Y'all have to black list "rott" if you don't want to see Rise of the Titans spoilers

Hey, reblog this again. My blog will not be spoiler free. So please black list this tag

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

an article on the subject for the curious:

most of the talk on this website about Game Changer is how Sam Reich psychologically tortures his contestants, but I want to make it clear to the uninitiated that he's actually extremely ethical about it

He sends out a company wide email and asks them to choose episodes based on a chili pepper rating system

meaning he doesn't put 🌶️🌶️ people into 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ episodes

they're also big on consent ie cast and crew have to be okay with it before they'll do nudity or something like that in an episode

it's like the bdsm of psychological torture. safe, sane, and consensual.

the contestants know what they're getting into, and they're full down

everyone in the tags/replies is really knocking it out of the park

is game changer rack or ssc?

Extremely Important Update: in April 2023 the World Bird Sanctuary had an orphaned eagle chick in need of care, so they decided to see if Murphy could live up to his parental ambitions.

He successfully raised the chick, which is now thriving with the other juvenile eaglets!

Congrats Murphy, you made it happen through sheer determination.

(Pictures are from the Facebook page of the World Bird Sanctuary; I can’t link them directly because I don’t have a FB account and the site is a nightmare to interact with if you’re not logged in, constantly resetting and kicking you to registration pages.)

Update: Murphy’s foster chick has now been released back in the wild!

you can always tell how little people actually care about art based on how much they hate modern/contemporary art

''bring back renaissance art'' I bet your ass you can't even definitively tell that movement apart from others

"posing next to art we think we can do'' can you though. can you

>sees a post about the superiority of renaissance art.

>it's baroque.

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

My favourite thing about Breaking News is that it's a constantly escalating war between Sam Reich and Grant O'Brien

And Game Changer is between Sam and Brennan Lee Mulligan

Sam is picking so many battles

it’s genuinely hilarious in an awful way that on the bridge that leads to galveston island texas is a sign that reads “welcome to galveston, the birthplace of juneteenth” as if that’s anything to be proud of……….💀

like matthew and i were driving down to galveston to visit some friends and my eyes were on the road but matthew saw this sign off the causeway and was like hey baby what’s juneteenth and i was like why do u ask? and he was like there was this sign that said “galveston, the birthplace of juneteenth” and my jaw dropped and matthew was like What and i was like Is galveston bragging about being the very last place in the United States to free their slaves, years after other slaves were freed… and matthew was like THATS what Juneteenth is??

that’s literally what it was giving

Spot on 😆

Actual faith vs performative religion.

To shave your beard is a huge sacrifice for a devout Sikh. It is a sacrifice for the greater good, that many people will scoff at without understanding the amount of love it took, to give up part of your faith to serve the greater purpose of that faith. Bless them all.

an interesting take on this from matt braly, creator of amphibia

Imagine being a business that has managed to get THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE, and you've managed to make it so this is a bad thing.

You did it. That's late stage capitalism in one sentence.

funniest adhd thing is when you're like ugh. doing this simple task would be too hard. guess i'll do a difficult one instead

One time instead of finishing inking a single drawing I straight up applied for and got a new job

I don't actually care about actors needing to be queer to play queer roles because that leads to very bad outcomes with forcing people out of the closet BUT I do think we should hire a more out gay people to play straight roles. And they should be vocally disgusted with it in interviews and visibly bad at it on screen. You know, to balance things out

This is where we need that interview with Sir Ian McKellen where he explains he was able to do a heterosexual scene because his friend and fellow-actor Edward Petherbridge drew him some how-to diagrams.

this is why I don’t drive. I can’t have a car telling me I don’t fuck

Happy TDOV!! Made a small comic, cutting my hair short was pretty much when I went. oh yeah baybe. its all comin together😏😏
