Students' Students AU Part 4

aside from the audio sounding a bit too quiet, that might be my favorite halftime show performance even factoring in recency bias.

best trope and you can fight me over it (i abuse this so hard with my ocs)

Does anyone else have this thing happen where you hear about a movie/show/game/book that is universally praised and beloved by everyone, and then ironically get super intimidated to actually watch it because of that universal praise? Because I noticed that that happens sometimes with me, and it's very confusing but also kinda interesting. Things like Gravity Falls, Breaking Bad, Dune, etc. that everyone likes, and as a result, I almost feel nervous about trying them out. Maybe it's a fear that the thing will never be as amazing as the hype around it/the mental picture I've created for it, maybe I just really want the experience of getting into it to be as amazing as everyone says it is, idk for sure. But I did think this was kinda a funny/interesting thing that I do sometimes, and I'm curious if anyone has ever felt a similar kind of intimidation to try a new series or if i'm just kinda weird like that

Elon Musk Is a Paid Subscriber to Shockingly Racist Pro-Apartheid South African X Account

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, is a paid subscriber to a virulently racist X account.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, is a paid subscriber to a virulently racist X account. Musk not only follows an account called “Boer” (@twatterbaas) but is one of two accounts to pay it for “bonus content and extra perks.” Boer charges $5/month for said perks and content. In one of the account’s most recent tweets, Boer submitted that “Atrica [sic] has 54 countries, 1.487 billion people. On the Southern tip lays South Africa, with the largest Economy and best infrastructure. Guess what makes South Africa different from the rest of Africa? 4.6 million white people.”

In other instances, the account has touted rape rates in “Black ruled” countries, used pictures to suggest that the country was better off under racial apartheid, asked “why do blacks like to destroy and break what white man made?” and urged “these racist blacks of #SouthAfrica to stop being selfish and transfer the strategical jobs and planning to us whites of this country.”

Elon Musk loves far-right racists.

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

I’m running a pre-bought campaign in a sci-fi setting

Totally not-shady NPC: I’ll need you to retrieve my secret cargo from the abandoned spaceship, but it’s very private, so don’t look inside–

Player: Is it a girl in a box?

NPC: …What?

Player: This is a sci-fi story, and there’s a box you don’t want us to look into. There’s only ever one way that ends, and it’s always with a girl stuffed into a box.

Other Player: Hey, we don’t even know how big it is. It could just be a cigar box.

First Player: Okay, you’re right. It could be a bunch of sex toys. How big is the box?

NPC: It’s… uh… six feet long by three feet wide by three feet deep…

First Player: Ugh. Okay, fine. Somebody pack a crowbar and a spare set of women’s clothing. We need to go get this girl out of her box.

WELCOME TO STOAT SATURDAY
