The Political Cartoons of Herblock.
The world changes, but the far right? the far right never changes.
(May all holy gods grant that, some day, classic Herblock cartoons will stop being topical and relevant.)
One of the most important reasons to study your past is to make sure you're making sufficient progress to see why it was wrong then and use it to see why you may be wrong now.
Too many current bigots are still making the same prejudiced judgments their predecessors did for the same evil calculations.
it’s crazy how much diversity there can be in one species…these are all pictures of the same bird species (red-tailed hawk)
Not that much diversity; they all look exactly the amount of irritated and aggrieved.
It’s amazing what you can do with a little needle and thread! For #WorldEmbroideryDay, we asked what NASA imagery inspired you. You responded with a variety of embroidered creations, highlighting our different areas of study.
Here’s what we found:
ALTWendy Edwards, a project coordinator with Earth Science Data Systems at NASA, created this embroidered piece inspired by Webb’s Carina Nebula image. Captured in infrared light, this image revealed for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth. Credit: Wendy Edwards, NASA. Pattern credit: Clare Bray, Climbing Goat Designs
Learning that Brad Dourif is the voice of Chucky the killer doll did something to my brain and now I keep sneaking up behind people and saying "My lord, Gandalf the Grey is here. He's a herald of woe" in a bad Jersey accent
"I fuckin TOLD ya to take the wizahd's staff!"
BRAD DOURIF WAS WORMTONGUE?
Yup, that is none other than Brad "Gendahflooid" Dourif
He apparently really got Christopher Lee when he dropped the english accent for the first time. Chris told him to stop doing a terrible American impression.

the masses are uneducated . we must bring back the pokerap
at montreux jazz ‘76, nina simone closed with a dramatic interpretation of easy listening hit ‘feelings’ by morris albert. in the last few minutes of this finale, she says
‘im not going to let you go so soon, and so embarrassingly soft, so let’s, please, to the chorus’
for a moment, simone stops singing, with one hand remaining on the piano and the other conducting the audience, whose vocal accompaniment overlays simone’s gentle playing in a tentative but tender embrace. simone improvises the final lyrics and melody, begins vulnerably, closes with a bang, and says good night.

welcome to ‘no note bungus’. reblog and you will feel a sense of accomplishment and goodwill wash over you
With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar
The one Vulcan aspect Kirk can excel at.
Kirk: “Oh yeah I’m from Iowa. It’s part of something called tornado alley.”
Spock: “Where’s the captain? The storm is getting worse.”
Crewman: “He’s out there with the other Vulcans. He told us to wait in the shuttle.”
[ID: Image in @/thetimetostrikeislater's reblog is fanart showing Kirk from the back with his hands on his hips, standing between two Vulcans in long robes while they all watch a sandstorm in the distance. End ID]
![a screenshot of what hozier said the song eat your young is about. it says “I don’t know how intentional the reference to Jonathan Swift was in this. That essay [Swift’s 1729 satirical essay A Modest Proposal in which he suggests the Irish poor sell their children as food] is such a cultural landmark that it’s just hanging in the air. I was more reflecting on what I felt now in this spirit of the times of perpetual short-term gain and a long-term blindness. The increasing levels of precarious living, poverty, job insecurity, rental crisis, property crisis, climate crisis, and a generation that’s inheriting all of that and one generation that’s enjoyed the spoils of it. The lyrics are direct, but the voice is playful. There’s this unreliable narrator who relishes in this thing which was fun to write.”](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5513446542757aab44ed1ea8e1ada450/6fb2be2459b285bf-83/s1280x1920/783c7c61098b21a2b5369d1f1c249222fad30386.jpg)
