Wait, if they are bringing back past contestants on You're Fired, could that mean we see the return of...

I feel so freaking lost rn, what happened with Sam Pepper????
He made a video where he pinched random lady's bottoms, and even when some stated they were uncomfortable or not happy with the situation, he just laughed it off. He assumed it was alright as he calls it a prank, so somehow that makes it an okay thing to do. There was a huge backlash by loads of people, including youtubers saying sexual assault in no way shape or form is acceptable. There was a campaign to reportsampepper and trying to take down the video. In the past few hours the video was finally taken down, several days after it was posted. Think that is the gist of the situation.
The Great British Bake Off is back!
But I work Wednesday evenings, so I can't watch and live blog with it - genuinely upset about that, haha. Just finished watching last nights episode and Chetna and Martha are my favourites at the moment.
- THE UP SERIES: It follows the lives of 14 children through their lives interviewing them every seven years. It’s amazing to see how they change and where they go. It shows that personality traits do not tend to be very static. Being introverted at 18 doesn’t determine how you’ll be at 32. A girl on there around 20 was totally against having a family and was very cynical about relationships and marriage. Next interview, she was happily wed with children. I link you to 7 UP, which is the first documentary in the series.
- QUEEN OF VERSAILLES:If you have any interest in the SUPER RICH of America and how absolutely delusional they can be, then this documentary will blow your mind. It’s a great window into the lives of people who literally have everything a person could need. Even when they loose everything, they’re entirely incapable of believing that they’re a normal citizen.
- THE ACT OF KILLING: One review describes it as: “This is the most gut-wrenching film I’ve ever seen. It actually makes you understand the nature and true face of evil, and it’s terrifying because it’s so, so normal. After watching it you know that in some other life, you could be him.”
- BABIES: It shows the different ways, different cultures raise their children. It shows how different but similar we all are at the end. They documentary follows 4 different babies, from Mongalia, to Tokyo, to Namibia and then the U.S
- INSIDE NORTH KOREA: An eye-opening film that shows you the truth about a hidden country
- TOUCHING THE VOID: A documentary about two mountain climbers who have an accident on their way back. As one review described it: “Better than any fictional suspense film. Just unreal. You know throughout that the two climbers lived because you’re sitting there watching them narrate, but at times you just can’t believe it.”
- THE COVE: A 2009 documentary film that analyzes and questions dolphin hunting practices in Japan. One review described it as “an impeccably crafted, suspenseful expose of the covert slaughter of dolphins in Japan.”
- THIS IS WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE: The documentary follows U.S. Marines as they train Afghan security forces, showing their ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption as well as the reduced role of US Marines due to the troop withdrawal.
- BBC PLANET EARTH (All 11 Episodes): An HD exploration of our world. You’ll just love everything about this, trust me.
- JESUS CAMP: About a Christian summer camp, where children spend their summers being taught that they have “prophetic gifts” and can “take back America for Christ”. This documentary led to the shut down of this summer camp.

YES! AMAZING
IM HIGHLY SUGGESTING THe ACT OF KILLING It has been rightfully described as the first true surrealist film in documentary form
DO YOU EVER WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU’RE SCARED OF BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP
i wish there wasn’t a stigma about doing things alone. you can’t go out to eat alone, you can’t see a movie alone, basically anything fun, you’re looked down on for doing alone and it’s so stupid you shouldn’t need other people to validate your decisions

It it just me that finds it class that John Green went to Vidcon. Like you wouldn’t think an professional author would go to Vidcon.
well, he and his brother, Hank, founded it so it isn't too surprising!
We live in a society that glorifies sexual assault to a degree that when I was a teenager I asked myself whether something was wrong with me for not being groped in the streets. The pride with which my classmates spoke of how apparently every random male hit on them made me wonder whether I was just too ugly to be desired. Something is rotten when harassment becomes the means young girls are taught to determine their self-worth with.
Am I reading things wrong or was Benedict Cumberbatch really not nominated for a Bafta?
Sherlock was broadcasted in 2014, BAFTA nominations were for shows broadcasted in 2013. So any nominations for Sherlock will be next year!
Sherlock hasn’t been nominated for any BAFTA’s… I’m really struggling to understand why….
It was broadcasted in 2014, the BAFTA nominations were for shows broadcasted in 2013 :)

New Year fireworks over Europe as seen from space
Wait… There are several time zones in Europe. Why would they all have fireworks at once? Or is this a photo a combination of multiple photos taken at the respective midnight of each time zone?
The large amount of 'fireworks' in the North Sea is a bit of a giveaway!

wow the west is getting such an ideological boost from this whole russia debacle.
i heard people upholding greece as a symbol of queer rights because they wore rainbow mittens at the olympic opening ceremony.
greece, who is rounding up trans women and putting them in camps.
this is what western liberalism looks like: bad openly exterminationist easterners! try PRETENDING to not be exterminationist, then you’ll be a truly progressive nation!
The Greece olympics team weren't even wearing 'rainbow mittens' - they were coloured red, yellow, blue, green and black, or you know, the colours of the Olympics rings. So yeah, don't hold uphold Greece for something they didn't even do.
IN A FEW YEARS TWO WOMEN OR TWO MEN CAN BE HAVING BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN TOGETHER SCIENCE (x)
I’ve always suspected that men, as a gender, are sort of useless… but reading evidence about it is a lit’ scary
Don’t worry, there’ll be many straight women who wanna do it the old fashioned way. You’re not at risk of extinction just yet.

Is this real?
Unless the article itself is fake (I don’t believe it is, though I did not research) I believe it is factual. I don’t post things I believe to be untrue. :)
Well, it is from the Daily Mail which isn't always the most reliable news source, and it is from 2008, so might be interesting to see how this has progressed over 6 years.
