tilthat:

TIL of Thad Roberts, a former NASA intern who spent 6 years in prison for stealing 17 lbs of moon rocks. He wanted to ‘give the moon’ to a girl he liked, so they stole the rocks together, spread them across his bed, had sex on top of them, and then tried to sell them online to undercover FBI agents

top 5 sokka moments, top 10 cute animals (you can do both or one, it’s nbd)

Saturday, January 23rd, 2021

Sokka is the best boy and I could talk about him forEVER

  1. When he drank the cactus juice
  2. Everything about the Day of the Black Sun: discovering the eclipse, coming up with the plan, INVENTING THE FUCKING SUBMARINE, and eventually leading the invasion.
  3. When he came up with not one but TWO plans to escape a prison no one else had ever escaped (the first plan would have worked if the others werent idiots)
  4. When he (correctly) wanted to stick to the schedule and not take on any side quests they didn’t have time for but also threw the schedule out the window to be there for his little sister
  5. When he added the rainbow to the painting he made for Piandao.

Cute animals – not necessarily top 10, just ten i like a whole lot and think are cute.

  1. Stingrays (they’re cute okay)
  2. Penguins (i nearly cried over a baby penguin last year)
  3. Axolotl
  4. Echidna
  5. Puppies (all breeds)
  6. Panda
  7. Red panda
  8. Koala
  9. Elephants
  10. Monkeys (but only the smart ones)
  11. Mola Mola lmao just kidding

Send me my top 5/10 anything

dearemma:

This was the conclusion of the first series of reflection. This was the knowledge of herself,
on the first question of inquiry, which she reached; and without being long in reaching it.—
She was most sorrowfully indignant; ashamed of every sensation but the one revealed to
her—her affection for Mr. Knightley

In today’s final Prada Cup race, the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic were in the lead and headed into the final leg when they capsized dramatically while turning through what should have been the final gate. The boat went airborne and crashed down hard. The crew were all able to get off safely, and the boat was flipped back upright, but it is taking on water and support boats from all four teams are working to keep it afloat. If the boat can be pumped dry, it can ideally be towed back to the dock and repaired. 

If it cannot be put into racing condition by the time racing restarts five days from now, the team would presumably race with their older test boat.

NZ Stuff live updates here.

Sailors from the defending Team New Zealand, who were not racing today, are on scene assisting American Magic crew with the recovery:

She’s now starting the slow tow home. Also, huge props to the NZ Coastguard, Police, and Firefighters, along with all the team support crews who were crucial in her not going down.

Looks like she’s going to make it. A very difficult situation for the crew, but as long as they are all unhurt and their boat gets back to base intact, they will be able to start over.

Huge respect to all of the crews for pitching in to help a competitor and to the Auckland emergency services.

Also:

:’-)

Seeing this, I’m all the more amazed that they managed to save her. Well done to everyone involved

it realy is a HOLE! I saw footage of the crane lifting it to the dock, and thought it was a reflection. how and what made a hole like that???

The battery for their foiling cant arm went through the hull when they slammed down (pre capsize)

Damn! No wonder it took them so long to limp home. Does anyone know if they can forfeit the remaining round robin and come back for the elimination rounds (I couldn’t see anything obvious DoG protocols).

I think they could either forfeit or choose to race with Defiant, their test boat. It’s up to them.
