Vanellope’s “Slaughter Race” song is such an absolutely perfect parody of the Disney Princess song archetype.

8YO just finished the main story of LEGO Incredibles and discovered the bonus level where you play as the Omnidroid and destroy the city.
He’s gleefully smashing everything while saying “It’s just wrong to save the city and then destroy it” *smash* *smash*
“Saving the city then destroying it? Not cool! :-)” *smash* “But, if it’s a game, it’s fine!” *smash* *smash* *smash*
MISSION COMPLETE!

I feel like I ought to write something for @SpeedForce
about what’s going on with Heroes in Crisis and The Flash, but unlike anger, severe disappointment just isn’t motivating.
Fortunately, Ed wrote something better than I could have, and broadened it to the way Heroes in Crisis is handling mental illness as compared to The Unstoppable Wasp.

“They asked artificial intelligence to create a game. One of its first ideas involved exploding Frisbees.”
The article goes on to describe a less dangerous game that they ended up actually implementing, but there’s something perfect in the exploding Frisbee idea.

I should especially (not) put Skype, Simplenote and Shazam next to each other.
Or maybe I should, and it would be easier to notice at a glance which white S on a light blue blob is the one I want to open.
Fly away!

Fly away! This crane egret was standing on the road around #MadronaMarsh, swaying back and forth and looking upward like it was dancing or something, until it finally decided to fly off.

Some great examples of spectacular mirages over the ocean, including the fata morgana
Some great examples of spectacular mirages over the ocean, including the fata morgana, which occurs when different layers of air refract light so that an image – or multiple images – appear above where the object actually is. Named for Morgana le Fay, because it can make distant islands or ships appear as castles in the air.
The Most Interesting, Spectacular Mirages Aren’t in the Desert
The Wikipedia article on the phenomenon also has some great images, and a diagram of how it works.
Flashback: A tropical stream in Hawaii
Photo taken at: Akaka Falls State Park
Flashback: A #tropical #stream in #Hawaii, somewhere along the trail to the 420-ft Akaka Falls on the Big Island. I’ve been digging out the originals of photos I posted in low resolution back in the day. This seemed like a good one for #EarthDay.
Correction: 440 feet. Not that they’re in this photo anyway.

A deserted Parisian street on a gloomy November day, years ago. I stumbled on it again while looking for my photos of Notre Dame from the same trip, and I actually like this shot better than any of the ones I took of the cathedral. The lack of scaffolding probably helped!

Scanned the negatives of my tourist shots from #NotreDameCathedral back in 1999(!). It was a gloomy day, but the sun did eventually come out. The front of the cathedral was being renovated at the time.

Found my tourist snapshots from visiting #NotreDameCathedral way back when. Gloomy day with scaffolding, and a note that none of the inside photos came out. I can see why I never scanned them, though I might dig out the negatives and do that now just to get them onto digital.
