Media sometimes uses a snarky butler as a sign of a weak or ineffectual employer, but man, if I had that kind of money, I’d pay extra for a butler who was quick-witted enough to just burn me to the ground at a moment’s notice.

This is the principle behind medieval jesters

Hey what the fuck happened to all the net neutrality coverage

This shit is still happening people, and all of the sudden its disappeared from my dash almost entirely over night

I don’t know why, but I think people are automatically being unfollowed from the Net Neutrality tag. It happens to me every time I try to follow it. I’ll follow the tag, come back 20 minutes later & I’ll for some reason have unfollowed the tag automatically. I think this may be happening to a majority of people in an attempt to silence the resistance. Please take a screen shot of this post in case it gets deleted.

hey yeah can yall reblog this cause this is very important. Tumblr is ACTIVELY trying to silence out outrage at this by making us incapable of seeing coverage of events. We’re all gonna have to come together and step up about this.

Every little note counts, spread the word, dont give in so easily

I just checked this and i can CONFIRM that tumblr AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAGS AFTER 20 MINUTES

Please spread the word! Screen shot this post just in case it gets deleted!!

There is a reason that happens.  Tumblr is OWNED by Verizon who is a leader in throwing money at getting rid of Net Neutrality.  They have spent literally millions to bring it down so that they can charge you more, slow down your internet and block you from sites they do not deem appropriate.  Keep sending in letters, emails and making phone calls.  IF you post about it ADD links for FS!

Ok this is really freaking me out so I’m just gonna keep on typing “SIGNAL BOOST” on this

thisentertaining:

I want a Hawkeyes movie where Hawkeyes is deaf like in the comics, and in the first five minutes he loses his hearing aids, and the rest of the movie is silent except for a constant running commentary of what Hawkeyes is thinking until the very end when he gets his hearing aids back.

And there would be closed captions or something for when people use sign language.

And when people don’t sign and he has to read lips, they should get genuinely hard of hearing people to translate so that they know what words or phrases are hard to catch by lip reading.

Also, lots of explosions with no sound. I feel like that would just be cool.

Id like to note that Verizon acquired both Tumblr and Yahoo last year. Verizon happens to be one of the companies lobbying the FCC to gut Net Neutrality.

So I’m seeing a very interesting fight behind the scenes here.

Tumblr staff has been supporting the fight for Net Neutrality since it became an issue, and I’m guessing that Verizon noticed. So they tied staff’s hands and are forcing them to make it a nonissue. And staff has to comply for now because if they don’t they’ll just be fired and replaced with people who will.

I for one prefer our quirky ineffective overlords to whatever fresh hell Verizon could dream up. So it’s fine that they’re sabotaging us like this. We just need to be more creative about storing and disseminating information like this.

I don’t agree with what’s happening but I think it’s important to understand WHY it’s happening.

Find ways to fight back. Tag the material with alternate names. Fuck with tumblrs screening algorithms, since people have already figured out how it works for the most part.

Verizon can’t keep it out of the limelight forever.
