one of my cousins has one of those wretched sequined nicolas cage pillows and today the rest of us received this photo of perhaps the most upsetting thing i’ve seen all year, slugolas cage
I want to make this absolutely clear to kids: children didnât used to be stuck inside the house like you are today. There used to be public places you could hang out. It used to be fairly safe to walk around because trucks werenât designed to kill children. You didnât need a car to go anywhere so kids without a license werenât trapped. There werenât 24/7 cable news networks constantly scaring parents with anecdotes even as crime was at all time lows and the biggest danger comes from adults kids know not strangers.
Itâs easy to ignore old people talking about âthe good olâ daysâ because a lot of the people saying that shit are racist assholes, but the way society treats kids today really is objectively worse than how kids used to be treated. You deserve better, and you should know that better things are possible. We just need to kill the suburbs and for-profit news.
When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, I could go for a bike ride or walk with my sister or friends and we could leave after breakfast and not come back until dinner and our parents werenât worried. We lived on the edge of town, so we could turn left into the woods or turn right and go downtown or go straight and go to a friendâs house in the neighborhood. I went to a park or the community pool or went out for ice cream alone from a young age.
I also regularly walked to and from school alone from as young as first grade (so, about age 6). And Iâm not saying I walked three miles uphill in snow both ways, but I checked a map and it was over half a mile and crossed at least one street that people drive pretty fast on. And that was normal.
Damn he mustâve contributed so much to Morbiusâ gross
Thatâs the funniest part. For his Morbius vid, he actually bought tickets to Everywhere All At Once and snuck into Morbius each time as to not play any part in making Sony think that they should make more Morbius.
Not all heroes wear capes, but according to that thumbnail this one does
when conservatives scream âsocialism!â as if itâs a dirty word, this is what they mean:
itâs okay to give media CEOs salaries equal to all the combined benefits that workers are striking to attain, but itâs not okay for workers to demand fair and equitable treatment or compensation
