my friend is streaming himself doing mturk tasks for no reason and this one has you labeling what emotion a picture makes you feel and then rating how well the neural network figures out how you came to feel that emotion and this. this is the funniest thing i’ve ever seen a neural network produce
god, I love this concept. don’t bother with breast forms, just fucking wear an optical illusion. will everyone know what you’re doing? yes, obviously, but they won’t be able to look at your great boobs for longer than two seconds without feeling dizzy, so who cares?
in Alabama, Amendment 2 would restrict abortion rights, completely banning it if Roe v. Wade is overturned, which is now likely.
in Arkansas, Issue 2 would disenfranchise voters by requiring photo ID.
in Florida, Amendment 5 would make it much harder to raise taxes.
in Louisiana, Amendment 1 would ban people with felony records who’ve served their time from running for office for 5 years, even if their offense was just e.g. marijuana possession.
in Oregon, Measure 105 would repeal its sanctuary state law protecting immigrants, and Measure 106 would restrict abortion rights by banning public funds from being spent on abortions.
in West Virginia, Amendment 1 would completely ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned, which is now likely.
in Arkansas, Issue 5 would raise the minimum wage to $11.
in California, Prop 2 would fund housing for the homeless, and Prop 10 would allow local rent control.
in Colorado, Amendment A would fucking ban slavery as punishment for a crime. (yes, that’s a real thing.) Amendments Y and Z would hopefully limit gerrymandering. Amendment 73 would tax the rich to pay for education. Proposition 111 would crack down on predatory payday loans.
in Florida, Amendment 4 would restore voting rights to people with felony records who’ve served their time, and Amendment 9 would ban offshore drilling (and also vaping in the workplace, because Florida is weird).
in Idaho, Proposition 2 would expand Medicaid eligibility.
in Maine, Question 1 would fund a universal home-care program for disabled people and older adults.
in Maryland, Question 2 would allow election-day voter registration.
in Massachusetts, Question 3 would protect the state’s transgender anti-discrimination law which is under attack.
in Michigan, Proposal 1 would legalize recreational marijuana, and Proposal 3 would strengthen voting rights by instituting automatic voter registration, expanding absentee voting, pushing back deadlines, and more.
in Missouri, Amendment 2, Amendment 3, and Proposition C would all legalize medical marijuana (but they’d tax it different amounts and use the taxes for different things — you be the judge).

the outcomes of these and other important initiatives will be determined at the ballot box. you can make a direct impact on these issues in your state by doing your research and voting.
can’t vote? search for an organization supporting (or opposing) the initiative you care about, and consider donating your time or money to help them out.
(please note that i’m not an expert on all of these initiatives. you may conclude for example that one of them sounds good, but isn’t implemented well so you can’t support it. that’s fine! but now you know what’s going on in your state and can have your say, and that’s a good thing.)
Prop 2 in Michigan is designed to rectify the gerrymandering fiasco there too. All three Michigan proposals are good progressive steps!
Ditto on Michigan’s Prop 2, I volunteered with the group that got it on the ballot. It’ll make it so the voting districts are drawn by an independent commission and they’re going to put the whole process out in public. (Currently the state legislature does it, so whichever party has the majority on census year gives themselves the advantage for the next decade).
cool! yeah, i skipped a few redistricting ones because they can be tricky to evaluate, but i’m glad to hear good things about it
And the elected offices aren’t all about Dem/Rep legislators either; many judges are elected, and you want to have a say in that – you could get judges who accept “affluenza” and “gay panic” defenses, or you could have judges who throw out trumped up charges and rein in sentencing for marijuana convictions of Black people.
Never let the big races/personalities distract you from everything else that can go on a ballot. That’s how horrible shit gets legislated, they put stuff on ballots when they can be sure of low turnout because there are no high-profile contests.
in Ohio, Issue 1 would downgrade drug possession offenses from felonies to misdemeanors and provide for some criminal justice reforms.
ISSUE 1 IS IMPORTANT. GET YOUR BUTTS OUT TO THE POLLS.
GO TO THE POLLS. VOTE.
seriously. Drug offenses disproportionally effect people of color and are used to incarcerate non-violent offenders
it’s rly sweet ppl think I live anywhere near a target like,
i can walk into some of the shops in my town barefoot carrying my dog and nobody will tell me to leave.
target isn’t brave enough to build here.
The last bastion of hope.
yeah also it’s not illegal to ride a horse to a bar and get wrecked in lieu of a designated driver so like. we have a lot going on here.
Let’s be real though, the horse will always head back to its barn, so really this is a great idea. Get smashed, tie yourself to the horse, let the horse do whatever, and you’ll end up at home.
…..not that I’ve ever done that on a trail ride before.
Okay, so a trail horse is reliable here, because a horse that’s afraid of city noises will head for home and avoid anything “dangerous” because it’s afraid.
However, in my experience city-trained horses are much more obedient and are unafraid of roads and trust their rider a lot more fully.
So if your drunk ass says “yeah let’s steer into oncoming traffic”
the horse is gonna say “seems weird but okay man.”
Okay this is 100% a legitimate point.
The only horse you should trust as DD is a horse with a healthy fear of speeding traffic.
I would hope that that’s all horses
It is possible and common to train the good sense right out of a city horse.
Very very true.
A city horse would walk facefirst into an oncoming train if you asked it to.
This is why I prefer country horses with a degree of realization of its own mortality left to it.
What the hell kinda city has a horse
…I just love the fact that there is a distinction between country horse and city horse.
What is a city horse, what IS it
left ma and pop’s farm to make it big out there…..that horse’s gonna be a star
You know how there’s a running joke among tumblr Shakespeare fans that the reason there are so many characters called Antonio is because Shakespeare had an actor boyfriend named Antonio who kept forgetting which lines were his?
You how how in Good Omens, we have a character with the chosen first name Anthony? Which is a more anglicized version of Antonio?
Coincidence? I think not.
Manny are you trying to tell me that Crowley was Shakespeare’s ditzy boyfriend?
Yes
I 100% approve of this
… do they have a ship name?
Shakesley
snakespeare? ???
you know what? you’re so right.
#there’s no Shakespeare in Aziraphale’s shop (via mickmercury)
Yeah, Aziraphale is also super extra about it and refuses to let any Shakespearean quotations and turns of phrase enter his speech.
But also, he gets into fights with anti-stratfordians.
He refuses to say fashionable for at least 500 years. Despite being so perfect to describe some other humans.
He actually refuse (completely conscious) to say other Shakespeare invented words.
Aziraphale to his Saintly FollowersTM: Theatre is bad. Especially that Shakespeare guy. You guys must get rid of him and disband his troupe in order to go to heaven.
