Imagine Natasha and Pepper get all the guys together and convince them to make a pin-up calendar for charity.
Steve is the immediate and only choice for July.
Sam Wilson volunteers before all the Avengers even find out about it.
Tony tries to convince them that he should be all 12 months; they let him have December.
When they don’t let him have every month, Tony insists Rhodey needs to be in it somewhere then; he manages to bribe him into it.
Bruce politely declines involvement. Somehow the Hulk ends up on the spread for March.
Clint thinks it’s a nude calendar and shows up with nothing but a bow and quiver. They let him go through with it under the condition that he’s not allowed to go full frontal. — Hawkeye’s majestic buttocks graces the page for May.
Not really knowing what this strange Midgardian custom is, Thor hears about Clint’s bold photo and insists on posing with nothing but Mjolnir. (He makes sure it’s well placed.) (November is a very popular month that year).
Not to be outdone by an archer and a demigod, Tony has his photo redone wearing exactly three pieces of the Iron Man suit. He proclaims there’s nothing half the women of America haven’t seen already.
After that, Tony immediately insists that Steve needs to pose with nothing but the shield. Everyone is astonished when he thinks on it for less than a minute before agreeing. “It’s for charity, right?”
Once Captain America goes for it, no one else can bring themselves to do anything less.
By the end, the entire calendar is full of beautifully photographed artistic nudes of male superheroes.
They make over $2 billion for a collection of their favorite charities.

Man of the moment Keanu Reeves has shown his generosity by giving away £50 million of his earnings from the Matrix sequels. The 38-year-old decided to hand over the money to the unsung heroes of the sci-fi blockbusters - the costume and special effects teams.
*fistbump*
Confirmed. He’s also dumped millions into cancer research. I really do love Keanu Reeves a lot.
Keanu Reeves is like the nicest person. He still lives in an apartment/flat and he gives most of his money away to charities and people who need it. He even invites some paparazzi people to sit down and eat with him when he’s at a coffee shop or restaurant. He’s such a nice person.
When I was working on the UWS, one of my delivery guys accidentally backed his scooter into a parked car in front of the restaurant. I went out to help, since the driver didn’t speak much English, and it turned out the car belonged to Keanu Reeves. He helped us pick the scooter up, and when I asked if we could exchange insurance information (because the front of the car was pretty banged up), he kept telling us not to worry about it and put his hand on the driver’s shoulder and said “I just want to make sure you’re okay, man. Are you okay?” And he was so sincere about it and so kind that I decided in that moment I would always defend Keanu Reeves at all costs. He is an excellent man.
NASA scientists have reported that they’ve successfully tested an engine called the electromagnetic propulsion drive, or the EM Drive, in a vacuum that replicates space. The EM Drive experimental system could take humans to Mars in just 70 days without the need for rocket fuel, and it’s no exaggeration to say that this could change everything.
But before we get too excited (who are we kidding, we’re already freaking out), it’s important to note that these results haven’t been replicated or verified by peer review, so there’s a chance there’s been some kind of error. But so far, despite a thorough attempt to poke holes in the results, the engine seems to hold up.
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.
ALSO. The generally used cut-off for ‘middle class’ in political debates is a person making $250,000 a year. Are any of you even fucking CLOSE to that? ‘Cause I kind of doubt it. By that definition someone can ‘raise taxes on the middle class’ and still not raise the taxes of 99% of the people I know. So when someone mentions ‘middle class’, you damn well need to ask what numbers they’re using. It’s totally possible that they’re not talking about and yours at all. The tax code certainly makes a distinction between those of us making under $50k and those making over $200k, and so would Sanders’ plan!
I live in Australia and I had to have a brain tumor removed a few weeks ago and I know for a fact, because of the research I did prior to my surgery, that if I lived in a country without significantly subsidised health care I would not even know I was sick, because American doctors do not recommend an MRI for people presenting with my symptoms – because of the cost.
I would literally be fucking dying if not for government run health care. Everyone against it can shut the fuck up forever.
slightly higher taxes so everyone–literally everyone–can access higher education and healthcare??? i don’t understand why or HOW people are angry about this
Oh look it’s communismkills being wrong again like in almost every post they’ve ever written
tl; dr: “Increasing tax on the middle class–which most people are not part of–to save money for everybody.”
don’t forget to register to vote before February. millenials are the largest age group rn but we’re the smallest group to actually vote. ik you think your vote doesn’t matter, but it really does esp when you add all of us up. voting is super important, especially if you don’t want a republican run congress. you might not want to do jury duty if you register, but voting is sooo important. pls register to vote. it’s your right to vote, and honestly, if you don’t vote, then you have no right to complain about politics/who’s president bc you did nothing to change it (as long as you’re 18+ by the deadline)
Phalanx warfare often resulted in the two opposing ranks each veering off towards their respective left as each soldier tried to huddle under their neighbour’s shield, with the result that if the officers weren’t careful they could charge and completely miss the enemy because they’d huddled off in different directions.
Among other things, Caesar Augustus’s sumptuary laws outlawed end tables. Apparently having things in easy reach when you were sitting down was too luxurious.
The Catalogue of Ships in Book 2 of the Iliad mentions a delegation from Athens, even though Athens hadn’t been founded at the time the sack of Troy would have taken place. This surely has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Athens was where the Iliad was first written down.
Herodotus is sometimes frighteningly accurate for a man whose approach to documenting history was to ask as many blokes in as many pubs as possible about what had happened and then write down the consensus. Only sometimes, though.
The first part of initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries involved carrying a live piglet down to the sea and bathing with it. Piglet sales spiked in Athens every year because of this, and the city occasionally suffered a piglet shortage.
(It is unknown whether or not participants were allowed to stun their piglets for easier transport.)
