Penguins on a "Blue Iceberg" caused by thousands of years of compression
The interesting shapes are caused from wave action below and wind erosion above, where the waves cannot reach.
The blue color occurs mostly in very old ice from a very deep glacier and is the result hundreds or even thousands of years of compression and ongoing thawing and refreezing of the ice. Over time, these processes release much of the air that was originally trapped by the falling snow. As this happens, the reflective surfaces of our "snowflakes" disappear. The ability to reflect light exists only when there is air between the surfaces of the ice crystals. This very, very old, and very, very dense ice is no longer capable of reflecting light. So it no longer appears white.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene." https://t.co/O6UB4REvJf
Another angle of federal agents killing a Minnesota legal observer, which appears to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk.

@MovieFlameProd I found this article & others about Percy Jackson having very high viewership on Disney+ (only beaten by Ahsoka) & it’s giving me hope that a season 2 will happen! Thoughts?

A big difference between Democrats and Republicans is Democrats are wishing Mitch McConnell well after possibly having a stroke. Republicans continue to attack Senator John Fetterman after having his.
I'm not going to wish Mitch McConnell ill. But I am going to point out a man who has worked tirelessly to deny affordable health insurance to tens of millions of Americans will now receive the best medical care in the world on the taxpayers' dime.
I'll tell you this: None of us like Mitch McConnell because of the horrible things he's said and done as Senator.
But he had a medical incident today, and I saw a lot of well-wishers on our side. As it should be.
But when Senator John Fetterman had a medical episode, there were legions of Republicans who made fun and mocked him.
We are NOT the same.
This is Hachikō. He was an Akita born on Nov. 10, 1923 in Japan. He was sold to Hidesaburo Ueno, a scientist at the University of Tokyo. Ueno named him Hachi after the number 8, which is considered lucky in Japan, and the two became inseparable...
My father Neal Kirby (Jack Kirby’s son) has asked me to post this written statement in response to the Stan Lee documentary released yesterday on Disney+.
@cat_auras That’s Shadow on the left who just had his 8th birthday 🥰 (that’s a normal position for him 😅) & that’s Stinky on the right who actually passed away 8 years ago (he didn’t like other cats, I got Shadow as a kitten 4 months after Stinky passed away)
