'To celebrate the release of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” the Historical Society of Princeton has added a new walking tour to its event schedule inspired by the film’s title character and late Princeton resident J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The Oppenheimer Walking Tour led by Steve Yacik, regular guide for Historical Society of Princeton’s tours, will take visitors across the grounds that the famous theoretical physicist and credited father of the atomic bomb once roamed.

The walking tour will start at the Princeton Garden Theater and include several stops, such as The Frist Campus Center and the exterior of Alexander Hall. Yacik will tell tour groups many stories about Oppenheimer and his family that were not featured in the film, including some that describe Oppenheimer’s time as director of the Institute for Advance Study and his final years spent in Princeton leading up to his death in 1967.

Along the tour, visitors also will have the opportunity to take photos at two of the three locations used as sets in the film. These set locations are both located on Princeton University’s campus as the tour will not extend to the Institute for Advance Study due to distance.

August tours have sold out. However, more dates are being added in the coming weeks.

Back in April of 2022, “Oppenheimer” filming rattled Princeton as students and locals crowded Princeton University and the Institute for Advance Study’s campuses when footage of director Christopher Nolan and famous movie stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. quickly spread across social media. The University Chapel and East Pyne at Princeton University and Fuld Hall at the Institute for Advanced Study were used as sets for the film. The aforementioned locations can all be seen in the final theatrical release.

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is a biographical film that explores J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy) at the most important moment of his career. Depicted in the film and based on reality, Oppenheimer and the staff of both Princeton University and the Institute for Advance Study played a major role in advancing the Manhattan Project, a secret research and development team created by the United States government during World War II to develop the most powerful weapon in history before the Nazis could. “Oppenheimer” explores the creation and aftermath of the first nuclear bomb’s invention.

Oppenheimer Walking Tour price tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at the Historical Society of Princeton’s website when they are added to the tour schedule. For those interested in seeing the movie “Oppenheimer” prior to the tour, visitors can see the film at the Princeton Gardens Theater — fun fact, this is the same longstanding Princeton theater where J. Robert Oppenheimer saw several of his favorite movies with his spouse Katherine.'

I want more of the JL acting like normal celebrities.

Batman and Chappel Roan working together on a competitive cooking show against teams of Kylie Jenner and Danny Devito, Kanye West and Kesha, Taylor Swift and Superman, etc. They are a surprisingly good team who work together great. They end up winning the whole thing and a bunch of wholesome memes start trending about the two of them adopting you after your awful parents kicked you out. Superman and Taylor Swift are surprisingly a TERRIBLE team. They’re disqualified because they never finished cooking their meals as they were too busy arguing. They are memed to be the parents who kicked you out and desperately need a divorce.

Wonder Woman going on a survivor-like reality show about a bunch of celebrities stuck on an island together and all the contestants are whining about things like “My hair is so frizzy and Chad is SO hot, I don’t want him to see me like this omg” While Diana has already chopped down multiple trees, used the wood to make a cabin for everyone, hunted a wild boar which is currently roasting over a campfire she also made with the leftover sticks and leaves, and cracked the coconuts from the tree. The rest of the show is mostly a normal reality show. The other contestants never have to lift a finger and can peacefully gossip and have drama while being well fed, housed, and hydrated. The only real difference is that every few minute the camera switches to Diana wresting a grizzly bear or catching fish with her bare hands.

The masked singer where there’s a person in a colourful parrot costume singing on stage and everyone has to guess who it is. People have guessed many celebrities like Oliver Queen, Bruce Wayne, or even Lex Luther, but they mostly guessed famous singers because the guy is GOOD and there’s no way he doesn’t sing professionally. He sang songs like “Party in the USA”, “Call Me Maybe” and “Never Gonna Give You Up”. People were going crazy trying to figure out who he is. The time finally comes for the reveal. The man slowly takes off his parrot head and... it’s Batman. The crowd goes wild.

The Flash (Barry) and Green Lantern (Hal) make a podcast and spend the entire time going on long rants about their respective interests. Flash talks about forensic science and chemistry for an hour while GL hums in interest or asks questions every once in a while. After that GL rambles about airplanes and engineering for another hour while Flash enthusiastically nods and adds in related stories every so often. Twitter diagnoses them with autism.

Captain Marvel has a TikTok account where he posts himself trying suggestions from his fans. Some of his most popular videos include him juggling a bunch of chainsaws (perfectly, btw), pranking JL members, bedazzling Mr Minds prison jar with fake crystals and speech bubble stickers that make it look like Mr Mind is saying things like “I’m DUMB”, and his most popular by far, citing The Santa Clause rules to Black Adam and convincing him that since he killed his father technically that makes him his new dad (the horror stopped Black Adam in place mid battle, giving Marvel the perfect opportunity to punch him in the face. The punch has been slo-mo’d and memed to oblivion). His Batman mandated PR team has been begging him to stop for months but in response he posts himself TikTok dancing (terribly) in front of a green screen in the background showing an image of the emails while asking for more suggestions.

If anyone has any ideas like this or fics to recommend plz tell me In the comments, I love the Justice League just casually being celebrities.

pet names

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash overhears a conversation from a nearby table at the restaurant they're seated at, the unnamed character saying, "Honey, can you pass me that?" Their partner says, "Sure thing, angel." The unnamed character begins again, "Say, did you hear the news from earlier?" In response, "Haven't got the chance. Tell me about it?" Vash smiles fondly, listening in as the conversation continues, "You'd never guess, babe! The runner--" Abruptly, the conversation is cut in by a "Needle nogging", Vash's expression changing instantly and no longer smiling. The panel cuts to Wolfwood who smiles lop-sidedly, pointing at Vash's plate and says, "If you're not going to eat that. I'll take it." Vash grabs the plate and holds it away and says, "Mine" while Wolfwood clicks his tongue. He pauses for a moment before asking slowly, "Hey, is there any reason you don't use cute names with me?" Wolfwood lifts a cup of water up to his lips, looking confused. He says, "I do though." Vash cuts in, "Spikey and needle nogging aren't cute!"

Vash continues with a shy expression, "Since we're together now..." he trails off and Wolfwood picks up, taking a sip of water as he says thoughtfully, "Together, huh..." Vash pauses in his sentence with a look of confusion before reaffirming, "We are together, right?" Wolfwood nods, "Right." Vash says, "Right", before continuing, his shy expression returning, "Then you can use stuff like... honey or-" Wolfwood cuts in this time and says casually, "You're not a honey though." A panel cuts of Vash's expression changing again, shocked. He asks, "Huh? Then who is?" Wolfwood says immediately, "Milly." Vash exclaims, "Milly?!" Wolfwood continues, "She's sweet, just like honey." A bubble pops up of Milly smiling as Wolfwood speaks. Vash continues, "Okay, true... What about sweetpea?" Wolfwood responds, "Kids. Kids are sweetpea. And pumpkin too." Vash continues, "Okay... What about baby?" Wolfwood says without hesitation, "Meryl." Vash exclaims again, "Meryl?!" Wolfwood explains," Noisy, like a baby." Vash mutters, "Hey, that's a bit mean..."

Vash continues persistently, "Then what about babe?" Wolfwood shrugs with a grin, "You are not a babe." Vash looks at him, slightly frustrated before exclaiming with flushed cheeks, "Then what am I?!" Wolfwood points at his hair and smiles softly, "I told you. You're the one and only needle nogging." A panel closes in on Vash's widen eyes, cheeks still red, pausing before he ultimately resigns, planting his face into the palms of his hands and muttering, "I give up..." At the same time, Wolfwood sneaks and grabs the plate of food that Vash left unattended, saying in response, "You get up cuaght up about the dumbest things, y'know that?"

The comic then picks up again to a jump in time, after they've left the restaurant. Wolfwood muses to Vash, "You said all that about the names earlier, but I don't hear ya using them for me." Vash looks to him excitably and asks, "Did you want me to?" Wolfwood looks at him with an uncertain expression, "Not really, but I guess I am curious..." Vash beams, "Then let's try some, okay... dear?" He fingerguns Wolfwood with a grin, little hearts surrounding him. Wolfwood just looks at him neutrally and says, "Okay," while thinking to himself, "Cute..." Vash exclaims, "So unenthusiastic!"

The next comic picks up at a different time, but on the same theme of pet names. Vash hugs Wolfwood and says to him, "Thank you, my love." A panel close up of Vash steadily opening his eyes before he sees Wolfwood's reaction up close, his eyes glancing away, cheeks flushed, and the smoke out of his cig forming soft hearts as he mutters, "Sure..." In a smaller, cartoonish style, Vash has a comedically exaggerated expression of shock and widened eyes as he grips Wolfwood by the shoulders while Wolfwood still wears a shy expression. He then nudges his head to the side of Wolfwood's with a close eyed happy smile, hugging him close and says, "So, there WAS one you liked!" Wolfwood, still looking away, but now with an irritated and embarrassed expression, grumbles, "Shut up..."

The final image is a short sequence. Wolfwood is working on something, spacing out as he does, while Vash from off screen calls for him, starting with "Babeeee? Babe? Beautiful? Honey? My love?" All of which gets no reaction from Wolfwood. Vash pauses for a moment before piping up again, "wolfwood?" Wolfwood turns around, finally noticing that Vash was calling for him and asks, "What?" A box at the bottom of the page says, "Unresponsive to anything other than his names." END ID]

Another video from yesterday's unique situation at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (the one that produced the "picture of the year" 👆 according to many Americans).

Patriotic American students protect the US flag and keep it from touching the ground while the anti-Israeli students curse them, throw bottles at them and splash water at them.

The Israeli flag is also part of the situation.

There are reports on social media that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated by Americans to the group that defended the flag.

It inspires great pride in the American public.

Thanks to follower Y for the video.

I don't want your traditional drama that you get from cheating with Spock and T'Pring. I want this.

T'Pring finds out and she just stands there for a couple of minutes then:

T'Pring: I had sexual intercourse with Michael Burnham.

Chapel: *confused*

Laan: *confused because she distantly remembers that being the name of a Mutineer*

Spock: WHAT!!!?!!!!!

Pike: *panicking, desperately trying to find an exit, falls on floor, has heart attack*

The thing is, I very much do consider myself a progressive, but I’m a pragmatic progressive, which to me means (among other things) that I have a meaningful understanding of how government actually works, including being honest about what can and can’t be done through executive order and agency action, SCOTUS ratfuckery, and which party is responsible for congressional gridlock. As a policy matter, it also means I recognize that slogans are not policy and that the vast majority of policy goals can be reached in many ways (and that insisting your preferred method must be used to reach a goal while refusing to accept alternatives that are more feasible to implement and will accomplish the ultimate goal is the height of selfishness). And relatedly, I don’t demonize incremental change because in my view if you can help some people you should even if you aren’t able to help absolutely everyone you wanted to, you have a moral obligation to at a minimum help those you can and continue the fight for everyone else the next day. These things are not incompatible with progressive policy goals or values, and yet to the online left, those views make me an evil neoliberal etc etc. It never ceases to amaze me.

A Photographic Journey into the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and Duke Chapel (Durham, NC ¬ 22/08/24)

This week, I'm on vacation. And I'll do whatever I damn well please.

So I sauntered into the beautiful Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

I was on a walking journey to get to Duke Chapel, at Duke University.

And I was just OVERCOME by the greenstone beauty of this garden.

Let me tell ya Duke students, you're lucky to study here. Study well.

Overheated, these gardens became my maze-like prison until...

I reached Duke campus, and the buildings began to look like castles.

And there she was, Duke Chapel. I went inside and...

Oh, oh my. The resplendence... I've been in many chapels.

This one was my very favorite chapel so far, so expansive.

I can't help but feel changed after a two hour garden excursion.

This was a journey worth going on, I would go again, and again.

Don't judge me. I'm on vacation.
