GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the MOST dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with OVER 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed STRONG antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
Saw it in a theatre when it was 1st released and SO many times since then, including on the Museum of Pop Culture's SkyChurch screen
It is a GLORIOUS movie; you should watch it RIGHT NOW

Every level of government is jumping through increasingly complicated and ridiculous hoops to try to keep the for-profit housing industry going instead of just acknowledging it's not viable. We need public housing if we want affordable housing. That's just how it is now. But no one ever admits it.

Call me crazy, but maybe society shouldn't continually reward the least scrupled amongst us with money, power and influence simply because they're unafraid to be terrible.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
