Will Smith went to London and dressed up as a Boots sales assistant to promote Jaden’s new water brand ….. what dimension are we living in

“Brand of water” look at our society, we need a good old fashioned culling.

The kid is just doing what he wants to better the world. He started a brand of bottled water that’s better for the environment and is responsibly sourcing everything from the bottle to the water. They’ve gone as far to work with a specific city and only bottle excess water and pay the city more than its actually worth so their water infrastructure can be improved. He’s also donating water to Flint until the lead levels are actually at safe levels because the government decided they don’t want to anymore.

If you’re gonna try to complain about a celebrity doing something at least be educated on what they’re actually doing first

TIL that in 2013 a scientist injected human brain cells into a mouse brain, which improved the mouse’s memory and capacity to learn

via reddit.com

To stop it from conquering the planet they injected human brain cells from an incompetent weirdo into a seperate mouse and then put the two mice in the same cage so the silly mouse will always frustrate the terrifying genius mouse’s plans

Brain, an intellectual: Pinky are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Pink…very much NOT an intellectual: I think so, Brain. But where we gonna find rubber pants at this hour?

How the rest of the Fellowship sees Gandalf: unknowably ancient & powerful wizard, highly intimidating, must be treated with respect, when he shows up in your kingdom you know shit’s about to go down

How the hobbits see Gandalf: fun uncle grandpa

#IT’S TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #THOUGH HONESTLY THEY PROBABLY SEE GANDALF MORE AS ‘FUN UNCLE GRANDPA WHO’S ALSO A WEED DEALER AND DOES A SIDE LINE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS’

that’s the fun part, the whole point of a fun uncle is they are wildly irresponsible

hobbit kids LOVE when Gandalf shows up bcos they know that if they stick to him sooner or later they’ll hear something they shouldn’t or get to do something they shouldn’t or both

Natural Disasters Widen Racial Wealth Gap, Rice University Researchers Find

Whites on average gain, minorities lose wealth after disasters

by Florian Martin

Whites who live in counties badly damaged by natural disasters on
average gain nearly $126,000 in wealth. Minorities, on the other hand,
lose tens of thousands of dollars.

This happens even when you control for income, education and a range of other factors.

That’s according to a study from Rice University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Part of it has to do with where governmental and business investment
goes, said lead researcher Junia Howell, an assistant professor at the
University of Pittsburgh and a scholar at Rice’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research.

One example of that is New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

“What happened was whites in those areas ended up gaining more
wealth,” she said, “because they were in communities now that had been
reinvested and had more money being poured in, both in economics and
infrastructure and other things.”

What’s surprising, Howell noted, is that the wealth gap in counties that received more FEMA aid widened even more.

She hopes future research will address possible solutions to this problem.
