Announcer: Next Question goes to (government official) Aleksandr Tšaplõgin. Please.
Tšaplõgin: Thank you minister. I have a question about Russian Delfi (Estonian News Site with translation into Russian). When we open the page- ads for same-sex sex toys. Ads for swingers’ clubs. Detailed stories about porn in Estonia. Interviews with pornography actors. In your opinion, is this what state money should be going towards? Thank you.
Kristen Michal (prime minister of Estonia): Good question. The fact is that it’s often that Google and other providers offer you ads based on what you have clicked on. It may be this. Thank you.

why am i only just now learning about just how misconstrued the idea of “girl dinner” is from the original meaning
the woman who coined it used it to refer to what i can only describe as a “charcuterie board dinner” that she had with her friend (another woman). she felt that it was a “girl dinner” because her boyfriend wasn’t there—she was having dinner with her friend instead, and felt that there was less pressure to make a more “conventional” meal. the idea was that when you’re with your “girl friends” there is less pressure on you to conform to an arbitrary social expectation. hello

I think in honor of the classic AU it needs to be just as edgy as it was made to be back in the day. But also like, filled with jokes like Florida Man descendant Pacifica.

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function
Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?
Japanese: Samui desu ne?
British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?
i have to do everything around here
i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.
my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.
me: ok. i guess i get that??
this post: its like saying “innit?”
me: oh. oh no.
fun fact: afaik, “-ne” was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from “né?”, which the contraction of “não é?”, “isn’t it?”.
It’s LITERALLY “innit”.
oh so like “eh” in canadian

also there’s a difference between “thinking someone deserves to die because of their beliefs that are wrong and harmful” and “not feeling bad for the death of a terrible person who said deaths by gun violence were unfortunately worth it to keep 2nd amendment, the same person who said they would force their own three-year-old daughter to give birth to her rapist’s baby if she were to hypothetically get raped when she was ten years old, the same person whose ideology was doing harm to marginalized people”. you’re not a bad person for not feeling bad when something terrible happens to a terrible person.

Right now my thoughts are with the family of Melissa Hortman, a democrat from Minnesota who was assassinated along with her husband and her dog in the dead of night. Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) made a joke about it. There was no moment of silence, no national response. MAGA extremism kills people.
Here’s a picture of her and her dog. Sometimes it’s hard to really conceptualize these things without faces to go with the names.

I wonder why no major news outlets have focused on this story, or posted this photo of her with her golden retriever. Her dog looks just like mine. My heart is shattered every time I look at this.
Gilbert was a service dog dropout, who flunked out because he was “too friendly.” The Hortmans, of course, were thrilled to officially adopt him. He was the second retriever the Hortmans fostered and trained through Helping Paws. Their other foster dog, Minnie, was successfully placed as a veteran’s service dog. Helping Paws is always accepting donations in Melissa and Gilbert’s memory:

Donation | Helping Paws

Melissa did so much for Minnesota, and I’m so angry that her murder was mocked by Republican legislators while the assassination of a hateful podcaster who rubbed shoulders with white nationalists and Nazis somehow receives more outrage. Trump never even reached out to Walz to express condolences for Melissa. He refused to attend her funeral. Now he wants to give Charlie Kirk The Presidential Medal of Freedom. I’m so fucking angry about it.

sabertoothwalrus:

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.
I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.
But now it does.
In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.
So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.
