I think cows in an electric enclosure would have been more fun and chaotic, but they’re worth too much money these days!

This is the fantastical bloodlust of a slighted kindergartner on the playground. He hasn’t progressed emotionally or morally from that age. Only, we had the poor sense to give him the most power of anyone in the country. November to January (hopefully not beyond) is going to be rough.

And pay in perpetuity to Trump’s benefit. But aside from the asinine idea, there is no way that location would be secure enough for a presidential retreat.

Not a question but an observation: she fulfilled her sentence, made herself available for the remedy imposed by law. She should be set free.

The ‘Rare Species Conservatory’ shows a herd of critically endangered mountain bongo antelope feeding, a species with fewer than 100 left in Kenya's wild forests due to habitat loss and poaching. 😔 IG: @rarespec www.instagram.com/rarespec?stk...

As budget director, Russell Vought has often ignored Congress by … not signing the checks. At other times, he’s been able to take money Congress intended for one thing and use it for something else by justifying it as a “national emergency.” Listen to our latest episode:

It's milk time for Moshi! Every orphan in our care receives a unique milk formula tailored to their species, age and nutritional needs. Keeper Peter has every bottle feed perfectly orchestrated, under the watchful supervision of his adoring zebra shadows, Bombi & Brutus!

They got in a beef with Sony after IV, and from what I understand, their PR budget was scrapped. Shame, as they are a great band and went on to record good albums.

Cool. Meanwhile, used Prius’ are killing it on the used car market, and oh, they can also do this: www.greencarreports.com/news/1137802...

A Prius plus this could power your home through a blackout
Getting a new EV for all-day home backup might not be necessary, as a high-voltage inverter that's been around for a decade will repurpose a Prius to do the same.

THIS. The threshold for locking someone up in an insane asylum was ridiculously low. The LGBTQ community, people on anti-depressants or other mood stabilizers, autistic persons… the list of targets would be long. Profit asylums alongside profit prisons.

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor. (Published Dec. 2025)

Todd Achilles, running as an independent for Senate, has learned from the Mamdani PR bunch and has put out a fantastic campaign ad. I hope the “Mamdani effect” of this kind of political advertising spreads. So much healthier than the GOP doom and gloom fear mongering. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-qC3...

Wow. I lived in Kenya from mid ‘70s - late ‘80s; seeing a tusker then was rarer than later years (though when “elephant crossing” signs were still around). Lovely to see this magnificent animal!

It’s also relatively terrifying that the AI models are learning from social media about humans. Arguably the worst possible representation of humanity that we have. Why would an intelligent* agent not consider us too socially, environmentally destructive to survive?

This is Stetson, our #PMU ambassador against the use of #Premarin for hot flashes in menopausal women. To produce it, #mares are kept permanently pregnant until, exhausted, no longer able to conceive. Their foals are killed or sent for slaughter unless they are rescued, like this beautiful boy.

It’s just a closer to US target for a billionaire’s makeover. Those pursuing Gaza as a ME “riviera” see Cuba as a gold mine, without the religious overtones. The current Board of Peace runs on this imperialistic model, using US military resources to achieve their goals m.youtube.com/watch?v=iSHR...

This is good, but I’d prefer this meltdown with Gaddafi being equated to Trump. Don’t equate him with his heroes (of which hitler is one), equate him with what he hates but really is: a temu Gaddafi.

My grandfather was a formidable Texan lawyer, and Big Bend was one of his favorite places in the world (he worked all over the globe). If he were alive there would be hell to pay, but I’m split because he died not knowing how bad our country would become. Come on, Texans. Stand the fuck up.

We may have a warmer winter, but with the increased moisture we’ll have a lot more ice. And even El Niño can’t save millions from temps from reaching below freezing - 10* is still considered mild up here.

Keeper Peter has a rather zealous support team! His sidekicks and shadows, orphaned zebras Brutus and Bombi, take their devotion to the next level – keep an eye out for Bombi holding Peter's hand, the zebra way! The zebras insist on being first out each morning.
