This reminded me about how Elvis styled his hair from Captain Marvel/Shazam because he was a big fan of them growing up. The DC bit that is.

I was also reminded of how Tandi Iman Dupree dressed up as Wonder Woman at Miss Gay Black America in the early 2000s and lip-synced to “Holding Out for a Hero.” Wonder Woman is an LGBT icon!

I saw a cute video of geese marching down a street. The guy leading them was playing a drum, and few people gathered to watch. This was on Instagram, so I commenting asking where this parade was.
Someone replied and told me it was in the Netherlands, and the tradition is called “ganzenmars” (“goose march”) or “ganzenfanfare” (“goose parade”). It’s not clear when it became a thing, but it’s based on geese herding.
Now, to write an emo parody: “Welcome to the GOOSE Parade.”
(Not the exact video, but a similar one.)

Something new I learned today was what a Vietnamese Mossy Frog is and that they don’t have to move their heads when scanning their environment for predators. I’ve never seen something like that before! They are really cool looking and look like they would blend well with things!

not learned today, but recently I learned about this weird hybrid fish. A cross between the Russian Sturgeon and the American Paddlefish, called the Sturddlefish. These fish are real weird because they basically were created on accident.
From an evolutionary tree of life, Humans are more related to a platypus than these two fish are related to each other. Their last common ancestor was in the cretaceous period. So, when scientists put Paddlefish roe in a tank with the Sturgeon for some science experiment, they were stunned to find Sturddlefish. Hybrids with a high vitality rate [about 70% survived].
There was an article on this 4 years ago, but it was cool to learn when I saw a post about it the other day!

The band Lynyrd Skynyrd named themselves after Leonard Skinner, a gym teacher who constantly critcized them.
A while before the famous music video for “Bad Apple!!” was released, a NicoNico user requested a music video be made using this storyboard. However, it was poorly drawn and while people made fun of it, others tried to interpret the storyboard and make a music video out of it.

The James Webb Space Telescope has identified one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a massive star approximately 20 times the mass of the sun.

So this is a real village, and not just a nickname for “Bridgerton”:
