In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and
locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion
international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination.
Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the
project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.
Building the airport in this location will destroy an
ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and
routes.
Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the
nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with
ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause
incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and
beauty of the area.
The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.
But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]
It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.
SO YOU FOOLS WANT US TO BELIEVE ARYA “I CAN BE YOUR FAMILY” STARK AND JAIME “IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOURS” LANNISTER DIDN’T LOVE GENDRY AND BRIENNE HAHAHAHAHAHA.
*Maisie Williams voice* Audience is too smart to believe that.
- the night king being hyped up as the biggest threat for 8 seasons? POINTLESS
- cersei being the original mad queen and being hyped up as the biggest human threat? POINTLESS
- jaime’s character development and 8-year long redemption arc? POINTLESS
- bran becoming the three-eyed raven? POINTLESS
- jon being brought back from the dead for a higher purpose? POINTLESS
- arya leaving braavos and instead choosing her family and home? POINTLESS
- the starks going through hell for years and years waiting to be reunited? POINTLESS because they were reunited for like 5 minutes before being separated again
- daenerys overcoming all the terrible things that happened to her, bringing magic back to the world, going from nothing to becoming one of the most powerful people on earth, pledging to break the wheel, learning the moral difficulties of ruling, trying hard not to be like her father? POINTLESS
BUT HEY AT LEAST BRONN GOT HIS CASTLE SO IT’S ALL GOOD
I am not a religious man so when I beseech the heavenly father to bless these precious precocious children and always keep them pure of heart and safe from harm you know I mean business.
I don’t know what this is from but it’s the gayest start to a fight I’ve ever seen
The film is titled My Lucky Stars. it’s the second of a trilogy starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Samo Hung.
That gorgeous lady is Michiko Nishiwaki. She’s an actress, a fight choreographer, a stunt woman, a martial artist and a former bodybuilder.
She doubled for Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angels.
And, yes, i will add this information to this post every time it crosses my dash (this is the third time now) because I think this woman deserves a lot more recognition that she gets. She was Japan’s first female bodybuilding champion and first female powerlifting champion.
And also because this is one of my favourite martial arts movies. :-)
what if the teenage mutant ninja turtles exist in the mcu but they’re just really good at staying under the radar and criminals are too embarrassed to admit they got beat up by some guys in “turtle costumes” so they blame daredevil. peter parker worked as a pizza delivery boy for a while and brought like eight pizzas to a man hole cover but thought nothing of it bc nyc
peter parker: i once was one minute late delivering pizza and the dude was like “forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza”
clint barton: oh cool u met one of the tmnt
literally everyone: who
clint: am i the only one in this goddamn city who knows about the crimefighting turtles that live in the sewers
(they all think clint is playing an elaborate prank on them, especially when he shows them a photo of four guys wearing what are ‘very obviously halloween costumes’)
fun fact: it’s TMNT canon that the chemical container that hit Matt Murdock across the face and gave him his Daredevil abilities is the same canister that landed on the baby turtles and mutated them, so…..y’all aren’t far off
i’m sorry it’s WHAT
TMNT started as a Daredevil parody.
Matt’s teacher is Stick. The turtle’s is Splinter.
Matt’s enemy is the Hand. The turtle’s is the Foot Clan.
It was originally a dark, edgy, turtle themed parody of Daredevil.
