Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

Anika Niles’ first show with RUSH was genuinely moving, not only because of the technical mastery it demanded but because it was the ultimate statement from the band to the (mostly) boys club that is the fanbase. A really great rock and pop culture moment, and the performance itself was a stunner.

Four-winged flying fish (tropical oceans) are remarkable they do not actually fly, but instead glide above the water. Using both their enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, these fish can reach speeds of 70 km/h and sore up to 400meters in this in a single sustained flight to escape predators.

What is the difference between an #eruption & an #episode? Over the last year & a half, the historic episodic eruption at the summit of #Kīlauea has had 49 episodes of lava fountaining. Why are these fountaining events considered episodes instead of separate eruptions, & what’s the difference?
