So uh, im not seeing it anywhere. I know one reporter got arrested -im fairly certain- for trying to cover it but is anyone else in the northeastern US area concerned, or know about the train derailment in ohio? The one carrying a few different chemicals in train cars some of which were carrying vinyl chloride which is a toxic carcinogen thats gonna go in the water table and also cause acid rain a bit doen the line? That no one is allowed talking about and pets in that town have dropped dead from and people are getting sick and non government scientists are saying pelple within a 200 mile radius should be worried and its inly gonna get worse and its worse than chernobyl actually?
Bc everyone said the railway strike was just for days off but it was also for safety regulations that were taken out and gotten rid of going into effect this year and thereve been a few train derailments actually and a truck (somewhere i dont remember its a lot please look things up im just trying to feel things out here) tipped and spilled chemicals into a creek. But everyones too worried about aliens that werent even there and have been proven the 90% of the balloons werent real it really was probably just a distraction. And uh, no ones doing anything to contain the chemicals. Bc theres nothing really to do now that its done. And you could see that fire from space. And there was another in florida you could also see from space.

Interesting fact I think you didn't know (and which I've learned from my chemistry teacher that worked in different branches of the industry his entire life):
Czech people are kind of radiation resistant because we literally live on radioactive soil (the entire country is filled with uranium. When Marie Sklodowska Curie discovered radiation, she was using Czech uranium).
And that's also why we handled the Chernobyl radiation so well - we're used to it and basically immune to it.
That's right folks, Czechs are basically radioactive

Workaholics Anonymous 
Science Major: Man, I sure wish I had time to enjoy college but I have so much studying and homework to do. At least I'll get an easy high paying job after, right?
Physicist: I think I have a pretty good work life balance (does not, actually) and I think my grad students should have the same work life balance (which is not having that)
Astronomer: I work *about 40 hour weeks, but sometimes there are hours are in the middle of the night 'cause, y'know, stars. But who needs a consistent sleep schedule, really? Not me. I got Redbull.
Geologist: Sometimes I get to spend 15 hours a day wandering through the desert in severe weather conditions looking for cool rocks! also I have to like survey the land or whatever so I can get money
Chemist: Oh, you know, my PI only lets me see my family at night for dinner, then I have to come back and sleep in the lab, but overall I’d say I’m not too stressed.
Physician: Well, I had to work really hard, so why shouldn't everyone else have to work even harder? I'm sure the patients could only benefit from everyone being sleep deprived.
Biologist: I work so much I don’t even remember the last time I wasn’t working.
Science Major: huh?
Biologist: I MUST OBSERVE THE CRAB AT ALL TIMES. I OBSERVE THE CRAB EVEN AS WE SPEAK. IF I DO NOT PUBLISH 60 PAPERS ON CRAB BEHAVIOR BY NEXT YEAR MY COLLEAGUES WILL SENSE MY WEAKNESS AND DEVOUR ME ALIVE, LIKE A PACK OF STARVING CRABS
Computer Scientist: Um… I work from home for at most 8 hours a day then play video games
Biologist: *licks lips*
Computer Scientist (Game Dev): I would murder you if I wasn't so... oh there I go- *passes out from exhaustion (hasn't slept or touched grass in five years)*

I finished Super Paper Mario earlier today for the first time after 16 years of owning and adoring the game and
I have a question for any Limentio / Dimigi shippers out there.
Why

Oisin is such a bastard, I love him. That one liner was awesome and the ping pong balls thing was honestly kinda hot. She might have too many trust issues around it (valid) but if Oisin survives this and gets uncorrupted Adaine should still hit that.

Chemistry behind painting pigment (1)
Tumblr media
Paris green (copper(II) acetate triarsenite or copper(II) acetoarsenite) is an arsenic-based organic pigment. It is named after being used to kill rats in the sewers of Paris. Because of its bright color and low price, Paris green was a popular pigment in the early 19th century when its toxicity was not found. It was widely used in clothing, candles, and wallpaper.
Painters such as Monet, Cezanne, and Van Gogh often used paris green as the pigment in their works. In the 1980s, the biochemistry department of the University of Glasgow examined Napoleon's body and found that he may die from arsenic poisoning. In the past, the green wallpaper used by the aristocracy was dyed with arsenic dyes such as Paris green. This is one of the hypotheses of how Napoleon died.

picking top 10 tmbg songs is still hard, but I do think "I love you for psychological reasons" Has to be up there. I loveee these descriptions of trying to rationalise the concept of attraction, I was completely into it from the opening lines of "lately I've taken to vacantly making repetitive movements, mistakenly seen as improvements," the rhymes in general are extremely satisfying, and I'm a hugeee sucker for love and romance and such being approached in this more subtle, slightly repressed, scientifically-minded manner.
I love that it's a take on the song "I love you for sentimental reasons" (nat king cole best version btw), which was written about the surface emotion of being in love, while this tries to dig into the chemical reasons of - why? why do our brains fall in love the way that they do? but at the same time, it seems as though narrator doesn't want to overanalyse the experience too much and almost spoil the magic of affection. that's why they don't want to get into the reasons. maybe they're afraid that if they pick it apart too much, they'll lose that attraction, so they pull back.
in some ways, it feels like a counterpart to the insecurity of "she's an angel," whose neurotic narrator sounds like they're in a perpetual state of waiting for the other shoe to drop in a good relationship, because their partner is just too damn perfect to the point of deifying them. like, how could she Possibly be with Me?? this woman's an angel?? is this a mistake, do they know she's missing? also god I just now realised as I was writing this - that song's entire theme is a deconstruction of sappy pick-up lines like "did it hurt when you fell from heaven / heaven must be missing an angel" isn't it. sorry, talking about "psychological reasons" kinda got away from me here.

Hi! Louis rocked last night! Do you know what was so special about the post malone song?
like why did Louis pick it? I mean obviously I/ we can't know, and I assume he likes the song for starters (he followed Post Malone on insta a couple years ago, for what it's worth). And him and the band were able to make it work, it sounded great in the set and sounded great with his voice, so he must have seen that potential in it. But the lyrics are wild for Louis to be singing and the fact that they echo like half of his songs and pretty much all his other covers in theme makes it pretty hard not think that's why, that it is a song that grabbed him and resonated with him, or at minimum that it being so parallel to KMM was a factor. Also I think he likes being a little daring and getting to sing explicit stuff and being like ooooh I'm really not in a teen pop boyband anymore I can do songs about getting my brains fucked out (not that he ever let that stop him😂). Plus as @goldcrumble pointed out, the nod to Seven Nation Army (the song that the crowd chant to him in latam especially and they've teased covering) in the lyrics is hilarious, it wouldn't be our SBB Louis if he did something simple and unlayered without a clever little extra, bless him🥰 (lyrics under the cut)
Oxytocin makin' it all okay When I come back down, it doesn't feel the same Now I'm sittin' 'round, waitin' for the world to end all day 'Cause I couldn't leave you if I tried
You break me, then I break my rules Last time was the last time too It's fucked up, I know, but I'm still
Outside of the party, smokin' in the car with you Seven Nation Army, fightin' at the bar with you Tell you that I'm sorry, tell me what I gotta do 'Cause I can't let go, it's chemical No, I can't let go, it's chemical
Every time I'm ready to make a change You turn around and fuck out all my brains (woo) I ain't tryna fight fate, it's too late to save face I can't get away, maybe there's no mistakes (maybe there's no mistakes)
You break me, then I break my rules Last time was the last time too It's fucked up, I know, but I'm still
Standing outside of the party, smokin' in the car with you Seven Nation Army, fightin' at the bar with you Tell you that I'm sorry, tell me what I gotta do 'Cause I can't let go, it's chemical (chemical) No, I can't let go, it's chemical (chemical) No, I can't let go, it's chemical
I can't let go, it's chemical
Tell you that I'm sorry, tell me what I gotta do No, I can't let go, it's chemical

Jackie and Shauna are definitely winning at most fucked up canon wlw pairing at the moment... Just watched heavenly creatures for the first time and some things are clicking.
Once you realize that Jennifer's body and heavenly creatures set the tone for those two from the start everything sort of makes sense.

Did you make Michael and Gary gay just so there was an uwu kitten with a big strong bad boy bf on purpose or
I have no clue what you're talking about Gary is an underweight sleazeball and Michael's got the fate of the entire universe to think about. Michael might be pink and a little ignorant but he's not what I'd call. an uwu kitten. Gary acts punk and tough but he's just been hiding in isolation for years doing fuck all.
