So wonderful to see you all again!

Russia bombed Kyiv overnight, killing at least 8, including a 6-year-old boy, and injuring 82. Among the wounded were 10 children, the youngest just 5 months old.

Putin keeps bombing Ukraine because Trump lets him.

They find it fun, honestly. It's a cool opportunity to feel badass, even when it's just pulling completely nonviolent people out of cars.

"Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?"

Yes, they were fine, and good to dance to.

Scotland doesn’t want Donald Trump to visit despite him always claiming he’s making us respected on the world stage.

Three shots of a green-silver colored caiman wreathed in 4-6 colorful yellow and orange butterflies. He blinks in two of the shots, looking delighted somehow, while the butterflies swarm his head. CREDIT: Mark Cowan.

This photograph series by Mark Cowan documents a phenomenon called 'lachryphagy' ("tear-feeding").

The caiman excretes salt in their tears & the butterflies need the precious minerals for their metabolism & reproduction.

So, they're feeding on crocodilian tears.

What a great idea!

I thought the one thing I knew how to do was cook. Then I got a Blackstone griddle. I'm having a good/scary/hot/expansive learning experience; just my cup of tea.

How 2 emaciated pigs in Williamstown shed light on the lack of animal rescue regulations in Vermont - VTDigger Two runaway pigs have set off a storm of accusations. Some say animal rescues, as a whole, need reform.

We are thankful to @vtdigger.bsky.social for helping shed light on this case. It takes a village to make these cases happen. As we have seen with other rescues, the mental scars of suffering never truly leave their body and soul. They need SANCTUARY FOREVER. vtdigger.org/2025/07/17/h...

Exactly!

This is just magnificent. Absolutely perfect.

Hundreds turned out on a very muggy evening here in Washington to protest the Trump administration while honoring the legacy of the late John Lewis, who passed away five years ago to the day.

Lovely.

🌼 Mayor Bonnie! 🌸 She had her best season yet in her new wheelchair today. We're tweaking and making adjustments every day to get her more comfortable and mobile. She's so eager to GO!

Not only "deplorable," but also depraved.

Colorado health insurers propose huge price increases following passage of GOP's federal spending bill Colorado health insurance prices in the individual market are poised for a big increase following passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

It's been less than two weeks since the Big Bad Bill was made law & Colorado insurers already proposed 28% rate hikes on average.

That's 300,000 Coloradans whose rates will go up because of Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

Safe to say this bill is a complete disaster.

Trump and DOGE Continue Wrecking Social Security So They Can Rob It | Common Dreams A collapse of the system is the goal. They cause the crisis with cuts and then hope to force a fire sale to private equity, the robber barons of the modern era.

When you lie for a living, you get really good at coming up with crazypants ideas.

I found salmon in the freezer with a 2022 best if used by date. I thawed it out; it smelled ok, so I griddled it. It tasted kind of stale, but we didn't die.

Incredible how much Trump policies help Chinese communists.

For Trump, Domestic Adversaries Are Not Just Wrong, They Are ‘Evil’

For Trump, "evil" is no longer a word reserved for terrorists or immigrants but for domestic political opponents and journalists. And in casting his adversaries as evil, he is seeding the ground for threats of prosecution, imprisonment and deportation. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/u...
