Tschugguel became a hero to traditionalists in 2019 when he snuck into a Vatican-area church, stole Amazonian Indigenous statues of pregnant women, and threw them into the Tiber River in a videotaped act that was quickly shared online.
Holy shit, what an asshole. Why is this guy so grossed out by pregnant women?
I’m not sure if it’s the artists intention or not, but it gets at the heart of a lot of misogyny. What could possibly be controversial about Mary giving birth? It’s an interesting question to put to the (mostly) men who decry the installation.
That’s great for a future where we have all of this sorted out, but it doesn’t help in the interim. It’s not like corporations will sit patiently while congress gets this figured out, they’re going to test the authority of OSHA and flood the courts with lawsuits to argue over every particular, doing more or less whatever they want in the meantime. Frankly I don’t believe congress can rubber stamp anywhere quick enough to protect the policies we already have in place.
The problem is that congress doesn’t do anything quickly (unless it’s giving themselves a raise). That’s the whole reason delegation was needed, because they’re so slow to actually pass specific laws. Previously, the rule was that any ambiguity in the law could be interpreted as needed by the relevant agency. That way the law can be “companies need to ensure a certain level of safety for workers” and OSHA with their panel of experts can figure out the details of what precautions are needed where. Even if a rubber stamp is all that would be needed, they have a huge backlog of regulations to get through and a lot of companies that will fight tooth and nail to save a bit of money on safety equipment. If the SCOTUS takes such a case and rules against OSHA’s authority, you best believe there will be blood on their hands.
Tumblr has made a lot of… questionable UX decisions, but the users have found ways around them.
Something I forgot to mention as a possible origin for putting text in tags: Tumblr used to allow you to edit other peoples’ posts when you reblogged them, leading to a fear of Danny Devito and, infamously, the John Green post.

I think smoking rooms in hotels are still a thing, but they’re certainly less common than they were. My mother and I got stuck in a smoking room despite booking a non-smoking room well in advance and it was awful. Stayed just one night and our clothes smelled like cigarette smoke for the rest of the trip.
I don’t really care if people smoke, but gosh, ya’ll need ventilation.
Yep, though there’s certain punctuation that will break them. I think this practice is why even regular Tumblr posts tend to have strange grammar.
When you make or reblog a post, you can add tags at the bottom. Ostensibly these are for searching/categorization, but people often use them to write out responses to posts so that their followers can reblog the it without bringing their comment along (Tumblr just puts all replies into a single extended post so it’s a bit cumbersome to have long comment chains). The tags are visible in the “notes” section of the post, so people can still see it.
When you see a screenshot like this, it likely means that the response was made by someone else and the OP self reblogged it because they thought it was important.
This is my rub with Clarence in general. On paper I agree with a very hardline reading of the constitution cause what else is it there for. We’re far too allergic to making constitutional amendments and laws and have built up a house of cards that gets toppled every time the administration changes.
However, practically speaking, there’s too many actual lives depending on supreme court decisions and delegated regulations to wait for congress to do something about it (if they aren’t stalled outright by lobbying and party opposition). If the overturning of such decisions is meant to light a fire under the ass of the legislative branch, it operates much too slowly to protect the vulnerable people who suffer in the interim. Delegation is the only reason we have a (relatively) safe and clean place to live.
This is true, but the president (or presidental candidate) is also the face of their backing party, and that matters a lot. We’ve seen other people try it, but Trump is the only one who can really whip up the MAGA frenzy, which is why conservatives have painted themselves into a corner with him. Likewise, Biden represents what democrats find frustrating about the party: out of touch geriatrics who promise nothing but more of the same.
So yeah, while the president isn’t doing most of the work directly, they set the tone, and they have a lot of influence over (or direct power to appoint) people who run major things.
Just wait until you hear about Mosquito Mayhem, the theme park for mosquitoes!

I mean, there are some pretty legitimate concerns about employee welfare with Uber. Do the drivers get paid while waiting for customers?
This is exactly the feeling I had when I played Assassin’s Creed and picked up a flag that said “1/100”. That happened multiple times, since there are 400 flags in the game. And what do you get? Absolutely nothing but an achievement.
I hold Mario Odyssey up as a shining example of how to make large optional objectives fun. You don’t really get much of a reward for getting all 999 moons, but at least the vast majority of them have fun puzzles to solve so that it’s actually rewarding to collect them. Contrast this with, say, Korok seeds.
Potato salad is fucking amazing and I will die on this hill
Something about the phrasing “you should do a lot of cocaine about it” really tickles me. I wonder what you call breaking grammar rules for humor like that.
I’ve also used hacker keyboard to ctrl+c/ctrl+v when apps block the regular context copy/paste actions, pretty handy.
Yeah, cause remasters always go well coughGTAdefinitive ahemWarcraft3cough.
Even then, what motive is there to prevent people from getting the original if they want to? Well, other than being able to charge $20-$40 for a 20 year old game.
Honestly I doubt it matters. They’ll just keep adding more things to the list, this shit is everywhere.
