Andrew Lincoln acceptance speech?

Does anyone have any info on what Andrew Lincoln said during his award acceptance? Curious.

Also, *super* happy he got a gorgeous, new, non-shiny blue suit!

Starz is looking to build buzz for the project by promoting the search for the right actor to limn the lead character with the social-media effort #CastingShadow, inviting fans to weigh on who should get the gig.

Starz is finally finally FINALLY moving ahead with American Gods!!! (http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/neil-gaiman-american-gods-bryan-fuller-starz-1201520765/) So get those fancast gifsets out of your archive and start tweeting so that maybe they don’t cast the same white bread and mayonnaise sandwich you know they want to cast?????

OK, this will require some thought... :)

I always struggle with how much to share of myself and my beliefs on social media. I know that will seem strange to some of you, as I very strongly passionately and fearlessly share my opinions about art and culture, but I try to not share my beliefs unless I know I’m in a friendly audience. I consider this to be cowardly, craven behaviour, and I should expect much more from myself. So, here goes… I… Am an Atheist. I cannot be anything else. I know most of you have heard my story of not sticking around in mum’s church for too long, (the story of me always being the kid in Sunday School waving the latest National Geographic and saying, “that can’t be, because Dr. Leakey said…” are totally true,) but I have always had a deep love of the sciences, and an intense curiosity about the universe that could never be satisfied with the kind of faith that being Religious requires. Now, having said that, I have or have had friends and family of every religious stripe imaginable, from Catholics to Buddhists, from Evangelicals to Wiccan, and I respect and love them all. I respect their right to believe in what they choose, and to practise those beliefs. I have to draw the line in the sand, however, when anyone tries to claim that their beliefs and their right to practise their religion supersede the rights of others to do the same. Which brings us to Kim Davis, and this article which has driven me to express my beliefs as more than liking the occaisional humorous post of others. What Lawrence Krauss says here is very important, and I urge you all to read and consider his words, even if you think you will disagree with them. Within, he states: “Ultimately, when we hesitate to openly question beliefs because we don’t want to risk offense, questioning itself becomes taboo.” I couldn’t agree more, or be more frightened of a possible outcome. Thanks for your time, and I extend love and friendship to you all.

All Scientists Should Be Militant Atheists

Ultimately, when we hesitate to openly question beliefs because we don’t want to risk offense, questioning itself becomes taboo. It is here that the imperative for scientists to speak out seems to me to be most urgent. As a result of speaking out on issues of science and religion, I have heard from many young people about the shame and ostracism they experience after merely questioning their family’s faith. Sometimes, they find themselves denied rights and privileges because their actions confront the faith of others. Scientists need to be prepared to demonstrate by example that questioning perceived truth, especially “sacred truth,” is an essential part of living in a free country.

Slytherin Characteristics

Slytherins often feel like they have too much responsibility on their shoulders.

Common Slytherin Boggarts: Failure, death, being trapped, wasps/bees, being buried alive, and being alone.

Slytherins are more likely to develop OCD or Depression.

Some common Slytherin talents are acting, writing, playing piano, and dancing. Things that require great skill and practice.

Slytherins are firm believers in, “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.”

Slytherin’s can’t keep a secret unless it’s their own, in which case they guard it with their lives.

Slytherin’s don’t “Forgive and Forget.” If you did it once, you can do it again.

Most Slytherins can be really friendly. (To those people who deserve it.)

Slytherins fear facing you after you’ve seen them cry.

Slytherins aren’t assholes, people are just too sensitive.

Slytherins are likely to come up with ‘What if?’ scenarios. These thoughts might even keep them up at night.

Slytherins can’t stand it when people ask stupid questions, especially when the answer is obvious.

Slytherins fear failure.

Slytherins are their own worst critics.

Slytherins are often very misunderstood.

Slytherins keep arguing even when they know they’re wrong.

It’s typical of a Slytherin to struggle with religion; they have difficulty putting faith into things that they can’t explain.

Slytherins don’t get mad; they get even.

A Slytherin won’t forgive you for causing them pain until they’re sure you’ve recieved just as much (or more).

Sometimes Slytherins keep fighting long after they’ve forgotten what they were fighting for/about.

Slytherins are likely the most stubborn and persistent type of people.

When upset, Slytherins detach themselves from everything. If someone asks what’s wrong, they’ll lash out.

Many Slytherins use music and lyrics to express themselves.

Slytherins hate to be told, “You don’t understand” or having their competence questioned. 

Slytherins have an odd interest in the mentally ill/disturbed.

Slytherins tend to believe that they’re never good enough.
