John Green
Each January, we honor the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia crews, as well as other members of the NASA family who lost their lives supporting NASA’s mission of exploration. We thank them and their families for their extraordinary sacrifices in the service of our nation.
On this Day of Remembrance, as we remember our fallen heroes with tributes and public ceremonies, I will take part in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Across the country, all flags at NASA Headquarters and the NASA centers will be flown at half-mast in their memory.
Space exploration is a difficult and dangerous endeavor. We recognize these pioneers’ sacrifices each day with our ongoing commitment to safety. As an agency, we know the risks inherent in each mission. Ensuring the safety of our employees is our highest priority.
The legacy of those we have lost is our ongoing work and the inspiration of generations of new space explorers. Every day, with each new challenge we overcome and every discovery we make, we honor these remarkable men and women. Please join me in working to fulfill their dreams for the future.

My grandfather comes from this beautiful little town in Germany! I’ve never been, but he always talked aobut it fondly. (Though my Hamburg family did tease him about coming from the sticks!)
God knows I’m not a fan of designer dog breeds, but isn’t this “Pomsky” ADORABLE?! Pomeranians and Huskies… I don’t even want to think about how it works, but the results are adorable.

If 2012 Oscar Nominee Posters Told the Truth
A staple of any awards season is the obligatory “If These Movie Posters Told the Truth” mock-up. However, just because the gimmick is trite doesn’t mean it’s not amusing. This year’s line-up of Academy Award nominees isn’t lacking in Oscar-bait material, with everything from The Iron Lady to The Artist. The fact that films like these so blatantly seem to fit into the category of “Oscar nominee” makes them ripe for this kind of ribbing. We’ve amassed a number of “honest posters” for films like The Artist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Descendants, as well as a few “almost Oscar nominated” films like Shame and We Need to Talk About Kevin. Hit the jump to check them out.
John Green: GAY is NOT an INSULT (x)
EPIC SET. Thanks for doing this…whoever did it.
I need these in my life. Why, oh why, Britain did you ban them? They’re not that unhealthy.

Book...
Birdsong, BBC 2012: Joseph Mawle as Jack Firebrace
I think I would rather that they hadn’t made the adaptation than to get rid of all of the reasons why I adore the book. There...
“All night he sang for his brother, whom he had brought home in his hands.”
