HEY NATIVES! heads up for those going to see Killers of the Flower Moon
haven’t seen it yet myself, but a friend just gave me the rundown:
-SUDDEN OWLS ON SCREEN, twice apparently? also appeared to be screech owls, no less.
-a very intense and violent rant by DiCaprio that features the S-slur.
definitely sounds like a tough movie for ndns to watch overall, but these two things stood out to me. might be good to know… if you have owl taboos or are very traumatized by the S-slur, please take care of yourself. maybe wait for it to hit streaming services next month so you can control your experience a bit better.
“Thinking about how wild plants do complex optimisation and communication and all that cognition happens in the roots, and grains have tiny shallow roots because we’re breeding them for the edible parts
Wheat is bimbofied grass”
possibly even more true of plants where the edible part is the root, like carrots, since––as he points out––they’re bred to have thicc juicy sugary roots that grow in straight simple shapes
technically I suppose all domestication exists at a strange nexus of neotenization and bimbofication
:/
are you saying that domestication is the same phenomenon that makes the Fate series turn historical figures into big tiddy anime girls? is that the implication here?
agriculture is humanity’s oldest form of gacha. plant your quartz and hope for the weather necessary to guarantee an ssr harvest
I haven’t been able to get the full video but we just celebrated one of our steam locomotives turning 145 by chucking a chocolate cake into her firebox
So I know this post is from 2018, and I’ve gone on and on about it haunting me (it does still, and I don’t even work there anymore), but I think all these years later and so close to her own birthday, she deserves to be seen for the gorgeous locomotive she is.
She’s beautiful, we adore her, and she’s going to be 149 this year! Happy birthday, lady!
Hey guess what bitches Poland had a general election last Sunday and we said “fuck you” to the current fascist Orban-wannabes en masse, in a record-breaking historic turnout of 74% (that’s a better turnout than the 1989 election which toppled the Soviet regime), with people of all ages standing in lines till 3 am to vote, young people actually outnumbering the elderly for the first time ever; and the result is that the progressive pro-EU coalition won and will form the next government. Been in in a stunned-but-celebratory mood since Sunday night.
