Kinda worrisome seeing how many fewer stars Yahoo has vs Tumblr.
Then again, seeing how few Amazon has…boy, the info they have on me and my personal interests. *cough*

Jack was employed into service for the East India Trading Company and was given command of the Wicked Wench. However, after he set free a cargo of slaves, his employer, Cutler Beckett, had Jack branded as a pirate and the Wench set aflame and sunk. After failing to rescue the Wench, Sparrow struck a bargain with the ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones, to resurrect his beloved vessel. Jones returned the ship to Jack in near perfect condition except for the permanently charred hull. This prompted Jack to rename her the Black Pearl.

Jack Sparrow just got way cooler.
This is very important information that was not made nearly clear enough in the movies o_o
This is one of my favourite pieces of information we get about Jack Sparrow. The movies only really show you the drunk, happy-go-lucky, wild pirate that everyone of us fell in love with, but there are reasons he chooses to spend his life under the intoxication of rum and sleep with every woman that crosses his path.
Captain Sparrow is a highly intelligent man, probably speaks several languages and is a very strong strategist, mathematician and astronomist (because to become a captain in that day and age you had to know your numbers and stars to be able to sail the seven seas.
He willingly and knowingly went against a order that was given him. He broke a contract with a higher instance, which could’ve been enough to just hang him, but instead he was branded as a pirate - a great shame and something that would make it impossible for him to find any other job that exactly that which the mark stands for. He simply got put on death row, instead of just killed on the spot.
Also, we all know Jack Sparrow’s father is an infamous Pirate Captain himself. Think about it. A young Jack Sparrow, refusing to become a pirate himself, instead choosing to work for ‘the good guys’ and become a proper sailor. He then finds out about the slavery and the human cargo. He decides to do the right thing and let them go, and he is punished for it by being turned into the person he never wanted to be.
He is such a complex and brilliant character, and I wish they would’ve shown this more in the movies, because I could rant about him all day❤
Always makes me sad when people don’t know this stuff about Captain Sparrow.

You guys, this was a comment on the article about Yahoo wanting to buy Tumblr.
Gotta say, the thought of this being sold to Yahoo makes me seriously consider shutting down my more *ahem* risque tumblrs.

I love sassy Giles! He had such a short temper with Wesley. It was really fun to watch!
Seeing Wesley’s character development between Buffy and by the end of Angel was absolutely fantastic. Anyone who solely champions Buffy and snubs Angel (and there are those people) misses out on so, so much.

“It seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”
I shipped Mulder and Scully so hard before I ever knew that was what I was doing.

Marvel we need to talk about your obsessions with blue glowing objects
Marvel you have a kink
True story, I pretty much lost it when that opened up IM3. I’ve unironically had Europop on playlists since I was in 8th grade.
So. Good.

Earlier today, CBS News reported that at least two of the Benghazi e-mails that were leaked by Republicans last Friday were altered. The GOP leak of the altered Benghazi e-mails came five days before the White House released 100 pages of e-mail correspondence regarding the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
One of the altered e-mails was from Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes. The other altered e-mail was from U.S. State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Here’s the Republican version of the Rhodes e-mail:
Here’s the White House version of the Rhodes e-mail:We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don’t want to undermine the FBI investigation.Here’s the Republican version of the Nuland e-mail:We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation.Here’s the White House version of the Nuland e-mail:The penultimate point is a paragraph talking about all the previous warnings provided by the Agency (CIA) about al-Qaeda’s presence and activities of al-Qaeda.BUSTED!!!The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings.Republicans have been caught red-handed altering official e-mails sent in the immediate aftermath of the Benghazi attack. I’m not surprised that Republicans would pull such a stunt, after all, it was the Republicans who misled this country into the Iraq War!
Now, can we talk about the REAL Benghazi scandal…you know, the one about Republicans altering e-mails?
