In the comics a LOT of people have wielded Mjolnir at various points. They get the full powers of Thor, including the ability to summon storms and lightning. That’s part of “the power of Thor,” and if you can use the hammer, you get that power. That’s the deal.

It’s written right on the goddamn thing, if I’m not mistaken.

“Whomsoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” This is what Odin says when he casts Thor out in the original film, so it holds that if you have the hammer you have Thor’s powers, including lightning magic.

<pedantry/> Melanin. Melatonin is that stuff that helps you sleep. But your point remains a good one. (Side note: why the hell is JD Martinez going? Is is just because he’s really into guns?)

The use of the term “veering out slightly” doesn’t come close to describing what happened, even if it does serve the article’s narrative. With three horses mounting a passing attempt to his outside, he veered out more than a full path, impeding one horse and crowding two others. The jockey on War of Will (#1) thought…

I mean, if this wasn’t the most famous horse race in America that decision would have been made in like 3 minutes

It was 100% the correct call. He impeded multiple horses swinging from the 2 position out to the 4 then back to the 1 and 2. It’s a DQ 100% of the time and it’s not even close. 

There it is.

My tv’s resolution wasn’t great, but generally it looked fantastic, even when I couldn’t see anything (in the sense that the characters also couldn’t see anything). The scenes with the Dothraki were especially great: Melisandre lighting all their swords on fire, and then all the fires getting snuffed out as they hit a…

Look, I know you flat-out don’t like him, but I’m sorry, he’s quite clearly not in early-stage dementia.

Perfect usage of the meme. 

this is a horrible take. College tuition shouldn’t have been allowed to inflate to the price it is currently in the first place. 18 year olds shouldn’t have mortgage level debt just from attending a 4-yr university. and before the “boot-strap, i bartended 8 days a week to pay off school and still took 20 hrs a…

What you label "reality" is, in reality, entitled bullshit. Just because you've bought into a disrespectful, unprofessional culture doesn't make you in the right. 

Nancy wants AOC and Omar to be the bogeyman of the party, that way she can demand more money from big oil/big healthcare to stop them.

First time I made it through the first form I of course thought that was it. I walked over to the body and slashed it. Right after I did it gets up and the second form started. I thought it was a secret or something because I slashed the dead body. Later of course I realized it always happens. Great boss. 

Be that as it may, the people who have been there for years are not going to be seeing it that way.

no, sexism, male entitlement, and self-importance made him do it.

Especially since there’s no guarantee he’d leave office if defeated. He’s flaunted dozens of laws to date and no one has been able to hold him accountable. Why would he stop now? Declare the election fraudulent, declare martial law and move on from there. Does ANYBODY really think that’s so unlikely?

God this moment was great - To all the haters and losers who thought Sanders going on Fox News was a mistake, he killed it tonight. 

Why are people still assuming Trump will get hits grand comeuppance? Is it movies? I realize that the bad guy loses at the end of most movie franchises, but that shit is written.
