One of the best paragliding videos I've seen. Although I think hang gliding gives you more of that super man feeling tbh. But paragliding is it's own kind of awesome

Astronomers call this planet a "Tidarren" world. It is probably the remains of a former star that was eroded down to planet size by its cannibalistic companion star. 🧪🔭

OK, so a magnitude 33 earthquake would release about 2×10^54 joules.
That's (plus or minus) about ten billion times more energetic than a Type Ia supernova.
Aside from being physically impossible, it's enough energy to vapourise the entire Solar System.

Let's meet my friend Tanystropheus, a archosauromorph reptile from the Triassic.
You may notice that Tany is looooooooong, with some specimens being 6 m (20 ft) long, while only weighing 30-70 kg (65-150 lbs).
Which led me to an interesting question:
How do LONG-NECKERS like Tany BREATHE?

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
