So you're telling me that Aegon was willing to die, alone against an army, just to stay by his dragon's side, stay strong, stay King. His pride and honor were more important to him than his life, and he was so, so brave. And Sunfyre, sensing that his rider was in danger, came to the rescue? It's a whole three course meal are you kidding me.
simon trying to pacify aemond like he did daemon was so fucking funny like nooo this one’s crazy crazy
hotd + text posts
Not mentioning Lucerys when Aemond is in the goddamn Strong castle with his aunt makes no sense. Because Alys knew Harwin, she knew about the children. And she surely saw Lucerys's death. And no mention? Zero !?! Especially since it was Lucerys's death that started everything, and Aemond felt remorse. He didn't care about killing Rhaenys, he didn't care about burning his brother, but he cried for Lucerys. He cried! And despite that, not a single mention in the season? It's ridiculous. Come on.
alicent showing up at harrenhal and it becomes a meet the mother-in-law comedy. alicent talking around the fact that she knows aemond and alys are fucking. alys having to save aemond's dumb ass from certain death again. baela thinking alyn wants to ask for her hand in marriage but actually it's addam flirting with her. (girl what?? you've kissed once??) aegon realizing he could've lived if he didn't decide to die gloriously/overestimating his ability to die bravely (oh no no no no) and then having to lock in. ormund being ormund insulting gwayne's dead not-boyfriend and considering veganism after corlys doesn't want to be his friend. ormund giving ulf the glamping experience after his shit camping experience at harrenhal. the episode ending on ulf grinning maniacally into the camera. i was cackling.

House of the Dragon + Reductress Headlines (27/?)
the obsession tb stans have with comparing rhaenyra to visenya and daenerys needs to be studied💀
They can’t just let Rhaenyra be Rhaenyra. Every five business days she’s either "the new Visenya" or "Daenerys before Daenerys." She can’t exist as her own character without being propped up by two of the most iconic Targaryen women.
Rhaenyra gets compared to Visenya and Daenerys because they’re silver-haired Targaryen women with dragons who were involved in struggles over power. That’s where the parallels begins and ends. Then people start listing parallels like, "They both fought for the throne" or "They both had miscarriages," as if miscarriages weren’t tragically common throughout Targaryen history and throughout ASOIAF more broadly. It also ends up missing the point of Daenerys story and reducing her into someone she’s not. As if Dany is just as driven by entitlement, misogyny, or narcissistic ambition as Rhaenyra, when their motivations, circumstances, and character arcs are different.
there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity!
alright everyone is being sassy but nobody has brought up the actual reason why scientists are interested in the titanic in the notes
Per wikipedia:
The Titanic was made of steel, presumably to resist corrosion (i mean. thats why boats are made of steel i assume) but even when iron/steel rusts people did not expect to find like. decomposition. bacteria are EATING the titanic.
and there's wood furniture from the titanic that isn't decaying. hell, there are wood ships at the bottom of the ocean that archaeologists study. so the expectation people have for the titanic is not that the steel would decompose at the bottom of the ocean. Even in 100 years, since there are much more ancient preserved wooden ships iirc.
(im not particularly knowledgeable about ships, i just had heard about the science going on around the titanic so i wanted to clarify that on this post for people)
The Titanic is an exceptionally weird whalefall basically.
Not a marine biologist but biologist enough to weigh in on this. The reason we have iron eating bacteria but not wood eating bacteria at the bottom of the ocean is simple. Hydrothermal vents release a cocktail of different mineral ores into the ocean. And bacteria and other organisms evolved alongside those so they evolved to digest these, like iron or other metal ores
Wood however does not exist at the bottom of the ocean since it basically never sinks down, even when logs are flushed out into the ocean they basically never end up at the ocean floor. So there's no bacteria that evolved to decompose lignin, which is already complex enough to decompose on the surface. And that's why wooden ships or the furniture on the Titanic stay intact for hundreds of years or longer.
Okay, but I remember reading a magazine stating that the titanic would basically be gone by now because of the rust eating the ship.
The sister ship HMHS Britannic is still perfectly preserved because of the way it sank, and partly in due to the coral that has grown around it keeping the structure in tact I believe was the reason.
Coral acting like a living fossil specifically for sunken ships is the coolest thing I've ever heard
So lemme get this straight, the Titanic is a whalefall, the Britannic is a biological mummy, and all the wood ships that sink into the deep ocean are preserved incorrupt because nothing can eat them.
Zombie, mummy, lich, respectively.
