This is the story of Abaco, The Bahamas, and what is arguably the most successful slave revolt in U.S. history. Twitter user @michaelharriot, does a kickass job at breaking down the rich historical knowledge in this story, in a way that really keeps the reader engaged and entertained. 

For the uninitiated, the president's map of Hurricane Dorian Had an extra piece added on with sharpie to corroborate his belief that Alabama would be affected by the storm. A spokesman from NOAA ensured reporters that Alabama would not be affected. The internet took the sharpie stunt as an example of the President's commitment to baseless assertions, and had some fun with it.

Something of a viral movement has been in motion, centered on freezing people in the midwest or really anywhere cold enough in the world, to toss a cup of water into the extremely cold air and watch it fall back to earth looking like snow. In this case, we have a clever woman in the UK, trolling the movement with a take of her own. Things go hilariously terribly. 

In case you missed it, it is insanely, bone-chilling (if not shattering) cold out in the midwest. Check this AskReddit we ran the other day, that includes people out there, sharing just what -30 degrees feels like. They're trudging through a polar vortex, for the ages. The pictures surfacing on Twitter, look like nothing short of an Ice Age kind of crazy, weather event. Seriously, I've heard word of -30 out there, and I suspect it's been even colder. We hope everyone's staying warm from the cold, and keeping safe! 

Hell froze over and it's in Chicago. These extreme temperatures sound like a scene out of that apocalyptic flick, "The Day After Tomorrow", where Dennis Quaid is struggling through deathly cold, and arctic conditions out in New York. And here we are, present day, in real life, and watching it unfold. The cold temperatures we're reading are staggering. We hope everyone's staying safe and managing to find warmth out there and across the broader span of the East Coast right now.
