Ok, but we’re not talking about Houston. That’s where the real humidity is.

Shallow hail fog briefly formed this evening in Gunbarrel after accumulating hail and more than 1" of rain pummeled the area.

Hail fog is an unusual type of fog that forms shortly after a heavy hailstorm as the stones cool the air just above the ground to the dew point, resulting in fog #COWX

DC's air quality last night was around the worst in the country because of the fireworks... CODE PURPLE or hazardous.

It was still CODE RED this morning will improve today as the smoke disperses.

"I love thresher sharks because they look how I constantly feel." and a photo of a thresher shark from the side profile, showing only one eye, a slightly open mouth and snubby little nose.
I think there's a watermark that says Paul Flandinette?

"I love thresher sharks because they look how I constantly feel." and a photo of a thresher shark from the side profile, showing only one eye, a slightly open mouth and snubby little nose. I think there's a watermark that says Paul Flandinette?

This meme asks a really good question about why the thresher shark has such expressive eyes & why those eyes always seem so concerned or shocked.

What's up, in other words, with the squaliform side-eye?

I have an answer!

Where do swear words come from?
YouTube video by Words Unravelled with RobWords and Jess Zafarris Where do swear words come from?

Wind F*cker is an old name for the Kestrel and I think we need to bring that back.

Need a laugh? Want to learn where the word f*ck really comes from? Check out the history of swear words.

I honestly think part of the seductiveness of A.I. for people is the idea you can skip that vulnerableness you need to experience in order to grow as an artist.
