Empire of Japan, for all its faults, was ready to end World War II before the bomb. The diplomats literally asked to surrender to the USA, but asked to let the Soviet Union be at the negotiating table because the Soviet Union's Red Army was a short distance from Hokkaido (reaching the Sakhlins and Manchuria) and was sure to launch an attack on it. Hokkaido, being one of the so-called Home Islands (I don't like this term for Hokkaido), was just as dire in the eyes of the politicians of the Empire of Japan as the impending invasion on Kyushu.
Since the USA did not want to do a joint trusteeship of Japan like with Korea or heaven forbid, risk the USSR being the sole influencer of Japan, rather than letting the USSR get in on the negotiation, the USA demanded unconditional surrender. This was something that the Empire of Japan could not do, given that the USA's ally in the war would still fight them after the surrender. So, of course, the diplomats declined, and this is used as a pretext to nuke 2 cities full of civilians (including non-Japanese civilians). They dropped a horrific weapon never used before or since on a country that's ready to surrender because they didn't want their allies at the negotiating table. Is that the "best option"? For whom? The USA? At what cost? Just admit to yourself that millions of Asian civilian lives aren't human in your eyes if it means the USA gets a new country to exploit if this is the line you're pushing.
oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now
remember:
there’s no boycott on going to see new media
but there is a promotional blackout
don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them
I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.
prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo
don’t reblog their shit
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
