IMAX UPLOADED THE MUMMY TRAILER WITH HALF THE AUDIO CHANNELS MISSING AND CREATED 40 SECONDS OF UNDILUTED COMEDIC PERFECTION
Shit like this is why I could not stop laughing in film editing school. I would have to leave class because I was in tears whenever I had to do sound.
sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it
blue sunset on Mars is a real phenomenon caused by the way Martian dust scatters sunlight.
Unlike Earth, where sunsets are red and orange due to the scattering of shorter blue wavelengths by our atmosphere, Mars has an extremely fine dust that scatters blue light more efficiently near the Sun.
So during sunset on Mars, the sky turns reddish-brown while the area around the Sun glows a soft blue. It’s the opposite of what we experience on Earth.
NASA’s rovers have captured this eerie sight
Look what you did, they have anxiety!

got a good thing going where these bandits give me a half share of whatever loot they pull from adventurers i send their way & the best part is i don't even need to lie or anything since every hero is born with the unshakeable belief in their ability to win a fight against ten guys at once. just gotta say "we've got bandit trouble in the west, let me mark it on your map" and a week later i get $15 from Wulfric the Hound on cashapp
“A Cloisonné Vase Mark of the Hayashi Kodenji Workshop, Meiji Period (late 19th century) Worked in various thicknesses of silver wire and coloured cloisonné enamels on a dark blue ground with a maple tree surrounded by a profusion of flowers including chrysanthemums, irises, wild pinks and grasses, the foot with floral lappets, the neck with a band of geometric pattern, silver rims.”
Important question
Okay but I think these two are onto something
Test subject
(no bird was harmed)
Visiting my home country and i just saw some birds colloquially called churrete, which also means shart. May i request some animals with unfortunate names?
Well, I know I posted one of these recently, but here goes...
Robust Assfish (Bassozetus robustus), family Ophidiidae, order Ophidiiformes, found in the deep ocean in tropical and temperate parts of the world

False Toad or Suck Toad (Pseudobufo subasper), family Bufonidae, found in peninsular Malaysia and Indonesia.
Aquatic.
Despite the name, this is a true toad, in the true toad family.
“Suck Toad” is only cited in a few places, and may be misunderstanding of native name for these toads… they may not actually be called that.

Slippery Dick (Halichoeres bivittatus), family Labridae, order Labriformes, found in the tropical western Atlantic
Feel free to grab ahold, and even... to taste.
Like many wrasses, this fish starts life as a female, and becomes male later in life.

American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), family Scolopacidae, order Charadriiformes, found in and near woodlands in the Eastern and central US and southern Canada
Also called the Timberdoodle or Bogsucker, Labrador Twister, Budbat...

Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis), family Cryptobranchidae, found in freshwater streams in the eastern US
The smallest of the “Giant Salamanders” in the family Cryptobranchidae, this aquatic salamander is nonetheless quite large, growing to a length of up to 29 inches.
Also called "Snot Otter"

Ok something I've been really interested in lately is the cutting edge of rattlesnake and other venomous snake research. Project RattleCam and its all-day monitoring of rattlesnake rookeries across the nation have been eye-opening to our understanding of rattlesnake social dynamics.
They are social! They creche their babies! They even protect them from predators! All of this would have been laughable a couple of decades ago when the general attitude towards snakes was that they are fully uncaring and solitary.
There's also really cool research being done about the pharmaceutical possibilities of components of snake venom. Things like "permanent but reversible nerve blockers to reduce reliance on opioids for chronic pain relief" big. And this has direct impacts on snake conservation too!
Every snake species has a unique venom makeup. Within a species, different populations have different venom makeups. Within a population, individual snakes have different venom makeups. And even during a snake's life, the components and amounts of them change with time. In order to preserve the potential for these new medicines, it is necessary to preserve as many populations of venomous snakes as possible.
It sucks that we need a financial incentive to push for biodiversity and genetic diversity, but it's awesome that we've found one!
the poster that this incredible illustration is based on is extremely striking. but while searching for it, I also found earlier posters for conveying this message along with a corresponding one for summer, and I fucking love them. absolutely lovely graphic design work. (both are from 1924, artist is Austin Cooper)
the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)
oh nice final chapter you're editing thee. be a shame if the lette stopped woking popely, wouldn't it? vey fustating
i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK
grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?
Consider also the opposite:
Grace: Hey, uh, Rocky…
Rocky: You have a question, Grace my best friend Grace?
Grace: yeah. um. Why does everyone else wear clothes and you. Don’t.
Rocky: oh. That’s because they’re mostly from 🎵🎵🎵 and people are weird about clothes there.
Grace: what
Rocky: in 🎵🎵🎵 they think it’s wrong to have your carapace uncovered in public. Which is stupid. It’s a CARAPACE who cares if your carapace is out. We all have one. My country understands this. I can’t help it if the space program was primarily organized by the 🎵🎵🎵 government because they’re the ones with power and resources so everyone who works at the space elevator thinks they need to wear clothes even when they don’t actually have to.
Grace: Rocky are you a nudist
Rocky: don’t know word. I’m 🎶🎵🎶 and also the Savior of Erid so the 🎵🎵🎵 guys can’t tell me I have to wear a shirt anymore. SUCK IT
(Meanwhile a significant chunk of Erid is going NOOOO THE GUY FROM THE NUDIST COUNTRY WAS THE ONE TO MAKE FIRST CONTACT??? While Rocky is like #FreeTheNipple and no one’s allowed to argue because he’s Savior of Erid)
