"Brolga the Kangaroo Man" (Chris Barns) runs the Kangaroo Sanctuary at Alice Springs in Central Australia.
Little orphan-roo Mindy shows off the sounds that joeys use to call for mom, something like pushing a grocery cart with a wobbly wheel.
βββββ Adorable. Would hug.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. π§΅
Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing).
The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.
Riveting TV and I'm not joking...
Girardi: "What was easier for you, facing Randy Johnson or putting this tie on?"
Kruk: "Oh, Randy. A lot easier than this"
BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.
These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). π§ͺπΏ
A tourist was seriously injured after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park.
Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident.
Pay careful attention to the SHAPES of the scales on this saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus).
See how they're regular on the neck & back, but irregular polygons on the face/head? Why do you think that is?
As of 2012, we have an answer! A special process guides scale formation on the head.
Weβve proven that a catch-all called βpoliceβ doesnβt work. They think anyone not them is a criminal. They protect property over people. They turn into extortion groups.
I want crisis managers dealing with domestic disputes. Addiction specialists dealing with addicts.
Police are skilled in none.
Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:
Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.
Gave this the soundtrack it deserves. Kubrick was onto something when he picked the Blue Danube as the Theme of Objects Floating In Space.
Call me, Nutella

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasnβt crazy in 1996 β but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
Melissa is now a rapidly intensifying hurricane, and it is plausible that it will produce an almost unimaginably bad outcome for Jamaica over the next 48 hours. Details below or at theeyewall.com.
Twenty years ago today, Hurricane #Wilma was intensifying and centered just north of the western tip of Cuba in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It was rapidly moving toward the Florida peninsula. This 9-day satellite loop covers Wilma's lifetime: it begins on Oct 15 and ends on Oct 24.
