Blackfish - Trailer

Beyond the lies, beneath the deception, the truth will surface.

Magnolia Pictures has debuted the trailer for the chilling Sundance documentary Blackfish, directed Gabriela Cowperthwaite, about orcas in captivity.

Holy shit.

OKAY, WE NEED TO REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS. EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT AN ANIMAL PERSON, YOUR FOLLOWERS NEED TO SEE THIS. ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEIGHT OF VACATION SEASON. DO NOT SUPPORT SEA PARKS WITH CAPTIVE WHALES. IT’S NOT ENVIRONMENTAL PROPAGANDA (I can’t believe I even used those words) IT’S A REAL ISSUE AND IT’S NOT A MATTER OF PROOF, IT’S A MATTER OF COVERING IT UP AND IGNORING IT!

its not even about being an animal person, ITS ABOUT BEING A FUCKING HUMAN WITH SOME BASIC RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS

This is a really important thing to share, so let me TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO FURTHER EMPHASIZE ITS IMPORTANCE, OK?

ME BEING A SARCASTIC ASSHOLE ASIDE, THE INCREDIBLY SMALL ROLE OF SEA PARKS AS AN EDUCATIONAL VESSEL ABOUT SEA LIFE IS VASTLY OVERSHADOWED BY ITS ENTERTAINMENT-AT-ANY-COST OBJECTIVE AND THAT AIN’T COOL BRO.

thesmithian:

…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

I read today that there is a Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Seattle. I don’t give a shit if your GLBT or whatever you wanna be, but if you’re fighting for equality then why would you make a special interest group for specific types of people? Singling out types of people is exclusive, whether it’s yourself or someone else. Not even acknowledging a category between sexuality, race or belief differences is what I consider to be equality, none of this special group shit.

The 21-year-old Muslim woman, who was four months pregnant, was physically attacked by two men. The attackers first tried taking her headscarf off and later cut off her hair and tore part of her clothing. After she screamed out that she was pregnant, one of the attackers started kicking her in the stomach.

But Europe is so tolerant, though.

Absolutely disgusting.

Europe is the absolute worst.

I wouldn’t say that Europe is the absolute worst based on one article. I’ve seen a lot worse from America.

For Father’s Day, I gave my dad
a silver pocketknife engraved with
the Latin for “like father, like son.”
He cut himself opening it
trying to get a look, and what seemed
sentimental turned out to be
nothing less than the truth.

This felt relevant.

Who sees something attributed to William Shakespeare that begins with “I always feel happy, You know why?” and doesn’t doubt it right away?

sci-fact:

It is frequently pointed out that the magnetic north pole lies slightly outside the geographic North Pole. This is not technically correct. In fact, the opposite is true. The Earth’s magnetic south pole lies just outside the geographic North Pole. In geography, North is defined by the direction that attracts the north end of a compass, but in physics, the north end of any magnet will always be pulled toward the southern direction of an external magnetic field. What this means is that the magnetic pole that lies in what we call the Northern Hemisphere is actually a magnetic south pole. In precise scientific terms, the “north magnetic pole” and the “magnetic north pole” are exact opposites. Thankfully, these needlessly confusing semantics are usually ignored in favor of the colloquial understanding.

astrodidact:

If you ever want to be reminded of the unbelievably vast distances between our solar system and others, consider this; the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri, is 25 trillion miles away. That equates to 104.5 million trips to the moon. And I particularly like this one;

The Voyager 1 spacecraft is 18.5 billion miles away from Earth and has been flying at ~38,000 mph for the last 36 years. At that pace, and if Voyager 1 were to be aimed at Proxima Centauri, it would take something like 48,500 years to get there at that speed.

That’s some crazy shit. That is the distance to the nearest star. Just one star out of about 400 billion others of course.

And this is all just in our own galaxy; one of about 170 billion others, many having trillions and trillions of stars, not just billions.

This realization for me is utterly baffling. It’s like…nothing else even matters.
