Two cats and some ice and a fish.

Thirty-five years ago today, Mount St. Helens in the Pacific Northwest erupted.
Below are a pair of images taken by some mountain climbers on nearby Mount Adams, which graphically demonstrate the sheer violence of the lateral blast: Quote:Tennie wrote:I just had a weird thought. Imagine a volcanic eruption of that magnitude happened here in the USA at this time. Can you imagine how the eruption would be mirrored on the social media networks? __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

Ahh, Adbusters, whatever would we do without your condescending anti-commercial slacktivism.....

I can't argue against the message. True.
However, I also can't do a damn thing about the underlying issues by adding slaves and chains to sponsors of an event that isn't even due to happen for seven years. And, anything I could make an effort to encourage my government to do that would have results as fast as they want them would send them into a screaming fit, the right into a "DON'T SPEND MONEY EVER!" spiral, and make the situation in Qatar *worse.* Meh. I'll drop it after this response. Otherwise we'll get punted right to the Politics forum.

The Fallout 4 Trailer inspired me to go on a zeerust/retreaux binge.

Those remind me of http://www.alexvaranese.com/work/alt1977]these ... although they're in a slightly later style.
