I'm celebrating half a century on this planet today and it's also #WorldWildlifeDay. I know there's a lot of darkness, but the world is still full of so much beauty. Let's celebrate it by sharing our favourite wildlife photos.

Men of War 13 (791)

'Evening, Killarney.' (1941) Speaking to an art critic in the 1930s, Paul Henry said: 'What always strikes me about the Irish landscape is its otherworldliness. There's an air of mystery about it ... you feel that anything may happen round the corner.'

#OtD 3 Mar 1913 thousands of women marched in Washington DC demanding the right to vote were attacked by a mob while police stood by. African-American women joined the parade despite the racism of organisers who tried to exclude them stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1020...

The Under-the-Radar Texas Election Far-Right Billionaires Are Watching In the battle between the traditional business wing of the Texas GOP and far-right billionaires, the billionaires are winning.

Will Don Huffines survive recent scandals over his secret purchase of Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch? TBD. Is this the wildest Texas Comptroller race of all time? Probably.

🐋 Our marine mammals are the wild pulse of our ocean, but their home is being wrecked by Big Oil.

If we want seas full of life, we must stop expanding fossil fuels into their home 🌊

FORTY-SEVEN NEIGHBORS shackled and loaded onto this Global X ICE flight today at Baltimore’s BWI.

There are four ICE flights a week now taking our Maryland neighbors to detention centers down South.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

We have met a lot of Welsh people.

"A timeline of the president’s thoughts on “good genes,” IQ, and which disabled people should “just die.”

They left out January 20, 2025, when Trump used the racehorse theory to compliment Musk and his son, X.

We're demanding transparency from GoFundMe about the creation of over 1.4 million fundraising pages in charities’ names without their consent.

GoFundMe must remove the unauthorized pages, change its practices, and take steps to protect charities and donors from being misled.

If you appreciate gallows humor imagine you are a student in this class for the first 35 seconds of this lecture.

This is another lesson within a lesson Iago.

WE. PICKED. THE. DAY.

It feels like cable-TV bundling. The provider says "We'll give you these 60 features / channels," and there's no way to say, "I actually like these 14 features / channels, but please don't subject me to the other ones."

My new pickleball motto bitches

Exactly!

Yup! Like give the AI option that’s fine but now trying to edit without it is giving me photos that look like old school double exposure. I gave up and let it give me AI face but now I’m going use the less effective Apple editor until they do the exact same thing.

Welp google has ruined another of my pleasurable experiences by forcing AI into the photo editing tools. Nothing works now.
