infinity war rewrite. opening scene. instead of monologuing about nonsense for five minutes (boring) and killing heimdall (unnecessary) thanos just grabs loki by the ankles and shakes him upside down until the tesseract falls out his pocket, but then thanos keeps shaking him and more and more entirely identical tesseracts just keep falling out of loki’s pockets and making a pile on the ground and this goes on until the point where it becomes comical
Loki survives by being disguised as one of the tesseract and Thanos has just been shaking his duplicate
Later after Thanos has put the space stone in the infinity gauntlet when he tries to snap it turns into Loki and he’s like “Blargh,” and stabs him
Basilosaurus, which means “King Lizard,” was actually a whale that lived 30-45 million years ago. Scientists have also just published a paper indicating that it was likely apex predator.
The RCMP are setting up exclusion zones and closed roads to the public and media as officers get set to dismantle two camps on unceded Wet’suwet’en territory.
“During the police enforcement operation, temporary exclusion zones and road closures will be established for police and public safety reasons,” said the news release sent out Monday morning that confirmed the RCMP will enforce a court order requested by a pipeline company trying to build a pipeline through Wet’suwet’en territory.
“Those areas will be clearly marked and media/public are welcome to stand at the perimeter, but no one will be allowed to enter the exclusion zones. These zones will only be maintained as long as necessary.”
The raids have been highly anticipated after a B.C. judge granted an interim injunction in December against two check points leading to the construction site for the LNG Coastal GasLink pipeline.
you know, that whole thing when a colonist militaristic police force storms a indigenous encampment, removes it’s people who live there, all for corporate interest, so we can pump more oil out, and accelerate the death of the planet.
Then once the Cops storm the place, they declare an “exclusion zone” deploy a wifi and cell blockage, AND exclude media. All so no news of it gets out.
You all need to be fucking outraged. We live in a police state, and the moment your life gets in the way of making money, you cease to matter.
Hey Americans, you know how we Canadians all shared information about Standing Rock as it was happening?
We’re having a very similar situation in Canada right now.
Now would be a good time to reciprocate.
This is happening RIGHT NOW.
Nobody on this site besides me and a few other bloggers are talking about this.
Like there are only 2 or 3 blogs in total in the #Wet’suwet’en or #Unist’ot’en or Unist’ot’en Camp hashtags from the past week.
this is happening January 7, 2019

On December 16, 2018, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary House Chiefs reaffirmed, once again, their stance on oil and gas export pipelines in Wet’suwet’en Yintah (traditional lands). This decision was validated in the feast hall where Wet’suwet’en decisions are enacted into law. While some Wet’suwet’en Indian Act Bands and corporations have signed on to the Coastal Gas Link Agreement, the Wet’suwet’en hereditary leadership–who have jurisdiction over 22,000 square kilometers of traditional territories–have not given their free, prior, and informed consent to any oil or gas company to build pipelines in their lands and waters. The Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs have not made any agreement with the Canadian or British Columbian governments to surrender or permit access to Wet’suwet’en lands for any pipeline corridors or construction activities.
To enforce this decision, the house chiefs of all five Wet’suwet’en clans agreed by consensus to assert control of the Gitdumden Clan territory that borders to the west of Unistot’en lands. As such, a checkpoint is erected at the 44 km mark on the Morice Lake Forest Service Road and will follow a free, prior, and informed consent protocol whereby anyone seeking access to Gitdumden territory will be required to present themselves, respectfully, to spokespeople at the site. The checkpoint will remain in effect until further notice.
We are seeking financial support to get supplies for the checkpoint and it’s supporters as well as any likely legal fees that will be incurred by the members.
** In order to ensure a smooth transition I have added Cody Merriman as a recipient to the funds. He is the partner of the Cas Yex spokesperson Molly Wickham and will be collecting funds for supplies as needed. ** GoFundMe has requested I publicly post this information for transparency to all of our supporters in order to release funds. Misiyh.
learning that most trees do not derive from a single lineage but actually only look and function superficially similarly due to convergent evolution is one of the most fucked up things i’ve ever learned and i will never be the same person as i was before i learned that
Oak trees are quite a bit more closely related to roses than they are to pine trees.
just want a Transformers show where the humans they become friends with are millennials and gen z kids with those generations senses of humor and it makes even the Decepticons worried for them

I love Julie Andrews and when it came time to cast my version of the Kraken in this film I felt like I really wanted this creature to be female. Because, of course, the most powerful creature on this planet would be female. For some reason I really wanted her to be British. So who better for this role than Dame Julie Andrews? And she is so wonderful and great in it!

Fun fact: anytime you hear a story that boils down to “and then some ABSOLUTE FOOL sued this totally innocent megacorporation for assloads of money AND WON! Can you believe it? Ridiculous. Some people, right?” 99 times out of 100, the corporation super fucked up, the plaintiff 100% deserved that money,.and you’ve just been fed corporate propaganda.
“Hot Coffee Lady” had to get skin grafts and was at least the 11th customer to be hospitalized. The coffee served to her was in violation of a court order requiring McDonald’s to sell their coffee at a safe temperature.
The “warning: contents hot” label is a passive-aggressive move by McDonalds because they implemented it at the same time that they finally complied with legal requirements to serve safe beverages.
Every time you see “warning contents hot” and roll your eyes because of course it’s hot, you’re assuming that you and McDonald’s agree on the definition of “hot.”
What’s more, you assume you’ve always agreed, which is the baseline for assuming that the lady who sued had unrealistic expectations.
Yeah. I don’t remember the corporate policy for McDonalds coffee temperature at the time, but i do remember that it was *near boiling.*
Your Starbucks? Not near boiling. Not likely to make you need massive reconstructive surgery on your hoo hah if you spill it in your lap.
I make my coffee with boiling water too, so who exactly am I supposed to sue when I spill it on myself at home?
The coffee served to her was 190F. A temperature which can produce third degree burns in less than 3 seconds.
Documents obtained from McDonald’s showed that from 1982 to 1992 the company had received more than 700 reports of people burned by McDonald’s coffee to varying degrees of severity, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000.
They knew that this practice was dangerous. They had hurt HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE already. Then, this woman had to go to the hospital for SKIN GRAFTS on her fucking GENITALS and all she wanted was for McDonalds to pay her god damn hospital bills.
why do you americans expect everyone to know how much 190F is?
And this doesn’t answer my question at all.
If you do something dangerous and you get hurt, then you have responsibility for that.
If a super mega-corporation has hurt hundreds of people through repeated negligence and seriously injures you, then THEY have responsibility for that.
“Why is it MURDER if someone stabs me but not murder if I stab myself?”
u ever been so riled up u forgot how to google
working at starbucks i once spilled black coffee on my hand trying to put a lid on it. i screamed ‘fuck’ turned and put my hand under cold water right away. like mid customer. that shit was still so hot that my vision went black all of a sudden, from the shock of it all (i guess that’s what happened anyway, i got sent in the back with oj and chocolate and kindly asked not to yell fuck in the store again, i never went to doctor or anything), even if it didn’t leave a mark after an hour or so. i can’t imagine how hot that coffee was for that poor woman.
I got a Second degree burn once as a teenager working in a movie theater. We were having a rush, and the popcorn was about to burn, and in my haste to save the popcorn, I slammed my forearm against the side of the popper kettle- filled with boiling oil. None got on me, and it was just for a moment, but it was, ya know, very hot.
I must have had some adrenaline going because didn’t realize how badly I had hurt myself until a minute or so later when all of a sudden I went very woozy. I just thought I had banged my arm right up until my body started going into shock. Once the people around me realized what had happened , I was spirited off the the managers office. Water, gaze, ice, everything. (I think they were scared I would sue) I couldnt drive home, I couldnt think straight. My mom had to come get me.
It took weeks and weeks to heal. Easily the worst injury I’ve ever had so far in my life. I still have a scar on my arm from that.
Her burns were worse. So so much worse, and I can’t imagine it.
When other countries laugh at how often Americans sue businesses, what they don’t understand is that the laws and regulations protecting us from careless, evil and dangerous business practices are MUCH WEAKER than theirs, and even in cases where they’re basically the same, our corporations are just plain greedier and more heartless. Americans end up having to sue corporations more often because American corporations leave people with permanent injuries, sickness or death more often.
A british restaurant is gonna be like “oh my gosh, we’re so sorry our milk went a little sour, we’re so ashamed.” An American restaurant is gonna be like “oh you’re shitting blood? What do you expect when you eat here, dumbass. Feel free to beg us for 1/1000th our CEO’s holiday bonus if you can even afford a lawyer lol”
This is Kjell Lindgren. He’s a NASA astronaut who just got back from 5 months on the International Space Station. There are two reasons why this picture is hilarious:
His wife is flawless and makes bad space puns to make him do household chores.
I have that shirt. Thousands of people have that shirt. That shirt is available at Target. Which means actual astronaut Kjell Lindgren, with his wardrobe already full of NASA-issued and logo-emblazoned clothes, was at Target, saw a NASA shirt, and was like, “Yes, I am buying this because this is what I want to spend my actual astronaut salary on.”
tl;dr NASA employs a bunch of fucking nerds
It gets better.
Courtesy of Wikipedia, here’s the poster NASA released for his mission to the ISS:
NASA confirmed for a bunch of fucking nerds
*wipes single tear*
They’re just too beautiful.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
NASA personnel are, like, the top nerds. The alpha nerds. The absolute nerdiest nerds. The nerds other nerds look to for nerdspiration.
