Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
So cool!
Art. Of. The. Deal.
I wish science could explain what’s happening.

So will we get a TACO Tuesday for the ages or the war crime of the century 🤔
This dude is totally cooked. Somebody take his keys away.
Just awesome 😍
Wood storks and great egrets nesting
We just got here (Daufuskie) last week and there is the most ballin' rookery. I already have more photos than I have time to go through them 😅
Science fact: storks both make and deliver babies.

Can't get over how similar Mike's pic is - not the same cactus 😂 🌵

Wow this is so similar to one we have on our property! Pic from last year:

Sometimes a headline just really nicely sums up the times we live in.
NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.
there is no they, there is only us

Pams are trending.
I choose to believe that the second trending 'Pam' is Pam Poovey.

This is the post directly above yours in my feed. Not sure whether they can go lower, but it's not for lack of trying 🫠
