Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Which one would you paddle into? Yellow Alert for @wsl Final in Fiji having me think about seeing Teahupo’o in person for the first time. Nothing quite like watching this wave roll on through and spit out from the channel. #shotwithcanon #teahupoo #tahiti #frenchpolynesia #wave #surf #photography

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.
