this is elite level trolling by spain (and also pretty cool). they invite an iranian chef to cook persian food for the whole team in their world cup camp in the usa.

no wonder dani olmo played so well. we need to feed him more persian food at barça 😂

that is supposed to say smile.

something beautiful about men with their face digging into the fake cultivated grass of a multi million arena beneath the eyes of millions and millions of people. full despair fully performed. that said i think some of these guys need to be getting oscars for best secondary dramatic performance with their grimaces.

Lady Jessica is so fucking funny man

Ultimate basic white girl name, like the lass who sat next to you in school and had pigtails and drew little hearts over her “i”s. The Duke Leto of the Atreides, House Major of the Galactic Padishah Empire… and his girlfriend, Jessica. Hilarious.

She falls in love with the biggest wife guy in the universe, and he won’t marry her. Hilarious.

Duke Leto loves her and trusts her fully, despite knowing that she’s a witch from the long line of witches who do rapey mind control stuff for eugenecist reasons. He just reckons she’d never do that to him. And he’s RIGHT – she’s been painstakingly trained in mind control and she never uses it on him and they just have consensual sex like normal people, thanks very much. Hilarious.

She’s been raised, conditioned, and trained so she can accomplish one (1) task: have a baby girl with Leto. When it comes down to it, she reckons he’d be disappointed at the gender reveal so decides to have a boy instead, upending 10,000 years of meticulous planning and concerted effort. THEN, she ends up having a girl with him afterwards anyway. Hilarious.

She births a messiah to make her bf happy and piss off her bosses, and then births an abomination completely unintentionally. Hilarious.

Despite her Bene Gesserit training and bodily awareness and general deep understanding of things, she somehow doesn’t realise that going through the Spice Agony while pregnant will have an effect on her foetus??? Corazon mio, smoking a cigarette has an effect on your foetus. Not eating enough spinach has an effect on your foetus. Taking a massive overdose of a lethal drug was probably going to have some foreseeable side effects. Hilarious.

When Leto II and Ghanima are preborn and 9-year-old Leto II tells her that he and Ghani can remember her and their granda getting it on in extreme visceral detail and her first reaction is to that mentioning it was a little gauche of him, actually. Hilarious.

In conclusion Lady Jessica funniest character in Dune actually, no notes

[mizipop]

no cuz jessica became the ultimate girl name bc of the character… the name spiked in popularity after dune was released… i assume herbert just wanted a weird name for his character and it ended up becoming mainstream

[whosalana]

omg i never knew this... jessica the icon that you are

There's this sort of anthropomorphizing that inherently happens in language that really gets me sometimes. I'm still not over the terminology of "gravity assist," the technique where we launch satellites into the orbit of other planets so that we can build momentum via the astounding and literally astronomical strength of their gravitational forces, to "slingshot" them into the direction we need with a speed that we could never, ever, ever create ourselves. I mean, some of these slingshots easily get probes hurtling through space at tens of thousands of miles per hour. Wikipedia has a handy diagram of the Voyager 1 satellite doing such a thing.

"Gravity assist." "Slingshot." Of course, on a very basic and objective level, yes, we are taking advantage of forces generated by outside objects to specifically help in our goals. We're getting help from objects in the same way a river can power a mill. And of course we call it a "slingshot," because the motion is very similar (mentally at least; I can't be sure about the exact physics).

Plus, especially compared to the other sciences, the terminology for astrophysics is like, really straightforward. "Black hole?" Damn yeah it sure is. "Big bang?" It sure was. "Galactic cluster?" Buddy you're never gonna guess what this is. I think it's an effect of the fact that language is generally developed for life on earth and all the strange variances that happen on its surface, that applying it to something as alien and vast as space, general terms tend to suffice very well in a lot more places than, like... idk, botany.

But, like. "Gravity assist." I still can't get the notion out of my head that such language implies us receiving active help from our celestial neighbors. They come to our aid. We are working together. We are assisted. Jupiter and the other planets saw our little messengers coming from its pale blue molecular cousin, and we set up the physics just right, so that they could help us send them out to far stranger places than this, to tell us all about what they find out there.

We are assisted.

And there is no better way to illustrate my feelings on the matter than to just show you guys one of my favorite paintings, this 1973 NASA art by Rick Guidice to show the Pioneer probe doing this exact thing:

"... You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. ..."

Gravity assist.

[ambrosial-sunshine]

For the painting especially there’s a beauty in depicting some of our most advanced technology as synonymous with the most ancient. Very few people throughout history have had the privilege of seeing the face of Jupiter but many would recognize the sling thrower immediately.

The rarest porpoises on Earth are hanging on

The latest report shows that the estimated number of endangered vaquita porpoises has modestly increased

While the vaquita is still at very high risk of being lost forever, the fact that they are still around at all is something of a miracle. That their population has actually increased is even more miraculous.

Back in 2017, conservationists made the last-ditch decision to try moving the few remaining vaquitas into a protected sea pen until their habitat could be made safer and their population numbers more stable. Of the two initially captured vaquitas, one had to be released due to stress and the other died before it could be released.

Taking nearly-extinct species into human care is the Hail Mary of conservation, reserved for species where there are less than 50 remaining like the black footed ferret and California condor. When I heard that the vaquita rescue efforts were being called off due to failure, I was sure that was the end.

Even as a fairly hopeful, "life finds a way" person, if someone had told me there would still be vaquitas surviving and having babies in 2025 I would not have believed them.

Vaquitas are the smallest living cetacean species. Their name means "little cow" in Spanish, though they've also been nicknamed "sea pandas". There are only 7-10 adults left, they are still in terrible danger, but the fact that they exist at all 8 years after the "last chance" conservation effort was called off is something to celebrate.

With Lisa’s type being rough dudes who like classic rock and leather jackets, I’ve read a theory that Ben was actually John’s son and I’m not going to lie, I lowkey like it

[destielrotsmybrain]

Just the idea that once again Dean was forced into raising John’s son is tasty

[destielrotsmybrain]

#i just found little johnlisa au i made a couple months ago based on this post#idk if i’ll ever post it but i think it was pretty good lol#but yeah i love this concept it’s so deliciously messy via @king-lena

👀 ahem. I'm just going to put this over here because I'm pretty sure there are people around who would love to read that and I need to make sure they see your tags

[angelsdean]

thinking abt this post and just, Lisa @ Dean being like, “you’re not ben’s dad but you sure do remind me of him. He even had a leather jacket just like this!” And it’s John. She’s talking about John. But she never got his real name and he wasn’t driving the impala anymore at that point so there’s very little other identifying information. Until one day Dean pulls his stack of photos out when he’s feeling down and Lisa hooks her chin over his shoulder to see what he’s looking at and goes “oh my god that’s him!” pointing at a photo of John with Mary. And Dean is like “huh???” And Lisa is beaming that big beautiful smile of hers totally clueless to the rug she is pulling out from under Dean like, “that’s the guy! Ben’s dad! How do you know him?” And Dean’s just like, what the fuck. Blue-screen. Stomach rolling. Oh god no.
