Are you still planning on doing a liveblog of the Hobbit?

Yep! I’ll do the Hobbit (the Bass/Rankin version) and then all three LotR films once I’m done LotR. So ALL TOLKIEN ALL THE TIME.

Mark, do you rage when you see people worshipping Ramsay Snow? And pairing him with other characters? And drawing/dream-casting him as an attractive hunk/sex god? Because I do. I really do.

You know, aside from one Ramsay/Reek image that creeped me out forever, all the ASOIAF fans I follow are sensible people who will never do this shit ever. So I am blessed to not have to deal with the phenomenon. 

I FOUND ICE CUBES ‘GOOD DAY’

This is the best post in the history of the internet. This is a non-negotiable fact. Reblog this post and spread the word. 

Utterly amazing. 

That’s it, pack up and go home everyone.

The internet’s done. You can’t get better than figuring out Ice Cube’s Good Day.

incredibly relevant

for real this is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen on the Internet. 

this person needs a goddamn medal

Are you ever going to tour Europe? I'll totally come hang out if you decide this, I'll just quietly wait for you to decide.

Yep! Mark Does Stuff in Europe will 100% happen in 2012 It’ll probably be after I do most of the US and Canada!

jw have you confirmed a venue for your dc date? i would really like to go but i need a little more information to plan off of!

I just emailed my contact to find out if it’s booked for sure! Either way, it’ll be on a Metro line or walking distance from one, and even if you can’t make the official event, I will be having hangouts all day while I am a tourist and eat delicious food. I’ll include all the email on the Facebook page!

Tumblr, I am going on tour. Come hang out!

In an effort to promote my Mark Does Stuff Internet empire and the oncoming release of the first Mark Reads Harry Potter ebook (LIKE TWO DAYS OH MY GOD), I am going on the road in February to host a series of meet-ups and live readings of various things I’ve done on my sites!

I run Mark Reads and Mark Watches, where I pedantically write about the experience of discovering a new book or television show, one chapter/episode per day. I’ve gotten to the point where I have nearly half a million regular readers (!!!!!!!!) and I’m not even going to get into how many there are who only stop by a few times. Right now, I’m slogging my way through The Lord of the Rings for the first time and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. NO SPOILERS I KNOW NOTHING OH MY GOD

Anyway! You don’t have to follow me to come hang out, and there are tons of you who I’d like to meet. This whole tour is very D.I.Y. and if it’s successful, I’ll book a second and third leg across the US to hit the south, the midwest, and all along the western side of this fine nation, and then possibly head across the Atlantic to do a few dates. 

ANYWAY GETTING TO THE POINT. Here is the master post with all ten dates on the Intensity in Ten Cities Tour. Each date clicks off to a Facebook event; please RSVP if you are coming so I know how many people to account for! If you don’t have a FB, just post a comment on that page so I know. 

Here’s the list of dates:

2/18: Pittsburgh, PA – Literazzi Event, Eljays
2/19: Cleveland, OH – Still need venue!
2/20: Detroit, MI – Still need venue!
2/21: Toronto, ON – Lunik Co-Op Cafe, Glendon College, York University. 4-8pm!
2/23: Montreal, QB – Second Cup, 800 Place Victoria, H4Z 1A1
2/24: Boston, MA – Quincy Market, downtown Boston
2/25: New York City, NY – Venue booked, details soon. 
2/27: Philadelphia, PA – The Last Drop 
2/28: Washington, D.C. – Booking possible Harry Potter/Nerdfighter event.

2/29: Chicago, IL – Still need venue!

I would love to meet you and hang out! Pass this along to get the word out, and OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME

Reblogging myself to remind my followers that I’m going on tour, I need only three venues left to book, and I will have BOOKS and SHIRTS to sell. You don’t need to follow Mark Reads or Mark Watches to come. IF YOU JUST WANT TO HANG OUT THIS IS TOTALLY OKAY! Come out! It’ll be amazing!

“I’ve been online and looked at all the theories and there’s one clue that everyone’s missed. It’s something that Sherlock did that was very out of character, but which nobody has picked up on.” - Steven Moffat


Sherlock has his phone (looks to me like that at least) in his hands there, hiding it cleverly in his coat sleeve most of the times.

Why? That leads to my idea related to quote above from Steven Moffat.

I am referring to the conversation between Sherlock and Jim on the roof. Sherlock is doing something out of character there: He’s asking questions, he seems confused. But only that much to not make Jim suspicious.


Sherlock: But the rhythm …

Jim: Partita no. 1, thank you, Johann Sebastian Bach

Sherlock: But then how did you …?


And then Jim explains his entire plan how he broke in several important buildings at once. It’s not the only time in that conversation where Sherlock acts like the “dumber one” of both, of course not too bluntly so Jim doesn’t realize what’s going on.

Why does Sherlock act like he’s lost and hasn’t figured out Jim’s entire plan? So he can record what Jim is saying (in sense of a confession) on his phone, which he has in his hand/coat sleeve.

When you watch the scene again, Sherlock steps to the edge of the roof, till to that point he was acting. Then he starts laughing, cause he feels like he has won. The most important parts he probably has recorded. So he steps back down again. Now he’s back to his “normal self”. I feel like you can see it in his attitude even (comparing 2nd screenshot with 3rd)

Later, when he’s on the phone with John, Sherlock says: “This is my note.”

Before he jumps of the building, he throws the phone away, to leave it on the roof.


Hmm, these are my thoughts to the scene so far.

EVERYONE READ THIS THIS IS AMAZING AND SO PERFECT.

READ

JUST READ IT OKAY?

… And a while ago I had the idea that the phone held more information and could possibly be the actual ‘note’ Sherlock was referring to… now an actual theory came up. OwO

oh this is just fucking spectacular.

it frustrates me how awareness of vitally important disability issues, concepts and human rights violations is so unlikely to spread beyond the disability community

like, it’s gr8 that tumblr is there to defend me if someone says ‘oh my god, I’m so OCD!’ in my presence— but you know, that’s a minor annoyance. even last semester, when my lab instructor repeatedly said ‘don’t do that, that’s just retarded’ in reference to various mistakes that I myself was liable to make— okay, I admit it contributed to me skipping lab several times and instead cowering miserably in the student lounge, but I still don’t need the entire nation jumping on it.

but if in future I am consistently and arbitrarily denied employment because I flapped my hands and used the wrong tone of voice in an interview— well, that’s discrimination. and I’m already going forward in life with the knowledge that I MAY NEVER GET A JOB.

and the kind of pervasive mistreatment that occurs invisibly in institutions but also permeates the culture at large, that robs humans of their dignity and autonomy, that infantilizes and degrades every single day: nobody’s talking about that. except us.

i mean i’m not an activist i am shit at anything remotely socially conscious but idgi what is this lip service even about if no one pays attention to cases of serious bigotry and abuse

i mean gr8 all i see is a lot of people talking amongst themselves about how we can’t call people stupid and crazy without regard to WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ACTUAL STUPID AND CRAZY PEOPLE (LIKE ME AND MY FRIENDS)

Ron Paul’s “South Was Right” Civil War Speech With Confederate Flag

20.01.2012 - Ron Paul has made no secret the fact that he thought that the South was right in the Civil War. Here he is giving a speech in front of a giant Confederate Flag about why he believes the North was wrong in the Civil War and why the South was right.

Ron Paul is a neo-Confederate, and proud member of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, which has been labeled as a neo-Confederate organization. In the video he claims that the North should have paid to buy slaves from southern slave owners to avoid the war, rather than the South renouncing slavery. Paul also fails to bring up the fact that it was the South that started the war by attacking the North in 1861.

Ron Paul was also was the only member of congress to vote against honoring the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 on its 40th anniversary in 2004. Paul would also claim that he wouldn’t have voted for it at the time, putting him on the side of the racists in both the fight against slavery and the fight against Jim Crow segregation, the two defining struggles of Black people in America.

Several Ron Paul supporters have asked that the video be taken down, from the pro-Confederate channel, Patriot Review but Patriot Review believes that the video could help Paul win South Carolina. If they do take it down,  Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has downloaded a copy of the video.

a portrait of lunacy 

Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m regretting those two lunch sundaes, because I’m starting to feel them come back up.

I couldn’t get through this, and I doubt my followers will be able to, but it’s important that everyone sees it.

He is.  A racist.  Homophobic.  Sack.  Of.  Dicks.

People will still support him because “this was s long ago” and “he wants to legalize drugs”. Some people refuse to see the truth.

i just need people to note that this happened on 

JANUARY 20, 2012

This is not some skeleton from his past. This is 6 days ago.

Fuck Ron Paul, and fuck anyone who supports him.
