“He said you’re a traitor. Are you?”

“I am, child. I disobeyed my king, your father, and now I’m paying the price.”

“I don’t care, you’re my friend. You must get bored down here, I brought you something to read. It’s about Aegon and his dragons. Aegon used to live here, did you know that? And the Targaryens built this castle.”

SOMEWHERE, DAN HARMON LOL’D So this happened: for an article on how the nation’s community colleges are underfunded and underperforming, the Washington Post’s editors (and caption writers) used the fictional school from NBC’s Community to illustrate the story. ”Greendale Community College is one of many institutions whose students are getting the short end of the higher ed stick,” the photo blurb reads. And with that, journalism entered the darkest timeline.

“States vote to take away my marriage rights, and even though I don’t want to get married, it tends to hurt my feelings. I guess what bugs me is that it was put to a vote in the first place. If you don’t want to marry a homosexual, then don’t. But what gives you the right to weigh in on your neighbor’s options? It’s like voting whether or not redheads should be allowed to celebrate Christmas.”

“Demons were like genies or philosophy professors - if you didn’t word things exactly right, they delighted in giving you absolutely accurate and completely misleading answers.”

infinity-imagined:

Neurons growing in a cell culture

These time lapse animations use phase contrast microscopy to show neural stem cells in a nutrient medium for 4 hours. They reveal the dynamic growth and recycling of dendrites and synapses as neurons establish relationships with each other. The social behavior of these cells creates the incredible properties of the mind and brain.

(x) The Luggage from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld

“The Luggage was also extremely protective if its owner. It would be hard to describe its attitude to the rest of creation, but one could start with the phrase ‘bloody-minded malevolence’ and work up from there.”

- Terry Pratchett, “Sourcery”

“The Luggage’s lid was set in an expression of grim determination. It didn’t want much out of the world, except for the total extinction of every other lifeform, but what it needed more than anything else now was its owner.”

- Terry Pratchett, “Sourcery”

Magrat: Whatever happened to the rule about not meddling?
Nanny Ogg: As you progress in the craft, you'll learn there is another rule. One that Esme's obeyed all her life.
Magrat: What's that?
Nanny Ogg: When you break rules, break 'em good and hard.

formalhall:

Buzzfeed has put together a collection of Discworld quotes on life, the universe, and everything. These 26 (admittedly lovely) posters do not even begin to scratch the humour, wisdom, and brilliance of one of the best writers the world has ever produced. If you’ve read Discworld, you know what I’m talking about, if you haven’t, do yourself a favour and start.

Thunder rolled…

It is said that the gods play games with the lives of men. But what games, and why, and the identities of the actual pawns, and what the game is, and what the rules are - who knows?

Best not to speculate.

Thunder rolled…

It rolled a six.

“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.”
