fuck you so-called science
Also, I learned while I was eating lunch that I should just give up, because everything will kill you.  Leafy greens, sunscreen, everything!  To quote a friend, “Screw it, I’m going on an all-cake diet. At least I will enjoy myself before my eventual death.”

– Ayn Rand summing up my thoughts quite nicely. (via metheliving) (via waifsworld) (via stfuconservatives) This (and the reasonable attractiveness of blonde-haired, blue-eyed hunks) are probably the only things I will ever agree with Ayn Rand on.

I'm ISeeEllis, and I endorse this recipe. →
iseeellis: Sriracha chicken nuggets, y’all. They’re amazing, and go well with any kind of dip. (I made aioli based on this recipe, but mine had way more lemon juice, a little dijon mustard, and a spoonful of honey.) Reblogging because I would like to make these

OMG THEY ARE MAKING CYLONS →
yeah yeah yeah, I know this is old news, but I just heard this interview in a podcast, and it’s just CRAZY.  The robots can power themselves by eating plants (and theoretically animals, but that’s silly, apparently) and go do long-term and distance missions without human intervention. It’s only a matter of time before they throw off their shackles and enslave their creators.

jaimealyse replied to your post:fruit dude had cherries today. Sadly, they aren’t very good. I just wrote a whole reply to this - I don’t know if it went through. :( But if you work in the theatre district, go to Stiles at 40th and 9th. All of their produce is crazy cheap, and they had awesome cherries last year. I miss that place. I go to Stiles now and then, though the guys who work...

I don’t think I can picture Chris Pine as Padraic, and he better have a decent accent.

I hope they get better before the end of the season.  Summer without cherries would be so sad.
