Every generation has their "bi-level" haircut. From the bowl-cut to the faux hawk to the long bangs/short sides emo "swoop"--all the way to this, the 20s broccoli. There's also sometimes the mullet they try to pass off as a "wolf cut." Sure, kid.

Every so often Costco will have a single-origin Ethiopian that is really good. Been a couple years since they had it, though

Only time I've had scrapple was in Philly, at a diner. And it was delicious.

He's also apparently a giant in that image.

My guess is that he emptied the waste compartment on the space station after "executive time" and the screens are showing the result.

Totally. Not trying to defend the guy, just sharing the story. Just seems super convenient. Why not tell the people yelling at you that you're trying to protect the turtles? Why are we only now hearing about this? Seems like the sort of story one of my kids would come up with to try and get themselves off the hook.

Swimming pool. Surrounded by seals trained to throw rocks.

We'll let Pele sort out how to pronounce that name!

"NOAA, huh? You guys give the weather report. You can't do nothing to me!" spits

"You know what NOAA stands for? No Assholes Abided!" firefight ensues

There was that story of da guy who killed one on Moloka'i. Was like last year, two years, yeah? Never found em. Local guy I think.

"Eh, get cracks!"

Saw that the local guy is also not having any charges pressed against him for this. Love to see it.

I live on O'ahu and I'll never forget the first time I encountered a monk seal while surfing. It was near sunset and I was kind of off by myself, away from the rest of the crowd. I heard a sound of heavy breathing from behind me and I thought that maybe someone was paddling up. Nope, it was a seal.

At first my brain couldn't make sense of it. I grew up in Florida and so immediately thought it was a manatee (for some reason I thought monk seals were like sea lion size or something smaller and leaner), but I knew this was impossible. Then it yawned and I saw its sizable teeth and realized what it was. It was funny because it was about that time that it realized I was looking at it and it had this "oh shit!" look in its eyes. We gave each other a cautious side-eye just before it went back underwater and swam away.

These things are big. What would possess someone to think they can approach one is beyond me. A couple years ago there was a story of a lady out swimming in Waikiki and she apparently wandered into an area where a recently born seal was on the beach. The mother messed her up, iirc.

His defense attorney is saying that the dude was trying to scare away the seal because he thought it was hurting some sea turtles. Story is here. Found this when I was looking for yesterday's story quoting the dude as saying "I can afford the fines" when he was confronted by some local people.

Not sure I buy this. But, we'll see.
