Massive Kileuea Eruption Predicted

If it wasn't for the very real possibility of the loss of life and property, this would be mad cool to see.

Quote:Thousands of people living on and visiting the Big Island of Hawai'i are getting ready for what could soon be a major volcanic eruption. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has raised Kilauea’s alert level to Code Orange. This level means that an eruption is expected soon, possibly within days. Scientists say that if it happens, fountains of lava could shoot as high as 1,500 feet into the air. That’s taller than the Empire State Building in New York City. According to the USGS, the possible eruption window lasts through November 28.

Clickbait BS. Here's the actual USGS bulletin, which warns of precisely bugger all.

The actual event was called Episode 37, which was a pretty cool lava fountain that I watched a couple of days ago on Youtube. Kilauea has been erupting episodically every few weeks in this fashion for a few years now. It slowly inflates, and then eventually erupts, and deflates again. It's spectacular to watch, but rarely has much effect outside the crater other than vog and a little ash. Right now, Kilauea has gone quiet for the next few days because the pressure was released during the lava fountaining. It's slowly inflating toward the eagerly awaited Episode 38, which will probably occur sometime before Christmas.

There is no indication that Kilauea is becoming more active and there are no heightened evacuation alerts. It's literal fake news and the person who wrote it should be ashamed.

And yes, it's very cool to see. I'd love to be able to see it in person, but until then, enjoy the USGS webcams.

I just remembered that episode 37 gave us this. Apparently, somebody on reality's dev team thought that a lava fountain wasn't terrifying enough on its own.

I happily bow to your superior geocological knowledge!

Sagrada Familia has surpassed Ulm Minster in being the tallest christian church on the planet.

^They both pale in comparison to the Dmamma el Djazair mosque.

The NFL's Latest Nad-Rattler To Trump

Quote:Donald Trump detractor and country-rock singer Brandi Carlile is one of three performers the NFL has named for its Super Bowl’s pre-game show on Feb. 8.

On Monday, Carlile announced on Instagram Stories that she would be singing “America the Beautiful” before the game. Other performers joining her before the game kicks off include Coco Jones and Charlie Puth—but Carlile will be the most vocal anti-MAGA celebrity to take the stage.

The LGBTQ icon has not wavered from her scathing criticisms of Trump and his rise to power since he was first elected in 2016. In October of this year, Carlile summed up her thoughts on the state of America with the song "Church and State" —an indictment of Christian nationalism. She sings on the track, “And they don’t see what we see, but we believe, we believe that they’re not gonna live forever / Burn tomorrow, never say / They’re here today, then they’re gone forever.”
