No.
Not usually, at least.
Sometimes, the cats eat you.
so here’s what I remember about this @xplainthexmen Emma Frost podcast recording that I haven’t listened to yet, but you should:
Leah: I have two emojis tattooed on my butt
Everyone: which ones
Leah: [[falls silent because while she wants to share with the friends she’s currently drinking with/generally comfortable around, she’s also thinking about being recorded for a podcast and is too drunk to reconcile these things]]
Leah: …
Leah: Issa secret
also:
Jay @postcardsfromspace : Yeah, don’t fuck with the space-time continuum.
Either me or @seananmcguire, or maybe us both: okay but how about [[actually fucking the space-time continuum]]
okay but seriously are they the floating businessman
my 8-year-old cousin got a spiderman pinata for his birthday today and he hit it so hard that he removed spiderman’s cardboard head from its shoulders and my cousin’s 11-year-old friend goes, without missing a beat, “I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark” and i lost my shit. kids really are our future.
I’m going to fucking scream
Earth is currently at the stage that leads into either Star Trek, or Mad Max.
Astute observers will recall that in Star Trek, Earth was Mad Max for several years before becoming Star Trek.
i feel a sudden bloom of hope inside me
James Rhodes, a pianist, performed a Bach composition for his Youtube channel, but it didn’t stay up – Youtube’s Content ID system pulled it down and accused him of copyright infringement because Sony Music Global had claimed that they owned 47 seconds’ worth of his personal performance of a song whose composer has been dead for 300 years.
This is a glimpse of the near future. In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos – for audio, text, stills, code, everything.
Just last week, German music professor Ulrich Kaiser posted his research on automated censorship of classical music, in which he found that it was nearly impossible to post anything by composers like Bartok, Schubert, Puccini and Wagner, because companies large and small have fraudulently laid claim to their whole catalogs.
Europeans have one week to contact their MEPs to head off this catastrophe.
Stop what you’re doing and contact two friends in the EU right now and send them to Save Your Internet – before it’s too late.

Hi! We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99—that’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
