Went to the movies to see Pixar’s Hoppers. Hoppers was genuinely sweet and hilarious! I constantly found myself laughing out loud & clapping thru out the movie. I felt like I’ve seen this kind of slapstick humor before. Not knowing the creator of Hoppers also made We Bare Bears! Go see it! #hoppers

20 years ago: ‘Bodies came falling out of the sky’ in Concord water park tragedy Overcrowded slide failed as Napa High seniors tried to set a school record for “clogging,” pitching 33 students 30 to 40 feet to the ground.

If you watch the TV show “The Pitt” the water slide disaster in the show happened here in Concord back in 1997.

I saw that when I drove by the fields in Alameda. I couldn't find parking or an ice cream truck so I kept going.

A 400mm lens is a photographer's best friend. Especially when you wanna get close to something. Beautiful weather here in Alameda, Calif. #photography

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.

I defy anyone to justify this.
