#Etna update 🌋
#INGV reported that a new eruptive vent has opened near Mt. Simone at ~2,100 m a.s.l., feeding a lava flow down the Valle del Bove. The most advanced front has reached 1,500–1,400 m a.s.l.
INGV teams are currently on site monitoring the flow’s evolution.

Just after midnight on 1 January 2026, a new eruption started from #Etna's eastern flank: a fissure opened at ~2100 m elevation, and a lava flow is descending through the desert-like Valle del Bove. Photos taken in the evening of 1 January from Etna's east and southeast flanks

So, I did this. First time I got "wolfish". Wasn't sure what to make of that, so I did it again. Got "melancholic". Thought that was depressing. Third time? "Melancholic". Well, dammit. Fourth time ... "perilous." Stop. Must stop now or I might destroy the universe in 2026.
LET'S. GO.

#2 of 2025: "Burnin' Up" by the Boojums from the Boojums. The first version I heard of this banger featured the band's first drummer. The second version is more polished, less garage, but it is still an absolute monster.

If you were like me in junior high/high school and set a VCR to tape "120 Minutes" every Sunday and then taped the audio onto a cassette so you could listen to it on the bus/in the car, then this is for you: 120minutes.org

#6 of 2025: "The Flood" by Ben Caplan from The Flood. Talk about a dark horse. I randomly ran across this and like passing too close to a black hole, I was trapped. Ben Folds merged with Tom Waits? That might be the closest I can get here. And the video is [chef's kiss]. youtu.be/FRD0W2-tr64?...
