Bioshock Creator Ken Levine to Write the Screenplay For Remake of 1976 Sci-Fi Film ‘Logan’s Run’

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no need to remake everything!!!

Terrible. How could you ever top the original? And what celebrity these days has the awesome drawing power over young boys that Farrah Fawcett in her prime did? No one!

C’mon! It’s been over 30 years. It has to be renewed. Carousel!

“The Snowden Principle, and that fire that inspired him to take unimaginable risks, is fundamentally about fostering an informed and engaged public. The Constitution embraces that idea. Mr. Snowden says his motivation was to expose crimes -spark a debate, and let the public know of secret policies he could not in good conscience ignore - whether you agree with his tactics or not, that debate has begun. Now, we are faced with a choice, we can embrace the debate or we can try to shut the debate down and maintain the status quo.”

I’m glad there’s a word for this. It’s one of my favorite things. Around 3:30pm, the neighbor’s tree, my window, and the sun align for an hour or so, and it’s just beautiful.

That Cheap Stuff You Just Bought At Walmart? Turns Out It Cost $6,000 More Than You Thought | UpWorthy

According to a Congressional study, $6,000 is the average amount taxpayers are being dinged per employee. Walmart’s wages and benefits are so low, it forces workers to go on Medicaid and receive housing assistance, childcare subsidies, food stamps, and more. Yes, it’s totally insane, but it’s true.

Depression messes you up. On a cellular level.

rosalindrobertson:

You have heard me go on at length about how you need to baby your whole body during depression…

It turns out there is a reason why it’s more than just Feeling Sad. A landmark study from the University of Michigan has shown that the body clock of a depressed person is, well, completely ratfucked. And this might explain why you want to eat icing out of a can, why getting out of bed is such an exhausting prospect, why you’re up with the hamsters all night…

…and why it’s just more than Choosing To Be Happy.

Depression fucks with you on an absolutely cellular level.

Just look at this diagram.

So, forgive me, Happy Folks, but teasing that bit of yarn apart is going to take some time and some serious recovery tactics.

Stay strong, my fellow fruitbats.

“The kind of corruption we’ve got today is not bad souls. It’s good souls, it’s good people who are living within a system that forces them to behave in a certain way to succeed. And I think what we need to do is to say to those people, “We understand. But you are responsible for fixing this. And you could fix this. Without changing the constitution you could take the most important first step in fixing this. And if you don’t, then you are responsible for destroying the most important democratic branch we’ve got.””

In honour of term paper season, I fixed up my pattern from last year with simpler stitches and brighter colours. Perfect for passive-aggressively stitching in the grad lounge.

Pattern and finished stitching both available in my new Etsy store.

For everyone who’s every done an undergraduate or graduate thesis, as well as postdocs and professors….

Probably one of my favorite pictures of all time, Saturn V rocket getting arranged on the launch pad, nine of these took us to the moon, in the 1960’s and 70’s with primitive computers and most math skills being done purely from the operator’s own heads, this one pictured here was actually for the launch of Apollo 13, the recovery of which should definitely go down as a miracle of human spirit and history
