    jdndkshdjxidjdnksjd the order in which the episodes were released is so funny because

    1. in scar's pov, grian and mumbo keep crashing whenever they try to get rid of the eggs, and then it turns out mumbo's been faking it the whole time
    2. in mumbo's pov, it turns out that grian absolutely knew mumbo wasn't really having this problem, and played along to make scar do all the work on removing them
    3. now in grian's pov, it turns out grian can fix his bug at any time, but is choosing not to to make mumbo and scar clean it all up

    can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike

  • oldmanlogan

    a screenshot of a tweet from vox, reading: "A 10-day UPS strike would cost the economy more than $7 billion and be the costliest work stoppage in at least a century, according to a new study by Anderson Economic Group, which researches labor disruptions." below it is a link to vox's article, titled: "A UPS Strike? In This Economy?" the image attached to the link is of a picketer holding a brown, yellow, and white sign that is partially cropped. the sign reads: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT" behind the man is a large inflatable pig, dressed as a capitalist/exec holding a bag marked with a $ in one hand-- hoof-- and strangling a figure dressed like a ups driver in the other.ALT
    a screenshot of a tweet from @Left_Voice that reads: "A reminder that many UPS workers in New York, the country's most expensive city, earn just $15.50 an hour.   You can't pursue your passions when you can barely make ends meet. #StrikeReady" the tweet quoted below it is from the official ups twitter, reading: "College? Cooking? Entrepreneurship?  Our industry-leading pay & benefits allow our people to pursue their passions. From healthcare coverage, retirement pensions, tuition assistance... the list goes on. But, we'll let our people tell the story in their own words. ⬇" below that is a still from the video linked with ups' tweet, but it's been cropped.ALT
    a screenshot of a tweet from @BenFredericks, reading: "As a fired UPS working still trying to get my job back, I stand in full solidarity with the righteous fight for a $25/hour minimum starting wage, particularly for warehouse workers who bust their asses in sweatshop conditions.  #strike #Equality #25orStrike" the tweet quoted below is from @LuigiWMorris (who also tweeted the video of the practice picket from within the ups warehouse) reading, "UPS part-timers are ready to strike, and we are joined by other union and community members who are ready to stand in solidarity with us ✊🪧 @Teamsters @804_local" below is a group photo of members of Left Voice, the DSA and ALU, and the Teamsters. four people are holding up signs, two that are the same, reading: "JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST WAGE" the man in the center holds a sign that reads: "$25/HOUR MIN OR STRIKE" on the right side of the group a person wearing a hat is holding a sign over their head that reads: "REINSTATE FIRED WORKER ACTIVISTS UNCONDITIONALLY"ALT
    screenshot of a tweet that reads: "Love to see it 🪧 If UPS doesn’t meet our demands by August 1, it won't be practice anymore, and we will go on strike! Thanks for all the support and solidarity, we can hear and feel it from inside the warehouse. @Teamsters @Local804T" below it is a still from the video attached to the tweet, taken from inside the ups customer center and warehouse in canarsie, brooklyn, looking out onto the parking lot. a fence, the hood of a delivery truck, and a stoplight are partially obstructing the view of the 7/14/2023 practice picketALT

    i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster's demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there's a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.

    im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board... like A Lot of shit is about to go down

    we're about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we're about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.

    "i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it" good news! it's amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike

    'why are actors striking aren't they all millionaires' here's a paywall free link to an article that mentions how most of the cast of one of netflix's biggest shows had day jobs bc they couldn't afford rent

  • heresiae

    remember that actors are usually not well off at all. forget the big screen famous guys, they're the very few ones. this strike is for all the other ones, that deserve to have a livable paycheck for their job.

  • neil-gaiman

    And a note to say that, had Orange is the New Black been on a not-streaming network which paid them residuals each time they screened the show the actors would have done fine or better than fine.

    At the start of streaming rules were agreed to let these beginning ways of putting out stories over the web succeed and get established, and letting them not pay actors and writers traditional style residuals was part of what was agreed. They got established. They succeeded. The actors and the writers took the hit.

    Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”

    Tumblr added a bunch of tracking shit to share urls, so now ill teach you how to get rid of them

    if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

    image

    getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden


    image

    in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

    image

    first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it


    image

    a clean Tumblr url should look like this

    blog safely

  • gutefist

    Removing this garbage makes posts embed on discord btw

  • ckret2

    You can do this with a lot of other sites' and services' share links, too.

    Spotify...

    A Spotify URL with everything after a question mark highlighted in yellow. The highlighted part is 1/3 of the URL.ALT

    Youtube...

    A youtube URL with everything after an ampersand highlighted in yellow. The highlighted part is 1/3 of the URL.ALT

    Etsy...

    An Etsy URL with everything after a question mark highlighted in yellow. The highlighted part is 3/5 of the URL.ALT

    In most links, there's gonna be a ? or a & and everything after that is unnecessary to actually get to the site you want. Look how much shorter it makes the link, too.

    There's no reason these companies need to know all about which of your friends found a page because you, personally, linked them to it. Delete that junk.

    hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

    BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

    youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

    youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

    youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

    youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

    reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

  • pigcatapult

    Where do I copy-paste these to? "My filters"? "My Rules"?

  • gaphic

    'my filters'! if you look closely you'll notice the format is different between the two pages. the (website)(##)(additional text) format goes in filters
