I have to mention that some living organism can tolerate temperatures that go down to 0 Kelvin, namely the Ozobranchus jantseanus, a leech that lives on Japanese turtles, or the Polypedilum vanderplanki (The larva of a fly), which can survive at -270°C by drying itself out completely.

The evidence that the people playing characters at theme parks are completely awesome and hilarious continues to mount. Today's proof comes courtesy of Disney's Gaston who does not suffer fools lightly.

E (grågrön i fejset): Jag har ... rätt ont i magen faktiskt.
Jag (sur): Ja du är väl inte så VAN vid sånt som en annan kanske? Bit ihop, ta en värktablett och vila bara. Slår vad om att du inte ätit eller druckit nåt sen igår heller? Fan, ibland är det som om jag har tre barn.




Det var sprucken blindtarm. Oops.

“

I wasn’t going to write a new one this year. But…

Be kind to yourself in the year ahead.

Remember to forgive yourself, and to forgive others. It’s too easy to be outraged these days, so much harder to change things, to reach out, to understand.

Try to make your time matter: minutes and hours and days and weeks can blow away like dead leaves, with nothing to show but time you spent not quite ever doing things, or time you spent waiting to begin.

Meet new people and talk to them. Make new things and show them to people who might enjoy them.

Hug too much. Smile too much. And, when you can, love.

”

As annoyed as I was with the trackpad, I can appreciate a wry reply from the company’s Twitter folk.

I’m not even sorry.

“So, if you’re mad at Sony because it’s bad for art and artists, I’m with you. There is nothing cool about silencing artists because they say something you don’t like (again, see Maines, Natalie, 2003).
 
But, if you’re mad at Sony because you’re afraid it makes America look weak and willing to give up its ideals in the face of fear, just remember this: we set our Constitution on fire and watched it burn for a decade in the name of feeling safe.
 
That is, to the people in government who might be furious: don’t ask how an American corporation learned to capitulate to invisible terrorists.
 
It learned by watching you.”

Star Trek + Social Commentary (context in the captions)

THIS is what the original Star Trek TV series and films were about. Not just about blowing up things in space and snazzy lens flares with a side order of casual sexism -.-‘.

dude do you know how many people I have pissed off by saying the exact same thing?

Not enough people.

The good work is never finished. Spread that Good Trek News across the galaxy!

While I agree with OP’s sentiment, consider this: the new Star Trek, with its lens flares and stuff is a perfect gateway for people to discover and devour the rest of Star Trek. Remember that for every great episode of TNG or TOS, there was a shoot ‘em up, or a Code of Honor, or something similar.

So keep spreading the word about amazing Trek like the gifs here, but let’s be welcoming to the people who love the new Star Trek, and guide them to the social Star Trek we all love, instead of shaming them for liking what they like.
