Did you steal this from the @borowitzreport.bsky.social or did the Borowitz report steal it from you?

Let's #Relax with the #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday October 4, 2025. Crocodiles chilling next to the Tรกrcoles River in Costa Rica. The biggest ones were about 2.5 meters long.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow September 27, 2025 here's a bit of
#TheRoad, specifically #TheMotherRoad, or #Route66, in central #Illinois. You can find remnants of the original roadbed "If you ever to want to motor west" h/t Bobby Troup

For the #BlueSkyArtShow on September 20, 2025, the theme is #angles. Here: people walking up a STEEP angle at #SleepingBear dune overlooking #LakeMichigan. One of the most beautiful places in the US; it is hard to appreciate until you have been there. #midwestbeautiful #photography #eastcoastkin

A dragonfly perches on the end of a cut rose stem with its transparent sparkly wings held forward covering the head and body. It has a yellow and brown striped thorax and a long, narrow pointed dark blue abdomen with yellow sides next to the thorax. The head is almost completely taken up by the large smoky blue eyes with red spots on top. I think this is an immature male that is still changing color and the eyes will be solid turquoise as an adult, and the entire body a dusty blue. Pachydiplex longipennis.

And why not another wasp defending its #home for the #BlueSkyArtShow. This one is (probably) a Great Golden Digger Wasp (Sphex ichneumoneus), photographed in #Indiana. Still #midwestbeautiful.

Itโ€™s so frustrating because that other version of the picture is so obviously photoshopped.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

yeet me into space.

i don't condone vigilante justice or extrajudicial murder. but kirk has certainly peddling in the language of political violence for years.

he called for derek chauvin to be pardoned.
he called daniel penny a hero.
he turned kyle rittenhouse into a conservative martyr.

I canโ€™t even believe I got this photo. I wasnโ€™t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasnโ€™t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx

Silhouette of the great pillars of Angkor Wat temple and the surrounding trees, reflect a mirror image in a pool of water. The sunrise changes the sky and a few clouds pink, orange and dark blue.
