Scenario. Jerry Seinfeld writes and produces a gritty war movie. It’s weird, given his earlier work, but not a bad movie. The script is pretty solid. Time passes, and Seinfeld dies. After his death it comes out that before the 2016 election, he had written a book on governance strategy and had sent it to Hillary Clinton in hopes that she would be impressed and hire him as an aide. The book is published, and because of his celebrity status, people are fascinated by it. It works its way into the body of theory, and eventually comes to be viewed as the central piece of governance theory from the 21st century. Even after Seinfeld is forgotten, this book lives on. It’s the year 2647 and you just overheard somebody calling a particular governing strategy “Seinfeldian.”
This is literally what happened to Machiavelli.
Which is sad, because “The Mandrake” was a pretty good bedroom farce.
hi so jews for jesus has been coming and terrorizing the area north of toronto where I live and now they’ve started dropping off these unsolicited packages.
this is blatant antisemitism I never see tumblr talking about. messianic judaism isn’t judaism; its christians trying to convert jews to christianity. if you get one of these, throw it out. expose them. call jews for judaism and let them know what’s going on.
yesterday I had two old ladies get upset that coffee isn’t 10 cents anymore.
like right now I’m trying to remember if I have ever bought anything for 10 cents or even seen anything that was only worth 10 cents. What century did they crawl out of
If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can’t humans be summoned by ants? The answer is they should be.
Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house I’d certainly notice, try to figure out where they’d all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there.
That’s why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name.
And they’re like, you can’t leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals – now you have to do us a favor.
And you’re like, let’s just see where this goes “yup, you got me… what’s the favor?”
and usually the favor is like, “kill this one ant for us” or “give me a pile of sugar” and you’re like… okay? and you do, because why not, it isn’t hard for you and boy is this going to be a fucking story to tell, these fucking ants chanting your name and wanting a spoonful of sugar or whatever.
And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can’t really do, one of them, she’s like, “I love this ant but she won’t pay any attention to me, make me important to her” and you’re like… um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper* “what have I done”
This is the best explanation for higher powers I’ve ever really heard.
there have been a lot of baffling design decisions made in the history of this website, but the recent change where now they automatically send you a “convenient” Click This Link To Finish Logging In email every single time you try to log in and you now have to manually click the “actually please just let me put in my password” button to log in normally is absolutely one of the worst
