frustration incarnate. They/him

I like this one a lot

Like

A lot a lot

Ate shit at stonewall because I was too busy looking at hot men

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

And by “go on tour” I mean “go on tour more” because he’s been performing live for YEARS now

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Okay so to make it simple:

1) the guy is pretty much shackled to family guy and American dad, in both of which he is incredibly granular in his knowledge and depiction of Frank Sinatra and Sound of Music

2) he’s been releasing albums for a while now??? Including last month???

[📀🕷️SpazJazz💜✨ (STEEL BALL RUN HYPE 🐎) @JusJazzinOut]

I need Seth MacFarlane to lock the fuck in because what do you mean he can rival Frank Sinatra and is doing little to nothing with his talent

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Like yeah dude could go on tour with his replica crooner style but to say he’s doing “nothing” with his talent is absolutely wild because the man LEAPS at the opportunity to go off

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

My hot take is that MCU Tony is closer to Comic Pym than he is to Comic Tony.

Comic Tony would have accidentally made Ultron and a week later not known why this stupid random android is attacking him of all people

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

2 things:

1) these lines don’t imply Ultron was made by Tony, IDK why people are assuming that Ultron isn’t just being a grade A hater

2) Ultron has always hated Tony on principle, but Ultron hates Hank Pym like a neglected child hates their father

[Rivals Leaks @Rivals_Leaks]

New Ultron voice lines!

I told you, Stark, YOU ARE the flaw!

Your FLESH is the flaw, Stark!

You pretend to be a machine. Yet you are just organs in a metal shell.

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

A lot of people are also misunderstand why Ultron is more compelling being made by Pym, but that’s usually because they’re assuming Comic Pym is even remotely close to MCU Pym, which just isn’t true

This is par for the course for Vivek, he’s generally bad at coming up with his own talking points, so he mashed together a bunch of other right-wing points and refuses to ever see a contradiction in what he says

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

I can’t stress enough how bad of a mindset this is, the average straight-A student in middle/high school burns out in college

Whiplash is literally about a monster of a teacher creating a monster of a student, did you not see the end of that movie???

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:

Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.

A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.

Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.

“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.

This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

This form of “pseudo-intellectual” speak ends up creating the same kinds of problems as severe anti-intellectualism; you are shunning curiosity and growth and are refusing to let people become what they want to be

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

I’m sorry but every time a world spends so long establishing rules, mechanics, and patterns that are followed by every character within, the way in which you create intrigue is by introducing a character that defies ALL of it

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Lots of weirdos talking about this when in reality the plot of the Witcher in the books/show/games is entirely about how terrifying it would be if/when ciri becomes a Witcher. Because by all known rules within the world she shouldn’t be able to.

And that makes it interesting!

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Home Alone 4 [First Watch]: What the actual fuck. It’s like they tried to make a sequel after reading a summary of the first two movies, AND they couldn’t get anybody back for it.

Also definitely filmed in Chicago and not South Africa

2/10

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Christmas movie review thread, starting early this year because they keep making more of these for some reason.

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

Home Alone 3 [first watch]: absolutely wild, starts off as a completely different movie. Kinda understands the construction of the first two movies but none of these characters have the same special sauce.

Child ScarJo was a jumpscare

For two weeks afterwards we chatted regularly online, two weeks after that we hung out, 6 years after that we got married

I still am worried that I was out of line reaching out to her.

So just tell them you’re interested

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

I want to be incredibly clear, for the past 6 years I very much thought I was completely out of line for reaching out to a person who followed me and liked 4ish of my most recent posts.

[Moon Dragon @frozenaesthetic]

This is how women shoot their shot

[The Mighty Mighty Til-Tones @Jtilts124]

There is such a large stigma against masc folks reaching out to a person doing basic social media interaction because in many cases that evolves into stalker-adjacent behavior
