Large white mushroom cap with a slightly wavy edge, scaly surface, and a small hole the size of a pencil with in the middle. The mushroom is growing in the grass.

Anyone know what this is? Popped up in our meadow after the rain. Usually, we see amanitas. It's a big one, the size of my outstretched hand.

Do you know what park? This is horrifying.

This one hurts. #GenX

I need these food companies to market vegetables to my kids, not more bars and fruit snacks and cookies. Like, bring out the Paw Patrol Pup Salad and the Transformers Veggie Patties.

The fundamental weakness of Elon Musk is lack of it.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

It can't get a distributor in the US.

Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Medicaid Cuts Would Leave Millions of Americans Without Health Care. Yet "Musk and Republican House Speaker Johnson have been among many Medicaid opponents loudly promoting false, stereotyped accounts of widespread waste & fraud among its low-income recipients."

I love a good choir.

Tesla Is More Vulnerable Than You Think How to cost Elon Musk $100 billion.

The largest part of Elon Musk's wealth is Tesla, a company with an insanely inflated stock price that is wholly dependent on positive consumer sentiment. Tarnishing Tesla's brand could plausibly cost Musk $100 billion.

Jane Fonda Says ‘Woke Just Means You Give a Damn About Other People,’ Calls on Hollywood to Fight With Empathy in SAG Awards Speech Jane Fonda was honored on Sunday night with SAG's life achievement award.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor.
