remember when elomusk asked one of his rocketship employees to give him sex favors in exchange for a horse
I can’t stop thinking about the uhc shooter and what a wild experience he must be having right now. Idk how much you can look at the news or scroll the internet while on the run for murder, but man. Imagine. You spend who knows how long planning a brazen public assassination, cleanly pop a dude in the middle of one of the busiest downtowns in the world, bike away fueled by nothing but the thrill of vengeance and some Starbucks, and spark one of the largest manhunts in recent history. And when you finally go online to see what you’ve wrought, the entire world is laugh reacting NYT headlines and has collectively decided that you’re off the hook this time, king.
Then pictures of your face get released 24 hours later and everyone is like actually this guy did nothing wrong AND he’s hot.
I’ve said this before in an ask but Nico and Jason have wildly different definitions of “glow in the dark-boyfriend” and it amuses me to no end
Because obviously Will can start glowing like a lamp which is convenient and not in any way inherently dangerous so no warning is needed and Nico doesn’t need to let go of his hand or anything when he does it
But then Leo will go “oh hey I can do that too”, lets go of Jason’s hand and just lights himself on fire without warning
when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character
Whenever I think of the McDonald's employee who snitched on Luigi Mangione I can't help but wonder how many people did identify him during the week or so he was on the run. Those who, going about their day, saw this dude wearing a beanie and a mask and thought "hey, wouldn't it be funny if he was that shooter guy". Then they caught a better look at his face and realize "damn he does kinda look like him".
I imagine them thinking about those $50.000. Perhaps they even felt tempted for a moment. Perhaps they thought about their own debt to the healthcare industry. Perhaps they thought about clearing their own or a loved ones loans.
Yet they did not. They decided that, wether this guy did or didn't shoot that CEO, what happened the other day in New York matters. It matters so, so much, either in the short or the long run. That it could be the first step towards something big. Maybe that something, just maybe, is change.
And then they kept their mouth shut and continued with their afternoon as if nothing ever happened.
To those people, I wish you nothing but the best. You did what you had to do. And that says a lot about you.
In short, I refuse to believe class consciousness is dead. But guess I'm a romantic like that.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
im so tired of "percy gives will a shovel talk" "percy hates will" i personally think percy loves will and is so ecstatic that he makes nico happy. put that in your pipe and smoke it

I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.
