Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.

This is science fiction stuff! :-)

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

This is distressing and awful to see this..

All of them can fuck the fuck off.

I want to stab all of them in the eye sockets

Breast cancer is only sexy when men can wear shirts or bracelets talks about boobies or saving second base.

Can these bottom feeders be thinned from the herd please? They’re slowing us all down.

Perhaps Karma will give these trolls testicular cancer and a good old fashioned punch in the adam’s apple for good measure….

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

standardmoves:

Double Time Flutter Kicks

5 sets of 20 reps

Mary Robertson

Start by lying on your back, legs long. Bring the fingertips by the ears, bending the elbows out to the sides. Lift the chest off the floor keeping the chin lifted. With the low back pressing into the ground, lift both legs so they are at a 45 degree angle to the floor. Engage the core and begin to “criss cross” the legs, first by sweeping the right shin over the left and then left over the right. That is one rep. Continue the exercise, going for 20 reps, keeping a fast pace. Challenge yourself by adding ankle weights.

Good for core strengthening and toning.

If I do this on the airport floor, will someone think my bag is unattended? Too bad this waiting area is not equipped with stationary bikes…#planedelayed

The Real Abandoned Overlook Hotel

Unlike the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this hotel is really named the Overlook. The abandoned hotel is located in the small, wine growing town of Bernkastel-Kues in Germany. Other than it has been unoccupied for about 13 years, there is no information as to why the hotel was closed. All of the furniture remains and it looks as if everyone there simply left. There are rumors that the hotel is haunted. According to urban explorers who frequent the spooky site, cameras malfunction, sounds can be heard throughout the premises and items seem to move around the hotel by themselves.

Capital H haunted-y!

Ray Harryhausen, may your soul rest in peace or move on to become one with the cosmic energy of the Universe. Your skeleton, however? May it rise up and run around and delight and scare us…as your other skeletons did…

Okay Internets,lets all start sending Charles Ramsey of the 220 block of Seymour Avenue in Cleveland all of the presents for being a guy who sees a woman in trouble and makes it his business to go and try and help her! Also, for making local newscasters uneasy with his copious use of curse words while recounting the events and his uncomfortable but often accurate description of race relations. Hugs to him. And I wonder what kind of cookies he likes?

A page from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #312 by Todd McFarlane.

There are so many anatomical mistakes on this page, it’s making my head explode…Maybe I should print it out,circle all the mistakes in red, like a teacher and reTumbl it…just so young up and coming comic artists will not look to this as reference on how to draw a human figure.
