RIP Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine.

End of an era for informative articles - keeping us abreast of the issues!

she ain’t wrong 🤔

Im so????

What asshole drew this?? As if we don’t have the very recent, devastating shipwrecks of the Costa Concordia (2012) in which video from firefighters helped prove the captain abandoned his ship in a disaster that resulted in 32 fatalities

or the sinking of the Sewol ferry in Korea (2014), in which over 300 people, mostly middle school students, were drowned, but not before many sent footage of the ferry’s announcements telling people to stay seated and not evacuate, proving the negligence of the ferry’s crew. Many of them were able to get final goodbye messages to their friends and family before they drowned. 

Ability to send final messages aside, documentary archival video footage is PRICELESS in situations like this. After any kind of public event, you bet your ass police are asking for any and all cell phone footage from the area. 

anyway, in conclusion, that artist can fuck off

And WTF, there were people literally sitting in the lifeboats on the Titanic sketching it. That’s where that iconic fucking image of it COMES FROM, you WOMBATS.

[freifraufischer]

And those pictures helped prove that the Titanic broke up on the surface.

There’s nothing wrong with recognizing that you’re in the middle of a historical moment and wanting to record that.

[darthmelyanna]

And this was, like, a valued skill at the time? Being able to record what things looked like was prized. Is the impulse to record events maligned now because it can be done by anyone with a smartphone now, and not just people with training and resources?

A geography and history refresher, in the wake of Irma and Maria

I am really appalled by comments that I've seen about us coming to the aid of Puerto Rico, which has been brutally ravaged back-to-back by hurricanes Irma and Maria - comments about how they don't deserve our "foreign" aid, they send too many "illegals" and "refugees" here... So, I thought it would be worthwhile to share the following: ⭕ Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory! Therefore, they are not a "foreign" land. ⭕ Puerto Rico is not a U.S. territory by our virtue and goodwill - we took control of Puerto Rico in a war with Spain. ⭕ All Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. Not a single person born on Puerto Rican soil, is "illegal." ⭕ Puerto Ricans were made U.S. citizens by the U.S. Congress - despite Puerto Rican protests - in the 1910s, which meant that Puerto Rican men were subsequently drafted into World War I. ⭕ Puerto Rico has **ZERO** voting representation in Congress - therefore, they cannot vote on things like the budget (which includes hurricane relief), whether or not to go to war, etc. ⭕ Puerto Ricans are not Mexican. ⭕ Puerto Rico is an island - and therefore, they don't share ANY border with the contiguous United States. This makes "Build That Wall" chants sound even more stupid and vile. Let's not spite our fellow countrymen and women, just because their native tongue isn't English. 🇵🇷

Had China not banned Winnie the Pooh, I never would've noticed that president Xi Jinping DOES bear a resemblance to him! 🤔

If only children in Michigan drinking lead-contaminated water enraged us, like losing an hour for Daylight Saving does... 🤔🤔🤔 #Priorities

NASA announces discovery of 7 Earth-sized planets

Thank goodness NASA has discovered a whole solar system's worth of Earth-like planets... Now, I can plan on relocating when my fellow humans inexplicably destroy the ecosystems that make my current - and overpopulated - Earth inhabitable! 😔

Disclaimer: I had no dog in the fight for this year's #Superbowl 🏈 When I heard that members of the "alt right" (i.e. neo-Nazis) were mostly rooting for the New England Patriots because Atlanta is a thriving hub for the black and LGBT communities, I figured it was just sports trash talk. Welp, I skimmed through their Twitter profiles - and it looks like this actually was legit 😳

[saintsrearview-blog]

Oh, dear... 😕

Trump Acts To Sabotage Obamacare Enrollment, Days Before Deadline

He ordered the government to halt ads and emails, which could mean fewer signups and higher premiums.

He may stop the ads, but nothing beats old fashioned word of mouth. Make sure everyone you know (and those you don’t know) they can still sign up for obamacare/ACA until January 31st! 

the more people sign up, the less eager republicans will repeal it, especially those in swing states and districts, and we only need three GOP senators to vote no on repeal. 

[tetrahedrals]

Hey folks, PLEASE reblog info about this if you can today. They have cancelled all ads and emails alerting people to the fact that the deadline is at the end of this month in an attempt to sabotage enrollment. Jan 31st is the last chance people will have to get on this plan.

 Doesn’t have to be this post, just please spread the word however you can!

Our president's deep admiration of Russian oligarchs is absolutely among the reasons I marched in the #WomensMarch 😔 "Russia's parliament voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence in cases where it does not cause 'substantial bodily harm' and does not occur more than once a year."

[saintsrearview-blog]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if this were a legit Sean Spicer press conference... 😔

In honor of Mary Tyler Moore's passing, here is a photo of her final public reunion with actresses from her namesake show. Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Mary, Betty White, Georgia Engel "Hot in Cleveland" gathering, 2013.

That typical moment when you're walking to the store to buy mustard, and you're warmly greeted by a gleefully prancing, passerby reindeer with YUUUGE udders... 😳 #LifeInDeepEllum
