This is a video from the Biscuit Basin area of Yellowstone National Park of a hydrothermal explosion (caused when a quantity of hot water flashes to steam in a confined area) blasting boiling water, rocks, and mud into the air, sending tourists scrambling. The National Park Service has closed the area while the incident is investigated (Heck yeah, ask those rocks some questions — play good cop/bad cop!) and the walkway around the area is rebuilt. Thankfully, nobody was injured in the explosion. “Speak for yourself.” The mole people, everyone! Sometimes I forget about them because they live in my mind and only appear to conveniently end an article.
Is Netflix’s ‘The Decameron’ Based on a True Story?
Hold onto your hearts and holy relics, people, because history is about to get a lot more heated. With the success of summer hits like Bridgerton Season 3 and Prime Video’s My Lady Jane, Netflix is treating audiences to their latest dose of period drama with this week’s release of The Decameron. Created by Kathleen Jordan and produced by Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, the streamer’s latest series promises all the sinful lust and offbeat humor that’s helped to make the genre popular, featuring a cast of debauched characters led by Tony Hale and Sex Education‘s Tanya Reynolds. Yet, while the show’s medieval aesthetic and old-fashioned quirks might suggest otherwise, part of what makes Jordan’s series so unique is the fact that The Decameron is not, in fact, based on a true story.

Playing Volleyball On Water In The Middle Of A River
These are a couple videos from Ljubljana, Slovenia of volleyball being played on a platform in the middle of the Ljubljana River. That looks nice and refreshing! Plus the court has built-in lights for playing TRONBALL at night. Heck yeah! When in doubt, add more LED lights — that’s my motto. Sure, it makes sleeping at night hard because my room looks like the inside of a pinball machine during multiball, but I never slept well anyways.
