Do I answer my own questions? I think not. Atheist. Ever notice how most wars are religious wars? Nazis should be punched in the face. I often post pictures of birds and other random objects to offset my the news. (Pictures my own unless noted.) NO AI

Sometimes I think there should be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in baseball like there is in football because there's getting to be way too much hotdogging by the millionaire athletes. I know that emotions run high, especially during the playoffs, but c'mon, man. Just run the bases.

There are not many artists whose work you can immediately recognize, but Peter Max was one such artist. RIP Peter. #art #artist #PeterMax
A colorful piece of artwork is shown with a big, brightly colored sun reflecting in a small pond. Above the sun is a Saturn-like planet and stars in the background with what appears to be an angel, holding a rose, gliding in front of the sun. There are trees around the pond which have all different cars of leaves.

🎆 Fireworks suck for almost all pets and wildlife but have fun I guess #fireworks #wildlife #pets #dogs #cats #4thofjuly
How Fireworks Harm Humans & Other Animals

Birds - Can be frightened to death
Wildlife - May abandon dens or nests
Sealife - Can die after ingesting firework debris
Companion Animals - May try to escape the noise & run away from home
Humans - PTSD can be triggeredFireworks explode like magnified gunfire in the exquisitely sensitive ears of all creatures

Bees become so disoriented they don't go back to their hives
Birds have panic attacks at night, causing mass deaths
Wild animals raising babies abandon their dens in fear
Fish & other animals perish after ingesting firework debris
Humans have PTSD
#SilentFireworksFireworks Safety for pets
Keep your pets inside your home
Give them a safe place to hide
Drown/mask out the noise
Update their IDs and microchips just in case they run outside
Keep them busy
If needed, speak to your veterinarian for medication optionsDos and don'ts for pet owners during firework season

Do:
> Keep pets safe indoors 
> Provide hiding places for pets
> Provide toys and other things  that they would enjoy
> Keep doors and windows closed so pets do not run away 
> Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks and avoid bright flashes 
> Put on some music or TV to mask the firework sounds 
> Microchip your pets in case they escape outside 
> Soundproof and light proof cages with blankets but leave an area for pets to look out 
> Provide bedding or a comfortable nest for small animals to burrow in
> Walk dogs before the sun goes down

Don't:
> Set off fireworks near animals
> Play with fireworks in a residential area
> Leave pets alone

Big bird in the shape of an inverted teardrop stands on a rock as it surveys the area. The bird has greenish feathers on its body, blueish feathers on its head and an area of brown on the lower sides of its head extending down to its chest. The bird has a big pointed beak that seems to extend from its yellow eyes.

Happy Valentine's Day. ♥️ Two male Buffleheads diving together. #Photography #Nature #birds #wildlife
Two birbs are swimming together. Both birds have a body that is white on the bottom and black on the top. Their heads are also black and white, white on the back of the head and black on the neck, top and around the eyes.Two birds are diving for food. All you can see are the feathers of their black and white tails.Both birds are now fully submerged. There is just a ripple of water where they were swimming a moment before with a splash of water droplets above the water's surface.

A bird stands on the stalk of some wildflowers. A single stem covers most of its beak as it looks towards the camera, one eye on each side of the stem. It does not seem amused.

The average (& median) age of U.S. presidents at death is ~73 years. Trump is currently 79. He doesn’t exercise besides golf. His diet sucks. He only sleeps 4-5 hrs a night. He’s living on borrowed time. Tick tock, motherfucker. The world will celebrate a new holiday upon your imminent death.
