Here’s an idea:
This smbc comic describes a scenario where consumers are able to purchase ad skips. For a small fee, you can pay the company to not show you that ad again. It quickly descends into madness as companies become incentivized to air deliberately upsetting commercials to generate profit.
Let’s try that again, with some minor adjustments.
Every time you encounter a digital advertisement, you have the option to spend five cents (or a comparable sum) to never see that advertisement again. This money wouldn’t go to the company; it would go to some third party (e.g. state or federal government). Meanwhile, the company that put out the advertisement would be fined an identical amount for every ad blacklisted. If the company actually has something useful to say (e.g. “The McRib is back”), it’s still in their best interest to advertise digitally even if the ad gets blacklisted. If they have nothing to say (e.g. “Walmart exists”), they hemorrhage money while getting nothing in return. If you actually like the company and want to stay updated… well, that’s what subscribing to a company’s email newsletter is for.
Every time you receive a piece of junk mail, you can mail it by post (support the USPS) to a specialized ad-control agency. This blacklists the company from advertising to you by mail entirely, and subsequent offenses (sent in to the agency by the recipient) incur heavy fines until you’re removed from their mailing list.
Advertising on trains and bus stops should be kept to a minimum and be permitted only if the company in question helps subsidize some percentage of the municipal operating costs.
Billboards and other advertisements in any other public spaces should be banned.

i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Wtf????
Smoove with it too
This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
“Pathetic. You can’t even hold the bat you dare step to the plate? Have you no respect for the sport?”
reminds me of this gif
Baseball players are to be feared
Reblogging for the last one
^Same for me
They just kept getting progressively more “woah”
much woah
Oh my god this is a lucky universe
every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”
Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird

i am going to lose my fucking shit white queer goyim stop rewriting history to center themselves challenge.
Magnus Hirschfeld (1868–1935) was a German JEWISH doctor and a leading researcher of sex, sexuality, and gender. He wrote and lectured widely on these topics, treated and advised patients, and worked to promote the rights of those who did not conform to existing gender or sexual norms. After Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933, Hirschfeld was forced to live in exile. The Nazis vandalized his Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and forced it to close.
Not only have Jews been targets for millennia so saying ‘x non jewish group was targetted first is ahistorical, Jews have been blamed for queerness and targeted for “corrupting” gentiles into it for a long time and the Nazis bought into that and their attack on queer people was rooted in and inseparable from antisemitism

So IDK if people will understand this concept but I made “corner pins”
Basically they are tiny pins with TWO posts on them, and you use them to hold up mementos like instax/photos/tickets etc without having to puncture them, and without having to pinch them with the metal or the push pin edge etc. You can simply rest the corner of the item between the posts gently!
These are the cute ribbon/bow ones, I also made some others that i think would be really cool on your mementos ToT
Let me know what you think about this concept?? I don’t know how to market it but i really thought it was a nice idea T_T. You can find them in my store here

Hearing them get so excited over the whale fall is so fun I love hearing people who are passionate about their work
Fascinating to see how low energy this ecosystem is. This is the greatest bounty these animals will probably see in their lives, and they’re sleepily shuffling toward it, because their body literally lacks the energy to move any faster than that. To them it probably feels like breakneck speed.
