A good day for otter spotting in Cork City. Eating, scratching and swimming in the River Lee this afternoon. This male otter is called Acorn - named after the acorn shaped scar on his nose. Thanks to photographer Chris Martin for the heads up. #cork

The Obama Presidential Center is more than a museum; it's a space for those on the South Side and for all visitors from near and far to enjoy. Here's your sneak preview of the new Chicago Public Library branch inside — and a few books I would check out if I were you!

I need to know it was the same stunt person for *all* of those clips. Like the stunt fella was so over it by the last fall or two. He *knew* those stairs so well and was *so* bored. The thrill was gone there. You can just tell.

To be fair, wood pigeons are not the worst choice. They're pretty big and slow... Probably easier to catch than the average fish, but... Not sure how often wood pigeons are near water... Hmmm. Might be terrifying to watch, honestly.

Otter pair on the River Lee, Cork City this morning. We have seen this pair a number of times and believe them to be mother and male cub. The vocal one being the cub. Can't show the full clip due to @bsky.app video size restrictions which is doing them no favours in building their user base. #cork

This otter is called Finbarr. He got his name from local wildlife photographer Chris Martin (@looselenscap on instagram). Finbarr is possibly Cork City's fattest otter which is remarkable given that he is missing both an upper and lower canine. River Lee, Cork City this morning(Sat 14th March) #cork

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Yes. I've found that the "who did you vote for" question here in Ireland always is coming from a concerned, progressive angle. It's always anti trump. And I love it.

And yeah, everything about this person implies she's a trump voter. Gross. Just wake up, woman, and realise what you've done. YEAH, Irish people are going to poke fun at you, especially when you act like a privileged American red hat fuckwit. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Plus ..I mean... There ARE permeable parking surfaces, if we really must have more parking. It's not difficult to use the honeycomb grid style to keep areas permeable and car friendly although that's really not the point.
