For Roxane – an in-depth look at the Furious 7 trailer (okay, to be honest, it’s not that in-depth. It’s mostly just “a look”).
She really did!
This sounds good! I hope very much that something will come of this.
“Twitter CEO Dick Costolo is taking personal responsibility for his platform’s chronic problems with harassment and abuse, telling employees that he is embarrassed for the company’s failures and would soon be taking stronger action to eliminate trolls. He said problems with trolls are driving away the company’s users. ‘We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we’ve sucked at it for years,” Costolo wrote in an internal memo obtained by The Verge. “It’s no secret and the rest of the world talks about it every day. We lose core user after core user by not addressing simple trolling issues that they face every day.'”
Did You Know Spider-Man And Sailor Moon Have A Shared Enemy?

It is quite possibly a bit dumb to feel sad about this, because 99% of my fondness for (and, honestly, awareness of) Brian Williams stems from his (DELIGHTFUL) guest appearances on 30 Rock, but this timeline of his changing story about his experience in Iraq is fairly damning. I wish very much he hadn’t done this!
I think maybe Angel and Ireland are back together? Which, thank God if true, I was not ready to bear the emotional burden of living in that world.

Oh man, let’s go look for this!
At about an hour after sunset on Saturday, February 7, and for the next two weeks afterward, keen sky-watchers in the Northern Hemisphere can hunt down one of the most elusive of astronomical phenomena: zodiacal light.
This pyramid-shaped beam of light is easily mistaken for the lights of a far-off city just over the dark horizon in the countryside. It has also been called the “false dawn.” But this light is more ethereal; it is caused by sunlight reflecting off cosmic dust between the planets.
The best time to catch this ghostly sky light is about an hour after sunset, looking toward the western horizon from the dark countryside.
This celestial phenomenon is actually the reflection of billions of dust-size particles left behind in interplanetary space after the planets formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
