Dinah Washington was a beautiful singer during the 1950's and the early 1960's. My favorite was and is "What A Difference A Day Made." I am quite sure you all have favorites. Tragically, she passed away in the early 1960's.

Dinah Washington: What Difference A Day Makes

Song of the Day - “What A Difference A Day Makes” Today marks the 65th anniversary of the recording of “What A Difference A Day Makes” by the incomparable Dinah Washington - February 19th, 1959. The song is an English adaptation of a popular Mexican song, "Cuando Yuelva a Tu Lado” by Maria Grever. This track was recorded at Mercury Sound Studios in New York, with Belford Hendricks' orchestra, with the great Panama Francis on drums, Joe Zawinul on keyboards and Kenny Burrell on guitar.. The entire album she recorded 65 years ago today is stellar - every single cut... her "Cry Me A River" is killer... as is "We'll Take Manhattan"... there is no voice quite like Dinah’s… But this track is the one. Dinah won a Grammy for this single, and though it would get covered by a handful of great singers, this is her song... hands down. In fact, it really is her signature song. Just custom made for her nasal-y voice..

“Force is that which makes a thing of whoever submits to it. Exercised to the extreme, it makes the human being a thing quite literally, that is, a dead body. Someone was there and, the next moment, no one. [...] 

The force that kills is summary and crude. How much more varied in operation, how much more stunning in effect is that other sort of force, that which does not kill, or rather does not kill just yet. It will kill for a certainty, or it will kill perhaps, or it may merely hang over the being it can kill at any instant; in all cases, it changes the human being into stone. From the power to change a human being into a thing by making him die there comes another power, in its way more momentous, that of making a still living human being into a thing. He is living, he has a soul; he is nonetheless a thing. Strange being—a thing with a soul; strange situation for the soul! Who can say how it must each moment conform itself, twist and contort itself? It was not created to inhabit a thing; when it compels itself to do so, it endures violence through and through.”  ― Simone Weil, War and the Iliad

one movie turns a thing into a soul, another turns souls into things.

Auch dieses Jahr wird sich die Zeit wieder wenden Und behielten die Felder auch frisch zerfurcht über Nacht das gestandene Wasser erinnert die Gräser des Morgens doch nichts an den gestrigen Graupel

As the ejecta fell back to earth in a hailstorm of molten glass, the ambient temperature hit upwards of 700°F, worldwide, within about an hour.

But do remember, as a mammal, this was the Big Break we'd been praying for!

I know this image is just an artistic rendering, but was Chicxulub even close to being that big?

YES, ABSOLUTELY. if anything, that paleoart UNDERSTATES it!

the Chicxulub Impactor was about six miles wide, meaning that when its bottom edge slammed into the atlantic ocean at roughly 20 km/s, its top edge was still in the upper atmosphere.
