Happy 80th Birthday to the P/S Waverley. Launched on the 2nd of October 1946 at the A. & J. Inglis shipyard in Glasgow, she's the last sea-going passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. This was her heading down the Clyde close to Dumbuck in 2024. #glasgow #pswaverley #clydebuilt

Conrad Black will forever and exclusively be remembered as a traitor who renounced his Canadian citizenship, committed over $6,000,000.00 in fraud, was convicted, and then lovingly shone Trump's penny-loafers with his decrepit tongue to secure an undeserved pardon for his crimes. What a legacy.
Conrad Black: Trump pardons ex- media baron 'friend'
16 May 2019

Conrad Black, who became Lord Black of Crossharbour, was known for his extravagant lifestyle 

US President Donald Trump has signed a full pardon for former media mogul Conrad Black, who he describes as a "friend". 

Black, 74, was convicted of fraud and obstructing justice in 2007 and jailed for more than three years in the US.

Probably her echolocating insectovorous hat. For both cases.
Kingfisher & Wombat (@UrsulaV)
Bearing in mind that I am NOT a scientific illustrator...

Fig 1. Hoary tophat locates prey via echolocation from organs in hatband.

Fig 2. Hat ascends above the prey, while swinging brim forward into feeding position.  This is the most difficult part of the maneuver, as the hat can no longer see the prey and must rely on its last perceived location.

Fig 3. Hat slams shut, trapping prey inside.  As the brim is no longer providing lift, the hat will fall to the ground until the prey is digested, leaving the hat vulnerable to haberdashers.Animal Behaviour

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
