Are we fucking great yet?

Pastel of Newnham mill pond, Cambridge. I worked the surface of this one quite hard, using crushed pastel with water when it became unworkable.

Every family deserves a strong start in life. Cash for groceries, for rent, for a car seat – for whatever their newborn needs. This partnership with the Bridge Project will help get 150 families the cash support and resources they need.

SCOTLAND'S FAIRY COFFINS In 1836 in a rocky crag known as Arthur’s Seat, a little cave was found containing 17 tiny coffins, 4 inches long, inside were miniature wooden figures. They remain mysterious and associated with witchcraft, fairy funerals & mock burials #FolkloreSunday

They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

Grandpa Larry is such a kind soul

The thing is that movies with older women in leading roles like Harold and Maude, Fried Green Tomatoes, Moonstruck, Sunset Boulevard, Steel Magnolias, The Queen, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, anything with Dame Judi Dench, are just some of the best of cinema.

From the comments @Jesus: my coworker James I have been working w him for 5 years He is unable to retire as he cares for mom & he needs the $ for bills. He is a retired NAVY VET & has been working at John Wayne airport for over 20 years and he definitely represents all of us!

A retired vet that age should not be working at all. He should be getting everything he needs by the very country he defended with his life.

Let people decide elections not businesses.

Wade Boggs from 1982-89 hit .352 with a .443 OBP, winning 5 Batting Titles and leading the League in OBP 6X.

Oh, dear lord. 🙄 The stupidity NEVER ends.

Yeah, Lindell has been paying for polls and releasing them to outlets like the NY Times who happily publish them. A very Trumpy tactic.

The 7th-9th century Papil stone (Scotland) has a combination of Christian symbols - the cross, the monks and the lion which represents St Mark - and pre-Christian symbols- two bird-headed men pecking a human head. From a visit to the National Museum of Scotland in March. #StandingStoneSunday

Green Broadbill (aka lesser green broadbill) one of the birds I really love; came from the montane forest for a long bath on an extremely hot & humid day. #greenbroadbill #broadbills #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Better sound on & full screen: One more video of the Little Grebe (dabchick) babies. They sound so cute and look so adorable with the stripes. #littlegrebe #dabchick #grebes #grebettes #humbugs #birds

He's completely incompetent, even apart from being deranged.

She just keeps on workin' 💪 Angel Reese (69 games) is now the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 950+ points and 850+ rebounds, surpassing Tina Charles (75 games). #WNBASeason30

America's gun psychopathy continues: *191* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest: a 33-yr-old man fatally shot 3 family members at home (a man, woman, and boy), then turned the gun on himself (Thorton, Colo.): kdvr.com/news/local/4...

The GOP Platform: Protect the fetus; starve the child. Honor the soldier; abandon the veteran. Enrich the corporation; fleece the worker. Quote the Bible; ignore the verses.

I do remember. It was 2 months ago.

Rhodes: What have we learned? These Iranian drones that you can make in your garage have hit our bases, have hit our Gulf Arab allies. An aircraft carrier cannot stop a speedboat from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

I feel like it’s been known for decades that Iran could close the strait with speedboats. Since 2007 at least. Even the Examiner weirdos reported that. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washing...

Hegseth war gamed it on a bar top with shot glasses and beer schooners. The schooners stopped the shot glasses every time. Kash kept trying to send shooters through, but Hegseth downed every attempt.

As Spring has progressed, & following last week's rain, the fallen branch near Burrator covered in moss, wood sorrel & ferns has grown even more ferny & wood sorrely #Dartmoor #Devon #WildflowerHour

I kinda feel guilty eating this ice cream. 😬. 🍽️

2 months ago, a rescue pulled her from the euthanasia list at a shelter, where they picked her up starving after months as a stray. She's got a full belly, no more worms, and she's napping in the sunshine. My heart. ❤️ I will always choose rescue, and so should you. #rescue

I just want one day where I don't want to scream "WHAT THE F$#@!!!!" Is that really too much to ask for?

The Boston Red Sox are 8-17 at Fenway Park this year. The kids are very hungry.

Lilacs are about to come out and if you don't have lilacs, I truly apologize.

Oh that was so fun! Best of the season so far #CanadianGP

The state of America in four panels.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

The San Diego Zoo hatched it’s first ever Stellar’s sea eagle chick (an endangered species) which is a huge plus for its kind!

No Helen of Troy was probably not Kenyan, but I am more certain that Odysseus would not have been from Boston so I guess we'll all need a little suspension of disbelief when watching this modern film adaptation of a 2800 year old work of fiction.

Did you know these are the only active gas streetlamps left in Montreal? Installed in 1998 with Énergir to replicate the city’s original 19th-century lighting, their warm, flickering glow perfectly highlights the street’s stunning Victorian storefronts and warehouse architecture. #Montreal

And that's the ballgame! Giants win 8-5 against the White Sox! Hingle McCringleberry avoided an excessive celebration penalty. #sfgiants #NothingLikeIt #ThisIsTheWay

Pufferfish are famous for their ability to inflate into a round ball, a defense mechanism that helps protect them from predators. Original post
