Graphic with a photo of Senator Elizabeth Warren speaking. Text reads: β€œWe 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.

Photo of a several orange mushrooms growing in a cluster on the white bark of a birch tree. The mushrooms are attached to the tree with the gill side outward and are roundish to somewhat ear-shaped. The centres of the mushrooms contain a small amount of white fuzzy tissue.

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.

Boy, 7, dies of brain condition caused by world’s most contagious disease β€” 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 β€” and killing β€” years later.

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

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

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.
