telemarketers get paid by how long theyโ€™re on the phone with someone. so you were literally helping this friend get paid by doing absolutely shit

American Girl stories were the best tbh

Dude, read the books, she and her mom freed themselves in Book 1. We donโ€™t disrespect American Girl in this house 


Donโ€™t you dare disrespect Addy, or any of my girls for that matter. American Girl used to be legit. Good stories, good dolls, good movies. 


Felicityโ€™s story was set in the beginnings of the American Revolution, and addressed the conflict that she faced when her loved ones were split between patriots and loyalists. It also covered the effects of animal abuse, and forgiving those who are unforgivable. 
Samanthaโ€™s stories centered around the growth of industrial America, womenโ€™s suffrage, child abuse, and corruption in places of power. Also, it emphasises how dramatically adoption into a caring family can turn a life around. 
Kitโ€™s story is one of my favorites. Her family is hit hard by the Great Depression, and they begin taking in boarders and raise chickens to help make ends meet. Her books include themes of poverty, police brutality, homelessness, prejudice, and the importance of unity in difficult times. 
Mollyโ€™s father, a doctor, is drafted during the Second World War. Throughout her story, friends of hers suffer the loss of their husbands, sons, and brothers overseas. Her mother leaves the traditional housewife position and works full-time to help with the war effort. They also take in an English refugee child, who learns to open up after a life of traumatic experience. 
American Girl stories have always featured the very harsh realities of America through the years. But theyโ€™re always presented honestly, yet in ways that kids can understand. They just go to show that you donโ€™t have to live in a perfect time to be a real American girl. 


Dont you fucking dare disrespect the American Girls in my house. ESPECIALLY Addy!! That was my first REAL contact with the horrors of slavery, as I read about her father being whipped and sold and her mother escaping with her to freedom, but also how freedom was still a struggle.
A slave doll. Please. Read the books. 

Donโ€™t forget Kirsten, the Swedish immigrant who had to deal with balancing her own culture and learning the english language and customs of her classmates, or Kaya (full name 

Kaya'aton'my, orย She Who Arranges Rocks) , the brave but careless girl from the Nez Perce tribe, or Josefina, the Mexican girl learning to be a healer.
And then there are the later dolls, that kids younger than me would have grown up with (I was just outgrowing American Girl as these came out), like Rebecca, the Jewish girl who dreams of becoming an actress in the budding film industry, orย 

Julie, who fights against her schoolโ€™s gender policy surrounding sports in the 70s, orย 

Nanea, the Hawaiian girl whose father worked at Pearl Harbor.
These books, these characters, are fantastic pictures into life for girls in America throughout the years, they pull no punches with the horrors that these girls had to face in their different time periods, and in many cases I learned more history from these series than social studies at school. And thatโ€™s without even mentioning the โ€œgirl of the yearโ€ series where characters are created in the modern world to help girls deal with issues like friend problems, moving, or bullying. We do NOT disrespect American Girl in this house.


American Girl is probably going to be the only exposure young girls are going to get to history from a female perspective. This is actually kind of important considering that in history classes we dont really get that exposure. We dont hear about what women felt and endured during these time periods cause schools are too busy teaching us about what happened from the male perspective, which is not unimportant, but we need both. Girls need both.



These books were such a crucial part of my childhood and shaped my love of history, which still ensures today. These books can be a young girlโ€™s first  lessons in diversity and cultural awareness (hopefully burying that insensitive โ€œweโ€™re all Americansโ€ tripe) and looking at history from more perspectives than just that taught in school. They also are an example of how women have ALWAYS been part of history, which some people would rather us not believe.
I think Kit and Kaya were the newest American Girls when I started โ€œaging outโ€ of the books, but hearing about some of these kinda makes me want to revisit them!

I wasnโ€™t gonna say anything, but you know what? 
Nah.
OP (of the tweet thread) was either a actively trying to start shit or is just a huge fucking moron. Probably both.
Iโ€™d like to point out that the company that makes American Girl dolls actually doesnโ€™t skimp when doing their research and they donโ€™t make the dolls with the intent to be offensive in any way:





I loved American Girl growing up theyโ€™re great role models and history lessons so yeah letโ€™s not cancel this for ignorant reasons

American Girl stories were the best tbh

Dude, read the books, she and her mom freed themselves in Book 1. We donโ€™t disrespect American Girl in this house 


Donโ€™t you dare disrespect Addy, or any of my girls for that matter. American Girl used to be legit. Good stories, good dolls, good movies. 


Felicityโ€™s story was set in the beginnings of the American Revolution, and addressed the conflict that she faced when her loved ones were split between patriots and loyalists. It also covered the effects of animal abuse, and forgiving those who are unforgivable. 
Samanthaโ€™s stories centered around the growth of industrial America, womenโ€™s suffrage, child abuse, and corruption in places of power. Also, it emphasises how dramatically adoption into a caring family can turn a life around. 
Kitโ€™s story is one of my favorites. Her family is hit hard by the Great Depression, and they begin taking in boarders and raise chickens to help make ends meet. Her books include themes of poverty, police brutality, homelessness, prejudice, and the importance of unity in difficult times. 
Mollyโ€™s father, a doctor, is drafted during the Second World War. Throughout her story, friends of hers suffer the loss of their husbands, sons, and brothers overseas. Her mother leaves the traditional housewife position and works full-time to help with the war effort. They also take in an English refugee child, who learns to open up after a life of traumatic experience.

This is a great idea!

this is really cool. Kids hate the big plastic keys cos theyโ€™re not interesting, they wanna see the things the grownups use all the time

I kinda want one of these.

DUDE. itโ€™s a giant fucking stim board! GENIUS.

This is brilliantย 

Shit, I might make one of these for myself

^^


This is extremely devopmentally appropriate and smart




Hey! They had a thing like this at my preschool, because not only is it a great entertainment center, its also a great tool for teaching toddlers fine motor skills.We also had a board with the fronts of shirts, jackets etc cut out and mounted so we could fool around with and learn how to use buttons, zippers, velcro etc, which meant I was dressing myself pretty early. We also had leftover keyboards, computer mice (sans cables) and a mix and match board of connector cables (bolted down and too short to strangle ourselves with) because I lived in silicon valley in the early 90โ€™s when the tech boom was happening and parents would donate computer stuff for us to fuck around with.Im looking at those gate locks up there and thatโ€™s a bit of a bespoke parenting- Dad does run the risk of teaching this toddler how to escape a gated area like the yard, but if the kid isnโ€™t prone to wandering, itโ€™s a good safety thing for him to learn.Some other things to put on a fine motor skills stimboard: doorknobs and handles, switches and buttons (esp of you can wire them up to do something- kids learn patterns way earlier than you might think), window locks and cranks, assorted textures like carpet, fabrics, those reversible sequins, pebbles, sandpaper etc, the tops of jars with different kinds of lids top open and close, and (if you can stand it) anything that makes noises.But pretty much anything that can be fiddled with, changed by touching and is safe to nom on is a good thing.An additional caveat, from my own youth: if the fine motor boards are down at toddler height, dogs, cats, most pet birds and some reptiles will also play with and learn to manipulate these things.  Which is also good mental stimulation for them but you can give your animals interesting ideas about what is ok to handle and teach them skills you might not want them to know.: gallusrostromegalus:

I canโ€™t count how many times men have humiliated me by โ€œITโ€™S JUST PERIODโ€
when looking up this article for clarification i found this one that points out that period pain is actually typically MUCH WORSE than heart attacksย - as heart attacks more commonly have dull painsย 
and, interestingly:
Period pain happens mostly because of substances called prostaglandins, Gunter explained in the post. Theyโ€™re released from the lining of the uterus and make it contract. And during these period contractions, pressure on the uterus can be just as high as it is during the โ€œpushingโ€ stage of labor, she added.โ€œSo if you need an analogy to describe period pain,โ€ Gunter wrote, โ€œuse labor or cutting your finger off without an anesthetic.โ€


โ€œIf you areย waiting for terrible, excruciating chest pain to tell you that you are having a heart attack, well, you are going to miss the heart attack,โ€ Gunter wrote. โ€œHeart attacks often produce vague symptoms or mild pain, that is why many people ignore them โ€ฆ In addition, moreย thanย 40% of womenย have no pain with heart attacks.ย It would be dangerous for women to think that a heart attack should be at least as bad as their menstrual cramps.โ€
^^^ Important point from that article. It sounds like a dramatic comparison. โ€œCramps are as bad as heart attacks?!โ€ But not only does it still actually downplay the pain many menstruating people feel, it increases the risk that those same people will ignore a heart attack because it doesnโ€™t hurt enough to worry them.



Can I add on that a lot of women think theyโ€™re suffering from menstrual cramps and do their best to go about their day when in reality their appendix is seconds away from bursting?
This happens a lot. Seriously.

And during these period contractions, pressure on the uterus can be just as high as it is during the โ€œpushingโ€ stage of labor, she added.โ€œSo if you need an analogy to describe period pain,โ€ Gunter wrote, โ€œuse labor or cutting your finger off without an anesthetic.โ€


โ€œIf you areย waiting for terrible, excruciating chest pain to tell you that you are having a heart attack, well, you are going to miss the heart attack,โ€ Gunter wrote. โ€œHeart attacks often produce vague symptoms or mild pain, that is why many people ignore them โ€ฆ In addition, moreย thanย 40% of womenย have no pain with heart attacks.ย It would be dangerous for women to think that a heart attack should be at least as bad as their menstrual cramps.โ€
^^^ Important point from that article. It sounds like a dramatic comparison. โ€œCramps are as bad as heart attacks?!โ€ But not only does it still actually downplay the pain many menstruating people feel, it increases the risk that those same people will ignore a heart attack because it doesnโ€™t hurt enough to worry them.



Can I add on that a lot of women think theyโ€™re suffering from menstrual cramps and do their best to go about their day when in reality their appendix is seconds away from bursting?
This happens a lot. Seriously.

Spent the last four hours or so starting on a new project: mapping the locations of famous horror movies set in America. Itโ€™s a work in progress, yโ€™allโ€™ see more when Iโ€™m done.
this is like when the RAF tried to figure out where to armour their bombers by looking at the distribution of bullet holes; the empty area on the map is where nobody lived to tell the tale.


It follows population density pretty closely except that the desert Southwest is over represented. Is that because itโ€™s close to Hollywood? Cheap to shoot in? High density of chupacabras?


Thatโ€™s just where the spooky is. Everything else is just noise from large populations.

Since @argumateโ€‹ brought this back, hereโ€™s what the map looks like today:
I started adding any horror movie at all, not just well-known ones. Also, itโ€™s global now!

@cominyernโ€‹ Subgenre!ย 
Red is killer/slasher/psychological
Blue is monster/creature
Yellow is ghost/spirit/demon
Green is alien
Black is zombies
Purple is vampires
It lets you look at some cool regional trends, like how ghosts are huge in New England while aliens and vampires have a cluster in the Southwest.

that the original had a lot of black in Pittsburgh is unsurprising, given where a certain George Romero came from, but it now has an interesting relative density and variety.

(i blame the Tom Savini practical effects school in Monessen, personally)



I wish this was an interactive map I want to find and watch my โ€œlocalโ€ horror movies! 

Ask and you shall receive! Hereโ€™s a link to explore the map for your local horror movies!

Spent the last four hours or so starting on a new project: mapping the locations of famous horror movies set in America. Itโ€™s a work in progress, yโ€™allโ€™ see more when Iโ€™m done.
this is like when the RAF tried to figure out where to armour their bombers by looking at the distribution of bullet holes; the empty area on the map is where nobody lived to tell the tale.


It follows population density pretty closely except that the desert Southwest is over represented. Is that because itโ€™s close to Hollywood? Cheap to shoot in? High density of chupacabras?


Thatโ€™s just where the spooky is. Everything else is just noise from large populations.

Since @argumateโ€‹ brought this back, hereโ€™s what the map looks like today:
I started adding any horror movie at all, not just well-known ones. Also, itโ€™s global now!

@cominyernโ€‹ Subgenre!ย 
Red is killer/slasher/psychological
Blue is monster/creature
Yellow is ghost/spirit/demon
Green is alien
Black is zombies
Purple is vampires
It lets you look at some cool regional trends, like how ghosts are huge in New England while aliens and vampires have a cluster in the Southwest.

that the original had a lot of black in Pittsburgh is unsurprising, given where a certain George Romero came from, but it now has an interesting relative density and variety.

(i blame the Tom Savini practical effects school in Monessen, personally)
