Graphic with a photo of Senator Elizabeth Warren speaking. Text reads: “We spend almost a billion dollars a day on the military. When someone says we can’t afford healthcare, childcare, or paid family leave, the answer is simple. It’s about our priorities.” Elizabeth Warren is identified as U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.

Exactly.
The priorities are clear.
Americans come last.

A small male toad is on top of a larger female toad. The male toad is gripping the female toad using his front legs. The female toad has a look of deep resignation as if to say she couldn't give a fuck, as opposed to the male toad, who clearly is.

Awwww look. The lady toad is giving the man toad a piggy-back up our garden path tonight. He must be tired.

There is some amusing irony in the idea that the US might need Ukraine's help to win a war. And that they were too stupid and arrogant to accept that help until they realized how in over their heads they were.

the onion newspaper is worth it for the ads

Trump doesn’t have the ability to dictate when the war is over.

Nothing bad ever happened after a government demanded a list like this, right?

Boy, 7, dies of brain condition caused by world’s most contagious disease — years after he had it as a baby Even those who make a full recovery from the initial infection face a lurking threat: a deadly disease that remains latent until striking — and killing — years later.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.
