French senator Claude Malhuret sums up the world made by the current American administration, 5 March 2025

“We were at war with a dictator, we are now fighting a dictator backed by a traitor.”

Hearing one of our centre-right Senators matter-of-factly call Elon Musk a buffoon on ketamine and compare Trump to Emperor Nero was satisfying.

Divorce seems to radicalize american men in a way that needs to be studied

A divorced american man will join a right wing terror group because he didnt get custody of the kids he didnt take care of at all

An american man will have an affair with a colleague, get caught, get divorced, and join isis

Intelligent words from @junequeer

God, I love tumblr, its the only place where we can get a philosophical analysis of why divorcees crumble and it was in the tags. Like if not for the screenshot, 90% of people would miss this wisdom

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

Dogs.

I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.

The sky

Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.

Super Mario Bros.

Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.

John Mulaney

He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.

Omfg

Pokemon

Making your pets fight repeatedly is animal abuse.

OP

OP literally argued that dogs were problematic but go off I guess

This is a work of art and should be sent to everyone as soon as they sign up for Tumblr so they know what they’re walking into

the number of spacecraft failures recently has been absolutely insane and it all comes down to tech bros barging into the industry going “it’s not that hard wtf is nasa so bad” and then completely skipping out on any testing

Recently, a privately funded asteroid mission failed immediately after launch. Here are some choice excerpts from the company’s blog post about it:

As our CEO Matt Gialich put it: "We know how to build these craft. These have been built before. They just cost a billion fucking dollars. How do we do it for a fraction of the cost?"ALT

they cost that much because they do integration testing

We built Odin in less than ten months at a cost of approximately $3.5 million. For comparison, a similar NASA mission like Lunar Trailblazer cost about $95 million just for the spacecraft. We accomplished our build at roughly 7% of that cost.

ALT

…..by skipping integration testing

This rapid iteration approach embodies our philosophy: learn fast, adjust quickly, and accept calculated risks to gain experience that can't be acquired through simulation or planning alone.

ALT

“skipping integration testing was the right move actually”

And while we knew about some of the issues before launch, we made the bold decision to launch anyway—and that made all the difference.

ALT

come fucking on.

We were transparent from the beginning about the high-risk nature of this mission. As noted in our pre-launch blog, we assigned Odin only a 30% chance of success. We went into the mission aware of several specific issues:

The power amplifier wasn't configured in a default "on" state
Our data streams weren't configured in the smallest possible frame
The battery capacity was limited to about 2.5 hours of operation without solar panel deployment
Our testing prior to shipment revealed a potential issue with solar panel deployment
These were configuration issues rather than design intentionsALT

AND YOU FUCKING LAUNCHED ANYWAYS

In many ways, Odin has become both a pioneer and a teacher—continuing its mission by informing our future endeavors, even in silence.

ALT

it failed immediately you dipshits

"At the end of the day, like, you got to fucking show up and take a shot, right? You have to try."

ALT

or you could. i don’t know. do integration testing?

Imagine handing your car keys to an insane person whose driver’s license was revoked for shitty driving, putting your family and all your valuables in the car, and telling him to drive near a cliff.

That’s where America is now, with trump in the driver’s seat.

Dumb choice, America.

CEO pay at America’s largest public companies is up 1,085% since 1978. Typical worker pay is up just 24%. This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before. They’ve just gamed the system to line their pockets.
