I just want you all to remember that there is an animal called the HELLBENDER, and it's this lil' guy.

The yellow waterlilies have appeared.

Happy birthday to Colm Meaney, who started out on Star Trek: The Next Generation as just "O'Brien" and didn't get a first name until season 4. (In the TNG pilot, he was just "Battle Bridge Conn.") His character became a fan favorite and then a (beleaguered) main character on DS9.

A cat panicked when it realized that the one stroking it was not its owner. 😮🫨

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Happy #Caturday

Thank you, Rep Joyce Beatty! Nobody else tried to do it. I appreciate it very much!👏👏👏

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

My homeland is leading the world right now.

You guys know that Elysium movie with Matt Damon? The one where all the rich live on a beautiful orbiting space station and leave everyone else rotting on the surface of a collapsing planet Earth? Pretty sure that’s now actively the goal of our ultra-rich and they’ll do anything to achieve it.

Well, it’s not AI, it’s real and very embarrassing…..

Had to call the bus service I use to double check the rides I have scheduled, took the time to talk about how much I appreciate the service and its workers and say thank you, the secretary typed all of my compliments into the live chat that the drivers use🥹

A study in contrasts.

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

This fungus was growing in a French wood - son James popped his specs on it!

Who’s next?

Zuck just casually sailing his superyacht into town the same week that he laid off 20% of his Seattle-area workforce is pretty brazen. Fuck up nearly 1400 lives and then wave at them like royalty from the deck of his floating Taj Mahal.

I just saw The Mandalorian And Grogu, and regardless of my opinions about it, this father/child duo was very cute to see

Happy 55th birthday to Paul Bettany, who has always understood the assignment.

Happy birthday to a triple bill of horror royalty 👻 🦇 Christopher Lee was born today in 1922. 🦇 Vincent Price was born today in 1911. 🦇 Peter Cushing was born yesterday (close enough!) in 1913. Now that’s spooky…

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

"Being half the man Christopher Lee is, is more than I could ever hope for. He was a true gentleman, in an era that no longer values gentlemen." Director Peter Jackson remembering Christopher Lee, born 27 May 1922.

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy." So that's how we describe inflation now, huh?

Here are some nice mushrooms

I’m a Roly Poly, not a garden pest. The soil, leaves and rotting plants are my home. I help break down decay and return nutrients back to the Earth. I don’t bite, sting or destroy your garden. I’m just a tiny cleanup crew, doing my part for nature. PLEASE DON’T CRUSH ME FOR EXISTING. 🩶🩶🩶

And the most pathetic and disgusting part is that they would.

Happy heavenly birthday to the man behind Hammer’s Van Helsing, Holmes, and of course, the Baron. Who could imagine a world without the irrefutable gentleman of horror that is Mr Peter Cushing? We salute you, sir! 🖤

I just finished watching "Nope" on Netflix. DANG!!!!!!!!!! Yes!

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Lizard of the day: Earless monitor lizard! A semiaquatic species from Borneo! They're endangered and are not true monitor lizards, but are related to them. They're nocturnal, quite inactive and not agile. They typically feed on aquatic species and can swallow prey underwater!
