Have any of you heard of the Harvard MIT Pigeon Prank?
An MIT student dressed in a
black-and-white striped shirt went to the Harvard football stadium every
day of one summer, blowing a whistle while scattering breadcrumbs or
birdseed to coax neighborhood pigeons down onto the field. At
Harvard’s opening game of the season, upon the referee’s first whistle,
it’s said that hundreds of pigeons descended onto the field, causing a
half-hour delay.
Its funny to watch the horrific, gradual mutation that automatically occurs over the years to my lego club account i made in 2001 to save progress in flash games
The United Auto Workers are also negotiating new contracts with the big three US car manufacturers and have announced that they’re prepared to strike if they can’t get a fair deal.

I always thought this was the most unrealistic part of all of The Truman Show. If Truman grew up with people around him regularly stopping their normal conversations to do a quick product ad, not only would he think it was normal, he’d also start doing it himself. He’d drive the producers nuts by regularly doing ads for things they weren’t paid to do ads for. No Truman! Talk about the toothpaste! The toothpaste! The mouthwash company didn’t pay us nearly enough for you to hawk their products! Maybe we can charge them an unexpected Truman marketing surcharge. Now how do we get him to talk about the toothpaste? Maybe if we have his wife tell him his teeth are getting much whiter.
But he would really drive them crazy by doing ads for things that aren’t products. “Mmmmm, water! Cool and refreshing.”
She is an actress, and she is also a human woman, and she is this man’s wife, who has been lying to him for years.
Does she know that the Show-Runners recently brought in a Very Pretty Brunette Co-Worker to her husband/unwitting co-star’s workplace? Is she scared of leaving this Ultimate Reality-Show Spotlight that she’s been living under since she was a teenager?
Is she scared of angering the TV Network by refusing to bring a little Truman Jr into the world? She’s been married to Truman for years at this point. She LIVES in this camera-filled town, and if Truman breaks, the whole show breaks with him.
I guarantee They have unpublished footage of her & Truman’s marital bed, and she knows it, and Revenge Porn is a very real fear. What does her contract look like? How old was SHE, when she agreed to “Marry her High-School Sweetheart”?
How long has she been in the habit of trying to avoid or deflect from Uncomfortable Conversations with her husband (who she’s known at least since High School, who she watched on TV for years before that, who she’s been lying to throughout their entire relationship) by trying to do a Commercial Break?
Has she learned to bite back curse-words, because it’s not the Right Image for the character she’s supposed to play? To recite product-shills until somebody can feed her the right lines, until Truman stops going off-script, until the singular element of chaos in her carefully-curated world just GETS WITH THE PROGRAM ALREADY?!
How often has Truman tried to talk to her about emotions, their relationship, their strange little town, or the future… only for her to deflect by talking about the latest food or gadget or designer-dress she bought, instead?
How often have his friends said, let’s not talk about travel; let’s talk about my new Greenman Hedge-Trimmers instead ?
How long has he been biting back the words, when they all try to avoid talking about REAL things by promoting their new favorite toy?
every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”
Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird
They…they just blew up a fucking bird…
Ball’s dead. Bird’s dead. I’m dead
