Magnetic Putty ‘Eating’ A Piece Of Metal (Source)

I think basically what is going on here is that the putty has a strong charge that is opposite the charge of the magnet. The two objects therefore attract each other and as a result, the magnet gets engulfed into the viscous fluid like putty.

These, for me, are the two most depressing paintings in western history. They were painted by post-impressionist Henry de Toulouse-Lautrec, a man who, due to inbreeding, was born with a genetic disorder that prevented his legs from growing after they were broken. After being so thoroughly mocked for is appearance, he became an alcoholic, which is what eventually caused his institutionalization and death. His only known romantic relations were with prostitutes. And then he paints something like this which is so beautiful and tender and sentimental. It seems like the couple in bed really loves each other—cares about each other. Wakes up happy to look at each other. And I see that love and passion and I wonder how lonely he must have been. I wonder how he could paint something like this without it breaking his heart.  Maybe they say artists should create what they know, not because its unbelievable when they extend themselves beyond their experiences, but because when they pull it off with such elegance, it’s so damn unbearable to look at. I hate thinking of Lautrec, wondering about the lovers he created and knowing it was beyond his experience. Creating something that he knows is beautiful and knows he’ll never really understand.

Annette Kellerman promotes women’s right to wear a fitted one piece bathing suit. She was arrested for indecency in 1907.

This is Queen Elizabeth I’s secret locket ring. It wasn’t discovered until her death that the ring opened up to reveal two portraits of her and her mother Queen Anne Boleyn.

Aries - I don’t know if I can give you advice when I still don’t have you figured out. Taurus - you are messier than my bedroom floor, but the piles of clothing are where my dog likes to sleep; sometimes the chaos that you leave behind becomes a safe place for someone else to rest. Gemini - being mysterious feels good, but sometimes it’s so refreshing to be understood. Cancer - you are so good at so many things, but you are better at making people feel loved than anyone else I’ve ever known. Leo - you have spent all of your energy holding yourself together when you should have eased up on your confines and spent your time cultivating the gardens in your chest that you have never let flourish. Virgo - sometimes I feel like I can’t live my life until it is exactly the way I want it to be, and I know you feel the same way sometimes. I think in time we’ll both learn how to live in imperfection. Libra - you just always have to write like no one will ever read it; you have to be as honest as you would be if no one was looking over your shoulder. Scorpio - I feel like all I ever do is worry about you and that can’t be very good for either of us. Sagittarius - you are impossible, but I’ve learned to like that about you. Capricorn - you don’t have to be as cold as your winter birthday; you don’t have to freeze over every time the ground does. Aquarius - stop pretending to be less interesting than you are because you think that no one can stomach the carnival in your laugh or the windy roads of your stories. Pisces - if you don’t stop telling yourself so many lies, soon you might not even be able to look yourself in the face when you’re standing in front of a mirror.

I don’t normally reblog stuff like this but I need to. This is fucking TERRIFYING. What the hell is wrong with people? 

This scared me so bad I needed context and perspective. I needed to know what the hell was going on. And I have a feeling everyone feels the same way. 

The woman heard talking is Lisa Mahone, with her boyfriend after being pulled over for not wearing seatbelts. Her two children were in the backseat, and it was her 14-year-old son, Joesph, who recorded the encounter on his phone. 

According to the Hammond Police, one of the cops pulled a gun when Lisa’s boyfriend, Jamal, reached behind the console, “presumably to grab a weapon.”

Jamal refused to get out of the car because he “feared for his life” and would only crack the window a little bit in order to hand them the identification they asked for. 

The family is suing for damages to the vehicle as well as malice and reckless force. The two children in the back seat were injured from the cop breaking the glass. 

Nobody else was posting about the actual event, so here you go. Read the articles, watch the whole video. It’s important to understand everything that happened.
