Continuum 1x08
Kellog: I made you some breakfast.
Kiera: What do you want, Matthew?
Kellog: Okay… I’ve been thinking about, about you… About you and me.
Kiera: There is no you and me.
Kellog: Yet… here you are. So…
Kiera: I thought maybe you called because you wanted to return something you stole.
Kellog: Your heart?
Oh my god, these two! This show is unexpectedly fantastic and I am shipping these two like nobody’s business. Just make out already, please!!
Underwater Rivers?
A group of amateur cave explorers discovered a river in Mexico with banks, trees and leaves just like an ordinary river, but with an additional metric shit ton of “WTF,” because they were hovering 25 feet over it in scuba gear when they discovered it.
While underwater water doesn’t seem possible, the “river” is actually a briny mix of salt water and hydrogen sulfide. It’s much more dense than regular salt water, so it sinks to the bottom and forms a distinct separation that acts and flows like a river.
Deep sea lakes look like normal lakes, complete with sandy and rocky shores. Scientist call these lakes “cold seeps,” but they’re a hotbed for life, because apparently waterfront real estate is a hot commodity under water, too. The “rocky” shores are actually made up of hundreds of thousands of mussels. Even weirder, the lakes under the waves have waves of their own.

WTF, nature. Why so awesome/mind-boggling?

8-year-old Follows Tenn. Lawmaker Until He Drops Bill Linking Welfare to School Grades
Last week I wrote about a bill in Tennessee that would cut welfare benefits from parents with children performing poorly in school. The bill cleared both the House and Senate committees but yesterday the lawmaker behind the bill dropped his support for the bill, claiming further research on the impact on families was necessary.
However, The Tennessean reports Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) may have dropped the bill because of a powerful 8-year-old girl:
Before Thursday’s session, activists organized a demonstration in the corridors of Legislative Plaza and the state Capitol. An 8-year-old girl confronted Campfield with a petition signed by opponents of the bill, and a choir of about 60 people, including some in clerical garb, sang “Jesus Loves the Little Children” outside the Senate chamber as lawmakers filed in.
Campfield walked away from the confrontation, saying repeatedly that he didn’t think children should be used as political props. But it was a long walk, and the confrontation extended over several minutes as video cameras recorded the back-and-forth.
“Why do you want to cut benefits for people?” 8-year-old Aamira Fetuga asked Campfield after she chased him up a Capitol escalator.
Fetuga went on to follow Campfield after the camera stop rolling.
Campfield says he withdrew his bill because he didn’t have a full understanding of how the law would affect groups.
“Did I know what the final result was going to be? No, I never do,” Campfield said on the Senate Floor on Thursday. “I got a lot of good feedback from people. … I think a lot of people were really close (to supporting it) but were just looking for a little bit more.”
That lil sistah straight SONNED him!
Go girl. I am proud of you.
Amazing.

I don’t even watch this show, but DAMN.
DAYUM.
I think I’ve listened to this about 12 times already and I’m still going strong. This is probably the most incredible performance I’ve ever seen from a reality show.
Amy Poehler, you beautiful person. I’m learning this exact lesson lately. So important.
I adore her.

Yeah, such a bizarre and perfect line. And so spot-on for the character, too.

Cameron and Kellog. I didn’t know I shipped it until I started screaming “KISS!” at the tv whenever they had a scene together.

Do you want to sit like this for the rest of our lives?
