Picture from Salt Springs on the overlook trail. There are hemlock trees throughout with a mostly bare forest floor, with part of an old stacked stone fence to the left. The sky is overcast, but there is some light showing through the trees.
Someday, I'll pay more attention to what "20% chance of rain" really means ... I took this pic before PJ and I got soaked.
OK .... the president has decided to join Iran in furthering the energy crisis caused by the elective war he started.
I didn't know what dumb shit he would do next, but I don't think I could have guessed this.

June Saunders, Women's Royal Naval Service, stands on the fo'c'sle of her boat preparing to make fast. Official Admiralty photograph by Harold William John Tomlin, Plymouth, November 1944. Imperial War Museum: A 26516.
Women have always gone to sea and faced the sea's dangers. Women were in many of the naval losses chronicled here, and are numbered among the casualties. Remembering them, and all the women afloat and ashore whose lives are caught up with the sea, on this #InternationalWomensDay #NavalHistory
The image shows a text excerpt discussing a humorous perspective on intelligence, comparing humans and dolphins. It notes that humans have traditionally seen themselves as more intelligent than dolphins because of their technological and societal achievements like the wheel, New York, and wars. Conversely, it humorously suggests that dolphins believe they are more intelligent for precisely the opposite reasons: simply having a good time in the water.
Are humans really that intelligent? 🐬
Ice reminds me of Reserve Police Battalion 101. A group of middle-aged men, unfit to be soldiers, that murdered tens of thousands with hardly any accountability.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism
Operation Epstein Distraction
Trump bombed a girls' school in Iran, killing around 100 girls and teachers to distract from the news that there are credible allegations that trump raped a 13 year old girl (documents relating to this were illegally withheld by the DoJ)

The crazy part to me is that republicans opposed the measure because they saw it as anti-trump and feared his retaliation …. Like, do you not hear yourselves?
From Wikipedia:
To me, it's disturbing whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents a failure of the Justice system. ... The vigilante anti-hero is fundamentally a critique of the justice system, an example of social failure ...

“Dom’t believe women, months of hardcore reporting, and solid evidence. This rando likes me.”
Work rules take effect this week for states around the country, cutting access to one of the nation’s most vital anti-hunger programs.
JD Vance's strategy for succeeding Trump as head of the MAGA movement is predicated on retaining and exciting the support of violent Nazis all around the US. That's what makes his Holocaust commemoration so unique.
It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
I told an asexual friend of mine that I'm allosexual.
She said I just haven't found the right garlic bread yet.
seeing corporate outlets repeatedly refer to ICE beating the shit out of protesters as “clashes” may be the thing that sends me over the edge
Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it.
Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂

And of course, there are the right wing troll farms pumping out content.
Are there Venezuelans fluent in English? Yeah
Are there Venezuelans happy that Maduro is gone? Probably
Are there Venezuelans happy with the idea that the US going to take over and pillage their natural resources? Doubt it
But the media can probably stitch together that narrative.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
"The Dems are the ones that worked with Epstein ..."
The headline should be: Trump claims to be a Democrat in bizarre tweet.
The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
