So the James Webb telescope just took a picture of a galaxy that is 29 million light years away.
If that wasn't cool enough NASA decided to peel away all the cosmic dust in order to see the bones of the Galaxy itself.
AND IT'S BREATHTAKING
Friendly reminder for any other people on the autism spectrum:
It's not recommended to offer to kill someone's dad, especially if you're talking to a stranger
may I please have more context?
Sometimes dads are terrible and should die, and you can console people by offering to rid them of this troublesome parent, but you should be friends with the person before making the offer
how the fuck are we supposed to make friends if not through gestures of patricide?
Unknown. I'll provide updates if I ever figure it out
Blitzstone is canon in the same way Ernie and Bert are canon. It was always intended, it is clear that it was always intended, they sleep together and everything. I mean they poke each other half heartedly and my brain just decorates their wedding party ngl.

This is so true and real
not a direct panel redraw but i absolutely adore this line from vol3 issue16 of Batwoman's 2017 run!!
Sorry for who-posting in the year 2019 but the Doctor is actually so named because he wrote and successfully defended a dissertation at an accredited university whereas the Master completed a 2-year graduate program in his chosen field, which points to the existence of a third less-advanced and less-specialized counterpart, the Bachelor
The Bachelor is never seen in the show because he’s still living with his parents on Gallifrey, listlessly applying for jobs and stress-eating
I thought the bachelor was being fought over by 12 women in a big house
galaxy brain: The Bachelor Tv show has featured the same man for every season but he regenerates like the doctor
obsessed with the idea that the bachelor is ritually killed at the end of every season
companies really have got to be okay with stagnant profits. what is wrong with earning the same amount every year? why does it always have to be more? it's not sustainable. there are only so many people on the planet you can profit from 😭
This is the thing. If there are only so many people they can profit from, and they demand to see profits go up every year, they will have to steal more out of the pockets of the little people each year, either by paying less, or by charging more. And that is the problem. Because that is exactly what is happening. And the rich get richer. And the poor are getting so poor that it is coming to a crisis point. They seem to have forgotten what happens at the crisis point though: people who have nothing to lose, will rise up and fight.

But also, “increasing profits every quarter” is a relatively recent thing. It’s new since the 1980s! In the 1980s, Reagan heavily promoted the economic theories connected with the Chicago school of economics. (“Reaganomics” is basically the Chicago school ideas dumbed down to fit in soundbites.) The Chicago school is, among other things, responsible for such wonders as “all regulation in the marketplace is always bad” “monopoly is good because it’s efficient” and “trickle-down economics.” When those ideas became mainstream, and were adopted wholeheartedly by Wall Street, they spawned the idea that the most important measure of a company was its stock increasing in value. Not how much business it was doing, not how well its customers liked and valued it, not how stable it was for the long-term. Is its stock increasing is the only measure of value.
Prior to that point, a business--even large corporations!--were valued more on how reliable they are. If I invest in this business, will it still be there five, ten, fifteen, twenty years from now? Businesses were good if they were profitable and stable. Increasing profits was wonderful! But they understood that that is not infinitely sustainable, and that if you wanted to maximize long-term profits for individual investors and for the economy as a whole, you did not want flash-in-the-pan trendiness, and you didn’t want a business cannibalizing itself, you wanted a business that was stable and took good care of its customers so they’d keep coming back.
It also means that the people in charge of these companies never think about the future of the company beyond next quarter, or maybe a couple quarters. They’ll shoot themselves, and their customers, in the foot now to nudge the stock price up two cents this quarter.
