Pie ad, 1947. President's day is coming up in a few weeks, so why not remember that time that George Washington braved the pie slices in the Delaware... Delightfully goofy. LOC flic.kr/p/2rGFqA7 #c20th #advertising

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs—70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab. When asked whether he would patent the vaccine, Salk told journalist Edward R. Murrow it belonged to the people, and patenting it would be like “patenting the sun”👇

Further to that last post of mine - in case you were wondering what an Australasian swamphen looks like (formerly known as the purple swamphen - for obvious reasons), here's one I photographed at Mount Gambier in 2022. This one exuded attitude 😆 The are beautiful birds.

Cold day where you are? Elegant Dutch folks of the Golden Age had no problems with that! A+ ice sailboats bc of course. Dogs also having fine time. By Adam van Breen, whose day was today.

For today’s Exhibit of the Day, let’s visit the Tarugo, a dazzling elbaite tourmaline. This gem is one of the finest large crystals ever found. It is notable for its exceptional quality and unique cranberry color.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Why Miss Fortune! What sturdy ankles you have! Have you considered trying out for our local curling team? #GirlsOwnCC

Don't look at me like that Esmerelda! I was looking at the #GirlsOwnCC hashtag, certainly not that other trending Sunday hashtag.

President Trump tells The Atlantic that the interim Venezuelan president will meet a fate worse than Maduro’s unless she complies with US wishes. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

I’m reading a new (expensive hardcover) book published by Viking and have tripped over two glaring typos so far, one of which - monring instead of morning - would surely have been caught just by running basic spellcheck. 😕

My friends in Austria sent this and I can't stop watching...wait for the end. 🤗💜

So my fellow old people: get your vaccines for shingles, pneumococcal disease, RSV, etc.

This is definitely not a SCIF and, among many other things, this alone is a major national security breach. Random third rate intelligence agencies would have known about this attack before Congressional leaders did.

How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

America is not going to be rescued from utter fascism by Democrats, at least not those currently in power.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Hopefully people won’t use the utter lawlessness or recklessness of this to blunder into suggesting Maduro or his government were good, or to disparage the people who have suffered under him.
