Clear eyes, full hearts.

Beastie I be.

Licensed to Ill was one of the first records I bought when I was able (on cassette!). I remember how all the kids were obsessed with memorizing the lyrics to Paul Revere. I think I still know them 25 years later.

The cool and surprising thing was how the Beastie Boys stayed so good and relevant throughout the rest of my life until now. I really felt like we grew up together, from kids on a playground to adults with our heads perked up into the wider world. Hot Sauce Committee was one of my favorite records just LAST YEAR. And it was still so much fun even while things in the world and with them personally haven’t been great. That’s been a big lesson I’ve learned from the Beastie Boys: even when things are bad, it’s still possible (hell, encouraged) to be joyful and make some noise.

Their music brought me/us so much unmitigated joy. I can’t think of a better word or another group that did the same so well, so authentically, for so long. It’s going to be a poorer world without Nathanial Hörnblowér and Adam Yauch, but mostly without MCA & his band. #RIPMCA

“For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.

And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.”

The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world....

The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.

The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.

They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.

That is terrifying.

NOPE!
