this is cool but why is it shot like the intro credits of a crime drama

…Dessert,  but shot like Murder.  I think I’ve found my favorite aesthetic ever.

@copperbadge

I am so baffled by this video. I just don’t get a murder vibe from it. I’ve seen it five or six times and every time people are talking about how it’s very crime-y and like, all I see are things being cooked. I am genuinely at a loss as to why the entire internet reads it like murder and I’m just sitting here, “gosh that’s some good looking chocolate.” 

I’m honestly beginning to worry that this is some kind of serial killer test and I’m failing it.

honey…. it’s because it’s shot cinematically in the same way, with the same sort of music, as shows like Numb3rs, Hannibal, Penny Dreadful, and others. Especially Hannibal and Penny Dreadful; what with the syrup-blood in tea cups and the weird red gelatin.

okay, so i’m not sure if everyone heard of what happened on the bachelor vietnam a few weeks back, but basically one contestant professed her love for another one on national TV:

at first, after the contestant minh thu professed her love for the other contestant truc nhu, they walked out of the show together:

but apparently afterwards, the bachelor quoc trung met up with truc nhu and convinced her to remain on the show, which pretty much broke hearts everywhere:

BUT i just found out that minh thu and truc nhu are officially together as a couple!!!

twentygayteen just keeps on giving!!!!

This is my favorite thing ever.

Alexa: This seems sad, now playing Despacito

Y’all need to have a greater degree of 1- healthy suspicion in Alexa and corporate surveillance devices personal assistants, and 2- understanding of how dangerous this kind of algorithm is in the hands of a multinational company (and anyone for that matter.) 

To begin with, that data is both available for sale and able to be subpoenaed by the government. Alexa’s records and recordings have already been used in criminal trials. In the US, a digital record of your emotional patterns can be used to deny you housing, jobs, and to rule on your ability to exercise your basic rights. Consider that psychiatric stigma and misdiagnosis can already be wielded against you in legal disputes and the notion of a listening device capable of identifying signs of distress for the purpose of marketing to you should be made more clearly concerning. 

Moreover we have already seen the use of algorithms like this on Facebook and other “self-reporting” (read: user input) sites capable of identifying the onset of a manic episode [1] [2] [3], which have been subsequently been linked to identifying vulnerable (high-spending) periods to target ads at these users, perhaps most famously in selling tickets to Vegas (identified in a TedTalk by  techno-sociological scholar Zeynep Tufekci where she more generally discusses algorithms and how they shape our online experiences to suggest and reinforce biases). 

The notes on this post are super concerning- we are being marketed to under the guise of having our emotional needs attended to by the same people who inflicted that emptiness on us, and everyone is just memeing.

Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home.  The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”

If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese.  Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.

You are Superman, aren’t you? Lois, look, we’ve been through these hallucinations of yours before. Can’t you see what you almost did? Throwing yourself off a building 30 stories high? Can’t you see what a tragic mistake you almost made? I made a mistake? I made a mistake because I risked my life instead of yours. Lois! Don’t be insane! And don’t fall down ‘cause you’re just going to have to get up again!
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006)

This scene features one of the best things about Chris Reeve’s portrayal, which is that he physicalized his different choices between playing Clark and Superman. Like, look at the difference:

He could go from Rick Moranis to Chris Evans with just his posture. It’s like his glasses are weighing his entire body down. Here it is, in motion:

Acting.

Lois says, “with a blank?” and Clark’s FUCKIGN FACE OMG. That is the face of a man whose only thought is “motherfucker.”

He should have known that Lois would be thorough and wouldn’t do that if she was only a little sure and he should have known that Lois wouldn’t point a gun at Clark. BLANKS. HE KNOWS SHE’S THIS SMART. FFS, CLARK. Both of them are thinking “damn son you been played” and it’s beautiful

#i’ve reblogged this like twice#and i think some people are reblogging this as a joke#but bless this man and what he stands for

how is this funny to anyone.

Those people obviously don’t realize the extremely high kill rate for cats at shelters, not to mention that people literally dump indoor cats outside when they don’t want them anymore, and indoor cats often die due to starvation/predators (duh they have no survival skills).  

Also – I might also be crying.

Jackson Galaxy is awesome. His story is is that he used to be a drug addict, and that while he was in the beginning of his recovery he saved a stray cat and nursed it back to life, and in return the cat essentially did the same for him, and ever since then, he’s taught himself everything there is to know about cats and their behavior. Cats saved his life, so he’s saving cats lives. He’s awesome.

His show has taught me more about how to take care of a cat than I learned from growing up with one.

Jackson Galaxy is the patron fucking saint of cats and I swear to god I will fight anybody coming for him.

You will catch these hands.

I don;t like when people make fun of Jackson Galaxy when he gets emotional.

Because a.) I get really fucking emotional over cats too, fuck you

and b.) it’s mostly because he’s a man and a patriarchal belief that men can’t cry or have feelings.

PLUS! He actually gives GREAT behavior advice, unlike another TV personality who works with canines and shall not be named because my blood pressure can’t handle his ass rn

Also, in addition to it being honestly GOOD ADVICE, he’s nonviolent and makes a point of nonviolence. He does what he can to find the cats’ line of aggression and then doesn’t cross it, to show the animal “hey, I’m respecting your space but I need to know what your issue is.” (canid asshole who shall remain nameless… the opposite of that.)

He doesn’t grandstand or try to “dominate” the cat. He does what he can to understand their behavior and why they’re acting out. Then creates a safer, calmer environment so the cat can relax and just… yknow… BE A CAT. 

Not every cat is going to cuddle. Not every cat is going to sit on your lap and purr for hours while you read. That’s fine. But an aggressive animal is often a scared or uncertain animal, and he’s proving that most cats aren’t dicks just to be dicks…. and I say that as the owner of a very dickish cat. 

{we know what her issues are, unfortunately, she’s inbred as all fuck; feral colony; and is just kinda neurotic. she’ll hopefully do better with more play time and space to herself, which is why I’m taking mephi-butt with me for a year to see how she does. she’s learned “how to cat” from him, more or less, and she’s mellowed out some. but lying in wait to bite us and attacking us for crossing a room she’s not even in is… not great.)

So can we get rid of the fucking video autoplay feature

this is the sixth fucking TIME I have seen that needles + VR post and tbph if I never see a needle that fucking long disappearing into a child’s arm ever again it will be too FUCKING SOON
