Scientists stunned by a massive hydrothermal field off Greece
Scientists have uncovered an extensive underwater vent system near Milos, Greece, hidden along active fault lines beneath the seafloor. These geological fractures act as pathways for hot, gas-rich fluids to escape, forming clusters of vents with striking visual diversity. The discovery surprised researchers, who observed boiling fluids and vibrant microbial mats during deep-sea dives. Milos now stands out as one of the Mediterranean’s most important sites for studying Earth’s dynamic interior.
This is fascinating, but it is not surprising. Most seams leak. If you want to find vent systems, identify underwater faultlines and check them for leaks.

Today is cloudy and cool. It spit snow a bit yesterday but didn't amount to anything.
I fed the birds. There was a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches perched in the forest garden waiting to be fed. :D
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 12/30/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

As of right now, 11:53am on Tuesday, December 30th, 2025 SquidgeWorld Archive is back up and running! If you see any oddities, please don't hesitate to let us know.
For transparency, here's basically what happened:
We should be good to go from here on out. This does make a redeployment of SqWA a higher priority. We're in the beginning stages of this. More information will come about when we're ready to go.
For transparency, here's basically what happened:
- The server had a hard disk corruption that had to be corrected
- Corrections were made, but there was an internal database that contained further corruption. The internal database was replaced with a backup so that the "redis" server (software that is required for SqWA to run) would come back up as well
- With all corruption errors addressed, the system processed the data chunks like it normally does when it comes up.

This poem was written outside the regular prompt calls. It fills "The Last Command" square in my 1-1-24 card for the Public Domain Bingo fest. It has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred. This is the third poem in the series Crystal Wood; it follows "Trees of Glass" and "Ghost Forests."
Warning: This poem is dark science fiction along the lines of ecological horror.

This is where I put I stopped on MAL/MU so I'm just going to trust it since it's so close to the end anyway. I do think I ended up just past the
Chapter 90 reread: I love how Mob is just 'Ritsu's brother' to Shou. XD
Dimple and Mob taking turns saving each other;;
"Nobody can rate someone else's thoughts as if it were a scoreboard!"
Mob was trying to calmly talk to Suzuki but then he talked down to Shou and that made Mob go to 77%. And Shou's face when he realized Mob was getting mad for him. Shou tried to jump in to help Mob but got smacked down. 😭
Reigen also tried to help but failed and got attacked, but Serizawa saved him! Aaand Mob reached 100%. Wait, has Reigen never seen him at that point?
Mob spotting Ritsu and remembering hurting him. 😭 He went from 100% Ecstasy to 100% Shame like whiplash.
Teru saying Mob is 'just a regular junior high student'. :')
The omake where they tried to influence their anime designs hahah. Dimple is...cute? Mob is muscular and Reigen is handsome.
Mob is so unbelievably kind. He can put himself in someone else's shoes and understand how and why he needs to make a move.
I missed this manga and the characters. I'm so grateful to this challenge for motivating me to go back into so much. ❤️️

Episode 10: Just casually shooting up Suika like that. 😭
So it's been 100 days since they took Xeno. And of course his first words (well, spoken anyway) to Stanley were questioning if he was slacking off lmao
Suika girl you really need a backup pair of glasses.
Xeno blames the higher-ups for not accepting his science inventions who instead sought 'power and conflict' but weren't all this inventions weapons of war?? Or did I misunderstand and he was forced down that path.
Stanley had the chance to shoot the last revival fluid but realized that Senkuu would revive Xeno again, and Xeno would get to continue making things with someone who understood him more than even him perhaps. The flashback to little Stanley watching little Xeno do science was sweet. It's clear that it was the boy who was passionate about all these things he was most interested in, not just what he could do.
I got chills as everyone turned to stone and then the little doggy and boar came along. 😭 And that poor cheetah got quite the fright!
Suika was way too young to be left alone like this ughh I know there was very little choice in the end but aHH.
Episode 11: Suika hugging Kohaku's statue 😭😭😭 She's the bravest little girl ever. Ughh my watery eyes.
Episode 12: Thinking about it, Suika is older than Mirai now.
I wonder why Senkuu decided to wait and revive them all at once instead of as he made the liquid? Honestly though I really like that he waited so everyone could reunite at once after that traumatic experience.
Tsukasa's first thought was Hyouga, and the look in his eyes...I see why people ship them. And Hyouga indulging them with his catch phrase lol
Tsukasa's image of the characters as old people. 😭
The earring/communicator kinda looks good on Xeno...
I'm only 6 chapters ahead of this part in the manga.

I prefer the manga panel more, Stan's lips are pursed in it and Xeno looks more in love but this is still nice!
He imagined Stan talking to him. :')

Speaking of Treasure. Treasure debuted in 2020 with Boy, also a good song, with ten. Two members left in 2022. Not all the time, but often the leader has the most ridiculous hair (Check out King Kong - he's the one in the neon green). Bona Bona turned into one of my favorites.

TNX debuted in 2022 with six, under P Nation, originally called The New Six. One left in 2024. The song remains sort of connected in my mind with T5's Move - only through the name. I can't remember where we heard this one first.
