The life cams in Alaska at the Katmai National Park have been busy; every summer, sockeye salmon swim upstream to find a place to spawn.  As they make their way up, plenty of hungry bears sit on nature's "sushi bar."  Live webcams are constantly rolling.

PEW Research conducted focus groups with active users of social media.  The participants described the different platforms they engage with and what information they share on each of them.  What's most notable is the views participants brought to the research; some enjoy being open and honest on social media platforms and the benefits of having vulnerable conversations.  Others prefer to be guarded and only provide general information on social media.  Social media, which didn't exist 20 years ago, has already detonated like a nuclear mind bomb.  The residual fallout will be studied for years to come.  In the meantime, go outside and play with your friends.

PJ Harvey in the 90s was talented and tough; she appeared on stage with her guitar and voice and screamed poetry at us as we all screamed back.  Unfortunately, Harvey is aging with the rest of us, and screaming with guitars isn't the only way to express yourself.  Icons like PJ Harvey and Liz Phair took a male-dominated business with talent and determination with the rhythm many 90s fans celebrated.  The insecurity may have been there, but you didn't see it on stage.  The Guardian does an excellent job of writing up a long piece on Harvey, what she has accomplished, and what she is busy with.  She still wonders if she's got it; we say we aren’t Rid of You yet 😎

Unique.
