Oh hey "we can use your body without compensation once you die" was one of the things I put into my book series as a way of indicating precisely how massively fucked up this one society there is, once you start digging beneath surface appearances!
Rose O'Neill knew what was up
you Wish you has a monster wife as big and tender as this
Yes this is the same Rose O'Neill who invented Kewpies
A quote from O'Neill: “The buffoonery of the Kewpies and the passion of my serious drawings playing side by side is unusual, but not too unusual. In this droll existence, the Hamlet and Lear have always consorted with the clown.”
Here’s some more of her “Sweet Monsters”. This series was very personal to her, and she meant to keep all these drawings private until Auguste Rodîn insisted she show them.
You can read about this collection HERE and see more in person if you’re ever in the Ozarks.
So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

Found a picture of the stage setup with the UV lights
The contractor who set up the lights used bulbs that emit uv-c light, which is mostly used for sterilization
I did a quick search for the bulbs and almost every result mentions sterilization or germicide, I have to assume it's impossible to purchase these, (in bulk! enough to light a stage!) without knowing that they're for killing living organisms.
#fucking INSANE#i'd love to be like ''lol they deserve it'' but this is such a fucked up thing to do to a captive audience????#also love how the one guy is like ''ur good guys so u'll do the right thing and make a statement... right? :)''#but fr this is so fucked up i hope they use all their crypto bro money to sue the hell out of the event organizers
Yeah I don't think this is something anyone reasonably deserves. I mean, we can roll our eyes at people dumb enough to pour all their money into the Stupidest Scam Ever, but I think 'the lights at this concert meet basic safety standards' is a reasonable assumption for anyone to make. I don't interrogate the people at my local cinema about what kind of UV lights they have, I just assume they're using normal ones that won't send me blind. That guy up there is being weirdly forgiving of these penny-pinching arseholes ("you're good guys" THEY BLINDED YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WITH THE STUPIDEST SAFETY VIOLATION POSSIBLE) but this one's entirely on the organisers.
Of course, the really stupid thing would be if they're too addicted to the taste of boot leather to organise a class action lawsuit. They better sue. The organisers should be paying every cent of lost work, general suffering and medical care costs.
#a) how does this happen and b) why don't other situations with uv lights do this?#like i used to go to laser tag that had uv lights and we were fine?#or maybe that's black lights and it's different???#idk whatever the thing is that makes white clothes glow in the dark
They used a different kind of UV light, one for sterilising things. It emits a kind of UV that kills living tissue.
I don't know the details of the situation but I've heard people speculate that production of these sterilising lights was ramped up due to an expected surge in sales (due to Covid) that never materialised, so these guys probably went "oh sweet, incredibly cheap surplus UV lights someone's offloading" and did no further research on the matter. I have no idea how true that is, though.
Good fucking grief.
