The Fallout TV series asks many questions. Like "Who is the protagonist, and who is following the companion NPC's plotline?"

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I love this YouTube series where great drummers are played classic songs with the drum parts edited out, and they have to improvise new ones.
Kriss initially struggles to figure it out, but then conjures up a fantastic arrangement with great toms worthy of Keith Moon youtu.be/sHU4re5lOpE?...

10.8 million families! Not individuals! That means that about a quarter to a third of the population use Twitter as their main news source.
Have they ever *met* anyone in the UK? Even at the absolute height of People Using Twitter that would obviously be nonsense!

If there is an argument then this is the argument. But lol I can’t find where this obviously false stat is coming from. And if the government does believe more than half the families in the UK are using it as their primary news source then woah maybe time to up the scrutiny of it!

This Red Sonja movie has some of the most wildly fluctuating accents I've ever heard. Including from actors who've been able to maintain an accent in other things. It's awesome/dreadful.

Vanilla Ice is not a surprise, but Michelangelo? That one hurts. Definitely not radical.

Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.
