The funniest thing about the Ice Man Job is Eliot and Parker having maximum synergy as they judge Hardison together throughout the entire con with the most exasperated looks on their faces the whole time. Especially during the scene where he calls Eliot a mute and then takes credit for Parker's work, and they exchange this look:

You can tell they were telepathically roasting him over an open flame together. He was really in the dog house that episode lmao.

We matter greatly and not at all. To reach some pinnacle of human achievement only to discover that your achievements are next to nothing and that to understand this is the greatest achievement of any life, which itself is nothing, and also much more than everything. Some metal separates us from the void; death is so close. Life is everywhere, everywhere.

get yourself a main character whos two primary emotions are "little cunt" and "catatonic with grief"

[cloudheaded]

can we get a round of applause or maybe a medal for kirishima eijirou for just... deciding he was gonna be bakugou's friend. IN SEASON ONE. like, lord murder explodokill hadn't had any character growth yet, and kirishima still looked at this snarling hate-filled twink and went "i wanna hang out with THAT guy." investing at 0 redeeming qualities

The UK just got its first proper use of the emergency alert system.

Your phone screams at you and displays an urgent message. There is a button to dismiss it.

What this means:

"Here is a message the UK government has decided it is of vital importance the majority of the public are aware of immediately. You can only read it on the screen of a device which is actively making as distressing a noise as we can force out of it. The only way to stop the screaming to make it easier to parse what is on the screen is to dismiss the message."

A+ design.

If you missed what it was because you pressed the STOP FUCKING YELLING AT ME button before you were able to parse what the thing it was screaming about was, don't start fires, the country's a fucking tinderbox. Your barbecue will wait.

Truly underrated Brigadier moment is in The Spectre of Lanyon Moor when Six runs into him and the Brigadier recognises him immediately. And when Six is like “how did you know it was me?” the Brig replies “who the fuck else dresses like that”

It just bums me out how much of SW fandom clearly doesn’t appreciate the levels of magnificent bastardy that Palpatine achieved as a villain when they bitch about so much being the Jedi Order’s fault. As if the Jedi should have just looked harder under some couch cushions and then they would have found the solid evidence they could use to go after him and the Senate.

Palpatine was too smart for that! No Sith lord had ever aimed so high and achieved so much, and he only did it by playing a long game that started before Anakin was even born. People have to understand that when Dooku tells Obi-Wan that a Sith controls the Senate, that’s hard for him to believe because it is absolutely ridiculous and hard to believe! The Jedi don’t understand why the dark side clouds their awareness because the Sith have become masterful at hiding their presence, which was not the case throughout known history. It would truly be like hearing that Biden’s administration actually are all Satanists who traffic and eat children. Palpatine’s extremely powerful and cunning and unlike anything they’re used to dealing with, otherwise they might seriously consider that Sidious could have accomplished this without the Jedi having any idea. And where do you even begin investigating such a thing when it’s been covered up so well?

The Jedi were always gonna be outmatched against someone like Sidious because a Sith’s whole thing is amassing wealth, influence, and power, and Sidious was probably the best there ever was at it. The Jedi are the opposite, they’re not meant to have those things, and Sidious ended up with too much control of the government for them to have any real power to act. (Probably even if they had complete knowledge of everything, which they never did.) It makes sense that just a couple Sith can bring “imbalance” to the Force when you consider that the use of the dark side is inherently an imbalance of power and a destructive influence in the world this way.

You don’t have to scapegoat anyone else. Palpatine needed his apprentice and other pawns to move around but he really did almost all of it himself. He worked so hard and deserves the hate for his efforts, he really was that bad. :(

if i can be mean for a second here. if you can't pretend to be at least mildly interested in someone else's life for like, three minutes of small talk? that is a problem you should be aware of and working on. nobody needs you to be the world's best actor or suddenly be besties with every stranger you chit chat with but a brief "oh i dont know much about fishing, do you go a lot?" goes a lot way towards not being needlessly unpleasant to other people

[tarragonthedragon]

sometimes i hold up one of my boobs in my hand to feel how heavy they are and i'm like ohhhh that's why i have back pain all the time and then the next time i have back pain i'm confused and annoyed because i haven't done anything to cause it. and so the cycle cycles on

Submitter comment: I'd like to submit this '[s]tudy of defensive behavior of a venomous snake as a new approach to understand snakebite' not for it's topic (worth studying!) but for it's insane methodology, which... well, I'll just let the researcher speak for himself:

[Q: Why did you decide to do this experiment?

A: Snake behavior has been generally neglected as a field of research, especially in Brazil. And most studies don’t examine what factors make them want to bite. If you study malaria, you can research the parasite that causes the disease—but if you don’t study the mosquito that carries it, you will never solve the problem. Up until now, the popular wisdom was that the jararaca would only attack if you touched it or stepped on it. But that was not what we found.

Q: Why did you need to be the victim?

A: The best way to do this research is to put snakes and a human together. In this case, the human was me. We put the snakes inside a ring on the floor of our lab until they got used to it, then I stepped in wearing special protective boots. I stepped close to the snake and also lightly on top of it. I didn’t put my whole weight on my foot, so I did not hurt the snakes. I tested 116 animals and stepped 30 times on every animal, totaling 40,480 steps.]

From the recent (aptly named) interview: Researcher steps on deadly vipers 40,000 times to better predict snakebites

Musicals are time loops. Every night, the same thing happens except for a few minor differences. It always ends the same. If you want the characters to do something different or to make better choices, too bad. The actors are bound by the script and the score. The only way for the time loop to end is for the show to close. But you (the audience) don't want the show to close, nor do the actors who would like to be employed. It's a lose/lose situation. For the actors, audience, technicians, and for the characters, who are forever stuck in the same stretch of time.

Inverted ballpoint pen drawing!! The first picture is what I drew and the second picture is the inverted final piece

[darkmasterofdragons]

I have an important update to this post, for any who enjoyed this drawing, I finally got the opportunity to scan it and I just had to share the scanned versions of it here because it captured the colours astoundingly better than my original photos taken with my phone camera 😅

Certainly still one of my proudest creations to date! :3
