#this is hilarious
I’m watching it from a safe distance but the online knitting community got their hands on a couple of tech bros who decided they should buy “knitting.com” for a ton of money and disrupt a marketplace they’ve done zero research on and are basically now just crowdsourcing advice from people who hate them, it’s like watching a bumbling overconfident predator wander into dangerous territory on a documentary
i’ve been sitting in my little safari van with binoculars watching the whole thing unfold in sheer delight, it’s been a hell of a show. they did market research by going to joanne’s fabrics. they spelled purling as pearling when they tried to pretend like they were one of the gang. they explicitly dismissed the existing online community of knitters as ‘grannies with blogs’.
they are not doing so well, is what i am saying.
yvfu:
the four emotions you can get from a tumblr post are
thanks! I love it
thanks! I hate it
fuck you! I hate it
fuck you! I love it
thanks! I love it
There is also the secret fifth reaction “thanks! fuck you!”
Though Dick Lester obviously tried to organise it [filming for Help! on location at Cliveden] so that the Beatles could just arrive and do their stuff, there was still a huge amount of waiting around on set. To pass the time, the crew organised a relay race to be held on the huge lawn at Cliveden one lunch break. It began as five 60-yard dashes between the production staff, electricians and actors, but then the Beatles decided to join in. The crew thought there was no contest; the Beatles all smoked, they took no exercise and were wearing their ordinary street shoes. Mal Evans and their driver Alf Bicknell were recruited to make up the numbers. To everyone’s surprise, the Beatles’ team won, with Alf just scraping home in bare feet against one of the film crew professionally attired in spiked running shoes. Ringo’s speed was particularly commented upon. People had forgotten how adept the Beatles were at escaping from fans and how necessary that extra burst of speed was in potentially life-threatening situations. Lord and Lady Astor presented the winning team with a bottle of vintage champagne and formal photographs were taken.

He’s doomed us all-
I made a bingo sheet of my predictions for The Presence of Justice: https://bingobaker.com/view/4982444
New superhero: Crime Man.
He stops crimes exclusively by comitting crimes. He out-crimes the criminals.
The Punisher does this and the crime is murder
The Punisher doesn’t stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.
So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)
No, it’s more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.
*A mugger threatening me with a knife* Give me your money!
*Crimeman appearing from the darkness with a bigger knife* NO CRIMINAL! You give me YOUR money!I love the efforts to get deeply analytical and political but op just shuts them down with no crime man does CRIME
BUT BETTER
He finds out someone’s planning to rob the bank so he robs it first so there isn’t any money left when they get there.
Armed robbery? Hold their family hostage until they deliver their guns in an unmarked bag behind a gas station
- shirt and pants with horizontal black and white stripes
- A black domino mask
- A dark grey wool hat
- a big sack with a dollar sign on it where he stores his gadgets
- a yellow sash reading “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS”
I drew fanart
did I get it right?
Now that’s a hero if I’ve ever seen one.
You do the crime, you get the crime.
The plan is working!
HE LOOKS LIKE THE QUOTE ‘Be Gay Do Crimes”
He is gay, and does crimes.
Crime Man strikes again
I like Crime man
And Crime Man likes you too

Resourcefulness, audacity, and a sense of humor.
