Iceland’s world-famous Blue Lagoon and the nearby town of Grindavik are under evacuation following a volcanic eruption in the country’s Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland’s public broadcaster RÚV reported Saturday.
Lava appeared to be flowing rapidly towards north of Grindavík, just as it did during the eruption on February 8, RÚV said citing the Icelandic Met Office..

The University of Missouri student who went missing after being kicked out of a Nashville bar was served only one drink before he was asked to leave country music star Luke Bryan’s bar, the owners said.
Luke’s 32 Bridge + Drink and its owner, TC Restaurant Group, said in a statement that Riley Strain, 22, was served one alcoholic drink and two waters while at the downtown Nashville bar during a trip with his fraternity for a spring formal.
However an investigation from Tennessee officials has now commenced to determine if he should have even been served at the bar at all..
The bar said it had also “provided detailed information” to the Nashville Metro Police Department in an effort to help locate the missing man.
He was last seen on security video just before 10 p.m. March 8. In the footage, he appears to sway and do a full 360-degree turn before continuing to walk.
Some are questioning if he was running for help or from something..
Strain has been trending on social media and online sleuths have joined in the X-sphere to opine and ask questions–some great questions like this:
Riley’s family has been posting on social media thanking people for support and asking for more help and attention to the case..
At the time this post is written, official have converged around the Nissan Stadium in the search..

Let me just say if they ever been TikTok.. This video better last in spite of the ban..
There was something important about seeing this today.. feeling the emotion of its innocence..
Sure TikTok is spying–but so ARE ALL THE SOCIALS!!
At least this social gave us a beautiful moment to remember..
This meme is true–those who grew up in the 1990s will recall Rotten.com .. the website grew in popularity fast back when the entire web was the dark web–and on the heels of the Faces of Death video that kids in the 80s that was real (well that one bit in the movie was..)
While you may not have surveyed the content on a regular basis on Rotten back in the day, it was one of the most popular ‘underground’ sites of the early internet.. One video that sticks out was the Bud Dwyer suicide video–he was a legislator from Pennsylvania and while under investigation, called a news conference in which he shot himself at the end. On live TV.
While the content of Rotten was, well, rotten, there was something to be said for early pioneers online who did not allow a regulated internet to stop their creative HTMLing..
For better or worse, the TMNT meme of people gathering around an old computer to see Rotten.com was just about true…
All in all, it was a crude and gross site. But at that time, things like this happened. It is tough to explain that to the current internet crowd that is cloaked in social media terms of services..
“A European Space Agency satellite is expected to reenter and largely burn up in Earth’s atmosphere on Wednesday morning. The agency’s Space Debris Office, along with an international surveillance network, is monitoring and tracking the Earth-observing ERS-2 satellite, which is predicted to make its reentry at 6:14 a.m. ET Wednesday, with a 15-hour window of uncertainty.
The ESA is also providing live updates on its website. “As the spacecraft’s reentry is ‘natural’, without the possibility to perform manoeuvers, it is impossible to know exactly where and when it will reenter the atmosphere and begin to burn up,” according to a statement from the agency.”
It’s over…
Vince McMahon has resigned from his role as executive chairman of TKO, the parent company of WWE, following disturbing allegationsof sexual assault, trafficking and physical abuse.
The allegations came to light in a lawsuit filed by a former WWE staffer, Janel Grant, who worked at the headquarters of the wrestling behemoth McMahon founded.
McMahon has denied the allegations, and said he is prepared to defend himself in court. But, in a statement Friday, McMahon said that he has resigned.
This was one of the most famous true crime stories, and for those who live through it 20 years ago it dominated headlines I want to talk of the entire planet ..
A man who was convicted in 2004 of killing his wife and unborn child has had his case picked up by the Los Angeles Innocence Project, according to ABC News.
Scott Peterson was convicted in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn child in one of the state’s most infamous murder trials. The LA Innocence Project, a group that works to exonerate wrongfully convicted people, is taking up the case, ABC News reported.
The case is 18 years old. You don’t automatically get new trials. There needs to be demonstration that Peterson may be innocent.
A new trial? It seems almost impossible
This should be a really cool limited series podcast on ‘Finding Matt Drudge’ !!
First episode drops in a week according to this X post ..
He has becomes increasingly mysterious and secretive and clearly very anti Trump.. this podcast is set to go in depth and should be really cool to listen to.
We can’t wait to (maybe?) hear answers to these questions.
As Trump leaves his tower.. there is literally blood on his hands!! What is happening with the former president?!
Planes dropping out of the sky. Your mobile rendered useless, just like your car. As a Netflix film portrays a nightmare that security experts insist is a very real prospect…!
So many weird news coverage about a potential risk of our human civilization becoming crippled. The ‘black swan event’.. the Leave the World Behind movie has put icing on the cake of end times.
So much attention to what could happen if the whole world comes crashing down…
.. with his car’s navigation system out of action, Ethan Hawke’s character Clay Sandford is unable even to find his way to the nearby town.
Our telephone system used to run on sturdy copper wires, with handsets you could fix with a screwdriver. Now it is a branch of cyberspace.
So, too, is finance. Remember when a credit card’s embossed number left an imprint on a paper slip? Not any more. Our payment system depends wholly on electronic encryption.
What use is cash in the modern world? In the film, with the internet gone, it becomes a prized asset.
If the technologies we rely on break down, many of us will be as helpless as Hawke’s Clay Sandford. ‘I am a useless man,’ he howls, as the crutch of technology is kicked from underneath him.

But the fear porn increased into maximum overdrive about this since the movie came out and even shortly before.. Why is not the question, since it is always possible. But why not is the more relevant issue.
