“I don’t know what’s going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here’s what I DO know. If it’s one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we’re lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they’re pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.”

NASA set to launch Sunjammer, the largest solar sail in history, with hopes to revolutionize near space travel
It might not get you all the way to Cardassia Prime, but NASA hopes its newly launched solar-sail Sunjammer program will lead to a future where propellantless space craft are used for a multitude of functions beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
“Once proven, solar sail technology could enable a host of versatile space missions, including flying an advanced space-weather warning system to more quickly and accurately alert satellite operators and utilities on Earth of geomagnetic storms caused by coronal mass ejections from the sun,” NASA said in a release.
Additionally, NASA sees the project as something that can work to help clean up the piles of floating space garbage in orbit. (NASA)It may seem like a simple-minded reaction, and hey, we guess it is, but this Sunjammer rendering sure looks like something out of our wildest science-fiction fantasies. And harnessing the power of the sun to achieve propellantless space flight? These are the kinds of “final frontier” investments that are made to set our imaginations aflame.

Krowiarki Palace: Here is a rare glimpse inside what was once one of Poland’s grandest palaces. Unfortunately, very little is known about this extraordinary building. Spared destruction in World War II and shuttered for more than 40 years, it is supposedly being restored to its former glory.

Frank Langella tells Dave Davies about what the film Robot and Frank made him think about:
I know I’m closer to the end than the beginning, so I’m trying to be far more conscious of any time wasted, which I still waste, as everybody does. But because it’s inevitable and because there’s nothing I can do about it, and I was taught at a fairly young age — not young enough, I wish I had learned earlier — that to waste any time on the inevitable or the thing you cannot control or fix is absolute nonsense. …
What the film has done for me is made me much more keenly aware — even though it’s a cliché these days that machines are taking over our lives — [it] made me much more keenly aware of how we all miss contact with each other.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/cd9e9f5158d95ad1d9c3c690353a1a21/tumblr_mkdzsykkgx1qd9dz2o1_500.png)

look at this synopsis
my best friend and i have agreed this is a cinematic masterpiece and also the most terrible romcom ever made. there is also an entire scene were everyone orgasms over pastries. and then there is a random mist everywhere. also we always said that the crab was the main character, at least someone else agrees.
best film in the history of cinema
I non-ironically love this movie. Mostly for the food porn.
