Brother Ben, this is the best damn sandwich I ever ate. It’s a baguette, with brie and butter. I had four of these damn things every day I was there. You got to try this thing.

Wait, it got better.
He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:
For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.
It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton

I cant comment on this just fucking look at it
i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he's one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he's a 43-year-old tiktok star. he's a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press's coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he's the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says "this machine pwns n00bs" on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as "the science one" (or "the music one") while his brother was "the writer one," and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he's done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual
In 1998. his Winter Park High School classmates named him “Best Dancer.” He’s had an album on the Billboard Charts, and he won an Emmy for a web-based adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. He co-founded DFTBA.com, the Awesome Coffee Club, the Awesome Sock Club, and Sun Basin Soap--but doesn’t make money from any of them. Instead he’s led these brands to donate over $5,000,000 to a hospital in Sierra Leone. His companies, when he stepped down as CEO due to the cancer, had over 115 full-time employees, all of whom receive a living wage and good benefits. His production company, Complexly, has made educational videos with 5 billion total views, and helped hundreds of millions learn through SciShow and Crash Course. He is the sweetest dad to the world’s most amazing six-year-old, and the spouse of one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet, and he is loved--ferociously--by his brother. He truly is among the Most Guys Ever.
This is one of the few posts that lives in my likes because every once in a while I think, “I should listen to that video again, it can’t possibly be as funny as I thought it was the first time I heard it” and then I hit play and I laugh. Every time.
I ended up on the Wikipedia page for "oldest dated rocks" and it's got me feeling all sorts of fucked up about the sheer size of geologic timescales.
Rocks from the Hadean eon — the time when Earth was first forming — are extremely rare because the majority of them have been eroded or melted, or perhaps deep in the Earth, but there are some examples:
The oldest estimated Earth rock is a zircon sample with an age of 4.404 ±0.008 billion years. A few things stand out about that. First, the age of the Earth is estimated to be about 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years old. That's less than 100 million years between Earth's genesis and the creation of that zircon sample. Second, the margin of error on the age of the zircon is 8 million years. That zircon is so old that that's the most precise guess at its age.
The Earth has changed so much, geologically speaking, that a contender for the oldest known rock made on Earth was actually found on the Moon. Lunar Sample 14321, aka Big Bertha, was collected during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. In 2019 it was estimated at over 4 billion years old. This is a meteorite from Earth, back when our planet was still forming and was being impacted by massive asteroids. There may even be others older than Big Bertha on the Moon, possibly making it the best place to learn about the Hadean eon.
But you know what has me really fucked up? The oldest known rock on Earth isn't actually from Earth. The Murchison meteorite fell in Australia in 1969. Parts of it are estimated to be about 7 billion years old. Again, the age of the Earth is roughly 4.54 billion years old, meaning that this meteorite is 2.5 billion years older than Earth — older than the Solar System and the Sun, even. Our Solar System was just a large cloud of space dust when this meteorite was formed. It's that old.
These rocks were formed on timescales so far beyond our comprehension that I feel insane just thinking about them.
Something that didn't hit me until the end of the post-that tiny 100 million year gap between the oldest earth rocks and the Earth's formation is longer than the time since the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.
Deep time is quite something, isn't it?
Sometimes I just start singing and my mom joins in
Whoa…
#don’t trust this #they’re probably sirens
These two are singing “O magnum mysterium” by Tomas Luis De Victoria! It’s a very pretty piece from the renaissance that has a lot of different voice parts singing totally different melodies that mesh well together. I sung tenor for a song of his as well. It sounds ethereal in cathedrals and bathrooms alike my opinion. Its the room’s ability to bounce sound and make it resonate, giving it it’s “mermaid siren” like quality. It sounds great. Congratulations, you both! Sounds very pretty and seems like a fun time to clean with things like that.

Black Boys On Mopeds - Sinéad O'Connor
Margaret Thatcher on TV Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing It seems strange that she should be offended The same orders are given by her I've said this before now You said I was childish and you'll say it now Remember what I told you: If they hated me they will hate you England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
there are so many tags on this like ‘lollll this is my friend its so annoying’ or ‘lol literally theyre just like this but i still love my tswift mutuals 🥰’ like NO!!! FREE YOURSELF!!!!! THESE PEOPLE CANNOT BE REASONED WITH!!!!
No cuz I had a mutual on tiktok that said unironically that tswift was the greatest queer artist of this generation and I said that was insulting to actual queer folks making art and music and they said "you just don't get it and that's okay 😌" and to this day I want to fight that person like middle schoolers on a bus
It is extremely insulting and deranged to say that tswift has done anything for the queer community at all

Okay so Victorian erotica is literally the most heinous, morally bankrupt, horrific shit I've ever read - but I've read a fair bit, partly from historical interest but also because a while back I helped a friend with a university project she was doing about censorship and pornography in 19th century England.
Anyway I need to share with you all the most hilarious line that has ever been written, circa 1887:
I feel like this excerpt is significantly enhanced by knowing that the novel in question is a first-person narrative written from the perspective of an inexplicably sapient flea who lives on Bella's body, and that's why the third priest's penis is described in this way: from the narrator's perspective it literally blots out the sky.

pierce brown really did end the first red rising trilogy with the female love interest becoming the new ultimate leader and his male protagonist becoming what is essentially her trophy husband, and honestly he’s so real for that.
