One year ago today, a routine maintenance trip became a lifesaving mission! After hearing a Mayday call for a missing diver, the PML Explorer crew sprang into action - locating the diver and supporting a safe transfer to the heroes at Plymouth RNLI 👏

Counterpoint: the best ending of all time
Text from a print book: MARY W SHELLEY He sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance. Then, written by hand at the end of the printed text: As he drifted away I could just make out his final words. "It's okay if you just call me' Frankenster' instead of 'Frankenstein's Monster. I really dor't mind." The end

"Were we always like this?"

And the analogy:

"Was the virus from which today's bigotry sprang lying dormant in us back then, like chickenpox leading to shingles? The moral herpes virus? Was it like a recessive gene long buried in our ancestral DNA that suddenly got switched on" become

Heute Nacht - ich stand mit dem Mann am Ufer eines Arktischen Meeres. Vor dem pink-lila Sonnenuntergang sprang ein Reigen von Walen. Hinter uns watete ein riesiger Elch durch einen Fluss.

Dann ging der Wecker. 😭😖
Ich brauche jetzt Kaffee.

Morning, continuing the theme of songs that are note perfect. This one sprang to mind from somewhere

With shaking hands, he unclasped his dress pants and pushed them and boxers down his thighs. His cock sprang free, hard and ready for his little brother. (Spoiled)

"I overslept!" She sprang out of bed, tossing her blanket to the floor. "Oh my gosh! Ugh, thanks for waking me, but I need you out." She pushed him out of her bedroom. Thump. She tripped over a box she hadn't put away yet. "Ow..." "Um, are you okay in there? I can help you change if you're that frazzled," Theo spoke through the door as he listened to her fumble around. "Oh, shut it, Theo." She threw a pillow at the door. After the light thump, he backed away, snickering. He set up the coffeemaker – which they made sure was ready to use yesterday – and placed two mugs in front of it on the counter as he waited. By the time she stormed out of her bedroom with her bag, he was sipping on his coffee. "Crap... I know I was supposed to hang out with you before work, but if I don't leave now, I won't make it down there in time." He looked at his watch. "It takes that long, or do you start super early?" "It takes forever by bus." She sighed and took the mug he held out to her. "Thanks, I'm going to need this." "I'll drive you there, then." "Don't you use a driver? And that car would stand out too much." "Generally, yes, but I texted someone to come get us in a normal vehicle." He waved his phone around.

It didnt just sprang out of nothing. You need stalwart leaders, and you need a ton of agitators/educators. You dont have either. Until you do, there will be no revolution.

do you ever think about what we lost, as a society, when we decided that Santa Claus was regular human size and not tiny
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.

One of Reiner's real gifts as a director was creating early-career standout roles.

Noah Wyle's brief moment in A FEW GOOD MEN also immediately sprang to mind.

Commonplace Book #393
My early support for Black Lives Matter sprang neither from tribal membership nor from guilt about wrongs committed by my ancestors, impoverished Eastern European Jews who immigrated to Chicago in the early twentieth century. I supported BLM because the killing of unarmed people is a crime against humanity. At the same time, I rejected the white countermovement whose members shouted "All lives matter," because it uses a banal general truth to distract attention from an important empirical truth, namely that African Americans are more likely to be subject to discrimination and violence than other Americans.

The exact words I remember as a child hearing in a sermon was "...and God's seed sprang into Mary" so it was leaning more on ideas of artificially induced pregnancy by magic.

It also implies Jesus was fruit of the womb.

no I've used one at my great grandmas and my parents had one in their bed room when I was really little but when I was a kid I thought you had to dial all the numbers before it sprang back instead of waiting for it and dialing the next number

Actually...he's doing a bit of soul searching here. And he's disturbed by what he's finding.
Robert P. George’s Dec. 7 op-ed, “There are valid debates among conservatives. This isn’t one.,” argued that conservatives should stop promoting “white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, the subjugation of women, and other forms of ideological extremism and bigotry.” You know what this means. It means it’s too late. Telling conservatives to stop being bigots is admitting they’re bigots. And I’m pretty sure a professor of jurisprudence telling them to cut it out isn’t going to work. Hey, you guys — stop being bigots! Oh, okay. I served in the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations and would like to believe conservatism wasn’t always thus, but I’m beginning to wonder. Was the virus from which today’s bigotry sprang lying dormant in us back then, like chickenpox leading to shingles? The moral herpes virus? Was it like a recessive gene long buried in our ancestral DNA that suddenly got switched on and has become dominant? Are these new conservatives in fact our descendants? Were we always secretly like this but were pretending we weren’t? I’m hoping these new conservatives are mutants, but I’m not so sure about that anymore. Bruce Carnes, Fairfax

The whole Watergate mess sprang from the fact that Nixon wanted to be King Richard the First, Ruler of Imperial America. Everybody gives the asshole a pass on that, but every Republican President, from then to now, has been a wannabe Royal at heart.

i live in this area and this was the exact story that sprang to mind. everybody just seemed to handwave it as the cost of doing business—thin blue line flags up everywhere after the police gunned down an actual hero instead of the man who was literally murdering cops
