Just hear me out, ik this sounds like a shitpost but.. Rover and Shiro were both: 1) Made to serve the Galra, 2) Was found on a Galra ship and 3) Helped save some prisoners 4) Close to Pidge. 

so what if, like Rover, Shiro was replaced by a clone version to infiltrate the team and make them trust him just to ruin everything from the inside

AND both were hacked by the Galra to do this

Rover ruined shit for the team for a good couple episodes after blowing up the crystal (which was the main source of power for the team!!) until the real Rover sacrificed himself to save the team

NO NO DON’T TELL ME ROVER WAS FORESHADOWING WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN TO SHIRO NOOOOOOOO

The entirely unnecessary demise of Barnes & Noble

audreyii-fic:

“Whether the Andrea Gail rolls,
pitch-poles, or gets driven down, she winds up, one way or another, in a
position from which she cannot recover. Among marine architects this is known
as the zero-moment point – the point of no return.” –Sebastian Junger, “The
Perfect Storm”

Posts like this aren’t my usual fare, but there’s a lot of
readers on Tumblr. So y’all might be interested – or, if not, you really should
be.

On Monday, this went down:

That’s the bloodless, matter-of-fact, ho-hum business event
way of describing it. Let me paint you a different picture.

On Monday morning, every single Barnes & Noble location –
that’s 781 stores – told their full-time employees to pack up and leave. The
eliminated positions were as follows: the head cashiers (those are the people
responsible for handling the money), the receiving managers (the people
responsible for bringing in product and making sure it goes where it should),
the digital leads (the people responsible for solving Nook problems), the newsstand
leads (the people responsible for distributing the magazines), and the bargain
leads (the people responsible for keeping up the massive discount sections). A
few of the larger stores were able to spare their head cashiers and their
receiving managers, but not many.

Just about everyone lost between 3 and 7 employees. The
unofficial numbers put the total around 1,800 people.

People.

We’re not talking post-holiday culling of seasonal workers.
This was the Red Wedding. Every person laid off was a full-time
employee
. These were people for whom Barnes & Noble was a career.
Most of them had given 5, 10, 20 years to the company. In most cases it was
their sole source of income.

There was no warning.

But it gets worse.
