Ok but like isn't this the second or third time Air Force One had to turn back during an Atlantic crossing. I know we all want it to be about Trump, but what if they forgot to pack Stephen Miller in the earth of his homeland, and had to turn back before crossing the water?

A kidney donor and her recipient. Kidney donor is wearing a t-shirt with a green ribbon that says "organ donor." Recipient is wearing a matching shirt with green ribbon that says "contains recycled parts."

What an amazing, life changing gift. Jan. 7 marks my daughter's six year kidneyversary. Her 4th grade teacher donated her kidney through a paired kidney exchange, securing a kidney for my daughter and saving another life along the way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your donor.

I've been grading since 10AM and I'm so burnt out from all the AI stuff...

Someone tell me something good to help boost me up. What cool thing did you do today? Read a good book lately? Make any good art and/or writing? What did you CREATE?

Share!!

Ohmygosh. I feel this. So much. Trying to get them to understand their credibility hinges on the accuracy of their research and inaccurate intel or research disseminated in the career fields they aspire to in my class could seriously endanger people.

Same. Every paper I graded today was flagged as 58% or more AI generated content. Every single one contained fabricated research. Such a time suck to prove that and present the evidence to students.

No Hand Outs? As the world feels like it's giving into more and more hate due to stress, when do we start realizing that the lack of love for giving contributes to this problem?

Giving is and has always been the normal behavior. A lot of people lost the plot when they decided to be overly selective in doing so.

When Light Appears Equal To Darkness The Moon in Tarot is all about the subconscious.

Generational pain gets internalized and turned into judgment rather than empathy.

I've so been there with my daughter. The record for her is 19 attempts, several of which were made by a specialized IV team with guided ultrasound. It just makes you want to cry.

Agreed. Given the current state of things, we must ensure international election observers (OSCE) are present as well.

Can anyone tell me what the white bird in this picture is? This is in Northern Virginia. I get red and yellow finches, house sparrows, cardinals, blackbirds, and blue jays. This is the only all white bird I've seen. He's been hanging out the last few weeks.The Merlin app can't identify it.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.

He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

Hmmm

Let's elevate the fighters:

Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador
Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption
Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees
Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans
Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs
