President Barack Obama openly weeping as he talks to campaign volunteers [x]

This little candid speech was so powerful. You can tell, from the bottom of his heart, he believes in what we’re doing, and what we can accomplish together, and that someday when he’s no longer president - how possible it is that he might have the honor to cast his vote for someone who was listening in that room that night.

Let’s ask ourselves…what exactly is going on here? I mean, I know, it’s a movie, it’s animated, it’s for kids, and SpongeBob lives in a pineapple and wears pants and has bonfires underwater but really, let’s just look at this.What’s in those bags? What are the bags in? Why would bags of water float in water? How on Earth does that make visual sense to anyone ever in the history of the world! The bags aren’t even taking their natural shape!
THIS IS A DISASTER OF TERRIBLE PHYSICS!

Fresh water in the bags vs. salt water in the ocean. Disaster averted.

Curiosity’s first color image from the surface of Mars!
So proud of our little guy up there in space. Color pictures already!? *sniffle sniffle* They grow up so fast.

Basically where I want to be eventually.
