The next time I see one of those “millenials will be photographing the end of the world” posts I’m gonna scream because let me tell you, I just went through a natural disaster and Snapchat literally saved people’s lives. Thanks to snapchat I knew exactly what roads were flooded, what stores were open, what my HOUSE looked like (since I wasn’t there), and which shelters I could go to. People were snapping/tweeting asking to be rescued and THEY WERE. I didn’t get my news from the tv, I saw it in real time on social media and I will never not be grateful for that.

#weirdcartoontheory The Big Bad Wolf sold his soul for talent and fame. The Three Little Bops was a musical short by Looney Toons in which the Three Little Pigs played jazz at a night club. They were good and the house was packed. The Big Bad Wolf wanted desperately to jam with them but he just wasn't good. Upon trying to play the horn, the crowd booed him mercilessly and the Pigs had him thrown out. He spent the remainder of the short trying by any means necessary get in and play with the Bops. By the end, he tried to blow up the entrance but ends up taking his own life. The singing narrator notes that the Wolf, "didn't go to Heaven, went the other place." Soon he returned to earth and floated into the club and began to play the horn, this time however, he was playing at expert level. One of the Bops remarks "The Big Bad Wolf, he learned the the rule. Sometimes you have to get hot to play real cool." #staywoke

Quick and dirty spoiler-free Deadpool review; 1. It was good. 2. They only tinkered with it a little bit and the changes made sense. 3. I don't really like the actor who played Weasel in anything else I've seen him in, but I LOVED him as Weasel. 4. Gina Carano gained sooo much weight to play Angel, and she looks glorious. She was my original pick for Wonder Woman, but y'all didn't hear me though. 5. Blind Al has always been one of my favorite supporting characters, and now you know why. 6. I will play the part of Cable. I will say every phrase from Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Then she was like...
