This looks like a very interesting space mission. Dragonfly is going to be a big laboratory drone that will land on Saturn's moon Titan. It will be able to fly in 5 mi / 8 km distances between recharging on its nuclear generator. It is supposed to land on Titan in 2034.

Bats and dolphins are not the only mammals who can use biological sonar to echo locate.    Humans can learn to do it too.    Some Blind people such as Daniel Kish make clicking sounds with their tongue and uses the faint echo to paint their surroundings and do things sighted people can not, such as identify from a distance whether visually identical objects are made of metal or wood.     Some of those, Such as Ben Underwood, can do it with such dexterity, and process so much information from the echos so quickly, they can skateboard, play basketball, and ride bicycles.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the brains of human echo locators shows the primary visual cortex, part of the brain normally to process visual signals, have been repurposed to process auditory signals.    They literally see with sound.

Also, the fact that humans can learn to echo located has been known to academia since the 1940s. Prior to that, it had been long been observed that some blind people walking with the aid of taps of their cane can consistently avoid obstacles in their path without actually having come into contact with the obstacles using their cane.    The pervailing theory had been that these people had somehow sensitized their faces to tiny differences in airflow caused by nearby objects.    Experiments in the 1940s showed this was not so.   These people navigate using echos of the taps of their canes reflected back from the obstacles on their paths.

Thor’s screaming goats are one of the highlights of Thor: Love and Thunder. They’re not just comic relief, their origins go back to Norse mythology.

In Norse Mythology

In mythology, the immortal goats’ names are Tanngrisnir (teeth barer or snarler) and Tanngnjóstr (tooth grinder). They pulled Thor’s war chariot and served as one of the god’s food sources.

Screaming Goats Comic Origins

They don’t get a real origin story until 2011 in Journey Into Mystery #623. As children, Loki decided to play a trick on his brother (as he does constantly) to make him look like a fool. This time he convinced Thor that in order to impress everyone in the Nine Realms he should have unique steeds. Loki introduced him to the magical Lords of the Goats – Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.

It isn't as much fun to send poop in the mail when everyone in the UPS store knows you're shipping poop, and the addressee isn't Taylor Swift.

Jeremy is probably the most fundamentally decent member of the Armitage family from Get Out (which, given the nature of what they do, might not be that high of a bar to clear).

Yes, this guy.




I formulated a hypothesis after looking at the TVTropes page for the movie and finding out that, of all the members of the Armitage family mentioned in the film (except for Georgina, but that's mostly because we don't get much information about her), Jeremy was somehow the only one without their own entry in the Complete Monster category.

Hypothesis, inspired partly by this scene:



Something I learned about from Last Podcast on the Left, Jeffrey Dahmer had some... mixed feelings about the crimes he committed. Not enough to try stopping them, of course, but evidently enough that he had to get drunk just so he could kill them. Notice that Jeremy's clearly drunk for most of his screen time. Putting it together, Jeremy has some qualms about participating in the Coagula procedure (nowhere near enough to truly redeem him, mind you), but evidently, his getting wasted is his way of creating his own Sunken Space for that part of his mind. And, while Jordan Peele didn't confirm that theory in the commentary, he did confirm that he saw Jeremy as the only member of the family who might have rebelled or questioned the morality of what he was doing at any point.

That said, while it's very difficult to find out exactly why Jeremy was rejected for Complete Monsterhood (the thread on TVTropes' website, while still there, is obscenely long and impossible to search), it's probably for a simpler reason: unlike Rose, he actually seemed to feel grief for the death of his parents.

I learned that NORML got off the ground with a 5K grant from the Playboy Foundation in the 70s.
