Does anybody else feel like the ACTA act was being pushed past us while SOPA/PIPA was going on?

Stop%20the%20biggest%20threat%20to%20Internet%20freedom
A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

Oh, this oil bath is going to feel sooooo good!

Sometimes the Internet gives us nice thiings.

Indeed it does…

Before making it big with “Akira” in ‘82, Katsuhiro Otomo drew a shoujo manga in ‘79.

(It’s called “Abunai! Seito Kaichou,” or “Look out, Student Council President!”)

Gotta love those big Otomo foreheads! Man, I’d love to read this!

This is 100%, pure, awesomemite. 
ghostprince:

I drew fanart! And by fanart, I mean I just toke Vertical Inc’s cover of the first Princess Knight volume and drew it in my ‘style’ even though it came out pretty off from the original ahahahahhhhafhpfpfptikfppfpftPFPPPFPTPTPTAHAcreyH
Also, the ruffles!!!! were pretty hard to draw!!!! sheesh!!!!

When this thing exploded our solar system was still 4.4 billion years from forming. 
That’s 4,400,000,000 in number of years.
That’s 1,642,500,000,000 days in numbers.
That’s 3.94200 × 1013 hours in numbers. 
Still think we’re the most important thing in the universe?

Hubble breaks new ground with distant supernova discovery
The Hubble Space Telescope has detected a distant Type Ia supernova, the farthest stellar explosion that can be used to measure the expansion rate of the universe. The supernova is the remnant of a star that exploded 9 billion years ago. The sighting is the first finding of an ambitious survey that will help astronomers place better constraints on the nature of dark energy.
The object, nicknamed SN Primo, belongs to a special class called Type Ia supernovae, which most likely arise when white dwarf stars — the burned-out cores of normal stars — siphon too much material from their companion stars and explode. These supernovae are bright beacons used as distance markers for studying the expansion rate of the universe.
SN Primo is the farthest Type Ia supernova whose distance has been confirmed through spectroscopic observations. The supernova was discovered as part of a three-year Hubble program to survey faraway Type Ia supernovae, enabling searches for this special class of stellar explosion at greater distances than previously possible.
The remote supernovae will help astronomers determine whether the exploding stars remain dependable distance markers across vast distances of space in an epoch when the cosmos was only one-third its current age of 13.7 billion years. Called the CANDELS+CLASH Supernova Project, the census uses the sharpness and versatility of Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) to look in regions targeted by two large Hubble programs: the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) and the Cluster Lensing and Supernova Survey with Hubble (CLASH).
Above: The top image shows part of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field in visible and near-infrared light. The white box pinpoints the area where the supernova is later seen. The image at bottom left is a close-up of the field without the supernova. A new bright object, identified as the supernova, appears in the image at bottom right.
