More favourite tropes:

  • Generally incompetent character revealed to be incredibly skilled at one very specific thing
  • Supernatural entity that clearly has no need for money inexplicably owns and operates some sort of relatively mundane business
  • Device or magic spell with narrow and impractical function coincidentally turns out to be exactly what’s needed
  • Terrifying monster actually wants something totally innocuous

  • Hilariously half-assed impersonation or disguise succeeds through inattention of intended victim
  • World-shaking threat averted via booze

This is a horrendously obese animal that should not be kept indoors, nor should i be interacting with a house cat. That is a raccoon, they are not domesticated and they are very bad pets. That one is probably well on its way to dying an early death from being fed improperly.

the lord of the rings gets a lot funnier when you realise that merry and pippin were stoned out of their minds a good half of the time

imagine you and your best friend both have the munchies so you decide to
raid the local farmer’s field when you literally run into your two of
your smoking buddies from the shire and they tell you they’re hiking to
bree to meet gandalf, who you know has some top quality hash stashed on
his person at all times, so you agree to go with them and somehow end up
on a thousand-mile hike to destroy a piece of evil jewellery in a
volcano. congratulations. you’re merry and pippin now.

Owls confirmed to be the creepiest birds ever. LOOK AT THE FUCKING THINGS. If you fail to notice the one on the left fucking SWALLOWING a rat, then you have the dude singing some satanic chant or something next to him, and then you have those two other fucking psychos synchronized to make you feel creeped the fuck out with their soulless dance of FUCKING DOOM.

I really am tempted to reblog this every time it’s on my dash. That description is one of the best things on the internet.

Yeahhhh, I want this on my blog again.

OMG MY FAVORITE TUMBLR POST EVER IT’S FINALLY BACK YAY!

Here, have another of my all-time favorite Tumblr posts. 

We were just discussing this again and I had to reblog it again because IT IS MY FAVORITE

I’m permanently traumatized that you introduced me to this over lunch, EGT.

There’s a gif out there of some people reenacting this that makes me laugh til I puke every damn time.

The FBI Faked an Entire Field of Forensic Science

“‘Of 28 examiners with the FBI Laboratory’s microscopic hair comparison unit, 26 overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the 268 trials reviewed so far.’ The shameful, horrifying errors were uncovered in a massive, three-year review by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Innocence Project. Following revelations published in recent years, the two groups are helping the government with the country’s largest ever post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence.

Chillingly, as the Post continues, ‘the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death.’ Of these defendants, 14 have already been executed or died in prison.”

Let this sink in for a minute.

Honestly, people interested in this sort of thing should check out the 2016 PCAST report on criminal forensics (summarized in part here ) Basically, there is no peer reviewed scientific evidence for most of forensic criminology. Really only single sample DNA tests and whole undistorted fingerprint analysis, neither of which is commonly used in the courtroom, are scientifically grounded at all.

Of course, both the FBI and the DOJ refuse to change their unscientific methods, surprising absolutely no one, and both PCAST itself, as well as the scientific organization founded from their first report are now either dismantled or unused by the new “law and order” administration

I watched a 60 minutes episode on the unreliability of finger prints. They found two men with the same prints.
