His name is Eugene Goodman. In a now-viral video, he is seen confronting White Supremacists and using himself as bait to provide cover for the evacuation of lawmakers. He was alone in a hallway when the mob reached him, and Congress was being evacuated to the left. He lured the mob away from lawmakers, drawing them in the opposite direction and up the stairs.
Officer Goodman deserves recognition for his amazing bravery and selflessness. Because of him, Congress was evacuated safely and no lawmakers were assassinated on that terrible day. He risked everything to save others, and he is a hero.

“Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but ‘Mom’s’ probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.”

Damn, Animaniacs.
Even to this day, the writers of the show still have no clue how some of these jokes (especially that last one) made it past the censors!
Do you know the game Hytale? This game seems to be a competitor of Minecraft, it is being developed by a group of people involved in the Minecraft Modding community! Watch the Trailer!
Naturally, they made sharks just like the generic aggressive monstrous enemy with no depth whatsoever, so I decided to contribute some ideas of creatures to the oceans of Hytale!
In some of these ideas, I explored fantasy abstractions of tonic immobility and electro-sense, characteristics of sharks that I never saw being explored creatively. I have no idea if the developers will care about my ideas, but at least I tried! If you want to follow me on instagram, this is: @AstralRequin
I’d rather play a game with these cute sharks than another one with unrealistic violent sharks that continue to perpetuate their bad reputations :(
The clown, after sucking me off, proceeds to pull the multicolored rags out from my weenie while I clap in joyful glee

A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.
!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.
Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food.
i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!!
Also, by the car stopping for them, that hedgehog has two other species actively working to help it stay alive for no gain of their own.
I keep watching this wondering if this is actual cross-species altruism, and you notice that the corvid keeps moving back behind the hedgie to prod it forward. If it was just harassing the hedgie or playing around, why make such a clear attempt to herd it in a specific direction?
I’m no expert on animal behavior but this seems to also imply that this corvid also specifically understands enough about hedgehogs to understand a hedgehog fear response (curl into a ball and stay still) and how also to get the hedgie moving in spite of that. This is so fascinating.
