Quick reminder that you’re totally allowed to like things without diving completely into knowing everything about them

you like 2 or 3 songs by a band and never listened to more? that’s perfectly okay

you like the Marvel movies but have no interest in reading 50 years of comic books? totally fine

you only play one or two videos games, mostly on your cell phone? they’re fun!

you read and enjoyed the Harry Potter books but don’t care about looking into crazy theories and clues planted in the stories? It’s not for everyone!

You don’t need to meet a requirement to enjoy something and anyone who claims you do is an elitist and an asshole

This, this, this, THIS, THIS!!

so basically what happened on friday with kesha is that a motion for a preliminary injunction was denied. the trial as such hasn’t even started yet.

kesha’s case against dr luke is a hybrid of torts and contracts claims, and it’s a case in equity rather than in law. what that means is that she doesn’t want money damages (which would be a case in law), she wants a thing to happen (in cases in equity this is essentially called specific performance). she wants to be released from her contract. if she’s asking for money damages i haven’t read anything about it.

so when suits like this are brought, when the plaintiff wants the defendant to either do or not do something, a preliminary hearing for the injunction is held basically so a judge (no jury yet) can assess whether it’s in the ~*~interests of justice~*~ for a temporary version of what the plaintiff is asking for to be put into place before the court (either judge or jury) hears all the evidence at trial.

kesha’s lawyer moved for a preliminary injunction in the form of a temporary release from her contract, so that she can produce music without dr luke while the trial is pending (because who the fuck knows how long the trial is going to take). this was denied. this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s locked into the contract forever, because the trial on whether or not she should be released hasn’t happened yet. but it does mean that, until a verdict is handed down on that issue, the contract stands as valid.

seriously dudes my big concern is that ppl will think it’s already over and will stop showing up for her and supporting her


#GOOD INFO
#BUT LIKE WHY ARE PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THEM SUPPORTING KESHA HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE CASE #LIKE HONESTLY?

listen up fucktruck my big concern is that a rape victim doesn’t feel alone nobody thinks that public outcry has anything to do with the outcome of a civil trial so sit all the way down maybe

this girl has been all alone in her pain for ten years and i don’t want people to forget about her again because of a misunderstanding of the legal process

The only important thing that happened during the Dem debate.

He is garbage.

but but but the 1%!!!!!!

Ok hold on, I actually just read the article and it actually seems the people who said “oh he’s garbage” or whatever didn’t actually read what they reblogged.

His plan involves increasing taxes, yes, but he’s also planning to do away with private insurance premiums. You’re actually saving money via that plan, so ultimately better off financially. Put simply, private insurance premium going away means all that money back in your pocket. Then, you pay SOME of that money to taxes. Taxes go up, BUT you’re paying less than you’d have paid the private company. So yes, you’d be paying more taxes, but in total your expenses go down by thousands.

Read the things you reblog, dammit.

Uhhhh

You literally admitted he says he wants to increase taxes.

oh boo hoo, you pay a little bit more in taxes. how else do people expect shit to get done? -_-

… Really?

oh no my taxes are going to be more

and people nationwide will stop suffering from lack of healthcare 

and maybe ending poverty will take a step in the right direction

and maybe private insurance companies will stop gouging people 

and hey I’ll actually have a net positive after all this since it saves me money in the long run

and hey maybe we’ll be on par with every other 1st world country on the planet

and hey maybe parents will call the hospital when their kids are sick instead of waiting it out because their insurance rates are too much for them to afford

but

oh no my taxes are going to be more

Same rhetoric as obamacare. Premiums are up, coverage is down, but hey. At least everyone….no wait.

Government run healthcare is the biggest croc of idiocy alive today. Medicare, medicaid, obamacare, all failures. All dying. But juuuuuust one more right? This time it will work!

so what r ur opinions on minecraft?

So… The NHS…

Guys, Sanders is asking for a 2.2% health care tax hike to cover health care costs. If your household is earning $70k a year, that’s $1,540 a year in extra taxes.

There will also be a payroll tax levied on employers of 6.7%. Assuming the entire cost is passed on to workers (and I guarantee you it won’t be - customers will also pick up part of the tab), that’s an extra $4,690, bringing the total to $6,230 a year.

Obamacare average household premiums were about $16,800 in 2015, and are still rising. That’s at least 2.7 times higher than the tax hike (a highly conservative estimate), and will probably be higher as health care costs continue to rise.

You will not need to pay for premiums in a single payer system. You’re literally saving over thousands of dollars a year if you’re a middle class citizen, and even more if you’re a working class citizen.

There are plenty of other examples of nations that have implemented a single payer system, and their citizens are paying significantly less than Americans.

Do your research before complaining about taxes.

reblogging for hard numbers

Reblogging for hard numbers. This is what George Carlin meant when he said that the owners of our country don’t want an educated populace - they want people just smart enough to do the shit work, and just dumb enough not to know how badly they’re being screwed over compared with the rest of the civilized world. Everyone who whined “but TAXES” and “he is GARBAGE” is a living example of how this plan is working out for the owners of our society, the 1%.

tldr: You pay 2% more in taxes but save $1000’s a year in insurance premium. You will pay $0 for insurance premiums.

I am Italian, born and raised in Italy, and now live in the US.

I can guarantee you that GOVERNMENT SUBSIDED HEALTH CARE WORKS EVERY FUCKING WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. He had four major surgeries, chemo, radio, hospital stays, constant check ups. From then till the day he passed away in 2011 (after a three week hospital stay) we paid MAYBE about a grand? or two? shit I can’t even remember it was SO FUCKING LITTLE. 

I dont know how the fuck anyone can expect a society to work without paying taxes, nor I do understand why taxes are a-okay when they fund COLOSSAL MILITARY SPENDING, drones, wars, or MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BAILOUT FOR WALL STREET, but you suddenly have a problem when it’s about BETTERING THE GODDAMN COUNTRY.

Sanders: “I’m a socialist”

people: “alright”

Sanders: “I want to pay for healthcare with taxes”

people: “haha gotcha what an ideological traitor!”

If you read this to the end, please spread this around. Or at the very least, maybe limit this down to the more important posts so people can actually read what matters about it. Because this crap needs to be straightened out.

“Yesterday I responded to a comment by @insanitybytes22, in which she suggested things wives and mothers can do to help men as an olive branch instead of blaming men for every marital breakdown. I appreciated her saying so.
But I remember my wife often saying how exhausting it was for her to have to tell me what to do all the time. It’s why the sexiest thing a man can say to his partner is “I got this,” and then take care of whatever needs taken care of.
I always reasoned: “If you just tell me what you want me to do, I’ll gladly do it.”
But she didn’t want to be my mother. She wanted to be my partner, and she wanted me to apply all of my intelligence and learning capabilities to the logistics of managing our lives and household.
She wanted me to figure out all of the things that need done, and devise my own method of task management.
I wish I could remember what seemed so unreasonable to me about that at the time.”

ididntchoosethebeardlife:

One of my biggest fears about this election is that all the millennials are gonna come out and vote for Bernie Sanders and forget to vote for anybody else. Every seat in the House of Representatives is up for reelection and a bunch of Senate seats are up as well. Most states do their governor and state legislature during mid-terms (which means we’re all gonna need to go out again in 2018), but a few are open in this cycle and people living in those states need to know about that too.

There are two things about American politics that nobody seems to know and everyone should: republicans only win when people don’t vote and local politics affect you at least as much as national level shit. Vote for your favorite Presidential candidate, but also vote for like, city council and state representative and stuff. It’s all important and if we as a generation want to make real change we need to flex our voting power at every level of government and show our country that we are a political force to be reckoned with. I want to see us out, in force, in every election until we’re all goddamned dead. Because that’s how shit gets done in a democracy.

friendly reminder that the whole “when you’re arrested you have one phone call” thing isn’t real it’s a thing that tv crime dramas made up

you have a constitutional right to an attorney and you can have as many phone calls, smoke signals, carrier pigeons, etc, as it takes to contact your attorney.

contacting anyone else (a partner, a parent, a babysitter, whatever) isn’t actually a right that can be denied to you, 

but it might be more trouble than it’s worth to ask cops for a phone for these purposes, 

so when your attorney shows up, you can use their phone to make those calls. there’s nothing that legally prevents you from doing so

ten-thousand-leaves:

Murphy’s law, applied to fanfics.

- The fic starts out great, nice style, language, captivating summary. It’s unfinished and has been abandoned since 2013.

- The fic is complete, nice style, language, tons of kudos speak for themselves. It’s about your NOTP.

- The fic is about your OTP,  it’s complete, it’s kinky as hell. The plot is absolutely dumbass.

- The plot sounds great, it’s about your OTP, it’s complete. The characters are horribly OOC.

 - Everything is perfect in this fic, starting from the first letter and ending with the last full stop. It’s exactly 800 words long.

- The fic’s word count is a six-figure number, it’s about your OTP, characters are compliant with your head-canon. It’s dull and boring as seven hells.

- The beginning is enthralling, everything’s great, the plot, the style, it’s long and it’s even about your OTP. It features something that makes you close the tab as soon as you open it, like father/daughter incest or mpreg or some other squicky thing. 

- Everything is perfect in this fic, the length, the characters, the language, the style, you forget you’re reading fanfic, thinking it’s a masterpiece of true literature, you cry tears of joy and write a huge review full of gushing love and then rush to the author’s profile to read every other thing they’ve written. It’s their only work.

Deadpool's Post-Credit Scene

violetkeratin:

Dear lovely people who made the Deadpool movie,

I am an usher at a movie theatre and have worked almost everyday since the movie came out. It has been crazy busy. I haven’t seen the movie (yet) but I have seen the post-credit scene. Many times.

Whoever thought of having Deadpool basically tell people to pick up their garbage is a fucking genius. Picking up the garbage is the most unnecessary, time-wasting and gross thing ever. Deadpool has been selling out, and yet pick-up has been the easiest I have ever seen for this type of crowd and its size.

Other movies, follow the example.
Deadpool, you are fucking awesome.

Sincerely,
An extatic usher

How do you explain Good Omens to someone in a compelling way without sounding like you’re off your metaphorical rocker?  I mean, usually I default to “JUST TRUST ME” or “IT’S NEIL GAIMAN AND SIR TERRY PRATCHETT” and depending on the person one of them usually works, but now I’m trying to convince a not-very-close friend who is uncultured and deprived and therefore unconvinced.  I considered the “Well, gay” angle but???  Not sure if that’s valid and also don’t want to force my ship onto this guy.  (I mean, I’m confident he’ll get there on his own, but still.)  I don’t talk to people enough to know what I’m doing here, I’m kind of inclined to be like “the Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles and an angel performs a miraculous bicycle healing and the car turns everything into Queen and it’s not really the demon’s fault that they lose the Antichrist it’s actually because the Satanic nuns need a better screening process.”

You know how everyone thinks James was as oblivious as Harry to everything? I’m so into this I love oblivious James that stumbles on wolfstar and is amazed and when did this happen???

But you know what? somewhere in the books i believe it’s said that Harry is a lot like Lily, personality wise. So can you imagine oblivious Lily?

She only notices James is mad about her when at the end of sixth year he shouts he loves her in a rage. 6 years of annoying the fuck out of her and her friends and she just thought he was an idiot but he was actually trying to get her attention (in the wrong way) so for the whole summer she thinks about it and decides to give him a chance and James’ like “Really, Lily you didn’t get the picture when I WROTE YOU BAD SONNETS?!” — “I thought you were trying to annoy me! or embarrass me!”

Doesn’t understand wolfstar is a thing (and tries to set them both up with some friends) until they have a row and Sirius is staying on their couch for the night and Lily’s like “What are they arguing about now?” and James just answers without thinking “Sirius thinks Remus’s sleeping with someone” and she’s “why would Sirius care about who Remus’s sleeping with” and James looks at Lily like he can’t believe she’s so oblivious and to the most obnoxious queer couple of London too. “They’ve been married for years!” he shouts and she would still be like “but why is HE on our couch if he owns the flat?”

Lily not realizing she’s pregnant until she’s like 4 months in because her period’s always been all over the place and she thinks the morning sickness is because she’s not a good cook and James is even worse and then she thinks it’s the flu and then the Potters die and she faints at the funeral because those two were the best in-laws ever and she loved them so much and she hasn’t eaten for the whole day and then she wakes up in Mungo’s with a very angry healer and 3 shell-shocked boys about to become father, godfather and weird uncle.

I love oblivious Lily so much omg

southerngamerguy:

sodomymcscurvylegs:

Story Time: in 2012, when I still lived in Florida, I used to work for a credit union, and I had the absolute worst manager and assistant manager. They were sloppy, lazy, and offloaded their work onto other people. No biggie; I’m grown and I can handle my job and not stress because I’m damned good at it. Problem: the manager and assistant manager, who happened to be best friends in real life, also happen to be very, very conservative older women. I’m talking like, hardcore conservative Christians, the kind who are not very good people and are very unlike Christ. I don’t make it a point to tell people I work with my business because when you work, you’re busy and you don’t want to burden other people, right? At least, I don’t. Subject of my love life comes up after a while of me staying in my lane, and I’m also not a liar, so I casually mention that I happen to be gay and I’m dating someone at the time.

The change in my managers was almost immediate. From that point on they tried their utmost to make my life miserable, but I wasn’t going to break. Fast forward about a month after this mess and one of the tellers, Tanika, and I have become really good friends, and she pulls me aside one Monday morning to tell me that she overheard the manager and assistant manager talking about firing me, and she didn’t want to get too involved, but she didn’t think it was fair so she wnated to give me a headsup. Here’s the best part: these asshats are SO lazy that they literally say - or so Tanika tells me- that they’ll wait for the end of the week to do it, because otherwise they would have no one to cover my Wednesday shift, and they’d have to sit on the teller line, and no siree Bob, they’re too good for that! Too important! Too. Fucking. Lazy.

Immediately I type up a two week notice at my station, print that shit out, and take it to that sloppy ass manager in her sloppy ass office. They have no receipts on me, but these people will find anything and use it to get rid of you if they can, and I’m not having a forcible termination on my record and dealing with how that will look to future employers. Keep in mind that I’m not supposed to know that they’re planning on firing me, and I’ve done my homework on company policy about two week notices (they had just changed it in January, and it was February). I give her the paper, sit in front of her, tell her some cock and bull story about needing more time for school. She looks upset, tells me to leave the letter, and go back to my station. I pull out a second copy of the letter and say: “Sure! But, first, I need your signature on this one, which is my copy of the two week notice.” Her face was a Goddamned mask at this point, but I could tell she was burning up inside. She’s trapped; she has to either sign it and pretend everything is fine, or she refuses and I go in on her for her “suspicious behavior” and call her higher ups. She signs my copy. I go back and finish my day.

Day ends and the assistant manager comes to me and tells me they have spoken to the president of the credit union and they have decided to terminate me anyway. Tells me I need to turn in my drawer and vault keys immediately and leave the premises. I refuse; “I’m not leaving until we count my drawer down together, I have a printed and signed copy of my balance, and you have signed paperwork confirming that I have given you all keys back.” She has no choice. I walk out with all necessary paperwork, get home, and immediately email the credit union president telling him what happened and how I think it’s utterly unprofessional for an employer to behave this way. He calls me the next day to my personal phone, and tells me the manager and assistant manager both told him I had quit on the spot and walked out without so much as a goodbye. I tell him I have a signed two week notice from the manager, because this sloppy ho can’t even keep own story together for five minutes. He tells me to photocopy it and email it to him. I do. Tells me he is going to have a discussion with the manager and call me back ASAP. Calls me back, apologizes profusely, and tells me that I shouldn’t have been treated as such, so he offers to pay me for the two weeks I had give notice for, ON TOP of an extra two weeks of compensation, and I didn’t even have to show up to the branch anymore. He was paying me a full month for no work to make up for the situation.

First paycheck comes in, and I put on my best outfit. Pick out the hottest shit in my closet that says: “I look incredible” but also “I have free time and you don’t” and “enjoy working here while I get paid while napping at the beach,” and I walk my happy little ass into that bank to pick up my paycheck like:

Happily greet the manager and assistant manager, who are both there like:

Say hello to my friend Tanika, who is at the teller line like:

Enjoying the fuck out of this show, right? Like, she can’t say it out loud, but she’s fucking living for this goddamned circus and it’s written all over her face!

I talk to her and loudly tell her how amazing it feels to have four weeks off with pay, and how polite and nice the bank president is. 

Then I walk my happy little ass out of the bank like:


But not before saying bye to the manager and assistant manager and reminding them that I’ll be back in two weeks to pick up my next check, “probably right before I head to Key Largo for the weekend.” 

…and that’s the story of how I once absolutely wrecked two people who thought they could use their positions of power to come for me unfairly, and a story I’ll be telling my grandchildren so they know, as grandpa knew on one February morning of 2012, that you take bullshit from absolutely no one.

I’m gonna make this into a fucking movie.

my favorite part of hamlet is at the beginning when they see the ghost of hamlet sr for the first time

and the guards are like “Horatio, you go talk to it! You went to college!”

and Horatio is like “Yeah! I did go to college! I will go talk to the ghost!”

like. where did horatio go to college. did he go to ghost college

YES, ACTUALLY YES HE FUCKING DID BC

(a) EVERY COLLEGE THEN WAS GHOST COLLEGE bc ghosts were widely believed to be Real™ n thus scholars learnt abt them. moreover, as everybody knows, ghosts only communicate in Latin; Latin is the scholastic language. Horatio is a scholar, thus both knows abt ghosts and knows Latin, so it is very reasonable to assume he will b able to ask this one what up (as obviously sth must b up 4 it 2b wandering around, why else wld it b here, gawd, this is like. the most basic of basic-level shit)

(B) WITTENBERG WHERE HORATIO STUDIES WAS LIKE. T H E MOST SPOOPY OF GHOST COLLEGES bc they were alllllll about theology n the supernatural n shit so SUPPOSING HORATIO WILL KNO HIS SHIT ABT GHOSTS IS IN FACT A THOROUGHLY SENSIBLE ASSUMPTION

this has been said before but i am fucking adding it again bc it HACKS ME TF OFF when ppl reblog the post w/o commentary as if OP jsut fucking checkmated Shakespeare when in fact all they managed to do was fail at the most basic historical contextualisation of this scene n make a fcuking fool of emselves lmao

but i said no bc by that point i was a smart, independent, and spiteful debate champion and too good for them so that same teacher talked the principal into letting him take over our team and kicked my sister and i (the president and vice president) out of it because he didn’t like us so then we became judges at the next competition they were going to and he was so pissed but tried to get us to cheat and let his (our) team win by default so we made sure that the kids he liked in the team that he had chosen to win and was doing all the work for lost and the kids who were still loyal to us got fair points and then i found out the teacher supported neo nazis and thats my story. the end

This is wild from start to finish. I love it.

Weird AU Prompts

the-average-procrastinator:

- “Yeah, your mirror is a doorway into my dimension and I’ve seen everything. Even that dance part for one” au

- “Sure, I’m an alien but I don’t know why you’d think I’d abduct people. But there’s a great eatery across the galaxy if you want to check it out” au

- “Listen, I am genetically modified and on the run and you will let me hide in your house” au

- “I was just taking a walk through the woods and I didn’t think Fae really existed, and I really don’t think I’ll accept any food from you” au

- “My dragon is acting sick and you specialize in dragon illnesses, please take a look at it. Wait, why are you laughing” au

- “Buddy, we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, I specialize in botany in unfavorable terrain and I just saw you make a sword out of PVC pipe and string; we’re definitely teaming up” au

- “As a wielder of dark magic I definitely plan on taking over the world once I trick you into releasing me from my prison, but crap, I think I might like you more than I meant to” au

- “Ok, so you panicked and kissed the human so he wouldn’t drown, but we can’t keep him and he can’t leave if he knows about us merpeople, so what are we going to do” au

- “Look, I honestly didn’t mean to run into any awkward werewolves on my hike and why would I tell anyone about it, what do you mean ‘take me to your leader’ are you serious. How cliché can you be” au

- “I’m a superhero and you’re the villain, but I saw you visiting kids at the children’s hospital and letting them act like they defeated you and now it’s really hard to punch you in the face” au

I’m about 85% sure that you can describe at least one of my stupid baby almost-novels from years back as “I am genetically modified and on the run and you WILL let me hide in your house.”  No, wait, I lied, you could probably stretch that to one of my completed novels, too, if you assume that the hiding is temporary and ends with kidnapping.

So I’ve been thinking about why I like Magnus Bane so much and I came to realize that it’s because Magnus Bane has achieved everything I want to achieve as a bisexual person:

  • Comfortable & open about his bisexuality
  • Notorious
  • Flirts adorably (if crudely)
  • Makes cute people fluster
  • Masks good heart with wit & sarcasm
  • Falls in love despite heartbreak he’s experienced before
  • Protects others
  • Does the right thing
  • Killer eye-liner game
  • Great hair
  • Graceful
  • Magical powers
  • Immortality

DEADPOOL SPOILERS!!1!

chatterboxrose:

Okay let’s discuss this: Because I feel like the “Angelina Jolie paradox” from Scott Westerfeld’s book “Afterworlds” is law. If you don’t know much about it here is a word for word passage from the book:

“You know when you’re watching a movie starring Angelina Jolie? And the character she’s playing looks just like Angelina Jolie, right? … she’s a regular person in that world not a movie star. But the other characters never mention that she looks exactly like Angelina Jolie.”

“Because that would mess up the movie,” Carla said.

“Exactly. So when you cast Angelina Jolie in a film, you’re creating an alternate universe in which the actress Angelina Jolie does not exist.“

And it makes sense. Think about other movies: I think if someone was looking like George Clooney, people in that movie would notice, right? So if you cast an actor in your film, that actor doesn’t exist in that movie or TV universe anymore - in a weird, weird way. 

But like, Deadpool completely DESTROYS THIS. Wade literally says the name “Ryan Reynolds” and references movies he’s been in and has a magazine cover with HIM ON IT? Like, it’s absolutely taking this paradox and throwing it out the window and it’s half beautiful half confusing, because has Wade spent his whole life being told “hey so you look like that Ryan Reynolds guy.” 

Anyway. That’s just my little commentary on this fantastic movie. Proceed.

[Nevada] Bernie Sanders needs roughly 1,500 new voters to win

bonehandledknife:

Yes. You read that right. Someone did the math and because of a tight race and historically low turnout, 1500 people who will caucus on Saturday who ordinarily wouldn’t participate in primaries what it takes for Sanders to win Nevada

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/46nd9s/we_calculated_that_bernie_needs_just_1498/

We calculated that Bernie needs just 1,498 supporters who ordinarily wouldn’t vote to turnout and he’ll probably take Nevada. I have 450 “Friends of Friends who Like Bernie and live in Nevada” We built an app to make it possible for redditors to easily get 1,500 new caucusers tonight. 

The app, called Bernie Takes It, allows you to pledge (to vote, or convince x people to vote). It counts all the pledges and only asks you to follow through once the threshold is met (in this case 1500 votes).

Our math is linked to at the bottom of the app.

Please take two minutes to pledge, then start Facebanking (in this case we’re actually asking people to start now even though the threshold hasn’t been reached yet, just because we finally finished the software only today;)

I believe Facebanking* is very high bang for your volunteering buck today. Using myself as an example, I have 450 “Friends of Friends who Like Bernie and live in Nevada” (FOFWLBALIN!). I can PM these people individually, telling them that I’m part of a commitment to get the 1,500 votes Bernie needs to win and requesting their promise to vote tomorrow.

  • Try the FB search
  • Send a little message like this to every FOF who pops up.
  • Pledge at Bernie Takes Nevada

You will not have another opportunity this year for your volunteer efforts to go as far as they will in Nevada today!!

For two reasons.

  1. With low voter turnout, a little effort goes way farther. Bernie only needs about 1,500 extra votes to virtually guarantee victory in Nevada (whereas if Texas were on Saturday, he’d need about 50,000 extra votes to probably win).
  2. A win now changes hundreds of thousands of minds going into Super Tuesday. Do you know how much phonebanking it would take to change hundreds of thousands of minds? More than we have!

The link to give anyone wanting more info about when/where/how to caucus: https://vote.berniesanders.com/nv

Supposedly works better than the state party alternatives.

*thanks to /u/rucinskic for devising the search string methodology that works.

There are examples of things you can do to message in the reddit thread.

Key information: https://vote.berniesanders.com/nv

WHY IT MATTERS IF BERNIE WINS NEVADA.

Up until the Iowa caucus tie on February 1, the media, pundits and Democratic Party establishment had dismissed the Sanders campaign. Even though (or, because) he’s a champion for policies that the vast majority of Americans support, he’s been called radical, fringe and unelectable.

Despite these odds, he has more volunteers than any campaign and is breaking all kinds of fundraising records – building on regular-folks-size donations of less than $30. With his Iowa tie and New Hampshire dominance among nearly every demographic, Bernie has come from way behind to be a true contender. The race is on, and every delegate in every state is now crucial to momentum and the nomination.


YOU CAN START FACEBANKING RIGHT NOW!

But how can you help him win a state if you don’t live there? Our brand new Facebanking tool enables you to find your friends’ friends who live in Nevada and Like Bernie. Your job is simply to message them and share the importance of putting your vote where your Like is.

Try the Facebank search now.

Sample message: “Hey Bernie-lovin’ friend of friend, did you know that Mr. Sanders only needs 1,500 extra votes to take Nevada tomorrow? We’re collecting pledges from people who are inspired to caucus when they see that their vote ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Can you caucus tomorrow at 11am and let me know that you’re going to do it so I can change our tally to 1,499?”

A woman was left gobsmacked when she learned the gold ring she stumbled across in a field was 2,000 years old.

#THERE ARE LITERALLY THREE MOVIES AND A HUGE-ASS BOOK EXPLAINING WHY KEEPING IT IS A BAD IDEA

“…it felt like a gift from the underworld,” Lundin told The Local. “It was my magnificent ring. I didn’t want to give it up.”

O_O

This is so old but it’s so funny I’m sorry.

So I went to see deadpool and sitting next to me there were two guys complaining about how many girls there were, all fake geek girls watching the movie just because Ryan Reynolds is hot.
I mean, yeah, he’s hot.
Anyway, at the end of the movie these two guys stand and leave because “there are just the credits, anyway”.
I mean, even my mother knows that you need to wait until the end of every marvel movie.
But sure, fake geek girls.

what the fuck is with men and how they write women taking showers honestly. like all of that back-arching mouth-half-open luxoriously-running-fingers-through-hair shit. straight dudes thinkin girls are like damn-near climax from just being naked, whats w/ that

from now on the only female shower scenes ill accept involve either; a). sitting in a ball on the shower floor or b). standing completely still while staring into the abyss absentmindedly and scratching your ass. anything else gets a 0 and a “see me after class”
