When you point out to people who are against animal testing that there are potentially lifesaving medications that need to be tested on mammals before going to trials that could potentially harm human lives, they’ll say shit like “We should test on prisoners instead.” Bitch. Why are you working for PETA? The WW2-era Imperial Japanese Army needs you. There is suchhhhhhh a strong thread of fascism laced through the current animal rights movement and in so many animal rights spaces and they’re extremely transparent about it.
I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty
That scene from Community is so accurate, that is exactly how these people sound. Racism, ableism and classism often tangled with their crusade for ‘animal rights’ and their talking points often go against basic ethics and basic animal husbandry.

there’s a point when you’re Way In Deep in a fandom where every song on late aughts denver-based rock band, ‘the fray’s’ eponymous album sounds like [character name here] and that lets you know that it’s perhaps. enough for now.
laios is perhaps the only character not to get the “they mentioned their favorite food once and the fandom makes it their whole personality” treatment. his favorite food is cheesecake and absolutely nobody cares
Now Keira is one of many Greenlandic families living on the Danish mainland who are fighting to get their children returned to them after they were removed by social services.
In such cases, babies and children were taken away after parental competency tests - known in Denmark as FKUs - were used to help assess whether they were fit to be parents.
In May this year the Danish government banned the use of these tests on Greenlandic families after decades of criticism, although they continue to be used on other families in Denmark.
[…]
Keira’s assessment in 2024, carried out when she was pregnant, concluded that she did not have “sufficient parental competencies to care for the newborn independently”.
Keira says the questions she was asked included: “Who is Mother Teresa?” and “How long does it take for the sun’s rays to reach the Earth?”
Psychologists who defend the tests argue questions like these are intended to assess parents’ general knowledge and their understanding of concepts they might encounter in society.
Keira adds that “they made me play with a doll and criticised me for not making enough eye contact”.
She alleges that when she asked why she was being tested in this way the psychologist told her: “To see if you are civilised enough, if you can act like a human being.”

When Johanne was asked in 2019 what she saw during a Rorschach test - a psychological test where people are asked what they see when looking at ink-blot images - she said she saw a woman gutting a seal, a familiar sight in Greenland’s hunting culture.
Johanne alleges that on hearing this answer the psychologist called her a “barbarian”.
I hate adaptions that try to add a romantic angle to the Sherlock Holmes/Irene Adler relationship, partially because he is gay, mostly because she is massively out of his league.
“I thought he was asexual?” You can be asexual and gay. He is gray asexual and he has rather languid and tepid sex with Watson once or twice a year.
Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn’t read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There’s been multiple “I’m DB Cooper” death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today’s money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons
