Please enjoy this delightful photo caption from a scientific journal article (translated from Dutch)
A person is holding a herring (and a blue circle indicates the fish’s butt, I think?) The caption reads “DIGITAL SQUEEZING OF HERRING PRODUCES HERRING FARTS. Feel free to try this at home!”

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

The granddaughter does love books, but when we went to story time at the arboretum she took one look at the crowded room, announced, “No,” and headed for the exit. So we went through the nature center to look at more animals, like this “alligator.”

An ICE agent directed Emilio, a Venezuelan Deaf man, to get onto a bus. He asked for an interpreter and didn’t get one. When he saw a Mexican flag, he realized he was being deported to Mexico, sans passport. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey, is there a way to summon bird people here? 🪶 Wondering if I’m correct that this is a robin fledgling, not an injured adult. My yorkipoo Abigail did grab it briefly but it’s hopping & flapping as it was before that. Saw an adult robin on the fence, so I’m hoping this bird is ok & just needs time

For the first time in 5 years, the girls had to be apart while little Abigail was being treated for a kidney disease flare up, but then they got to hang out at a writing retreat! They enjoyed the extra attention but didn’t get any work done

It’s the anniversary of the cake I saw on the local news that’s supposed to be Kate Middleton holding her new baby. Why is she wearing a wedding dress? Whose face is that? Why does she have a curly blonde mullet? The universe holds many unanswered questions

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

When heard I’d be getting a Reading the West award I looked up octopus costumes for dogs, of course. But they wouldn’t arrive on time so I attached some elastic to a plushie to make a hat for Abigail, who joined me for the acceptance video See winners & nominees here readingthewest.com/winners-3/

I will never read a better sentence than, “I am here to share how Jesus healed my anal glands.”
Facebook post with a picture of a beagle. The text reads, “My name is Oliver. I am here to share how Jesus healed my anal glands. My caretaker would have to take me to get them drained every 3-4 weeks. She hated it. I hated it. But it had to be done. Then one night she prayed over my body by the blood and Name of Jesus. And something happened in my body. It has now been about a month and a half since I’ve needed this service.
 I don’t have the leaking issues and scooting I used to. My body is at peace now and it’s due to the healing power of Jesus mixed with faith. He cares about your animals. I’m off to go play with my friends. 💙
