I may be a shitty boyfriend, but… turns out I’m actually a pretty damn good babysitter.

You’ll feel so homesick that you’ll want to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won’t kill you. And one day the sun will come out - you might not even notice straight away, it’ll be that faint. And then you’ll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who’s only yours. And you’ll realise… that this is where your life is. — Brooklyn (2015) dir. John Crowley

Zeus knew that one day Ares might return to finish his mission. An endless war where mankind would finally destroy themselves and us with them. So Zeus, left us a weapon. One powerful enough to kill a god. — Wonder Woman (2017) dir. Patty Jenkins

If anybody’s wondering what’s happening here, this clip made it onto Outrageous Acts of Science, and they explained that this teacher was demonstrating the Leidenfrost effect, which is basically when you place a droplet of a liquid on a surface that’s far hotter than its boiling point. The part of the drop touching the hot surface turns into vapor and forms a cushion that the rest of the drop rests on top of, which causes it to skid across the floor so quickly. The substance the teacher uses in the video is liquid methane. But methane has a really low boiling point. Like, about −160 °C low. So once it touches the comparatively hot floor, the Leidenfrost effect comes into play, and it slides across the floor. The issue is though, methane is colorless, so you can’t normally see it. Thankfully (in this demonstration), methane is also very flammable, so he sets it on fire before dumping it onto the floor so you can see it as it moves. Definitely a cooler demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect than dropping a little water in a hot pan. Or hotter, if you like puns.

Stranger Things 3 Story, Updates from Producers

Stranger Things Season 2 is finally here, which means it’s time to start asking and speculating about Season 3. I thought Season 2 was not only a delightful return, but a rare sequel that matched (if not surpassed) its initial outing.

Leo Frank is the protagonist of the musical Parade, and an INTJ. He is one of relatively few fictional INTJs that don’t fall into the role of villain or mastermind. These traditional INTJ roles are the results of stereotypes - INTJs can only be cold and detached, can only be planners focused on logic, and so on. But Leo Frank helps to fight back against these stereotypes as a sympathetic and good character in the twisted world featured in Parade.

Perhaps the most common stereotype about INTJs is that they are only attuned to logic and tend to be detached. In his own way, Leo is detached - likely an effect of his dominant introverted intuition (Ni) and inferior extroverted sensing (Se). He cannot find a way to adapt to the world of the south, and instead throws himself into his work and his own mind. But he is not callous and emotionless - far from it. He is quiet and shy rather than stuck up in his own thoughts. He shows genuine concern over the death of Mary Phagan, and then goes on to demonstrate his despair at getting branded a murderer and his growing affection for his wife, Lucille.

But the stereotypes of INTJs do not escape Leo - they are part of what get him into a great deal of trouble as he is blamed for the rape and murder of Mary Phagan. He is painted as a manipulator who uses his intellect through auxiliary extroverted thinking (Te) to lure young girls up to his office in order to have sexual contact with them (Se). His quiet and distant nature, formed by dominant Ni and tertiary introverted feeling (Fi) makes it easy for people to project an image onto him. Combine this with his presence as a Jewish man from the north, and he quickly becomes a monster in the eyes of the Southerners.

In spite of all these ways that Leo’s own personality and identity is twisted against him, the audience is able to see another side to him. He is clearly a protagonist, which is a welcome change from many other INTJ characters. His shyness and distance help the audience to empathize with him, and realize just how corrupted those features become in the accusations of the press and public. He is not conniving in any way - he is simply trying to live his life as he ends up surrounded by hatred.

Leo Frank does not get a happy ending. He, like INTJs in general, is made out to be a villain that he clearly is not. But his journey, his presence as a protagonist, shows hope that perhaps INTJs may not always be the villain after all.
