Just heard the most beautiful factually correct but functionally wrong news love on NPR. They were talking about the Hawaii eruption and ended with ...but what about Washington's six volcanoes? Washington residents shouldn't be too concerned, as our volcanoes erupt far less frequently and with less magma than Hawaii....

Both points factually correct, but considering our volcanoes tend to erupt only once with a very big kaboom and megatons of Ash and pumice, not nearly so helpful as it sounds.

I am giddy with excitement. The falcon heavy launch was a full success.

Blegh. I have death plague today. Please observe all physical, emotional, and memetic biohazard safety precautions.

@memnus That looks really good :)

To echo @starkatt 'The Long Dark' is one of the first survival games I have ever played that actually feels like a real survival situation.

An interesting idea came up during a discussion about various identity politics in the AHWW, ALF, furry and otherkin communities during the 90's 00's and now as the groups changed and bro just e up over time.
I think there could be a very interesting sociology paper framing various 90's and 00's groups of therians/furs/otherkin in terms of millennial/ 2012 cult. I am not sure if I fully agree with the thesis, but it would be very interesting to explore the similarities and differences.
