I’ve never seen more effective use of fantasy animation to promote tourism [x]

I’ve lived here for a year and a half now and it really is only slightly exaggerated, except there should have been more banana slugs in this

Multiple people like “I thought this would be for Japan tourism” but actually Oregon and Washington are extremely popular with Japanese people who want to visit or even live in the U.S, because the scenery and climate is so incredibly similar, not just because it’s easier to fly between the two.

Portland is apparently idolized over there as a bastion of quirky American culture (even before the show “Portlandia”), which I know mostly because our local Portland newspapers are really proud of it.

Portland and Tokyo totally ship themselves with each other.

shuri constantly teases peter about how much more advanced wakanda is and he usually can’t tell that she’s kidding. he’ll be like “i should get some sleep now” and she’s like “you still have to sleep? lmfao” and peter lays awake trying to figure out if that was a joke

Physicist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76

lazerwhale:

This is tremendously saddening news. Hawking was an amazing being, an amazing person. He helped to inspire people worldwide, and garner interest in the universe around us all. He helped us to understand things so much bigger than us.

He lived a life that was long, and yet it’s not hard to feel that no amount of time would have been too much to have him on this world of ours.

Thank you, sir, for all you have shown us.

You have returned to the universe.
