Two More Elements Added to The Periodic Table
You can now greet by name two new residents of the period table of elements: Flerovium and Livermorium.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry officially approved names for the elements — which sit at slot 114 and 116, respectively — on 31 May. They have until now gone by the temporary monikers ununquadium and ununhexium.
… As if my sciences weren’t hard enough for me…
I love that there is now an element named after Livermore, CA! :D
I love ThinkGeek

reblog if you’re a conservative and not ashamed of it.
While I don’t usually like reblogging “reblog if’s” for “not ashamed reasons.”
— I like this exception. xD
So, in response to the whole “women v. government” thing about birth control and abortions…(my phone won’t let me reblog with this included. So here’s my opinion)
NO ONE is saying women cannot have birth control. It’s about whether or not govt pays for it. You want to have sex? Pay for your own fucking birth control. Cant afford birth control? Abstinence is free. Can’t afford condoms? Maybe find another guy to fuck. One who is at least gentleman enough to buy condoms. You can get birth control and condoms for free at planned parenthood by the way.
And if you get pregnant, it’s your own fucking fault for not being safe and responsible. So deal with the consequences (as much as I hate to call a child a “consequence”). Get a fucking job. There is ALWAYS someone hiring. Work two jobs if you have to. It’s not the govt’s responsibility to babysit you and to fix your mistakes.
Grow the fuck up.

Denis Medri Gives Batman and Friends a Rockabilly Makeover [link]
Artist Denis Medri created a series of 1950s-inspired redesigns of characters from Gotham City, transforming Batman’s friends and foes into a stylish cast of rockabilly vigilantes, varsity team sidekicks, and sinister Teddy Boys. From Bruce Wayne’s Batmobile-styled hot rod to Catwoman’s Bettie Page-invoking getup, Gotham has never looked this darn peachy keen.
Pulling inspiration from the ’50s and pop culture, Medri’s rendition of Gotham City is an absolute delight that successfully fuses nostalgia with the Bat-Universe. Barbara Gordon’s redesign pulls directly from Grease, translating the dynamic between Barbara and her alter-ego as Batgirl by borrowing fashion cues from Sandy’s wardrobe. Likewise, Medri’s interpretation of Two-Face resembles a split personality between Happy Days’ Richie Cunningham and an evil Fonzie, while The Riddler greatly resembles 3-D from Back to the Future.
Although most of these redesigns contain a degree of costuming elements with the masks and cowls, Medri’s illustrations serve as fine examples of how to adapt the signature styling elements of the Bat-family and Arkham’s finest into casual yet unique cosplay options, if not wearable retro street fashion. The Nightwing varsity jacket serves as a great styling update to the classic superhero emblem t-shirt, with letterman jackets being on-trend over the past couple of years. The restyling of Harley Quinn and Two-Face are a fine example of the striking effects that simple color-blocking, layers, and pattern mixing can have when coordinating an ensemble.
