MAJOR BRIGGS enters and sits at the counter, enjoys a cup of coffee, a little contemplation. The LOG LADY appears, sits beside him. Holding, patting her log. She eyes the medals arrayed on the Major’s uniform.

LOG LADY: You wear bright objects on your chest.

MAJOR BRIGGS: (unfazed) Yes. I do.

LOG LADY: Are you proud?

MAJOR BRIGGS: Achievement is its own reward. Pride obscures it. Cream?

Just as a reminder: you all dressed like idiots back then. Especially you. Oh, and if you designed a website back then, pray it doesn’t come back on your name. Jesus.

““Believe it or not — this was in the ’60s — we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse, and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.””

4 trillion degrees Celsius

4 trillion degrees Celsius:

kottke:

Using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, particle physicists have succeeded in creating quark-gluon plasma, the temperature of which is 4 trillion degrees Celsius (about 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun). The plasma is believed to be the state the universe was in a microsecond after its creation.

The departure from normal physics manifested itself in the apparent ability of the briefly freed quarks to tell right from left. That breaks one of the fundamental laws of nature, known as parity, which requires that the laws of physics remain unchanged if we view nature in a mirror.

This happened in bubbles smaller than the nucleus of an atom, which lasted only a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second. But in these bubbles were “hints of profound physics,” in the words of Steven Vigdor, associate director for nuclear and particle physics at Brookhaven. Very similar symmetry-breaking bubbles, at an earlier period in the universe, are believed to have been responsible for breaking the balance between matter and its opposite antimatter and leaving the universe with a preponderance of matter.

She & Him – “In The Sun” Video:

During the intro scene, as the camera pans up a slim young man, I thought to myself “If this is Joseph Gordon Levitt, I’m going to stab a pencil in my eye” which is weird because I didn’t hate 500 Days of Summer that much … I must be in an anti-cute mood.

Hawk Jones is six, going on seven. He’s cool, he’s bad, he’s a mean machine. He’s a cop just doing his job. KA-BOOM! Also, it takes place in “Mini-tropolis”. Also, watch a real clip from this real movie that was filmed and released in a real way.
