glee would have covered despasito

Schue would be the one singing it…

And he’d pull out his fucking sombrero to wear again. 

This is so depressing, Brad play Don’t Stop Believin’

a lot of people are talking about how it’s pointless to boycott Amazon during the strike bc Amazon has so many subsidiaries that it seems impossible to avoid them all for a week.

but the strike is about warehouse workers for Amazon.com specifically.

if you can avoid whole foods and audible etc. during the strike, go for it!! but the really essential piece is that you do not purchase anything from Amazon.com for the duration of the strike. it’s okay to be specific here.

it is better to do something than nothing, and in this case, no one is even expecting a boycott of all the subsidiaries – the part that will be most traceable to the strike will be the drop in purchases from Amazon.com anyway.

Do not visit Amazon.com until 17 July 2018 or until the strike ends, whichever happens last.

people are talking about it like it’s just the 10th but please prime day here is not until the 16th/17th

please observe the whole week long strike

not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is literally an essential part of a strike.

Amazon brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. Even a one-day boycott could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially if the boycott coincided with one of the most profitable days Amazon expected to have all year, as this one does.

Do not visit Amazon.com on 10 July 2018 (or July 15-16 in the US)!

While we’re talking about effective boycotting, boycotting Amazon means more than boycotting Amazon, because Amazon has subsidiaries that also help it make money. If you’re going to boycott Amazon, you also need to boycott the following subsidiaries:

  • AWS Elemental
  • AbeBooks
  • Alexa Internet
  • Audible
  • Blink Home
  • Brilliance Audio
  • ComiXology
  • CreateSpace
  • Diapers.com
  • Double Helix Games
  • Evi
  • Fabric.com
  • GoodReads
  • IMDb
  • Junglee
  • Mobipocket
  • Ring
  • Shelfari
  • Shopbop
  • Souq.com
  • TenMarks Education, Inc.
  • Twitch
  • Whole Foods Market
  • Woot
  • Zappos

A boycott is not effective unless you attack it on all fronts. This is why boycotting things like McDonalds or Coca Cola are so ineffective– they have so many subsidiaries and supporting businesses that they can afford a frontal hit and still make money from its “family” companies. 

If you truly want to help this boycott, make sure to boycott Amazon and its subsidiaries.

My friends and I are having a discussion on insurance policies in the MCU, and we’ve decided we want GEICO and progressive and Allstate and State Farm and farmers commercials all advertising their “superhero plans” that cover damages during Alien invasions and superhero temper tantrums.

Omg, can you imagine??? 

“Car been used as a battering ram by Captain America? We got you covered.”

“Facing roof damage caused by falling debris? We got you covered.”

“Forced to shut down business for the week due to road closures from the latest Iron Man vs. Doombots battle? We got you covered.”

 “Lawn and structural damage due to the Hulk? We got you covered.”

And so on…

[VIDEO: Parody sketch from the night Tony Stark goes on SNL. He is wearing a truly terrible cardboard version of the Iron Man suit and “flies” into the scene by jumping onto a box and posing with his arms out in front of him.]

TONY: “I’ve got great news for you, gang!”

“NATASHA” [played by Kate McKinnon in a bad red wig]: “You’ve closed the space portal and prevented the universe from ending?”

TONY: “No, I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.”

“CLINT” [played by Colin Jost in a purple T-shirt, carrying a Nerf bow and firing little foam darts toward stage left]: “But Tony, you’re already gazillionaire!”

TONY: “Yeah, because I do smart things with my money like switching to Geico.”

CARDBOARD BUILDING: *is pushed over by stagehands, falling humorously next to Tony*

TONY: “Boy, I sure hope they had renters’ insurance!”

MAYHEM: “I’m a damaged Iron Man suit, falling out of the sky, right in front of your car.” *crashes onto road, car swerves into ditch*

MAYHEM: “I’m Captain America’s shield, ricocheting off of an extra-dimensional portal.“ *crashes through apartment window*

MAYHEM’S ACTOR, ANSWERING DOOR AT HOME: “Yeah?”
LOKI: “I will, with absolutely no guile or deal-making whatsoever, give you a million dollars to pretend to be Thor’s hammer if you do the accent.”

MAYHEM, NEXT DAY: “Verily, I am Mjolnir, Hammer of the Thunder God, Which may only be moved by the righteous and worthy, and I’m blocking the Starbucks drive-thru. Looks like Karen in her Suburban didn’t see me.” *Karen’s truck flips over and lands on another vehicle, coffee cups flying everywhere*

[SCENE: A GUY and his DATE are standing outside his car. Camera pans to front of car, which has been smashed by falling debris.]

GUY: Aw, aliens again, man? Come on!

DATE: Don’t worry, I have State Farm! [singing] Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there! 

STATE FARM REP: [appears in puff of smoke]

DATE: Oooh, with Captain America!

CAPTAIN AMERICA: [appears, looking confused. DATE immediately runs over to him, clinging to his arm. Captain America valiantly removes the debris from the car.]

GUY: Uh, let me try. Uh… come on… car insurance, be there? With Black Widow?

THOUSANDS OF SPIDERS: [appear from thin air]

GUY: [screaming]
