watching my dash gradually fall into a star trek spiral of doom is a beautiful thing to witness, i have to say

even people who aren’t trek fans are succumbing

it’s like a black hole of emotions and pain

If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

The 2012–13 TV Season in One Depressing Chart | Vulture

Overall summation of how badly the broadcast networks are bleeding viewers.

Numbers don’t lie. And this is why Carver and Singer are both the golden boys with the blank check to do whatever they think is going to be good for the show with the CW’s blessing…and why they are going to have to pull something HUGE to meet or exceed this ratings jump with S9.

shortformblog:

Abstinence-only education is now illegal in Illinois. A bill passed two days ago by the state senate will require that schools with sex education classes include units on birth control. Schools can opt out of sex education altogether if they so desire (as they can now), and they’ll still have to teach that abstinence is the only absolute, surefire way to prevent pregnancy and STIs, but now they’ll have to provide information on contraceptives as well. The governor is expected to sign the bill. source
