6 Ways You Didn't Realize Ronald Reagan Ruined The Country
drst:
Objective, measurable ways that Ronald Reagan was a terrible president.
Fucking undead sunovabitch. Hated his sorry ass when he was elected, still hate him now.
Folks, if you’re too young to remember Reagan’s presidency, please read this. Educate yourselves.
You still can’t get an involuntary committal in California until someone’s hurt bad enough to warrant felony charges. Then, odds are they go to jail instead of a treatment facility. Reagan closed the asylums and sold off the properties; his successors built more prisons instead. More profitable that way.
There’s a tell, in the news stories after a random act of violence. If the perp’s neighbors are quoted saying what a nice boy he was, it means the perp is a straight-up domestic terrorist. If the perp’s family is quoted saying they’ve been trying to get him help for years but couldn’t get him an in-patient bed they could afford, the perp is mentally ill.
The old mental hospitals were fairly terrifying, but dumping the patients to sleep rough is not a better solution.
my idea for cats the musical
it’s a small theatre
there’s a ton of real cats on stage
you can go up and pet the cats
there’s showtunes playing
you can sing along to the showtunes

why come they called him “beast” in the castle when everyone knew his name cuz they’d been working for him forever anyway? like …. i would just be like “hey chewbacca-Adam” or some shit, there’s no reason to call him beast … id hide in my room all day too if my employees started making fun of me..
If my manager decided to pull some rude ass shit with a witch and got me living the next ten years of my life as an immortal singing toaster oven you can bet your ass I’d wake him up every goddamn morning with a flaming panini directly to the face. rise and shine, you ugly fuck, time hear a song
I call this one, “ode to an inconsiderate pissbaby” and the first 9 verses are just me screaming at various decibels

i love sir patrick stewart more with each passing day.
See, guys. This is how you do it. Notice the words “Not all men are like that” are never spoken.
He knows men are like that
his father was like that to his mother
he has experienced the pain firsthand, of what it’s like when men are like that
and he never wants men to be like that again and he fights tooth and nail against the men who are still like that
And moreover, he acknowledges his privilege [as an older white male who is famous/well known] and uses it to speak up. He knows what he is, and he never has to say he’s not like those men he fights against—he never says it, his actions speak loud enough for everyone else to see it.
Sir Patrick Stewart, everyone.
I’ve loved Patrick Stewart since I was a kid in the 80′s watching Next Gen. He’s always been awesome, including his fabulous friendship with the amazing Ian McKellen:
or fostering a sweet pitbull named Ginger:
he really is an amazingly good person. :)

It’s been a while since we checked in on how the Renaissance is doing with its ocean mysteries, so here is a marine biology update circa 1550.
Seals come in two forms:
Buff
& Triangular
Walruses are horrifying
But whales are worse
Fish can have human faces
but not always where you’d expect
As for the rest
… it’s probably better left alone.
[All images except chest face fish from Historiae animalium liber IV : De piscium & aquatilium animantium natura. Chest face fish from The noble lyfe & natures of man of bestes, serpentys, fowles & fisshes yt be moste knowen]
Can you imagine thinking animals actually looked like this? Like I know there’s stylization here, but if I was an uneducated peasant in 1550 who saw these I might be religious too.
