A Near-Full Rotation of Uranus: We are witnessing outer planet Uranus take center stage and pirouette. Uranus is one of the Solar System’s strangest planets, laying on its side and spinning like a rotisserie chicken. The featured video is composed of over 1000 spectra taken over 15 hours.
Just use the first five words of the Guardian headline. Cut it off after 'Hegseth' and it's an accurate caption.

We were able to help this puppy who was found one week after his owner passed away ❤️🩹

MAJOR BREAKING: Epstein survivors just announced they will release their own list of names… 🙄
How thoughtful of their lord 'n' savior to leave room for their future cankles.
Sorta like the orange abomination not having any notion of what groceries are and how we losers obtain them?

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)
The flooding in King County last December prompted King County Public Health to issue a safety tip guide — in comic-book form — educating residents about what to do should you find rats in your toilet.

Pure political retaliation. Cruelty because DHS believes it can act without consequence.
No amount of compensation after the ordeal is enough, even if they have the chance to file suit, even if they want to relive it.
What punishment would open these agents' eyes or hearts?
Can they learn?

A new 2,159-sq-km corridor in Ecuador now links high-elevation Andes ecosystems with the lowland Amazon. This "altitudinal connectivity" between Llanganates National Park and Yasuní Reserve is vital for species migrating in response to climate change and habitat loss.

GOOD! Because the House isn't doing shit!
Meme. Colored drawing of medieval-looking people fishing in a stream with nets and wicker traps. It's a busy scene, and the people look somewhat happy and also industrious. All of the figures are muscled and would look quite dangerous if they came upon you in a dark alley with their nets and spears and all. Right now they're only fishing for fish. If they became fishers of men, they'd make for an excellent mob of muggers. * The ladies have leaves in their hats, which adds a festive air to the event. It's clearly a fishing party. They all have colorful shirts, but the men are wearing brown shirts only. Apparently, fishing (like so many other things in life, it seems) is only manly if you wear the right uniform. Likely they are also saying condescending things to each other, and comparing the size of their eels. Boys will be boys, etc. You can't see any fish or eels, but they're there. Judging you for your sins. Meme text reads: "TFW your revenue stream is dammed complicated" * Not muggers like the mugger of Mugger-Ghaut, however. Though that would explain why they're all in the water.
Are you having trouble keeping your eels to yourself? The Prior of Hardham understands.
In 1400 he accused locals of diverting water from the his stream & stealing his fish. The stream had been good for 4,000 eels per year. But now the Prior complained that he could only get 200!

Not to mention all of the educated public.
YESSSSS!
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has begun evaluating the state’s Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program as gray wolves continue returning to CA.
During the workshop, livestock producers and wolf conservation groups helped outline the evaluation process.

It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.
These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
These people were openly plotting to manufacture false pretenses to undermine federal law and overthrow the constitutional order. Clark, the ringleader, was already under indictment for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.
And then we just . . . put them in power again.
Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”

Wow, what a perfect summary; I couldn't have said it any better….
