Their Cells Are Literally Slowly Burning, They Sustain Themselves On A Corrosive Liquid, And They Ingest

Earth broadcasts its location to the greater universe. Almost immediately, first contact is initiated - not by benevolent beings or warmongering conquerors, but by alien salesmen, telemarketers, and scam artists.

Talking to a customer about classic children’s lit and how many of them firmly believe that fresh air and sunshine will cure any number of unspecified Victorian illnesses. I mentioned The Secret Garden and how much I like that the protagonists are basically just feral gremlin children who are very unpleasant to be around until they somehow manage to socialize each other.

Then I said, out loud, “on a scale of Sarah Crewe to Mary Lennox, how well did you handle being raised by a nanny in Edwardian India,” and realized that tumblr really has ruined my speech patterns for all time.

Can I post anything?

This particular Dark Lord has a nasty habit of not executing subordinates for failure. This is starting to become a problem for the heroes, as their foes are starting to learn what works and what doesn’t.

I can't be trusted with time travel because all I would want to do would be go back to hang out with Jane Austen and show her all the adaptations of her novels to find out which one she likes the best

I enjoy when sci-fi backdrops try to split the difference between presenting futuristic cityscapes and acknowledging that they wouldn't just tear down all the existing infrastructure by keeping the old buildings but having random high-tech shit sticking off of them, like the buildings themselves have cyborg implants.

A journalist asked Tim Cook why iPhones are so expensive

“Well”, said Tim Cook, “that’s because the iPhone replaces a whole bunch of devices. A phone, a camera, a watch, a music player, a video player, a PDA, a voice recorder, a GPS navigator, a flashlight, a calculator, a portable gaming console, and many other things. Surely, a high price is worth paying to replace so many devices!”

“Then why are Androids so much cheaper?”, asked the journalist.

“Because,” said Tim Cook, “an Android replaces just one device. The iPhone.”

Notice how it's okay to be a

" proud autistic parent "

aka the parent of an autistic person

but

It's not okay to be a proud autistic person..

I'm seeing a bunch of proud autistic parent merch everywhere but not one single

" I'm proud to be autistic "

Or

" Proud autistic "

Anything....

I feel this kinda falls into the it's okay with neurotypical people to profit off disabled people + be proud of " dealing " with disabled people but as soon as a disabled person has pride in themselves then that's not okay.
