Ok I looked this up and the discription is half true but not in the way you would think. The fossil is a real example of a Stupendemys geographicus, a pre historical turtle species that could grow to the size size of a small car. The man however is misidentified. “Carlos” is actually Dr. Rodolfo Sánchez, Director of the Paleontological Institute and Museum at the University of Zurich in Sweden, who was the team leader of the paleontologists that found the fossil.
For those not in the know, Sam Kerr, the captain of the Matildas (Australia’s women’s soccer team) and arguably the people’s princess of Australia was charged with the racially aggravated harassment of a police officer in Britain. Everyone was extremely disappointed and shocked, until it was revealed that said “racially aggravated harassment” was her calling the cop a “stupid white bastard”.
Aussie twitter is currently losing its shit, she could actually face jail time over this, and if she faces any punishment or imprisonment over this there have been calls to use this as justification for becoming a republic.
Love that this is going around again, she’s a legend. If you didn’t follow the news when it happened a year ago, have an update
Saw a post pointing out that the idea of a Saturday-Sunday weekend is in itself cultural Christianity being applied to the whole “secular” world, that in Israel the weekend is Friday-Saturday and in some Muslim-majority countries the weekend is Thursday-Friday or only Friday (in others it’s Friday-Saturday as well.)
Anyway to make a truly secular and inclusive world I propose a Monday-Wednesday work-week and a Thursday-Sunday weekend. I think anyone of any or no religion could all get behind this.
iñigo bought the kids croissants every time they won. this is why the first three games weren’t great… because they are fatherless and croissant-less 🥲💔
“everyone experiences [symptom]” how many times does it have to be explained that it’s often about the frequency of the symptom, not the symptom itself
“nearly everyone has had a headache before” i agree. “most people get headaches regularly” you’re starting to lose me. “it’s normal to have a headache all the time” go to a doctor.
“everyone gets anxious sometimes” true! “people get anxious pretty often” um. “it’s normal to be anxious all the time” go to a doctor. etc
Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and “I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones” and “it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters” and “radical feminism isn’t transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors” and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I’d say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I’m one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.
