    It’s reasonably safe to Google, it’s about this letter where the FBI encourage Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide, using particularly abusive, dehumanising and degrading language. The content of the letter isn’t necessarily hard to read the if you want to read it, particularly as it didn’t work, but it’s still bad to know that this was an official government plot.

    The development of the meta of the meme became adding him to more and more outrageous hiding spots, which isn’t really captured on knowyourmeme.

    I think this works because it’s a surprisingly good hiding spot because he sort of blends in to the aesthetic of the image, but is silly for obvious reasons to anyone who’s tried hiding inside a forearm.

    Also the fact that he was snuck into images like this makes his appearance come with a sort of “gotcha” moment, a little like recognising Loss or similar memes. The humour is for people who’ve seen it before, but not for a while, who go “haha mouse… Oh goddammit” when they see it.







  • Hell yeah I should have said that really. My friend has an embroidery machine and we use inkstitch for inkscape to do that.

    I don’t really move between lightroom, inkscape and Photoshop often but I do move between premier pro, after effects and audition often enough via the way they embed into eachother, and I presume there is similar functionality between those. This helps cement me using something like audition over audacity just because I’m trained on premier pro and don’t wanna retrain on DaVinci Resolve.

    One thing I don’t really ever coming across in the harry potter books were people being exhausted by powerful spells, perhaps I just can’t remember a case where that happens.

    It’s always portrayed that you need a base magical ability and then from then all it’s all knowhow.

    I’m not really a fan of the writing of Harry Potter, it often falls into a trap of being a mystery adventure where the puzzles are then trivialised by magic which seems forgotten next time it would be applicable, and I like to try to race the characters to solutions which you can’t really do in this format.

    I’d love to write a TV show in the harry potter universe starring a squib (someone incapable of having magical powers who knows if the wizarding world) running a mundane repair shop for wizards in London near Diagon Alley. They’d basically be losing their minds at the regular cast of wizards being upsettingly inefficient and naive with their magical potential, while also running this repair shop for them that looks more like an antiques shop. It would definitely explore these questions as the protagonist pins down their wizard friends and makes them do multiple wand tests etc. The whole show would lovingly poke fun at the unanswered questions and plot holes of the Harry Potter universe and consistently paint the wizards as lovable but arrogant goofs who never had a proper education past 11 years old.

    This could quickly be explained away as a contingent spell that specifically stops common muggle weapons.

    The one moment that really irks me in the concept of wizard wars is a moment in deathly hallows. The gang are captured in Malfoy Manor and Harry manages to grab 3 wands from Draco Malfoy’s hand, and casts stupify on Fenrir Greyback, who is hit with thrice the intensity and fucking basically dies.

    If this works why aren’t wizards rocking bundles of wands, let’s see Harry use expeliarmus to counter Voldie’s wizard wand Gatling gun of avada kedavra, or a bundle of wands casting sectumsempura and fucking turning a wizard to mince.

    Wanna hit me with the torture curse you wizard nerd? I’ll just use my bundle of sticks, my wand strap to Wingardium Leviosa you straight into the sun.
