I made a quiz about ryan gosling characters!
ohh shit. Once Rocky arrived in the Tau Ceti system and got to work, it no longer mattered when he left the engine room to run around the ship (trying to use lab equipment and fixing things and trying and failing and fixing on and on and on). The reason Rocky didn't die of radiation poisoning during the 40+ years he was in the Tau Ceti system is because he was parked in the petrova line. His entire ship was in a cloud of astrophage. He never succeeded at capturing any but the fact that he never stopped trying quite literally kept him alive.

undertale tells a lot of stories but maybe my favorite one of the stories it tells is the story about a sad, angry, hateful child, who on being really and truly loved for the first time decided they were willing to die in order to kill anyone who could possibly hurt their family; and how by being unfailingly kind, and open, and helping and befriending the people who lash out at you in fear and despair, you can help even that child to a happier and more peaceful ending, to the belief that things can be okay
and how this character’s arc is told entirely through details in the flavor text and narration
if you play a genocide run then there’s plenty of evidence that the “narrator” is the fallen child, taking control of Frisk. the ending, for one, but also the way that the flavor text etc changes, like the mirror saying “It’s me, Chara” when you look into it (also contrasting with Frisk always being referred to in the second person)
unlike dialogue from the other characters, the flavor text doesn’t have a talksprite, just the little asterisk at the start. ergo in a pacifist run, the “Despite everything, it’s still you” when you look into the mirror in Home and the “Still just you, Frisk” if you go back to New Home after the endgame and look in the mirror are both Chara. so is this
play undertale, the skeleton meme game, and help the lost, formerly vengeful spirit of a dead child hug their brother one last time
#no i am not over undertale thank you for asking #just!!! just thinking about when the game tells you that there’s one more person you can SAVE #but there are TWO people!!! there’s a second person you’ve been saving all along #just by being kind and showing a scared hurt child that things can be okay #and like. frisk doesn’t really have a character arc as the protagonist because the game explicitly acknowledges #that YOU’RE the one controlling them and acting. it’s your choices. not theirs #YOU’RE the one who is supposed to learn and grow and change over the course of undertale #learn to be kinder and more hopeful. which in my opinion is one reason why you’re supposed to give Chara your name #it’s a story about the both of you and whether or not you can progress from your initial belief #that this is a world that works a certain way where humans and monsters kill each other #and learn to believe instead that. things can be better than that. the world can be better than that. you can be better than that
i put this in the tags and then i thought no, actually, I want this part of the rant to be directly inflicted on everyone too
These three versions of the same image taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity illustrate different choices that scientists can make in presenting the colors recorded by the camera. The left image is the raw, unprocessed color, as it is received directly from Mars (and as available on the MSL Raw Images Web site: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/). The center rendering was produced after calibration of the image to show an estimate of "natural" color, or approximately what the colors would look like if we were to view the scene ourselves on Mars. The right image shows the result of then applying a processing method called white-balancing, which shows an estimate of the colors of the terrain as if illuminated under Earth-like, rather than Martian, lighting.

Here's the swatch they have on the rover for calibration
Has anyone studied whether plants are affected by light pollution?
Yes, actually, and they 100% can be! This 2026 study, for example, focuses on Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) affecting White Dogwood and Common Beech trees. The authors found that ALAN significantly affects the trees’ light dependent phase of photosynthesis. The trees responded differently physicall, but both were negative. They also demonstrated that the effects are “dose” specific, or dependent on how much light exposure has occurred.
This study from 2025 also indicates that, in urban areas, light pollution is becoming a greater disruptor for growing seasonality than temperature is; which is HUGE considering how prevalent the urban heat island effect is. They found that these effects greatly lengthened the growing season and delaying the projected end dates. This is bad because it also disrupts the life cycles of everything reliant on the plant’s life cycles, such as parasites, feeding insects/animals etc. It can also even lower the amount of available water due to the plants requiring more water in prolonged growth seasons. These systems are dynamic and not in a vacuum.
In conclusion, light pollution and artificial light is a major environmental stressor that gets overlooked. Thank you for making this post to ask a very important question :)
The real reason Stratt didn't want to join the karaoke party on the vat is because she knew Leclerc would be singing sad song after sad song but changing the words to match the despair he felt over nuking Antarctica
Stratt: Oh no.
Stratt: I don’t have the time or emotional capacity to be sad or stressed about this.
Stratt: GRACE!
Grace: On it!
Grace: *starts sobbing and going into a full panic attack*
So. One could say.
She stopped her crying. It’s a sign of the times.
Am reading PHM after seeing and loving the film and I'm realizing that it is an academic's fantasy of getting kidnapped into your dream job with, oh no, all the resources and funding and exciting important space adventures! It's like fifty shades for asexual researchers

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system
(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy
One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable
To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit
"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."
I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.
everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined
