Lewis Black - Black To The Future

Scientists invented fabric that makes electricity from motion and sunlight. To create the fabric, researchers at Georgia Tech wove together solar cell fibers with materials that generate power from movement. It could be used in “tents, curtains, or wearable garments,” meaning we’d virtually never be without power. Source

We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

Reasons to watch Nickelodeon's show Bella and the Bulldogs

Female football player. To be specific, the team’s quarterback. Not only is she tough, but she also keeps her feminine side. So she isn’t a girl who’s like ‘ewww makeup and skirts’. She’s more of a,” Shabooya, touchdowns and tiaras!!” She used to be a cheerleader.

The three main girls Bella, Pepper, and Sophie are really close and stick together and promote girl power.

Bella Dawson, the main character, is shown play with her dad football as a little girl and she has always loved football so her talent in the game isn’t just something they pulled out of nowhere.

The cast is super diverse!! Half the cast is a person of color.

A main character is adopted by an interracial couple.

They boys in the team didn’t want Bella on the team all of course. Troy, who used to be their quarterback, was one of the first to accept her into the team and let her play when they were playing an important game.

The boys have total respect for Bella’s privacy in the locker room, and they even built her her own little closet space for her to get dressed.

The main character has a single mother.

A boy on the football team is pretty sensitive.

The show is aimed towards little girls who will see that a girl is capable of being on the football team and being a quarterback. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

One of the side characters who is also a PoC, said on the show that he has two dads.
