No Gillian now I can't unhear "fuckjet"

Oh gosh, this is terrible. Thinking of you and your colleagues.

The massive (TM) on the MAHA background just says it all.

Yup. One of my first jobs was at a dealership. Everyone is scamming and being scammed by everyone else.

Yup. I’m here for a recall sadly. It’s so ridiculous, very much a captive audience situation

Thanks. My skin is crawling!

I am at the dealership having my car serviced and let me tell ya, I’m convinced dealerships are truly the worst and most American of institutions. It is CRAWLING with ambient dudes with a variety of grifts.

Truly a prime example of "know your audience"

My grandma was in a skilled nursing facility a while ago after a fall and it was sheer chaos, exacerbated by a massive in-hall AC unit to replace a broken one in full summer heat and a best of Tom Jones album on repeat and volume 11 at the nurse's station. I couldn't stop laughing

I must say that the hope of climate scientists has been sustaining over my years of reporting. It's nice to have people who get it holding hope

EW. I saw protein ice cream the other day and like...we could just not

I am convinced we're in the midst of a meat industry waste product reclamation bonanza with the current protein trend.

Epstein is often the most casually dressed person in the photo, but the body language tells you who was perceived to be in charge.

One thing that stands out when I look at photos of Epstein and his rich friends is the submissive body language of his male counterparts and friends. They so obviously wanted to impress him, despite and probably because of the blackmail power he wielded.

Marsh Clubmoss (Lycopodiella inundata) shoots creeping across a wet, bare substrate. The shoots are bottle-brush like, bright yellow-green with narrow, untoothed leaves sticking out from the main stem.

A series of Marsh Clubmoss shoots criss-crossing the flush, looking like a group of yellow-green centipedes running across the muddy ground

**BREAKING NEWS** - Marsh Clubmoss refound in Dunbartonshire, at a site where it was last recorded in 1854!

Being more-or-less evergreen, clubmosses make great botanical targets all year round. With that in mind, I set out to hunt for Marsh Clubmoss near Inveraran on the shore of Loch Lomond 🧡

Adorable of Haribo to put a ziploc seal thingy on this bag of gummies, as if there were a chance in hell I 'd eat this entire bag of candy slowly instead of immediately and with great vigor.
