This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

1/ Something which I don't think gets articulated clearly often enough is that a system where countries generally respect international sovereignty and territorial integrity is not pure charity or morality by the United States, but in its direct interests. Despite it being the strongest bear.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

DOJ is trying to block an independent monitor for the Epstein files, arguing courts can’t enforce the Epstein Transparency Act and lawmakers lack standing. Their position amounts to no court can force the DOJ to release the records.

Thanks to Mayor Q!

Good morning Bluesky. Happy #caturday.

What bugs me, is that it seams like everything else in the political world, that either you know how world shattering the President of the U.S. being involved is, OR You think, that is fine. No problem. 🤯🙄🤯

I am sickened by ICE! I assume the agents are being traumatized too, but not nearly as bad as the people they are doing good this to. Of all the parts of the government we SHOULD shut down. ICE PLEASE!!

Democracy is falling out of Fashion. If you don't want a dictator/king, vote Democrat across the board. Even if you don't "Like" something about them. This is NOW The Republican Way.... #BlueSky

This economy is worse than it looks! The headline numbers average out the extremes, but the underlying picture is one of wealthy consumers thriving and everyone else trading down... qz.com/trump-econom...

I feel the analogy of this, with me trying to explain why I don't like mornings. Retort: just go to bed earlier. Me: I can't sleep earlier, and the earlier I go to bed the longer I lay in bed awake. R: Just get yourself more tired during the day. Me 😱😞 But I do love this little dog.❤️❤️💋💋

Sabrina Carpenter responds to the WH stealing her song to use as background music in a montage of ICE arrests.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

The Home Depot in HP was terrorized by ICE this morning. A person was hit by a vehicle and was responsive when taken to the hospital by an ambulance. However, the details of the incident are still unclear.

3I/ATLAS CHECK THIS!! Scientists are saying that this body that is traveling through our "backyard" is NOT Acting like a natural body ie: comet. There are specific timed (thrusts) is the best description, and many other unexpected aspects. SERIOUSLY - NO JOKE It might be Intelligently driven!! 😱🤯

WONKA is such a great Movie. 📽 They don't really make just good clean, thoughtful movies much anymore. They really spent time on the story line and surprises. ❤️ If you haven't seen it. Take the time!

I feel like people are much more motivated by negativity than by positivity. Hating on bad politicians: yay everyone's down! Supporting good politicians: ehhh I'm just not Excited Boycotting to hurt a company: wheeee! Supporting their indie competitors: mehhh overpriced

Happy Chompsgiving!

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

I'd never vote for Rand Paul, but on this issue he's absolutely correct. This is a clear and profound distinction. No declaration of war. No evidence of crime. What Trump & our military is doing is mass murder. It's no different than any mass-shooting of innocents – just with bigger (military) guns.
