Flying Without a Rudder

Aircraft typically use a vertical tail to keep the craft from rolling or yawing. Birds, on the other hand, maneuver their wings and tail feathers to counter unwanted motions. (Image credit: E. Chang/Lentink Lab; research credit: E. Chang et al.; via Physics Today) Read the full article

Is it weird to think Bakugo may have a fear of flying?

Imagine going somewhere with him and you have zero idea he’s never flown before, never left Japan or needed to even go to an airport. His parents never dragged him along on any work trips and usually he’d take the train to go wherever he needed. His deep scowl and grumpy demeanor through the airport you chalk up to his default attitude, but then you get on the plane and start to see his anxiety physically manifest. You sit down in your seats and he’s white knuckling the poor arm rest as he’s staring out the window, trying to calm himself down. It isn’t until your hand gently runs over his that you see his shoulders relax, even a little bit, and you keep talking to him as a distraction.

He doesn’t even notice you’re in the air until he looks out the window again, enamored with the view of a colorful sky. It’s only for a second, but he cracks a smile, knowing he’s in good hands with you by his side.

Once again, firing and asking for employees to come back. Almost like these people shouldn’t have lost their jobs in the first place.

Note: U.S. air traffic controllers must retire by age 56 due to FAA regulations. This rule exists for safety reasons, as the job requires quick decision-making, focus, and multitasking, which can decline with age. Stress and fatigue are also factors.

Skydiving Salamanders

The wandering salamander can spend its entire 20-year lifespan in the canopy of a coast redwood. When predators come calling, they have a special skill that helps them get away: skydiving. (Video and image credit: Deep Look; see also C. Brown) Read the full article

SHEP. SHEP YOUVE DEVASTATED ME ONCE AGAIN.

Bigshot as Andriod 24....you're so right. It so encapsulates what 24 thinks of Xisuma

"You're always just a bit shy following behind/I think you've spent enough time singing the same lines" <- 24's resentment toward Xisuma, perhaps? Or a desire for something more, something better?

"I'm screaming for a life that I cannot have" AAAUUUGHHH perishing. throwing up. rolling over in agony. When the music cuts out and it's raw vocals really adds to the effect

And the oh's at the end, the screaming. I love Jhariah's music so much and I feel like it showcases the rawness of 24's emotions that us, from the perspective of Xisuma, don't get to see often.

AND the transition into FIRE4FUN feels like if 24 spiraled into slight insanity.

Anyways I'm a huge Jhariah fan and will now be thinking of every song in the context of dbhc (especially Russian Doll as Etho post-destruction).

RAHHHHHHH YES!!!!! oh my god yes absolutely all of this!!! There's so much i could freaking say about this song, and If you'll indulge me a slight ramble: i think so much of it is like, this double meaning with lyrics. Like, yes, BIG SHOT. 24 hates Xisuma so much (for some reason, later to be explored, but hinted at a little bit in the spotify wrapped art), he sneeringly calls X a bigshot, because X must think he's so big and powerful and important, but this song also feels like. almost like 24 is beating up on himself? Like, "oh, you think you're a big shot, huh? Think you're so big and strong and powerful despite how small you feel?" and that sense of fighting to overcome his sense of inadequacy and shame and anger is just SO infuriating that it fuels him even more.

Lyrics like "You're always just a bit shy, following behind" AGAIN, could totally be 24 sneering at Xisuma, because X isn't the most outwardly outgoing person, and from 24's perspective, it's like ohhhhh, you're putting up this shy guy front, you must think you're so smart! BUT ALSO. "a bit shy" as in, coming up just short of a goal, always falling short, and that as a double meaning for both 24 and Xisuma is just so. passes out. I could go on like this for like every lyric i need to eat glass OH AND!!! FIRE4FUN is actually on Cub's playlist >:3 god so many songs from the TRUST CEREMONY album are on various dbhc playlists, but primarily 24 and hels. Xisuma has one and cub has one, but that's it (i think).
