Remember webrings? Here’s one for all of my blogs!
it’s the year 2080. the expressions “the horse has left the hospital” and “between a crematorium and a dildo store” have fully entered the lexicon even though barely anyone remembers where they originated. one day the kids who live in the Amazon Temperate Habitat Bubble next door ask me what was between the proverbial crematorium and dildo store in the first place. i rip off my Amazoxygen® Ventilator and gasp, “the fucking horse” and immediately die from the polluted air in my probably-covid-ravaged lungs. haunted by these cryptic last words, the kids bury themselves in the ancient runes of the Internet Archive until they find the meme that unlocks it all. the horse was one of the last presidents of the late american empire, a lynchpin in the slow disintegration of the union. suddenly, a drone flies directly through the window. “forbidden word detected: ‘union’,” it says, gearing up its Amazon Brainbuster Electric Reinforcement System. they run
okay, but next person who sees one of these ads, would you be willing to take a bullet for us all and click on it?
I haven’t gotten another one, and I’d really like to know what Randy Jackson is doing with all these lemons
finally got another one! and yeah, it’s definitely some kind of health scam
but?? the website?? has no lemons??
I haven’t seen a single mention of lemons??
who had Randy Jackson take multiple pictures posed with lemons, only to make a site that had not a single lemon?
I’m disappointed
the lemons are edited in
so Randy Jackson didn’t pose with lemons
okay, for ads #1 and #3 on this post, I could believe that - he’s not in contact with any of the lemons, and they could easily be put in later
but in that second picture, his hands fit perfectly around the lemons he’s holding. and those do appear to be his arms - or at least, the same arms as in the other pictures, because the bracelet and watch are the same.
I can’t find these pictures anywhere else online, though - googling “randy jackson lemons” finds me only this image:
and, disappointingly, absolutely no vintage RPF! I was hoping there’d be some relics from the early days of the American Idol fandom, but no such luck :(
anyway, the lemons in that picture do look photoshopped as hell - but Randy’s wearing the same shirt, watch, and bracelet as in the other ads. and the reflection in his glasses looks very similar to the 3rd ad as well.
so, photoshopped or not, it seems he did do some sort of kitchen-related photoshoot, and I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that at least ad #2 could show him actually holding a lemon
either way, someone’s gone to an awful lot of work to prove that Randy Jackson has an affinity for lemons, when I can find almost no evidence of that being the case
new randy jackson lemon just dropped
any time I find a new one, I’ll come back and edit this reblog
one more from @mossandsnalls - a rare, non-lemon Randy Jackson!
She’s actually “correct” in a nefarious way by asking you to Google it yourself because, yeah, OP is wrong. He doesn’t use child slavery to source lithium…
He uses child slavery to source cobalt to make lithium batteries
So by asking you to do your own research on the lithium sources, she’s derailing in his favor.
This is the same tactic the United States Atomic Energy Comission (now just the Department of Energy) intentionally misinformed uranium miners, mine owners, mill employees, and the general public during the uranium boom in the 40s-60s.
The AEC would put together “informational” seminars, videos, and presentations as propaganda for mine staff, miners, downwinders, the public, anyone involved. Their main tactic was the insistence that “Uranium is so weakly radioactive, it presented no hazard in uranium mines ” and while that is *technically* correct, Uranium isnt what kills you, its the Radium and Radon that Uranium decomposes into… the VERY carefully selected words by people headong organisation are always insidious. Dont expect them to mean anything but exactly what they say.
The worst part is this tactic WORKS and we need to be pointing out the other part of the story not being told by these people whos only agenda is to grow their bank account while sacrificing human lives.
how effective? if youve played fallout you may have heard on the radio the real world song from the 40s ‘uranium fever’ about people who were hoping to strike it rich by literally just wandering around the desert with a giger counter hoping to find deposits of radioactive material they could then prospect and sell like they were stinky pete finding gold nuggets. the misinformation was that widespread
thats a real chunk of history that is so bonkers you can use it as satire right under peoples noses and they dont register its disturbing meaning
we should take the “does it spark joy?” question to social media. go through your facebook, remove friends that do not spark joy, go through instagram and unfollow people and pages that do not spark joy. don’t surround yourself with things that don’t make you happy.
Marie Kondo your dashboard

One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.
Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.
Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.
A modern adaptation of Dracula where you keep seeing Jonathan Harker’s face on bus stop bench ads for his realtor office.
