RFK, Jr.: "It's amazing how quickly the flu spreads in crowded classrooms. It's a total mystery. No one knows why."
PETE HEGSETH: "It's a well known fact that the flue *can't* spread in a crowded submarine. Jesus said that. Or did I read it on the bottom of a beer bottle cap? Another mystery, man!"
I love this

Underrated response!! 🏆
A tightly cropped Hubble view of a vast star-forming region known as the Trifid Nebula. The top left is bright blue. Brown and amber colors run from top right through the center in irregular, overlapping lines to the bottom-center. At bottom right, the view is almost black. Tiny, amber-colored stars appear throughout the scene. Toward the left there is a prominent brown shape that looks like a head with two horns. The left horn points left and is wavy. The right horn is triangular and points up. The brown dust continues, flowing down, as if along a back, and up toward the top right. A prominent line, about the same length as the left horn, appears below the middle of the body, and changes from orange to red. A small, separate semi-transparent pillar is left of the head. A few slightly larger, blue foreground stars with four diffraction spikes appear throughout.
NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TRIFID NEBULA TO START OFF ITS BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! 🌌

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

The Cost of Loving I love you more than life itself but I swear I’ll love you better if you let me turn the heating off and you wear another sweater. I cannot get enough of you – I’m completely in your thrall. I love to watch you bending over to unplug the telly at the wall. Yes, you’re the only one for me, my sweet and fragrant flower – now you’ve ditched your daily bath for a cost-efficient shower. Make no mistake, I love you loads, you send my head into a spin. Our cycle’s set to eco-wash: let’s cram as much as we can in. My cup of love’s full to the brim, it overflows, my petal. So make yourself a brew with me, but don’t overfill the kettle.
Today’s poem is called ‘The Cost of Loving’.

Life imitating art.
A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....
On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain
But sometimes it is so right on the nose.
The Question Erm, well – I begin, shifting nervously in my chair – if it’s true there is no heaven and no hell, no eternity or long hereafter, no divine plan or offstage direction from an invisible hand, then how do we make sense of it all, how do we make our way through this life, this glorious, ridiculous, ramshackle world of ours, with its wars and brutality, conflicts and petty arguments, the ten thousand tiny acts of kindness which happen unnoticed before breakfast, and all that love and pain, happiness and loneliness that comes to us unannounced, by turns, as if we ourselves were pitched daily onto the waves of one of its vast, mysterious oceans, not knowing whether today is the day we drown or we find ourselves washed up on some strange but friendly shore? Mmm – you say, after a lengthy silence – what I meant was … do you have any questions about the job? Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘The Question’.
A vivid digital artwork of a planetary nebula resembling a glowing cosmic eye, with a bright central star surrounded by concentric rings of blue, gold, and white gas. Wispy, luminous filaments radiate outward into a dark star-filled background, creating a dramatic, swirling halo effect.
The void blinked, and in the gap between darkness and forever, an iris of azure flame and gilded interstellar dust unfolds. Tendrils of dying starlight comb the black for a last embrace—a universe-wide sigh dressed in a halo of final, radiant breath.
What he says…
"As of today, I no longer consider myself a murder of crows" is going to be my go-to assertion from henceforth.
Did anyone else, anyone at all, consider Sean Hannity as a Catholic?
Seriously, this is like me saying "As of today, I no longer consider myself a murder of crows."
