Yeah, it’s rather atrocious. I had to dial back a few of the settings… just too much.

One of the final scenes of lava from the Kilauea south vent falling at the location of the v3 live stream camera on the rim of Halema'uma'u crater before the camera went offline.

Welp. So much for the v3 cam; it had a good run! #Kilauea #Eruption

Large lava fountains from the north and south vents of Kilauea's Halema'uma'u crater shoot orange, incandescent lava nearly 1000 feet into the air. A large tan cloud of ash and a white clout of steam and volcanic gasses billow behind it. Viewed from the v1 live stream camera operated by USGS and the Hawaii Volcano Observatory on YouTube.

Good grief! She's putting on a show this morning. WOW! #Kilauea #Eruption

In case you missed this cool moment, a really impressive explosive moment from Kilauea's south vent a few minutes ago. #Kilauea youtube.com/clip/Ugkxvcp...

The seeds of Sunsong Ranch have finally come ready to harvest, eh? Cool! Glad they finally did that. *Almost* makes me miss WoW!

The anniversary of SKELETON CREW reminded me of last years "I photoshop Neel into a movie where he doesn't belong" series I did. That was fun. SKELETON CREW was fun. Fun is cool.

Sounds divine!

A theme park with roller coasters is advertised for Black Friday, highlighting the sale of 2026 season passports starting November 19.

New post from Lagoon on Facebook with a policy update and a reminder of the upcoming Black Friday sale:

NEW TODDLER POLICY FOR 2026

A child under 24 months of age may enter Lagoon and participate on suitable rides, Lagoon A Beach a... https://lagoonisfun.com/2025/11/17/new-post-from-lagoon-on.html

Honestly, with the zoo gone now, I had a thought earlier that I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to finally get rid of the lake. That's a lot of real estate that could be opened for more midway/ride space. If they try adding rides around there, the geese coming into the lake may be a problem.

I never saw anything official either, but a certain mutual person we both know who works there posted on FB that the Wild Kingdom Train had officially run its last train. The locos and cars will supposedly be back in some other form in 2027, but the Wild Kingdom Train as it existed is no more.

Super bummed to hear that Wild Kingdom Train has left the station for the last time. I wish we'd have known; it would have been fun to get a chance to say farewell.

Seriously, right! I must have it now!

Happy World #TsunamiDay to all who celebrate - which should be all of us, because you never know where you'll be when disaster strikes. Preparedness and mitigation make us all safer regardless of where we live, especially as our world is increasingly connected on a global scale.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Y'all. It's the year of our Lord, 2025. It is dead simple to put up a website as a candidate explaining why you're running and where you stand on stuff. If you're not even going to bother to put in that effort, why should I spend one iota of a second considering you to run my town?

Somehow, Greedo returned.

Facebook post from Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah announcing the retirement of the “Jet Star 2” roller coaster ride at the upcoming end of the 2025 season.

Rest in peace, Jet Star 2.

Farewell to an iconic piece of roller coaster history. Thanks for all the whiplash!

#2 has been one of my daily goals for like a week now.

It has not gone well. 😐

Aww, really? That’s disappointing.

Put it on all the things! More naked aluminum aircraft liveries, please!

In case you need a little of the rebellion with you right now, may I offer you some trinkets? #StarWars #Andor yourweirdauntshop.etsy.com

Me, watching a Shawn Willsey YouTube video talking about strike & dip: "Oooh, that's a nifty compass. It would be fun to have one!"

Me, 5 minutes later, looking at the product website: "Oh. Never mind."
