First trailer: Almost Human
Executive-produced by Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams and creator J.H. Wyman and starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, Minka Kelly and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, Almost Human is a high-tech, high-stakes action drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely partnership is forged when a part-machine cop (Urban) is forced to pair with a part-human robot (Ealy) as they fight crime and investigate a deeper cover-up in a futuristic new world.

The following quotations are taken from official court records across the nation, showing how funny and embarrassing it is that recorders operate at all times in courts of law, so that even the slightest inadvertence is preserved for posterity.
Lawyer:"Was that the same nose you broke as a child?"Witness:"I only have one, you know."-----Lawyer:"Now, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?"Witness:"By death."Lawyer:"And by whose death was it terminated?"-----Accused, Defending His Own Case:"Did you get a good look at my face when I took your purse?"The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in jail.-----Lawyer:"What is your date of birth?"Witness:"July 15th."Lawyer:"What year?"Witness:"Every year."-----Lawyer:"What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?"Witness:"Gucci sweats and Reeboks."-----Lawyer:"Can you describe what the person who attacked you looked like?"Witness:"No. He was wearing a mask."Lawyer:"What was he wearing under the mask?"Witness:"Er...his face."-----Lawyer:"This myasthenia gravis -- does it affect your memory at all?"Witness:"Yes."Lawyer:"And in what ways does it affect your memory?"Witness:"I forget."Lawyer:"You forget. Can you give us an example of something that you've forgotten?"-----Lawyer:"How old is your son, the one living with you?"Witness:"Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't remember which."Lawyer:"How long has he lived with you?"Witness:"Forty-five years."-----Lawyer:"What was the first thing your husband said to you when he woke that morning?"Witness:"He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'"Lawyer:"And why did that upset you?"Witness:"My name is Susan."-----Lawyer:"Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"Witness:"No."Lawyer:"Did you check for blood pressure?"Witness:"No."Lawyer:"Did you check for breathing?"Witness:"No."Lawyer:"So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"Witness:"No."Lawyer:"How can you be so sure, Doctor?"Witness:"Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."Lawyer:"But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"Witness:"Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."-----Lawyer:"What happened then?"Witness:"He told me, he says, 'I have to kill you because you can identify me.'"Lawyer:"Did he kill you?"Witness:"No."-----Lawyer:"Now sir, I'm sure you are an intelligent and honest man--"Witness:"Thank you. If I weren't under oath, I'd return the compliment."-----Lawyer:"You were there until the time you left, is that true?"-----Lawyer:"So you were gone until you returned?"-----Lawyer:"The youngest son, the 20 year old, how old is he?"-----Lawyer:"Were you alone or by yourself?"-----Witness:"He was about medium height and had a beard."Lawyer:"Was this a male or a female?"-----Lawyer:"I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture."Witness:"That's me."Lawyer:"Were you present when that picture was taken?"-----Lawyer:"Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?"-----Lawyer:"Do you know how far pregnant you are now?"Witness:"I'll be three months on November 8."Lawyer:"Apparently, then, the date of conception was August 8?"Witness:"Yes."Lawyer:"What were you doing at that time?"-----Lawyer:"She had three children, right?"Witness:"Yes."Lawyer:"How many were boys?"Witness:"None."Lawyer:"Were there girls?"-----Lawyer:"You say that the stairs went down to the basement?"Witness:"Yes."Lawyer:"And these stairs, did they go up also?"-----Lawyer:"What is your brother-in-law's name?"Witness:"Borofkin."Lawyer:"What's his first name?"Witness:"I can't remember."Lawyer:"He's been your brother-in-law for years, and you can't remember his first name?"Witness:"No. I tell you, I'm too excited." (rising and pointing to his brother-in-law) "Nathan, for heaven's sake, tell them your first name!"-----Lawyer:"Did you ever stay all night with this man in New York?"Witness:"I refuse to answer that question.Lawyer:"Did you ever stay all night with this man in Chicago?"Witness:"I refuse to answer that question.Lawyer:"Did you ever stay all night with this man in Miami?"Witness:"No."-----Lawyer:"Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?"Witness:"All my autopsies have been performed on dead people."-----Lawyer:"Were you acquainted with the deceased?"Witness:"Yes sir."Lawyer:"Before or after he died?"-----Lawyer:"When he went, had you gone and had she, if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station?"Other Lawyer:"Objection. That question should be taken out and shot."-----Lawyer:"And what did he do then?"Witness:"He came home, and next morning he was dead."Lawyer:"So when he woke up the next morning he was dead?"-----Lawyer:"Could you see him from where you were standing?"Witness:"I could see his head."Lawyer:"And where was his head?"Witness:"Just above his shoulders."-----Lawyer:"Any suggestions as to what prevented this from being a murder trial instead of an attempted murder trial?"Witness:"The victim lived."Posted on April 7, 2013 via Aspirin Junkie with 90,858 notes

Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.

Baobabs
This is a Baobab tree (Adansonia digitata ). The genus is found throughout Africa and in Madagascar, some parts of Asia and Australia. They are often called “the tree of life”. Their trunks often reach 7 - 11 m in diameter, and the Glencoe baobab (usually considered the largest in existence, in south africa) had a diameter of 15.9 m until it split into two parts a few years ago. A single tree can hold up to 4,500 L (1,189 gal) of water.

The “get these fucking prints out of my sight” giveaway
- So, I have an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer
- I use it for the high-quality 13”x19” Limited Ed. prints in my official shop but recently it has been out to make my head explode by casually putting a random ink splotch on otherwise perfect prints
- I am seething with rage!!!!! because it only happens randomly so I don’t know what’s wrong and also I use very expensive paper and ink SO EACH TINY SPLATTER costs me a fuckload
- I don’t want to throw out the prints because they look fine otherwise but I also can’t look at them any longer cause THEY ARE FAILURES AND MAKE ME SO ANGRY!!!!
- People who follow me on Twitter can attest to my total meltdown and tantrum because of this
- They’ve suggested that I sell them as discounted Artist’s Proofs or something but INSTEAD I am going to do a giveaway
- Next Saturday, March 16th, I will pick one or two
loserswinners to receive these prints free of charge. They normally cost $80-$95, and I don’t sell some of these pieces anywhere else, so I figure if anyone wants ‘em and doesn’t mind the imperfections… - The prints are 13”x19” and will be signed and dated and marked “PROOF.” I’ll ship anywhere.
- I don’t fucking care how many times you reblog
- But try and reblog at least once because the goal is that maybe someone who sees this post is a Printer Whisperer and can tell me why the fuck my printer is being such a douchebag
- I don’t fucking care if you’re following me
- Get these fuckiNG FAILURES out of my sight!!!!11
