Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

A dear friend made this for me when my mom died and I just opened the package this morning. Struggling with tears.

'A dream come true': Author from Arizona gets support from Stephen King, who inspired his writing career An author from Phoenix who spent brutal summers with a horror book in hand says a specific writer and Arizona's climate helped shape his path to becoming a published horror writer.

LOOK AT ME MA I MADE IT I'M A HUMAN INTEREST STORY

So grateful to my hometown ABC affiliate for this lovely and appreciated segment on I KNOW A PLACE! Huge thanks for letting me ramble about how much the desert, horror, and, of course, Stephen King mean to me.

Oreodonts are extinct mammals that looked similar to pigs and sheep, but were more closely related to camels. They are the most commonly found fossil in the White River Badlands in South Dakota, and this exceptional specimen from our collection shows an oreodont curled up inside its burrow.

Oh

Why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Don't

Be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

'Cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say The White House said President Donald Trump is not ruling out any options in the war with Iran, including the possibility of ground troops. About 140 US service members have been injured since the beg...

NEW: Iran has begun laying mines in the strait of Hormuz. Would Trump like to send Brain Kilmeade to "show some guts" and captain a tanker through there now? www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

No one is this world wants him so you’d have to send him to outer space.

The problem is I don’t think space needs to be poisoned by his evil.

At the dog park, a man had two Labs, an adult and a puppy. When he wanted to leave, he sent the big one to get the little one and bring him back.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Labrador retriever actually retrieve a Labrador.

Multidimensional faith with no prejudice or scorn. The man was a genius. I miss his presence in my world. RIP you Legend!

The growing hatred of Jewish ppl is one of the most awful of things. Especially since it's clearly a propaganda fomented on the internet. Jewish ppl in the US voted 71% for Madam Vice President, who wld have given a ceasefire two state solution, which wld have ended significant horrors.

Imagine this. Trump has lifted the sanctions on Russian oil. That allows money to flow into Putin's coffers to build up his military. It also allows Putin to funnel weapons and weapons technology to Iran. So imagine if lifting the sanctions is actually funding Iran's retaliation on the US.

The Blue-winged Mountain-tanager is a vibrant Andean bird. Imagine a bird the size of a hand with a velvety black back and a brilliant golden-yellow chest and belly. Its most striking features are the shimmering blue patches on its wings and tail, and a distinct golden crown atop its dark head. It moves in lively groups through misty cloud forests, foraging for fruit.

It was just announced today that Trump is illegally withholding parts of the Epstein files that say he raped a child. Some of these men have daughters. When everything comes out about what Trump did to those victims, I hope these men are haunted by this photo for the rest of their lives. Disgraceful.

Stop the Epstein war, prosecute the Epstein oligarchs.

Interesting niche of crocketed inflexed arches with intricate foliate finials at their intersections framing a cusped irregular hexagon. The niche bears the effigy of cleric. A reminder that churches were once colourful places

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Liftoff!

At 12:19am (ET) Tuesday morning, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket. Sent to space was the EchoStar XXV mission, a television broadcast satellite for DISH.

This was the view over the Indian River Lagoon seen from Palm Shores, Florida.

Thor's Helmet, taken from my balcony

Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region, visible only for a short period during the winter season. It also remains quite low on the horizon, right in the middle of the light-pollution belt. These are nearly 21 hours of integrated exposure. πŸ”­
