Incompetence is costly. Some Americans are going to learn this lesson the hard way. Too bad those of us who knew better have to suffer right along with them.

I wish conservatives would take a gummy, watch something silly like “Is it cake?” on Netflix and just chill tf out for a bit. The whole world would be better off and they might be able to delay that massive stroke they’ve been building up.

Ahh yes I remember the day liberals destroyed all playgrounds. Curse you woke mind virus! *shakes fist* Seriously though these people are addicted to anger. It’s a wonder they haven’t all stroked out yet.

This microscopic freshwater organism, Limnias malicerta, is a rotifer, recognized by its rotating wheel-like structures. It uses spinning cilia on its head to swim and capture tiny food like algae and bacteria.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Don’t forget polio is looking to come back now that we have measles again. So much winning for infectious diseases.

Close-up woodland floor scene among moss (a bryophyte). A pale lace-like skeletonised leaf lies across a dark decaying leaf, the fine network of veins still intact while the softer leaf tissue has disappeared. Bright green feathery moss surrounds it, with a small woodland seedling and a catkin nearby.

I saw this while looking at moss today...

It would be much easier for me to welcome them back if they gave any indication that they have learned a lesson and won’t repeat the same mistakes again.

Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery Breeding is getting more competitive, suggesting the population is growing, a new study shows.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
