If you’re surfing the internet on your computer or on your phone and suddenly everything gets really slow and your CPU usage starts maxing out, you may initially want to blame the heavy use of ads on a particular site. While that is a problem, a larger problem is cryptojacking-- where sites or even ads on sites can hijack your processing power while you’re on the site for mining cryptocurrencies.
And now, here’s a chameleon either washing his hands or trying really hard to climb up a stream of tap water

What is your take on the nofap/"porn is addiction" thing? There's a bunch of pseudo articles about some bullshittery science, but I respect this random bunch of internet strangers a lot more than those internet strangers!
It is bullshit pseudoscience. Fap away!
The incomprehensible vastness of the universe, the wonder of our own place in it all… Carl Sagan was able to explain the science of space in a way everyone could understand.
But Carl Sagan had this amazing talent for explaining the scientific wonders of the universe without losing the wonder. When he spoke about the science of space, he captured imaginations and held people in thrall. Here’s a lost interview with Carl Sagan from 1985 as told to Studs Terkel, reimagined in this beautiful animation from @blankonblank.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Sagan <3

Democrat Danica Roem defeated an anti-LGBT Republican incumbent in a race for a seat in the Virginia General Assembly on Tuesday night, putting the 32-year-old journalist on track to make history as the first out transgender person to be elected and get seated in a state legislature in the United States.
With 95% of the ballots counted, Roem had 55% of the vote over Del. Bob Marshall, who has served 11 terms and sponsored a firehouse of bills catered to the religious right. Among them was the state’s law banning same-same sex couples from marrying; he later introduced a billto bar transgender people from using restrooms that match their gender identity in government facilities.
Marshall and his supporters had tried to leverage Roem’s gender identity in the race. On a conservative radio show in September, Marshall said Roem “clearly is a male,” calling her “he” and saying her behavior “goes against the laws of nature and nature’s God.”
Roem brushed off the jabs to focus on bread-and butter issues, particularly easing traffic between the suburban 13th District of Virginia into Washington DC. She did, though, run a TV spot that addressed being trans head-on. “I’m dealing with it,” she told BuzzFeed News in October. “I’m a big girl — I can take care of myself.”
