Good luck, kid, we’re rootin’ for you.
This is truly incredible.

Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.
This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.
Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.
That second image is a nightmare waiting to happen.
In Super Mario Odyssey, a visual effect projects an image of objects onto the surface of water and distorts it to imitate rippling. However, in one particular spot next to the lower waterfall in the Cascade Kingdom, the effect is not applied correctly, leading to distorted images of Mario appearing beside him when viewed from certain angles.

Just a few scenarios I dreamed up involving characters that didn’t make it into Injustice 2.
VS Deathstroke Introductions D: Well, well, if it isn't my... protege. T: Well, well, if it isn't Daddy Deathstroke. D: You were such a good study.
T: Oh, good, it's the limp fish. D: Nothing personal, but you're a liability. T: Why? Don't want me to spread it around?
T: I don't want anything to do with you. D: You have no idea what you want. T: I'll start with your head on a spike.
T: Oh, look, my teenage mistakes all in one place. D: I showed you what you could be. T: Yeah, but could you have shown me a more exciting time?
T: Garfield was right about you. The whole time. D: Ah, but is he right about you? T: ...You go to Hell.
Clashes D: So what hole'd you crawl out of? T: The one I dug myself! D: I taught you everything, brat. T: Hey, Mr. WIIILSON! This is how you PUNCTURE someone! D: I'm hard to kill. T: Hard to get rid of, anyway. T: I'm nothing like you. D: Not in the good ways. T: I'm DONE with you, Slade! D: You act like a hunted animal. VS Cyborg Introductions C: Man, if it isn't just a parade of unexpected faces. T: What, you see any other ghosts of your past? C: If I didn't know better, I'd say you look a little green.
T: Well, look who's outta the hospital! C: Don't pretend you care, witch. T: Hey, I care! Wasn't even gonna mention that new car smell.
Clashes T: Tell me where you saw Garfield! C: What, the ex got you all hot and bothered? C: Do you know why he did this to me? T: I bet you got in Garfield's way.
VS Raven Introductions T: Oh, look who it is, the one-woman pity-party. R: The advice of loved ones should not be cast aside so lightly. T: Ugh. Why does Gar care so much about your opinion?
T: Wow, and people called me a traitor. R: You mock only because you do not comprehend. T: Chicken Soup called! They want their sob story back.
Clash R: You broke Garfield's heart. T: You should let him off the leash./Oh, so he's "Garfield", now? T: Not so sexy on the inside, are you? R: I will carve out your tongue!
VS Dr. Fate Introductions F: Wherefore does the Princess of Perdition step into the domain of Fate? R: Order is order, regardless of the binding. F: Trigon's fickleness has caused untold disaster.
R: You know of the Changeling's and Terra's arrival. Speak. F: The fault lines of reality are shifting. R: I see why Gar hates it when I don't give a straight answer.
R: You will yield your secrets to me, willingly or otherwise. F: You know nothing of my arts. You cannot hope to defeat me. R: I'm a quick study.
Clashes F: The cosmos must have order! R: Then we have no quarrel. F: The lords of order speak true. R: Not even you believe that. R: Give me the knowledge I require. F: I do not serve tyrants. R: So the helmet feeds more lies to you? F: You know nothing of these matters!
VS Changeling Introductions R: You-- you're alive? C: Surprised to see me, Rae? R: No. Illusion or Delusion, you shouldn't be here.
R: So there is some truth to your story. C: Don't worry, it weirds me out, too. R: **giggles** It does my heart good to see you, Garfield Logan.
C: So, do I pass the Official Titan Test? R: I see naught but doom in you. C: 'Course you do, Rae. I'm a Patrolman, too.
C: So you never mentioned you were living with your Dad again. R: Your safety is guaranteed here. I mean it. C: Enough to fight him if you have to?
R: So. I see you reject my hospitality. C: The fancy cell in Castle Trigon was nice, but I'm homesick. R: Garfield, I cannot allow you to confront her.
Clashes C: Loser buys lunch? R: Are you ever serious? R: Forever putting your head into the lion's jaws. C: Too bad for the lions, huh? C: Our line of work is always dangerous. R: I will not abide the loss of another friend. R: I can't lose anyone else! I won't! C: Raven, I've got to go now! R: You can't leave! NOT AGAIN! C: I'm gonna miss you, too, Rae.
VS Cyborg Introductions Cy: You, there! Freeze! I order you to back it up! Ch: Whoa, chill! What's wrong? Cy: You're wearing a dead man's face.
Ch: Wow. You guys are serious about this Regime thing. Cy: I know it's not easy to understand, Gar. Ch: The only thing I don't get is how you're the good guys.
Ch: You just got outta the hospital, Vic. Cy: None of this woulda happened if you hadn't broken out. Ch: I've got bigger worries than the New World Order.
Clashes Cy: You've got some explainin' to do. Ch: Wish I could, Victor. Ch: Why can't you leave it alone? Cy: You wouldn't come peacefully! Ch: You gotta understand this ain't personal. Cy: It feels pretty damn personal.
VS Atrocitus Introductions A: You'd make a fine addition to the Corps. C: I've already served with two outfits. Three just seems greedy. A: Ahh, then I must be imagining Nekron's influence.
Clashes A: You reek of the unliving. C: I could really use a shower.
VS Mento Introductions M: So you've finally come back to the Patrol. Must be looking for some real action. C: I certainly didn't come back for the memories. M: Heh. It's certainly been gloomy without you.
C: The gauntlets are new. Something to balance the helmet? M: And what's wrong with the helmet? C: Oh, my God, Dad.
M: Things have changed since you've been gone. C: I... I heard I have a sister, now. She a good kid? M: Holly adores your every story.
C: It's weird to think I got my start here. M: You were wasted on the Titans. C: Heh. Didn't know you cared.
M: And when were you going to tell me? C: I was hoping I wouldn't ever have to. M: I'm your father. I know when you're lying to me.
Clashes M: You have no DISCIPLINE! C: YOU HAVE NO HEART! M: How can you expect to save the world? C: I just want it to be worth saving! M: If you have a job to do, then DO IT! C: You say that like it's easy! C: Would you just LAY OFF? M: Get your head in the game! C: I'm not afraid of dying! M: Because you're Doom Patrol!
VS Terra Introductions T: Don't try to stop me, Logan. It won't work. C: Sheesh, what's gotten INTO you? T: They call it a heart of stone.
T: Doctor, doctor! I feel the madness coming back! C: Cut the crap, Tara. You know exactly what you're doing. T: God, you would've been so good at roleplay.
C: If you don't stop, people are going to get hurt. T: It was 'people' who ruined my life, Garfield! C: You can stop this before it gets worse, Tara!
T: Why? Why are you so persistent? C: Time's up, Tara. We've got to go. T: I am not going back. You can't make me!
T: What kind of animal can come back to life? C: I made the arrangement to bring you back. T: Oh, now I get it! You're just a lapdog.
C: I thought that diamonds were a girl's best friend. T: Not since I created the Lazarite crystals. C: Yeah, thing is, Nekron calls that grand larceny.
Clashes C: Kicking up another fuss, Terra? T: But you know I'm noisy at night! C: I'm begging you, Tara! Stop it! T: God, I love it when you beg. T: I've got the madness in me! **cackle** C: You're not crazy, you're just blind. T: The world won't love you back, Garfield. C: It's not the world I'm worried about. C: It's time to go back, Tara. T: NO! I am not dying again! T: Tell Nekron he can kiss my ass! C: We can tell him together.
VS Black Hand Introductions BH: And what would the Red's orphan child seek of Nekron? C: The opportunity to hunt down a lost soul. BH: To act in service of death? Intriguing.
C: So I get a whole week to get the crystals back, right? BH: Fail to obtain them, and the unliving hordes will follow. C: So that's the catch.
BH: You destroyed the Lazarite crystals! You deceived Nekron! C: He don't know me very well, do he? BH: There will be nothing left of you for Heaven!
Clashes BH: And what drives you to serve Nekron? C: My beasts just want to hunt again. C: So Nekron has no interest in the stones? BH: Nekron’s plans are no concern of yours! C: And I can't ask for help? BH: We thought you a mighty hunter! BH: MONGREL! VERMIN! CUR! C: Ain't I a stinker?

Mad bombers, matchmaking, magic spells—what’s a butler to do?
Meet Bostwick von Dogsbody, a sardonic door-to-door magician, and his white rabbit, Emmaline, who just happens to be a cursed human princess. The two are traveling through the goblin-run continent of Ataxia in search of the legendary Domino of Nonpareil—a mask that allows the wearer to become anything he desires—in order to return Emmaline to normal. Their journey has finally led them to Styx Castle, where they meet Millicent, a human maid who wound up in Styx due to mysterious (and embarrassing) circumstances, and Delilah, a goblin queen with a taste for the chaotic.
But Bostwick’s theft of the Domino does not go unnoticed. To avoid a harsher punishment, he agrees to be Delilah’s butler for a hundred years. Before he can escape the queen’s clutches, he’ll have to face mad bombers, an all-bugbear police force, romantic schemes gone awry, and a mysterious goblin-turned-cat named Sebastian who also has designs on the Domino. And as if that wasn’t enough, he soon learns that Millicent is also a magician—and needs him to teach her!
