Stressed? Anxious? Worried? It’s quite common to be filled with existential dread this time of year, what with the holidays and New Years and all. It can be a lot.
Well, it’s time to get back to basics and remember what it’s all about. Take anywhere from 10 seconds to the rest of your life checking out the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam, which is live right now on YouTube.
This should be enough to chill you out and get through the rest of this hellhole of a year.
A pair of Bald Eagles in Washington DC will soon be welcoming some baby eagles to their nest! Mr. President and The First Lady, yes those are their names, have two eggs that are ready to hatch and The American Eagle Foundation is live streaming the entire event. This may be the most American thing we have ever witnessed.

Drones are pretty cool but in the wrong hands they can do some pretty scary things, like spy on people or drop any number of harmful things on an unsuspecting public. Or this:
The point is, it's important to have a defense against drones. That's why the Dutch National Police force have started training eagles to take down drones and look awesome doing it. These birds of prey are the perfect weapon to take down a drone because of their super strong talons and the fact that they can fly.
The only problem so far is that the drone blades could still injure the eagles which means someday our future may include armored eagles.
