In the newest update to the saga of David Attenborough-narrated documentaries about nature, an episode of Frozen Planet II featured a courtship of two male albatrosses.

Albatrosses—large ocean going birds with a wingspan that can reach 12 feet—are colonial, nesting mostly on remote oceanic islands with several species all nesting together. Pair bonds form over several years with the use of "ritualised dances" and last for the life of the bonded pair.

So these two males are giving it a go.

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
