Old news but I’m still salty about it, it really shows how shabbily voice actors are treated that they got fucking Chris Pratt to voice Mario in the Illumination Mario movie instead of Charles Martinet; who I would argue is basically to Mario as Mel Blanc is to Bugs Bunny.

And it’s not like he doesn’t have range, because you wanna know another one of his major voice acting roles? Paarthurnax from Skyrim.

Yes, the guy who said the line “What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” is also the voice of the funny wahoo man.

We really don’t appreciate voice actors enough…

Conspiracy theories about D B Cooper are fun precisely because there’s nothing deeper going on. There’s typically little or no ideological dimension to it – the greater part of D B Cooper conspiracy theories are born of the simple fact that he put so much planning and effort into such a fundamentally idiotic plan that it’s genuinely hard to believe there wasn’t more to it. You’re left with a straightforward, well documented sequence of events, and the nagging mystery of, like, what the fuck was this guy’s best case scenario here?

Yeah I’ll incorporate that into my worldview

Finally captured my holy grail! This extraordinarily rare yellow cardinal lives in a natural area that is literally 5 minutes from my old apartment and it took me MONTHS to finally get a good look at him, like one week before I moved out. I was out searching for this handsome bastard nearly every weekend, driving myself mad trying to get a photo of him, until finally he deigned to flit down right in front of me and pose AND he let me excitedly call over some nearby kids to share in the moment before he flew off. Couldn’t stop smiling.

This one-in-a-million mutation (called xanthochromism) occurs when the male cardinal lacks an enzyme responsible for converting yellow pigments in their food into the typical red of their feathers. I am a bit obsessed with the genetics of color and pattern mutations in wildlife and finally seeing this little dude up close was worth the wait.
