Sometimes I write things. You can read them.

Sam: This is boring

Tucker: I know. When they said we were getting a field trip in Gotham, I thought it would be a lot more exciting. Especially when they listed Wayne Enterprises as one of the tours.

Danny: Axion Labs had a better tour. All we've seen are hallways and closed doors

Sam: Don't forget the Wayne water fountain that was part of the original town hall of Gotham, before it burned to the ground and the fountain was bought out by the Waynes.

Danny: It was a fascinating twelve-minute wait for the small gush of water.

Tucker: Whats the tour guy saying now?

Danny: Don't know. Don't care.

Sam: Ugh, we should play a game. Make the time move faster.

Tucker: Sure, want to play Would You Rather?

Danny: We played that on the bus. How about Have You Ever?

Sam: We don't have anything to drink. Let's do Hot Seat.

Danny: Sure.

Tucker: Go head

Sam: Right, Danny, you're first. If you could sleep with any of the heroes in Gotham who would-

Danny: Red Hood.

Tucker: Good taste. Bouncing off of what Sam said, if you could sleep with any of the Waynes who-

Danny: Jason Todd.

Sam: You seem overly eager to answer these questions.

Danny: Is that a problem?

Jason: No I find it interesting

Danny letting out the highest pitch scream a man of 25 has ever made: !!!!!!

Jason: impressive set of pipes.

Sam whispering to Tucker: Is it just me, or does Danny have a shot?

Tucker whispering back: I think he does. They were about Gotham. Anything can happen here.

i think we've done a great job expanding the view of what a child's favorite animal can be. kids these days can say they love axolotls or pangolins or coelecanths and their decision is respected. maybe their parents can even find them a stuffed animal of it if they know where to look. and i think that's beautiful

Beyond his art, Neal Adams is rightfully remembered as an eternal champion of creators’ rights and for the part he & his work played in the Comics Code revision of ‘71 but his contribution to John Stewart’s creation is – I think –  a rather underrated aspect of his career, especially as it’s such a great reminder of the kind of person he was. Taken from an interview conducted and transcribed by Allen W. Wright over at the Green Arrow: Bold Archer fansite, here’s Neal discussing John’s beginnings (x).

the parker/eliot branch of the ot3 is the absolute funniest. parker&hardison have their own beautiful canonical romance. hardison&eliot flirt as much as they bicker & have some deliciously tense moments of Manly Emotional Intimacy and Bone-Deep Respect and Care for the other. but parker&eliot? spend most of the time either working in terrifying tandem or behaving like grumpy uncle/little brother until that occasional moment where eliot will see a younger version of himself in parker who hasn’t quite made all of the terrible he did and can be Saved but clearly possesses a familiar, viscous capability for darkness that cuts her from the same cloth as him and he will do everything in his power to stop it even if it tears him limb from literal limb. and then she hits him with a car.

Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics. 

“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”. 

If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%. 

if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%. 

thats how that works. 

[hopeful-weirdo]

Wow I don’t understand math at all

[freinhardt56]

‘if you have a baby after 35, the chance of deformities goes up by 100%’ is a line I hear alot.

It goes up from .5% to 1%

[fandomlockedfan]

I think my brain just stopped working

[authorgirl1111]

100% is just another way of saying twice more likely. So 100% more basically means multiply the number you do have by 2.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

Imagine how many woman are scared to have kids because of that statistic

[what-even-is-thiss]

This is why I took stats instead of calc. Because I don’t build engineer bridges in my everyday life but I sure do read studies that affect how I might live my life if I misinterpret them.

[bogleech]

I’m terrible at numbers and math but I knew this and I really take it for granted. The average person definitely assumes, quite understandably, that “600% INCREASE!!!” must always mean a whole lot even if it literally only means that one of something is now six of something. Politicians probably take a shitload of advantage of this confusion.

[hexmaniacmareen]

just remember that increased BY and increased TO are very different things.

[bogleech]

Oh god I didn’t even think about that whole other layer of confusion. Yeah if you’ve got 100 people and one of them is sick, that’s 1% of them who are sick, so if it “increased BY 100%” then that means now two people are sick. If it’s “increased TO 100%” then all 100 people are sick.

[silly-jellyghoty]

Reblogging again for that last addition.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

[annabelle--cane]

most novels at their core thematically are usually about some shit like the protagonist's bone-deep feelings of loneliness and isolation and their cravings for but inability to connect with other people. this is largely because novelists are sick freaks who are driven by their demons to spend hundreds of hours sitting alone in quiet rooms to write tens and thousands of words of text. they may not intend to write stories about loneliness, but by week six of the typing timeloop they are writing stories about loneliness whether they like it or not. writing a novel is not a naturally occurring healthy behavior, humans only do this when they are very distressed.
