My Family Dropped Cable To Save Money And I Find It Difficult To Describe The Degree To Which We All

Part 2

Clark, Lois, and Jimmy found themselves atop the roof of a generic skyscraper (very illegally) twenty minutes later. A man was there, and he looked nervous- not just about the height.

He jumped as the three reporters clambered over the top of the highest window and onto the roof.

"Why did we have to meet here?" Jimmy asked. "It seems... overly dangerous."

"Had to... had to find a covert location. Luthor has eyes all over the city. This place... it's an old tradition, ever since it was built. No cameras up here, ever. And clearly there aren't any people. Ronald Hart, by the way." The small, mostly bald man chuckled nervously. He looked a bit stressed. You probably can't imagine why.

Clark stayed clear of the edge. He might be able to fly, but he wasn't keen on his friends and Mr. Hart knowing that.

"Mr. Hart, you told us you had concrete proof of corruption at Lexcorp?" Lois asked.

"Yes, that's right." he said, as if he had forgotten for a moment what he was doing on top of an eleven- story skyscraper. He shakily removed a small file folder from the back of his coat. "It's all in here. In you hand now. I need to go."

Even Lois didn't try to pry. They helped him back into the top floor, and all took separate elevators down, except Clark and Lois, since there were only three elevators.

Clark, after tripping and grabbing the elevator handrail for support, cleared his throat awkwardly.

"So... Lois. Any... particular plans this weekend?"

"Not sure." she answered." Depends on what it takes to get the dirt." she pulled out the folder and opened it curiously. As soon as she saw what was inside, she gasped. Quickly, she passed it over to her fellow reporter to show him the shocking news. As soon as they arrived at the first floor, they ran to show Jimmy.

"But..." he said. "This makes no sense. I saw that guy on TV just last week."

"I guess... I guess it wasn't her" Clark answered. They were all much more subdued as they rode the bus back to the Daily Planet.

To be continued.

Justice League Headcanons: Comfort Food

Clark: Freshly baked apple pie with whipped cream and cinnamon on top. He has a huge sweet tooth and it reminds him of home.

Bruce: A "Cheesemeister Deluxe" from Big Belly Burger. It was Jason's go-to any time they got food on patrol, and despite their laundry list of differences having it makes Bruce feel a little closer to him. Especially when he's alone.

Diana: Pistachio and coffee ice cream mixed together. Sometimes she'll bring extra to share during Justice League meetings. Mostly for Bruce, since he's the only one who will it eat it with her.

Barry: Two deep dish pizzas with grilled chicken, philly steak, mushrooms, and jalapenos. Iris nags him about how greasy it is, but he still gets it every once in a while because he needs the extra calories.

GL Hal: Hot wings from the bar he and Carol went to the first time they got drinks together. They're always too crispy for his taste, but the homemade hot sauce is to die for.

J'onn: A vanilla milkshake with tons of crushed Chocos in and on it. But if that's not an option, chocolate mousse cake works in a pinch.

Arthur: Spam musubi with heaps of fried breadfruit and 'otai on the side. Unfortunately, it's rare that he can get all three at once.

Kara: Everyone thinks it's pizza and potstickers and she doesn't correct them. But really it's dragon fruit frozen yogurt. It's the closest thing Earth has to what used to be her favorite snack on Krypton, and the only thing that works when she's lonely.

Mari: Goat vindaloo for a meal, as spicy as anyone can make it. If she can speak while eating it, it's not hot enough. For dessert, a double-wrapped crepe with strawberries, bananas, walnuts, and chocolate sauce.

Tatsu: Cold soba in the spring and summer and hot soba in autumn and winter. She only gets it a few times a year to make sure she never gets tired of it.

GL John: Dry-rub smoked ribs from his favorite mom-and-pop joint back in Detroit. Then a slice of sweet potato pie for dessert.

Oliver: His League-famous chili, if he has the time to make it. But if not, Paula's dumplings are second to none and he makes sure to thank her for giving him the recipe every time he and Artemis visit her.

Dinah: Garlic cheese fries, made from scratch. She makes it for special occasions celebrated at home, or when Ollie's gone on a mission without her and she needs the pick-me-up.

Zatanna: Stuffed chicken breast with gnocchi in alfredo sauce. She used to help her father make it when she was little. It seems selfish, but after he died she refuses to make it for anyone else, and so only ever cooks it when she's alone.

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

Reblog if you didn’t write My Immortal

We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?
