The agents responsible for taking Captain Rogers to a screening of Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’, and convincing him that was how the war ended, have been identified, and have forfeited their furlough time until they provide him with a proper History textbook and debrief him.]

Landing page for BBC America’s new dramatic series Copper. I just love the color palette, and typography, and the way in which the background imagery and the video player is integrated. Site design by Threespot, best that I can determine.
10 year anniversary of Firefly? I’m old as fuck.

STARR REPORT - Neil Cross has written a standalone novel “Luther: The Calling”
Neil Cross the writer/creator of BBC America’s acclaimed series, “Luther,” has written a standalone crime novel, “Luther: The Calling,” which will serve as a prequel to the TV series (which stars Golden Globe winner Idris Elba).
“Luther: The Calling,” will be officially published on Sept. 4, giving fans of the show some time to digest its contents before “Luther” returns for its third season in 2013. According to press materials for the book, fans “will see how it all began with the case that pushed Luther over the edge.”
Elba, by the way, won his 2012 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Mini-Series. The series, co-starring Ruth Wilson, Indira Varma and Paul McGann, premiered in 2010.
So Ween broke up today. To be honest, I’ve never been super into them, or that is to say, I was never a rabid fan like my friend Dan here. Count me in the camp that felt like a confused onlooker. You either loved or hated their quirky, half-humorous songs or you weren’t in on the joke….
Ween used to headline the WTSR Radiothon fundraising concerts when we were a little 1500 watt student-run freeform radio station trying to stay on the air while The Man tried every trick in the book to shut us down.
While we probably stayed on the air because of our savvy community organizing and political gamesmanship, I think a big part of our success was the yearly turnout of support we got because of bands like Ween.
Thank you, Ween.

It is so comforting to know that even Aaron Sorkin feels this way, because it’s how I feel every. single. time.

Carl Sagan:
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it’s different. Look again at that dot. That’s here, that’s home, that’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every ”supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
