GHOSTS OF THE TSUNAMI: Death and Life in Japan’s Disaster Zone

On March 11, 2011, a powerful earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of northeast Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than eighteen thousand people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned.

It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.




THE GREAT QUAKE: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet

At 5:36 p.m. on March 27, 1964, a magnitude 9.2. earthquake – the second most powerful in world history – struck the young state of Alaska. The violent shaking, followed by massive tsunamis, devastated the southern half of the state and killed more than 130 people. A day later, George Plafker, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, arrived to investigate. His fascinating scientific detective work in the months that followed helped confirm the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics.

In a compelling tale about the almost unimaginable brute force of nature, New York Times science journalist Henry Fountain combines history and science to bring the quake and its aftermath to life in vivid detail. With deep, on-the-ground reporting from Alaska, often in the company of George Plafker, Fountain shows how the earthquake left its mark on the land and its people -- and on science.




THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner

From the legendary whistle-blower who revealed the Pentagon Papers, an eyewitness exposé of the dangers of America's Top Secret, seventy-year-long nuclear policy that continues to this day.

Here, for the first time, former high-level defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg reveals his shocking firsthand account of America's nuclear program in the 1960s. From the remotest air bases in the Pacific Command, where he discovered that the authority to initiate use of nuclear weapons was widely delegated, to the secret plans for general nuclear war under Eisenhower, which, if executed, would cause the near-extinction of humanity, Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization--and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration--threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.




THE ENDS OF THE WORLD: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions

As new groundbreaking research suggests that climate change played a major role in the most extreme catastrophes in the planet's history, award-winning science journalist Peter Brannen takes us on a wild ride through the planet's five mass extinctions and, in the process, offers us a glimpse of our increasingly dangerous future

Our world has ended five times: it has been broiled, frozen, poison-gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In The Ends of the World, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth’s past dead ends, and in the process, offers us a glimpse of our possible future.

Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the twenty-first century have analogs in these five extinctions. Using the visible clues these devastations have left behind in the fossil record, The Ends of the World takes us inside “scenes of the crime,” from South Africa to the New York Palisades, to tell the story of each extinction.




DISCOVERING THE MAMMOTH: A Tale of Giants, Unicorns, Ivory, and the Birth of a New Science

Today, we know that a mammoth is an extinct type of elephant that was covered with long fur and lived in the north country during the ice ages. But how do you figure out what a mammoth is if you have no concept of extinction, ice ages, or fossils? Long after the last mammoth died and was no longer part of the human diet, it still played a role in human life. Cultures around the world interpreted the remains of mammoths through the lens of their own worldview and mythology.

When the ancient Greeks saw deposits of giant fossils, they knew they had discovered the battle fields where the gods had vanquished the Titans. When the Chinese discovered buried ivory, they knew they had found dragons’ teeth. But as the Age of Reason dawned, monsters and giants gave way to the scientific method. Yet the mystery of these mighty bones remained. How did Enlightenment thinkers overcome centuries of myth and misunderstanding to reconstruct an unknown animal?

Indonesian rapper Brian Imanual finally changed his stage name. He announced in a Twitter post that he will no longer be known as "Rich Chigga" and now will be going by "Brian".
Some have noted that he kept the name for as long as he needed to grab attention and build a following and is now conveniently dropping it as it did his job and he's reached a point where it'll no longer be helpful to his career.

How does FOX's new singing competition 'The Four' work exactly?

-FOX's new singing competition premiered tonight and it was interesting to say the least.

-There seems to be a bit of confusion about how the show works exactly so here's the breakdown:

1. The show started out with 4 singers who were already chosen to take over the 4 seats.

2. Each week they bring in a group of singers to potentially challenge and take one of the 4 seats.

3. The challengers must get all 4 votes from the judges in order to challenge one of The Four.

4. If chosen, the challenger will choose which of The Four to battle and the in house audience chooses the winner.

5. No one from The Four can be challenged twice within an episode.

Basically the show is like The Hunger Games, no ones spot is safe and can challenged each week. At the end of the show it appears The Four will battle each other to see who takes home the prize.

After New Years Performance, Many Americans Are Asking Who TF BTS Are. This Is An Introduction

After BTS performed at New Years Rockin’ Eve, many confused but intrigued Americans took to social media to ask who the boys were, what language they were speaking, and confessed to being captivated by their strong performance. On the flip side, xenophobic and racist, MAGA trash showed their stank asses as usual. What else is new?

Are you as confused too? Don't worry I gotchu fam! BTS is a self-made, artist-driven 7-member South Korean pop/hiphop group. Unlike most other kpop acts, BTS actually write and produce their own music and contribute to choreographies/concepts. It seems like these days, BTS, who have a dedicated legion of fans called “Army”, are everywhere. If you’re on the Internet, it’s hard to avoid arguably the strongest fandom for a current musical act.

How have they amassed such dedicated Army? From endless content, fan interaction, talent, genuine and fun personalities, their CONNECTED UNIVERSE (MCU who?) that drive endless fan theories and interest, to their powerful social messages in their music that anybody can resonate with, BTS have truly made Army (Averaging 30) part of their story.

They also just so happen to have an extremely strong American fan base and the music industry has taken notice. There isn’t a day that goes by where Billboard, Grammys, MTV, and other famous U.S. media don’t report on their every move. 2017 was a landmark year for them that saw them break into the U.S. market and achieve a top 30 hit (Stream Mic Drop on Spotify lol). 2018 looks to be even crazier and they show no signs of stopping.

Variety and Indiewire's predictions of the Golden Globes' film winners:

-- Best Motion Picture – Drama: both have “The Shape of Water” as the winner (since it has the most overall nods)
-- Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: both list “Lady Bird” but maybe "Get Out" could sweep under to win
-- Best Director:“The Shape of Water”s Guillermo del Toro for both

-- Best Actor - Drama: Variety's going with Timothée Chalamet, “Call Me by Your Name” mainly because the HFPA and Gary Oldman fucking hate each other, while Indiewire actually is calling for Oldman for 'Darkest Hour' to win
-- Best Actress – Drama: both have Frances McDormand, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” listed for this
-- Best Actor – Comedy or Musical: both have James Franco, “The Disaster Artist”
-- Best Actress – Musical or Comedy: this actually got a weird-ass split. Indiewire lists Saorise Ronan from 'Lady Bird', while Variety's going for Margot Robbie, “I, Tonya”???
-- Best Supporting Actor: another split - Indiewire lists frontrunner Willem Dafoe for "The Florida Project," while Variety went with Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
-- Best Supporting Actress: and another split - now Variety lists Laurie Metcalf, “Lady Bird” as the winner, while Indiewire went with Allison Janney for “I, Tonya”
-- Best Screenplay: Variety gunned for Martin McDonagh for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and Indiewire is behind Greta Gerwig, “Lady Bird”

there's more at the sources, like Coco of course sweeping for animated, and a split for score (between Desplat for 'The Shape of Water' and Zimmer for 'Dunkirk')
