We call musicals unrealistic because people randomly burst into song but I’ve been home alone for like 3 days and I start singing about what I’m doing every 5 minutes

[tacomel420]

singing in musicals: *perfect harmonies* we’re all in this together!

singing to myself: *one note only* heating up some soup! heating up some soup! ya put it in the microwave and watch it spin around!

I'm sorry but art needs it's context posted by it when in a museum. Not everyone understands why Malevich painted his black squares. Not all patrons will understand Rothko's thoughts pressed between his layers of paint. And not every one will be able to look at Kandinsky's symphony's on canvas and know what's going on. Every piece in every museum aught to have what it is, why it's important, and why/where it was created, and what reaction it got. I'm tired of the elitism in artistic culture that makes people feel as though they could never understand it. It's because they know the context and you don't! And museums have failed at that for years. It's their job to teach us, just as much as it's our job to be willing to learn.

“The camera adds 10 pounds” is a phrase of the past. Now people look better in their pictures than they do in person

[kichengunnet]

When people say that the camera adds ten pounds it’s because cameras used in filmmaking/TV production have a wider focal length and therefore subjects look wider or bigger. Whereas cellphone cameras have a short focal length that makes subjects appear thinner or smaller.

Nowadays, with DSLR’s and a variety of lenses, we are able to depict a wide range of focal lengths by using one kind of camera.

So that is why most people on social media may seem to look thinner than they do in person (especially in selfies because the front facing camera on phones especially have short focal lengths).

And that is also how the phrase “the camera adds ten pounds” came about.

this is actually so interesting I had no idea

your honour, I did not read the terms and conditions, in fact I closed my eyes and clicked the mouse at random which the software incorrectly assumed constituted a legal and binding agreement on my part.

I mean we joke but it has literally been determined in a court of law that a checkbox does not constitute a signature and an average EULA is not a valid contract.

“Geographically, I was in New York, I was in a hotel, in a room, where I had a few friends there. Jack Antonoff was there, who produced a lot of the songs on the record with me and wrote several things with me. I had my parents, I had a lot of people on the management team who have been absolutely killing themselves for six months preparing for this release. Basically, I had 20-25 people in the room, and suddenly one person - I think it was me and I was on Tumblr and one of my fans was like ‘Guys it’s on iTunes!’ – and that happened ten minutes early, and I was like ‘Guys check your phones it’s on iTunes!’ And so we all just started freaking out, playing songs on our phones. These are songs I’ve only been able to hear, just me in headphones, I’ve never been able to play them out loud on the phone for the past year or so. It was just an incredible experience, and then what happens at midnight is thee reviews start posting, because these journalists have heard the album beforehand, it gets sent secretly. Reviews started hitting and I’m like, ‘These are the best reviews I’ve ever gotten in my entire career.’ My hands were on my face, I was fully in shambles, like ‘What is going on?’ and Jack was reading Rolling Stone’s review out loud. I was like on the floor.”

““There should be a word for when you commit treason against an entire planet.” As early as 1977, one of Exxon’s own scientists explained to the company’s executives that their products were causing a greenhouse effect, and that there would be only “five to ten years before the need for hard decisions regarding changes in energy strategies might become critical.” By 1982, McKibben writes, “the company’s scientists concluded that heading off global warming would ‘require major reductions in fossil fuel combustion’” or risk “potentially catastrophic events.” Exxon used predictions of ice retreat to lengthen their drilling season in the Arctic, and raised drilling platforms to accommodate sea-level rise. He recounts the deliberate strategy of oil executives and their pet politicians to, as one Exxon official put it, “emphasize the uncertainty” of climate science. “I’ve lived the last thirty years inside that lie,” McKibben realizes, “engaged in an endless debate over whether global warming was ‘real’—a debate in which both sides knew the answer from the beginning.””
