Mount Fagradalsfjall

Iceland Volcano by Robert Runarsson

Maybe you’ve missed watching the Mount Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland that’s been erupting for nearly two months, if you have, you are missing out on some of the most beautiful displays of raw primal nature humanity has ever captured. The still image [click it to watch a 4k video shot by a drone looking into the cone or click the hotlink below] is barely representative of the awe induced by watching the 2-minute clip. Be sure to watch the clip in 4k if you have the resolution, you won’t be disappointed.

Or maybe you want to see a drone fly right overhead through erupting lava? Stop and consider that never before in the history of our species has any previous human being ever seen anything like this!

Maybe gazing upon lava rivers is more to your liking? Click below and be sure to watch FULL SCREEN.

Earth Day?

Trash

I’m not happy that today is Earth Day. The idea that only one day a year should be singled out as being special for recognition that the Earth deserves acknowledgment. We do that for dead deities, magic creatures, mythical entities, celebrations of conquering idiots, and our pointless birthdays. The people of Earth spend over $1 trillion on Christmas to celebrate giving gifts for some vague tradition represented by some creeper fuck in a red suit. Earth Day will see humanity simply consume away with all of the abandon of a swarm of locust clearing a field of the last remaining morsels on some random summer day. I wonder if they call that Earth Day too?

Let’s get real, Greta Thunberg cares more and has done more than 500 million people in my age group. How is it a 16-year-old Swedish girl is able to shoulder a greater responsibility to Earth than billions of us stupid locusts who are scouring the globe for every last morsel in our quest to be so unsustainable that we are the most likely cause of the 6th Great Extinction?

We are a collective of populist troglodytes oblivious to our potential and the wonderment this planet delivers to us every day. Every day should be Earth Day, but that would require an education where compassion and empathy are hallmarks of greatness instead of putting on a pedestal the destroyers of life and environment known as corporate titans, who through their earnings are considered gods and kings. Give me a break. We are a species that shows amazing potential, but on the whole, we are the scourge of the Earth. If I were an animal, insect, or plant I’d be celebrating Rid The Earth of Humans Day.
