My humanity is the one thing they cannot take from me through legislation, through force, through fear. It belongs to me. And I will not surrender it, not even to my own rage, not even in the name of the people we have lost. I will not let them take that too.

A functioning State Department would have helped with intel, no? But the current regime thinks that professional diplomats are as useless as the allies that they foster. Our global intel now is junk.

If they made a crayon the color of his face it would be called Greasy Stool. Yuck.

A pair of galaxies sit side by side. On the left is a roughly circular lenticular galaxy. It has a bright yellow-white center and is surrounded by a series of concentric shells, which appear as arc-like glowing features with sharp outer edges. Swooping vertically across the galaxy is a stream of translucent blue material, which also forms a horizontal line blow the galaxy. On the right is a smaller spiral galaxy. It has a yellow-white center that transitions into spiral arms that are dotted with blue star clusters. The black background of space is dotted with many stars and a few small background galaxies.

This interacting pair consists of a spiral galaxy (NGC 470, right) and a lenticular galaxy with spectacular shells (NGC 474, left).

Kristi should take some comfort that she didn’t end up like her poor dog for being crazy and out of control.

Listen, if you were a sand crab you would see the halibut as the the very embodiment of all earthly terrors and doom. Otherwise, not so much.

An acrylic painting of super-deformed robin. A small bird, with orange face and belly, greyish-brown back and wings. Its underbelly and top of the head are grey. More or less. It's looking at something with pleading eyes. Because it wants more SEEDS.
