It’s pretty bad when Fox News has less-shitty journalism than you.

[sanityscraps]

Holy DAMN.

[everydaytonic]

Sometimes my belief in the good that a person can do is obliterated by the stupidity that we as a people are capable of.

me: (out shopping, looking all fly with my Marvel comics tote bag featuring several characters)

dude: nice bag.

me: thanks. (keeps on shopping)

dude: do you even know who all those characters are?

me: uh... yeah?

dude: ok then, who's that guy? (points at a character on the bag)

me:

me: wait, are you asking me to prove that I'm enough of a fan enough to carry this bag?

dude: (smirks) that's what I thought. He's called the Silver Surfer. I bet you don't even know his real name.

me: does it matter? (starts to edge away before I start punching throats)

dude: psh, you're not a real fan.

me:

me: (slowly unsheathing my Wolverine claws)

me: how many pairs of chromosomes do humans contain in their cells?

dude: uh... what?

me: explain the function of cellular mitosis?

dude:

me: what is the purpose of myelin sheath with regards to the formation of new neural pathways?

dude: what are you even talking about?

me: oh, well it seemed that you were implying that if I don't know as much about the Marvel universe as you do, then I can't possibly be considered a real fan. This is me implying that because you don't know as much about the human body as I do, you can't possibly be considered a real human being.

dude:

dude:

dude:

dude: Um, I... wow. You're right. Have a nice day. (starts to shuffle away)

me: his name is Norrin Radd.

dude: (looks extremely embarrassed)

Would you be able to live in a house that’s only 120 square feet? 

These people have made it work. And their Tiny House Movement challenges the way we think about modern living.

[everydaytonic]

Tiny Houses! I have a friend who is looking to do this in the great city of DC. I hope with the new zoning update that she can!

[zac-gorman]

Thanks, Mom!

I remember these days of my childhood too. There was certainly something magical about opening the plastic on a new game, taking out the cartridge (or later disk), ignoring the instructions and slipping it in to play. 

Seeing the opening cutscene was like living the first page of a book. Simply magical.

I love you, Feonix Fawkes + Old Raggety Mountain + 8K

I have trouble with personal writing, and all writing, due to the constant bubbling of contradictory feelings and impulses. I don’t agree with myself for more than a second or twenty. it was pretty terrible last night, when I was nervous at the Coupe with B, and trying to talk about normal things that people talk about in 24hourdiner-bar-restaurant-trendy, but I kept trying to pare down what I was saying into its most correct form. I probably seemed a little crazy. I’m not very good at coffee dates sometimes.

An amazing blog post from my partner-in-justice/crime. I heartily recommend combining hiking mountains with 8Ks. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. But really, it was amazing. I want to be outside all the time.

This makes me miss my dog, Cocoa. He passed away this June the 13th on my dad's birthday. :(

Mohamed Babu 

“Dr. Mohamed Babu of Mysore, South India, noticed something strange about the ants scurrying around on the floor of his kitchen: after drinking some spilled milk, their abdomens turned white. Realizing the insects’ bodies were transparent, he got an idea for a stunning set of photographs.

Mixing different varieties of food coloring along with sugar, water and a waxy base, he set out small droplets of liquid on a white plastic sheet outside in his garden and let the ants do the rest.

‘As the ant’s abdomen is semi-transparent, the ants gain the colors as they sip the liquid,’ he said. 

Striving to get the best possible photos, Babu ran into an unexpected problem: too many ants. ‘I really toiled to get a photo. The crowd always used to become unmanageable within a few minutes and while I managed my camera with my right hand, my left hand was busy removing the extra ants.’ After a number of repeated attempts, he finally got the photos he was looking for.

‘Curiously, the ants preferred light colors—yellow and green. The darker green and blue drops had no takers, until there was no space around the preferred yellow and green drops.’ Some of the ants even wandered between the colors, creating unique mixtures of different hues inside their own stomachs.”

Colorful Friday Post!

love note to introverts.

Hey introverts. Yea, I see you. You in the cool jacket, you with the book, you sipping that sweet tea. I see you. I think you’re hot. Super hot. Like, to date. So, I’m an extrovert. I get energy from groups of people - I tend to be louder, to talk faster, to relish new social interactions and get a rush from making lots of new aquaintances. If I wake up in a pile of people, go out marketing from bar to bar (with hundreds of new faces), go to a gym class, and go out dancing, I’ve had a great, normal day. I talked to some folks on the bus! They were cool! And you, ms/mr introvert, I think you’re the best.

The HAL exoskeleton from Cyberdyne. 

This week Cyberdyne unveiled a robotic exoskeleton called HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) that allows its wearer to carry superhuman loads while shielding them from radiation. With the Fukushima nuclear disaster still fresh in Japan’s national memory, the research team designed HAL to aid workers in dismantling the damaged power plant. The most incredible part is that the suit can be controlled by brainwaves! A network of sensors monitors electric signals coming from the user’s brain and uses them to activate the robot’s limbs in unison with the worker’s, allowing them to move without supporting the suit’s weight. As such, the 130-pound suit is barely noticeable to those wearing it.

Two scientists walk into a bar

The first says “I’ll have some H2O.”

The second says “I’ll have some H2O, too.”

Both of them receive water because the bartender is not irresponsible enough to serve concentrated hydrogen peroxide as a drink.

This is the amazing community that I am a part of and that has been the inspiration for at least 1/3 of the content on my Tumblr.

The story of a seriously ill friend who quit his job and had no insurance shows me why we need Obamacare. With it, he might have gone to a doctor in time.

[everydaytonic]

This certainly needs to be shared. Stories like this remind us of why all these debates and politics are important.

----

Sidenote to holoclothes: I think this is a great example of why Tumblr can be good for blogging. While a more typical layout like Blogger or Wordpress allows you to write more editorials, Tumblr lets you share anything that strikes you whether you have time to talk about it or not.
