check out this crazy nonsense southeast of homestead, florida:

i was just relaxing & looking at the caribbean when i saw it, and i couldn’t figure out what it was without looking it up. it’s obviously connected to a main Thing at its northeast corner, but that didn’t have any helpful features so i went looking around on wikipedia and stuff. it’s turkey point power station, a two-reactor nuclear power plant. in retrospect the two big reactor-looking things paired with two stacks and a lot of water stuff around it, combined with the massive electrical stuff outside of the parking lot, is pretty salient.

the “crazy nonsense” is a 168-mile long cooling canal. that is awesome

also “misfits” is a very funny new tv show.
