Great White Egret with a fish.

I felt lucky to get such good views of this great white egret at Chard Reservoir this afternoon. It flew towards me and then spent some time fishing close by. Lucky for me - not so much for the fish. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #SomersetBirds #Egret

"For if you put me to death, you will not easily find another, who, to use a rather absurd figure, attaches himself to the city as a gadfly to a horse, which, though large and well bred, is sluggish on account of his size and needs to be aroused by stinging." Socrates, as quoted by Plato in Apology

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had a pretty sunrise with some nice cloud accents, but they all disappeared on the right 40% of the frame so the OCD in me is a little disjointed. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Send ICE agents to Iran. They already have the outfits.

I tried chicken farming once. It was a total disaster.

I've no idea if I planted them too deep, or too far apart.

Currently trending on X.

The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

The lowest effort/biggest payoff dad move is making donuts the morning after a sleepover using canned biscuit dough. Kids get to shape the donuts and make a glaze and go crazy with sprinkles and whatnot. www.pauladeen.com/recipe/canne...

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

BREAKING: Trump launches attack on Iran, and Donald Trump still hasn’t released all of the Epstein files.

Tell your representatives: don’t lose focus, and keep the pressure on!

Let's do a thread of hopeful and/or life affirming movies. Whatcha got?

I'm going to be a basic bitch and start with 2025's Superman, which I thought was outstanding. I didn't think I could get behind a new Superman these days, but Corenswet was perfect.

16 yrs old: Me & a bud take the NBC tour in Burbank. We're the ONLY LA folks there, we befriend an NBC page, he arranges for us to visit the Tonight Show stage. We stand on Johnny's monologue star, sit in his desk chair, meet him backstage, watch the show.

Greatest. Day. Ever.

I never really imagined that my mid life crisis would be fighting fascism. . .

A bunch of pale yellow primroses and their green leaves against a background of dried leaves, twigs and rotted bark at the bottom of my London garden.

I’m usually away at this time of year, invariably missing the moment when the primroses start blooming at the bottom of the garden. It is difficult to think of a plant that carries the hope and freshness of spring the way a primrose does. Worth staying home for.

Some guys in uniform just sign a baseball when they're asked to sign a baseball.

But if a kid asks Aaron Boone to sign a baseball, he gets a whole conversation..:

About baseball!

A magical moment on the trail yesterday: an unexpectedly close encounter with a great blue heron creekside. Usually we just see them as they fly away like at the end of this video but this one gave a few moment to take in its beauty first.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.
