Do you know why people are boycotting Good Omens? Is Nail Gaiman a zionist?
I’m sure there are much more eloquent answers from people out there but I personally am not supporting Good Omens anymore and don’t really want to associate myself with it due to Neil Gaiman, Michael Sheen, and Jon Hamm’s actions.
Neil Gaiman has a tweet from 2015 that says Israel has the right to exist and implies he supports a two state solution. Then, recently when he was called out on it, he doubled down and took the “neutral” approach.
There’s a lot of reading you can do on why a two state solution is harmful and in support of colonisation- I recommend an article from decolonizepalestine. I also think I’ve made my stance on remaining “neutral” on this topic very clear: there is no such thing as remaining neutral during a genocide.
Michael Sheen also had some upsetting tweets that supported neutrality and a two state solution.
He also said he was not blocking people for saying Free Palestine (he was) but he blocked people who were respectfully trying to educate him on why what he was saying/taking a neutral stance is extremely harmful.
Jon Hamm just openly signed the No Hostage Left Behind letter to Joe Biden. I have very strong feelings about this letter that directly acknowledges debunked propaganda (AFTER they were debunked) and supports colonisation by stating the main goal is have Palestine and Israel exist peacefully together. It only acknowledges the Israeli hostages, but nothing about Palestinian hostages or victims. To me, anyone that put their name on that letter is not worth supporting or even acknowledging anymore. (I have more thoughts with real evidence on why signing the letter is a horrible choice here- it’s specifically in regards to Taika Waititi but the content itself applies to everyone who signed)
She’s not directly involved with the show but Georgia Tennant liked a post of Amy Schumer’s that was in support of Israel. Make of that whatever you want, I don’t believe she/David Tennant have directly spoken about anything.
Someone on here made a great post about how Cassandra Brand is a clear reference to Greek mythologys Cassandra, a priestess who was doomed to only tell true prophecies but never be believed. Cassandra obviously warns Miles and her friends about what his new miracle fuel will do and is entirely disregarded.
I read this post and was like "oh that's so smart, you're so right." And then like, went on with whatever I was doing.
And then that night I'm laying in bed and my eyes snap open and my brain is like "her sister was HELEN."
Cassandra forsaw the fall of Troy and was not believed.
Helen caused the fall of Troy.
This is worse, in its way, than the pornbots.
Here's something that turned up in my ask box just now.
...So. You've all seen these. Some of them are genuine. Lots aren't.
Here's where their message leads:
...Okay. The first warning sign: this account is about 3 days old.
But the second: searching on the details of the plea for help via Google, what do we find but...
...Poor Macaroni has repeatedly been hit by cars, and has repeatedly suffered busted femurs, since 2015.
"This," as the saying goes, "starts to look like carelessness." :/
Taking advantage of the kindness of strangers this way is vile... and plainly there's no shortage of people willing to indulge.
So: yeah, I'll be delighted to help the OP get some more traction on this! You betcha. By:
Blocking. Reporting. Reporting to PayPal as well. And dropping @staff a note, when I have a moment. Because allowing this stuff to prosper here just invites more people to try it on. :/
...Pass the news around, friends. ("And call it Macaroni.")

Glass Onion did many, many things well. But a few of my favorites are:
Gave Helen the LITERAL POWER of the dumb white man's idea of a good idea to BLOW HIS SHIT UP.
Gave Whiskey a moment to deepen her character beyond "dumb men's right bimbo." Do I agree with the way she's doing things? No. Do I respect that she gets the chance to show she is aware of what she's doing? Yes.
Gave Benoit a live-in partner who straight people don't clock at all. Bitch. The butler is not calling Mister Blanc's famous friends to express worry over his bath time. That's the job of a husband (colloquial).
Benoit solving Gillian Flynn's mystery because it's CLEVER but needing help with the ACTUAL mystery because IT'S DUMB. And not because he's TOO SMART but because he's bad at DUMB PUZZLES.
Everyone only willing to throw Miles under the bus after Helen literally blew up any chance he had of saving their asses. Did they learn anything? Fuck no. It's a very clear lesson on understanding who to trust. As Helen puts it: "You'll lie for a lie, but you won't lie for the truth?" They're not lying for the truth at the end. They're lying for the lie that they're not very much like Miles.
I have seen some people noting the Mona Lisa burned like canvas, and I've seen some people noting the Mona Lisa burned like wood, and what's important to remember is that everything you need to know about Miles is that he's got the fucking audacity of the insulated fuckboy to think he's being clever having someone build an un-failesafe button so the Mona Lisa could be safe.
"It's so dumb, it's brilliant!" / "No, it's just dumb!"
"You'd lie for the lie, but you wouldn't lie for the truth?" -- Yeah, I mentioned it already, but my GOD. WHAT A POINT.
"Your name will forever be remembered in the same breath as the Mona Lisa." -- STAB HIM AGAIN.
A compilation of tips ive made per request of others
feel free to send a character (can be your oc!) and a number and i might doodle them in my free time!
you can use this for yourself too idc!!
sorry i didnt post til just now my pookie bears i was babysitting
is it alright if you could possibly link any certified charities that we all could donate to? its really hard finding the real charities with all the fake ones out there.
If you look closely at Ghost’s face during cutscenes you can tell he’s so expressive under the mask. When they find out that the missiles are American, you can literally see his jaw drop in shock. I mean y’all remember the face he made when Soap was shot, right? Bro is so fucking expressive it’s probably a big reason why he wears the mask in the first place
wouldn't gliding be faster? || leoon || minor || i make art and i now play genshin ;D
