I went to the library to get a book on conspiracies but they didn't have any.

Coincidence? I don't think so!

When reviewing an academic book, it is always polite to quote something towards the end in order to suggest you’ve actually finished it.

Call your dog "Stain" and you'll have people looking at you funny when you call it.

Next5 year's party is going to be LIT! (Count the wordplays).

Everything We Know About the Neon Orange Shark Discovered in Costa Rica It's just a nurse shark, but it has creepy white eyes and bright orange skin. Now, scientists think they finally know why.

Don’t flush goldfish, they just keep growing!

Good morning, Bluesky. 🌞
I was taking a photo of the sunrise on Malapascua Island, in the Philippines. I turned around, and the sun, low on the horizon, created a rainbow. I included the old wreck.

What a difference 3 weeks can make for a dog ❤️

Two realities. Same place 🇹🇷

We can all change things if we have a will, you can change their present & their future - never forget that

We do it every day

a shoulders-up headshot of an ancient chinese crested. his body is mostly hairless, with thin wisps of white. but the fur of his face and ears is forming an enormous heart shape from having been blown out by a fan. he’s rocking the salt-and-pepper look of an ambitious Helena Bonham Carter role, with more black along his neck and a bold gray streak atop his noggin and along the edges of his ears. his left eye is one big cloudy blue cataract.

This is Ricky. He was a runner-up in a pet photographer's "My Fabulous Weirdo" competition. Unfortunately when you are this fabulous, it can be very hard for the weird to shine through. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: portraitsofdogs)

* The fresh layer underneath starts out bright green.

* Because different patches are at different stages, you get that striped, multicolored effect.

Kamlager-Dove: Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. Prices have gone up, and this dude is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you. Fuck him.

Magyar Péter on State TV M1 "We Will Shut Down This Propaganda Media" 15/04/2026 [ENGLISH SUBTITLES] YouTube video by Hungary Media

Never have I been so invested in an interview of which I did not understand a word.

Hungarian Prime Minister Elect Peter Magyar visited the studio of the state broadcaster, who had been vehemently antagonistic toward him, and calmly and eloquently eviscerated them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMCV...

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

For years Iris lived on a chain after being used for breeding. There wasn't even shelter from the rain or the sunshine.

The day I found her she was as broken as a dog could be.

To see her now, healthy again and with her family on a day trip is just perfection. She couldn't be any happier ❤️
