Gandalf even actually saved people from evil. Literally.

You totally can overdose on the bible, the condition is called “Christianity”.

Generally, though, it doesn’t kill the user. It turns the addict into a carrier for the disorder and engineers the oppression and death of both other addicts and non-addicted people. It particularly harms women, the LGBT community, the intelligent, the poor, the disabled, and people of color.

Generally, societies that do not labor under the addiction to Christianity are more equal, more accessible, and healthier.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali • Discussing the diet he’s currently on — he’s eating like he’s on food stamps (an average of $1.48 per meal, or $31 per week) in protest of potential cuts to the federal food stamps program. His family was nice enough to join him in what he calls a conversation starter about being hungry in the U.S. Unlike most people on food stamps, he knows ways to make the best of a bad situation, smartly sticking to foods like lentils, apples, rice, beans, peanut butter and jelly. But the problem is, eating good on a diet like this is tough, so many do not. Think his family’s experiment will be effective? (via shortformblog)

I think this is the key argument for those who think that poor people could eat better if they just tried harder. This guy prepares food for a living and he still cannot manage to do this without feeling like he’s going hungry. This is a problem.

Why aren’t we talking about this more?

Respect, Mr. Batali. Respect.

Never fuck a capitalist. They refuse condoms because they don’t like protection for the workers.

never go down on a capitalist, they’ll let you do all the work and then insist they came solely through their own hard work & self-determination.

no he can’t lift it BUT in ultimate universe Avengers magneto did cause Thor’s hammer to get heavier

That’s not the question though, Kam.

Nope. “Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.”

Aside from several Asgardians, Captain America, and Beta Ray Bill, only a few people have been deemed worthy.

To answer the underlying question - Thor’s hammer is not magnetic. Magneto’s power doesn’t work on it.

#STEAMPUNK AND #VICTORIANA FANS
As well as anyone who has a passing interest in history.

I’m putting together a list of people for a Victoriana/Steampunk superhero group lead by Ada Lovelace and including Marie Curie. I need help with more ideas for super-scientists or heroes in general as well as suggestions for how they fight the forces of evil.

Medieval Illuminated Manuscript Cookies by Anniina

Taking historiated initials from several medieval manuscripts, Anniina printed them out onto edible paper with edible ink, before affixing them to square cookies for historical viewing and nomming pleasure.

Reblogged partially because I love any post that deserves both the “history” and “om nom nom” tags.

Sharing the nerd love is, to me, the single best part of being a geek.
