So is the world run by eccentric sociopaths and criminal oligarchs?

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Since the Epstein thing is destroying MAGA, expect Foxnews to find some new trans athlete to be outraged about soon.

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

What a day when I’m in alignment with Rand Paul. That’s how far we’ve come.

Leigh Lake, a calm lake with clear reflections of Boulder Island, a small island covered with pine trees, and Mount Moran, a large mountain looming in the background. Dense forest lines the shore, and the sky is clear.

Shot this from Isabelle Glacier last summer. One of those mornings where everything lined up... the timing, the trail, the silence, and the moon hanging just right over the ridge. Glad I was there for it. It all starts with being there. #glaciermorning

A high-resolution photograph taken from Isabelle Glacier in Colorado, showing a rugged alpine ridgeline beneath a deep blue morning sky. The jagged peaks dominate the lower two-thirds of the frame, their rocky textures catching angled sunlight that casts long, crisp shadows. Small patches of lingering snow cling to the steep terrain, emphasizing the elevation and harshness of the environment. Above the ridgeline, the moon appears large and luminous, caught just before it dips below the mountains. The moon is in a waxing gibbous phase, its craters and surface details visible against the clear sky. The image captures the stark contrast between the rough, sunlit rock and the cool, soft presence of the moon, suspended in the atmosphere. There are no visible people or signs of movement—just geology, light, and timing. The photograph conveys a fleeting moment of calm and precision in a harsh but beautiful high alpine landscape.

Taiwan is a beautiful place with lovely people. My wife thought it looked like a 1950’s postcard. I’ll take it! #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #photography #SunMoonLake #Taiwan #Nikon #DSLR #Travel #TravelPhotography

I’ve been fortunate to travel to China. The Great Wall made it difficult to take a bad pic. So scenic. #travel #landscape #photography #eastcoastkin #scape #greatwall #china #beijing #nikon #blueskyphotographers

The last line about “more children being deported” - where are they deporting them to? Does a 7 year old know what country they’re from and who would pick them up at the airport?

Let’s face it. It’s nearly impossible to take a bad pic from the Yosemite valley floor. These images are ubiquitous but they remind me of my time there. #photography #eastcoastkin #photooftheday #photographersofbluesky #yosemite #california #scape #landscape #travel #travelphotography

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

In 2014, I spent 10 days in the Republic of Congo. One night I camped in a remote village where drummers played literally all night. In the morning, I took photos of some of our wonderful hosts. #photosky #portrait #photo #photography #nikon #republicofcongo #africa #village #blueskyartshow

Wading through my backlog of images from last Fall. This is a local pond in Solon, Ohio. I have to scoot out of there after sunset, as the posted sign says that they lock the gates after dark. #photography #Pentax645Z #landscape

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!
