is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

And scene.

Once again thinking about this @theonion.com article:

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

It is Rachel Robinson’s 104th birthday. She is an accomplished nurse, decorated professor & is probably most recognizable as the wife of Jackie Robinson. They married before he integrated baseball. She’s a civil rights hero who was there the whole way as a stalwart in global resistance to oppression

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

Jeffrey Short, a former ICE agent from Asher, OK,was arrested Aug. 2, 2019 after two underage girls accused him of sexual misconduct. ICE substantiated in 2008 that Short preyed on a 14-year-old girl and was accused of showing pornography to minors while an ICE agent, but he was never charged.

Sen. Mark Warner: "The only election that Trump is concerned about is 2020. That was the election that his administration was in charge of. As a matter of fact, Mr. Ratcliffe was DNI then. He's CIA director now. If there were mistakes made, why is he CIA director?"

A Sandhill Crane colt stretches his/her wings before running and flapping down the path, managing to get a couple of feet off the ground. One of the Sandhill Crane parents ran after the colt, who had stopped just around the bend.

DHS investigated ICE officer Jeffrey Lane Short ten years earlier in 2008 and substantiated ithat Short preyed on a 14-year-old girl and was accused of showing pornography to minors while an ICE agent. He was never charged and went on to become a city council member and molested other girls.

My God. If 🇺🇸 had maybe a couple hundred thousand of people who believed insanity like this, maybe we’d have a chance. But this is ⅓ of our country!!

Before you play the video quoted in this post, I want you to guess what the lady's going to talk about I will offer two spoilers to orient you: - She's a Donald Trump supporter - The Pope is part of the convo If you end up guessing correctly, tell me. Because I guarantee you will not.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

An Oregon teenager paid $3 for a vintage uniform worn by one of basketball’s all-time greats. Sotheby’s thinks it could be worth $250,000.

A bespectacled, wide-eyed scientist who came to resemble the birds he so loved, David Johnson dedicated his life to working with owls, studying their behavior and working to safeguard their habitat.

Years ago, Reuters had a cock up with their internal correction system and made this glorious article about Bees where they replaced "The Queen" with "Queen Elizabeth"

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

These guys did a good thing on vaccines recently. It's important that we acknowledge it., by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Whatever could be said about that claim when he made it in 1962, it soon became undeniable that government vaccine research, distribution, and mandates are objectively among the greatest achievements of civilization. Claiming otherwise is embarrassing, it's like saying you don't wash your hands.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, I can't breathe the air, and I'm infected with a parasite that the CDC stopped monitoring. But at least now there will be ball-tanning stations on America's military bases.

A pair of Red-tailed Hawk siblings. They will soon be going their separate ways, but since fledgling they have been staying close to home and to each other.

THE WHALES ASCEND. THEY HEED THE CALL. Only ‘Emergency’ knows the truth.

We are all going to have so many kinds of diarrhea

it changes color by filling the area with a clear liquid, and since the color is structural and not pigment, the liquid just changes the index of refraction and targets different wavelengths to bounce out! (You can do the same thing with a butterfly wing in alcohol! blue morpho wing will go green!)

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

This must've been the best part of the log, all of the Painted Turtles were gathered at this end. 🐢

BBC engineers built robo-cameras disguised as dung heaps to film wildlife at distances no human crew could ever get close enough to reach.

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Many enemies of the United States seek to undermine faith in American elections—but “no regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president did tonight,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/2TpBeFGB

Tom Nichols about Trump’s speech: “It is pretty laughable when the president said: ‘we are not trying to reduce confidence in our elections’—that’s exactly what they were trying to do.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.

People have become jaded to it, but a President who threatens to outlaw media in a free society should be immediately removed from office. Trump's words are completely antithetical to the core American commitments of free speech and free press.

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.

Every and any vote for Todd Blanche is a vote for grown men fucking underage girls with legal impunity. This is a sentence that contains no hyperbole and that is nonetheless shocking and debilitating to write. That's how depraved this administration is.

We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:

This, to me, is the important part of the speech that mattered. Trump clearly wants DHS to take a greater role in interfering in elections. DHS should have NO ROLE WHATSOEVER in the state election administration. PERIOD.
