i know the joke is that ill accidentally summon a demon but i cant help but think this is just a goat with good Latin skills who is coming to punish me for forgetting that studeo, studere takes dative objects

you sigh in relief that its only your friend the tutor goat and not the duolingo owl

fun fact: demon princes are often skilled in particular subjects and theres an entire book about summoning the right one to tutor you so in theory, summoning a demon to help you learn latin is feasible

do you think butch hartman knows how many eggs he cracked with this

butch hartman designing characters:

Butch Hartman dives so deeply into into the “Boys being compared to girls as alleged comedy” hole that he effectively dug a tunnel to the other side of the world and it starts being “you barely have to squint to read this character as trans” instead.

I just looked this up and it turned out it was about a production of “cat on a hot tin roof”, a play which famously features a closeted gay lead character. a member of the audience was catcalling female actresses and shouting homophobic abuse when actor john lacy, who played the character big daddy, paused his performance and called him out. the heckler replied “what are you going to do about it?” to which lacy responded by leaping down into the audience and knocking him to the ground.

I’m reading this thing about how farmers in Japan considered thunderstorms to be good luck because they’d make more mushrooms grow so some Japanese scientists created this lil electrical machine that they wheeled through the forest administering shocks to the ground to simulate lightning strikes and the areas that they shocked yielded twice as many mushrooms as unshocked plots of land ⚡️🍄

the fact that we reached a point where we can simulate fake storms to make little buddies grow twice as much is like magic but slightly to the left and just down right delightful

Okay, so.

I believe I understand the Gamestop story now.

Perhaps it’s news to you! It goes like this.

One can bet against the future value of a company’s stock. A couple of very large investment firms bet that GameStop’s stock would be at or below a certain low level. Perhaps this was some standard amoral investor machination, but they were surely doing harm to the company for money by insisting through the power of their opinion – because the value of any stock is based entirely on the opinion of the investor – that GameStop stock is cheap. 

So Reddit gets wind of this.

They think, “fuck capitalism, let’s set some Boomer wealth on fire while also saving GameStop from hedge fund depredation.” So, en masse, they take their $600 stimulus checks, run them through a free-stock-trade app, and buy as much GameStop stock as they can for as much as they can.

This drives up the price of all GameStop stock.

This obliterates the money of investors who had invested in the idea that GameStop’s stock price will be below a certain level at a certain period.

And so:

It’s hilarious. It’s turning the legalized gambling of Wall Street stock market manipulation against it.
