I'd like to be happy that Trump got ousted, because seriously gently caress that guy, but I see no difference with Biden so all I get is bitterness and depression.

SO instead I'm going to rewatch all of the Mark Remark, which was amazing online creator content. It's all on youtube, watch it if you never did.

I dunno, I'm happy to laugh at crying chuds and all but I genuinely do think it's bad to be all 'I'm so glad to have empathy back in the white house' because that's literally how we all stopped paying attention to poo poo like Obama building concentration camps and droning the poo poo out of the Islamic world and it's really a major fear for, ya know, people without PBS shows, that that's gonna happen with most of our allies.

hoping for good things does not automatically mean that you’re going to ignore bad things and the phrase “there’s a lot of work to be done” in fact signifies an intention not to ignore bad things.

In fairness, T1J is a political commentator, pretty much, even if he doesn't get posted much in here.

Not to continue the derail, because it should probably stop, but note that some people are having a hard time just kicking back and enjoying it because all of the shittest Dems also didn't wait a day to start attacking AOC and the left and blame them for Biden not winning all 50 states.

It would have been nice to just have a straight day off to enjoy it though, I agree.

Shame that there aren't more videos kicking around. The curse of the end of the month video dump, I guess. ManyATrueNerd's videos are usually solid, but I really liked the look at Teardown he did a few days ago. Lots of fun with physics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxTVdUoDBFg and also a game that my potato of a computer will never be able to play.

also this, it's a pretty loving hard trick to kick back when the fascists Joe Biden made alliances with like loving Kasich and Powell instantly went all 'hey I know the only major losses were from lovely centrists who avoided M4A and poo poo, and in fact the progressive caucus grew during this pathetic excuse for a 'victory' you sold your soul for, but Joe's gonna put those stupid progressive commies in their place!'

There was something comforting about tumblr mostly being populated by teenagers and "deep internet" fandom adults like 5+ years ago. I guess the hope the kids would grow out of it, while the adults were just isolated weirdos and not major public figures making asses of themselves for our amusement? Having such a young but very progressive population at least made me think most of the kids are alright at least.

tumblr is better than ever now bc everyone bonkers left for twitter ages ago. yesterday it was on fire bc the cw television show "supernatural" confirmed after like 12 years that a gay ship between two characters was canon and after the gay angel confessed his love to weirdly aggro protagonist he got covered in black cgi goop and went to turbo-hell, a hell worse than hell.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I was ready to watch Trump break down like an ace attorney villain, but the democratic centrists trying to roll poo poo downhill on the people that helped save their bacon really pissed me off.

Anyway, I agree that the internet was a much better place when there were a dozen message boards, imageboards, and other places instead of just twitter.

I really dug the show when it started but I dipped out when it became clear that every series would end with one/both of the brothers going to hell/heaven/purgatory and have a season long arc recovering from the experience before it happened again. I think this was somewhere around series 5.

Oh no, I'm sure the level of writing has never bothered aging with whatever audience followed it from the beginning.

Ah right, I forgot it's on Netflix and we live in an age where shows can never truly die because of that.

Supernatural has this thing it shares with TWD and probably Grey's Anatomy where every now and then they do something major to a big-name character and then the show pops back into public consciousness because even though you haven't watched it for years now, holy poo poo they just killed Glenn!

Season 5 is where the original show runners dropped out and it kind of is a perfect end for the goofy fun monster hunting show that it started out as.

And then it kept going.

For a loving decade.




But also I dunno why people keep harping on the Goop Double Hell poo poo. That's just where angels go when they die. The gay angel has already been resurrected from that place once before. It aint nothing.

Apparently? There's a thing called the Emptiness ?? that kills you and drags you into Hella Hell when you find your true happiness or something? And Castiel's moment of happiness was confessing his feelings for Dean.

It is as amazingly dumb as it sounds and made Tumblr, which was already teetering on the utter brink of unsanity after Electionukkah lasted three whole nights (at the time!), completely fall into teeming chaos.

Is it true that being truly happy would have sent him to super angel turbo Hell at any time, which I guess is why he waited until he was already dying to confess, or was my sister just messing with me?
