THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

Painted in 1913, 'Corner of the Church of San Stae, Venice,' John Singer Sargent has abandoned the 18thC panoramic tradition and painted a cropped version of the church, creating a more visually dynamic and arresting viewpoint.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

🧵 Not only do kids with IEP plans benefit from them, the other children in the class do as well. The IEP helps individual students with a plan to help them learn in ways that are not disruptive to the rest of the class. The plan that the teachers work on helps the child learn…. #ProtectOurKids

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

FYI to Dems, the reason some of us vote-blue people are foaming at the mouth at you is because, apart from a tiny handful of non-leadership, you're flatfooted on all of this, voting to confirm jackasses, not bothering to grab low-hanging fruit, and begging for more time. No more excuses. Do better.

January 23 is Rhubarb Pie Day! Botanically, rhubarb is a vegetable but is prepared and consumed as a fruit, which is a bit of a rarity. It is “stalked” with great nutrition. Per 2 ½ stalks it provides 325.3 mg of polyphenols, 30% vitamin K, 11% vitamin C, and 10% manganese.

A virtuoso amongst pastellists, the Belgian artist Firmin Baes achieved his remarkable paintings through a technique he developed over many decades, a secret unknown to anyone but him. This work, 'A Woman Sewing,' dates from around 1900.
