So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Gateway!

For #BlueskyMonday. Another #infrared #colorswap. This fogbow was persistent. I photographed it with my color and infrared cameras for about 30 minutes. They are rare to see. I've only photographed them a few times. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #fullspectrum

This is the first I’ve seen a clean-cut Pedro. Completely changes his look! (And utter heartthrob either way.) Also didn’t know he could dance! Thanks for sharing this.

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.

Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

⚪️ Not AI 🪄 Just pure JOY ☃️

CONGRESSWOMAN MCCOLLUM STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S UNLAWFUL MILITARY STRIKES ON IRAN SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Congresswoman Betty McCollum, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, released the following statement in response to President Trump’s unlawful militar...

“Let us pray for the U.S. service members who have been given orders to fight this war.”

That’s it. No proposed action beyond a directive to pray and hope for the best. Pathetic.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Board Of Peace = Bored Of Peace.

Before and after you sell your soul to the devil.

Class act right here. I hope they go!

#SundaySermons It would be easy to head for home after seeing the glories of Wells' cathedral, but it was worth making the effort to find St Cuthbert's church.

The finely carved wooden pulpit of 1636 was reached via elegant stairs & holding up this edifice was a Stoic band of eagle base brackets.

For #Stunday some details of the wonderful neo-Gothic church I visited for a concert on Friday.
Warmed up the images a bit to convey the magical atmosphere of hundreds of flickering candles that filled the room.

This song always chokes me up, which is rare for me. Probably because of its relation to City of Angels. That OST, btw, is top notch.

Something about hummingbirds, always put a smile on my face when I see 'em :3

The Gen X urge to spin you right round, baby right round.

It’s fine! Except for Bethesda getting in bed with them. Maybe Bethesda can cut and run and go back to developing games instead of MMORPGs. Anywho, come on over to PlayStation! The water’s great!

AI is a fancy parlor trick. Nothing more.

Could not agree more!

The pastel colors in the sky this morning struck me as beautiful.
