WAR CRIMES

Someone needs to tell him that Iran didn’t get the memo.

My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

My 4-year old niece took this pic yesterday. Needless to say that I’m really proud

I attended a seminar during which the teacher said that humans reach their peak creativity level, their greatest ability to “think outside the box,” at age… 5!

What a great shot! I hope your niece gets to go “camera wild” and has every opportunity to photograph the world as she sees it.

NEW: Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, the school is acknowledging a culture of silence that allowed the abuse to continue and some school administrators are finally facing consequences.

AMERICA FIRST IN ACTION: 1 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE? “WE CAN’T AFFORD IT!” 1 BILLION DOLLARS A DAY FOR A POINTLESS WAR? “NO PROBLEM!”

It's just not adding up. But then again, it never does.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

A black-and-white montage portrait of pioneering American virologist Charlotte Friend (1921–1987), who discovered the Friend leukemia virus and advanced understanding of retroviruses and cancer. The main image shows her in her laboratory, seated at a compound microscope in a research setting lined with shelves of scientific books and journals. She is a middle-aged woman with short, neatly styled dark hair, wearing round-framed eyeglasses, a pearl necklace, and a white lab coat over a patterned blouse with a floral collar. She smiles warmly and confidently at the camera, one hand resting near the microscope's stage, conveying dedication, intelligence, and approachability. In the lower right corner is a smaller inset close-up portrait of a younger Charlotte Friend, smiling brightly with softer features, short wavy hair, and a simple white blouse, highlighting her earlier career. The composition blends her professional lab environment with a personal archival photo, celebrating her groundbreaking contributions to virology, leukemia research, and women's roles in science during the mid-20th century. The overall mood is one of scholarly achievement, warmth, and historical significance.

Virologist Charlotte Friend (b. #OTD in 1921) proved viruses could cause cancer (1957) & revolutionized virology (& helped define modern retrovirology).

She later pioneered differentiation therapy, showing cancer cells could be "reverted" to health, defining a new path to treat cancer. #WomenInSTEM

I still think about this one often.

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

PEDOrump’s answer:
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

Hell yes, Arizona’s Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a repugnant bill that would have honored neo-Nazi propagandist podcaster Charlie Kirk on license plates in her state. Love it.

A vibrant official NASA portrait of astronaut Laurel Clark, mission specialist on STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia), taken before her 2003 flight. She is shown in a three-quarter view, smiling warmly at the camera with an open, confident expression. She has shoulder-length curly brown hair and fair skin. She wears the bright orange NASA launch-and-entry suit (ACES), complete with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, NASA insignia on the chest, her name tag "LAUREL CLARK" with gold wings above it, and the STS-107 mission patch on the left chest. She rests her right arm/hand on her black-and-white NASA helmet. The helmet's reflective visor shows faint reflections of lights and surroundings. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag on the left with stars and stripes visible, and a dark blue NASA banner with partial text "AND SPACE A" (likely "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") on the right. The background is softly lit with a gradient of warm tones, emphasizing her poised and approachable demeanor as a physician, naval officer, and space explorer who tragically perished in the Columbia disaster. The overall composition conveys professionalism, pride, and dedication to space exploration.

US Navy Captain Dr. Laurel Clark tragically died during her first space mission (Space Shuttle Columbia). She was a mission specialist on STS-107, a 16-day dedicated science mission, conducting experiments focusing on bioscience & gardening in space. She was born #OTD in 1961.

You can make a difference. Probably not The Difference, that singular impact that changes the world. But you can light a moment in someone’s life. You can help someone, lift someone, change a moment in a life. And enough doing that, for enough someones, can move this world.
