...Honestly can't say I've heard people complain bout the framing of the shots, more how it conspicuously seems to be eating the Owl House's lunch.

In 1982, quite by accident, a zookeeper at Izu Shaboten Zoo in Shizuoka Prefecture discovered that capybaras absolutely loved soaking in hot water, and the practice of providing them an onsen, or traditional Japanese hot spring, was born. Source Massimo; video @yu_haradakei.

With Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health status still unclear after his latest medical incident, multiple journalists have offered a stunning theory for why his office and fellow Republicans have remained largely silent. McConnell was rushed to the hospital in mid-June for an undisclosed medical reason, with his spokesperson David Popp issuing a vague statement regarding the reason for the hospitalization. It wasn't until last week that media outlets learned McConnell had been discovered "unconscious" at his home and had to be administered CPR for potential “cardiac arrest.” It remains unclear why McConnell’s staff refused to share details, but some, including independent journalist and crypto commentator Adam Cochran, have a theory. “In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election,” Cochran wrote Saturday in a social media post on X. “If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date.” According to Kentucky election law, independent candidates have until “the second Tuesday in August preceding the regular election” to file to run in the case of a vacancy that occurs after the state’s June filing deadline. And, with a medical expert recently declaring McConnell, “even if he is alive, unfit to serve” based on details of his latest health incident, Cochran suggested that Republicans may be seeking to avoid having ousted Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) make a last-minute grab for McConnell’s seat. “So all they have to do is drag their feet until [the second Tuesday in August], then tell you that he didn’t make it,” Cochran continued. “And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.”

Have had some suggest that if Mitch is dead, that the GOP are using his being incapacitated as a dry run for if/when Trump dies in office, with the intension of obscuring his status for as long as possible to avoid any special elections (like when Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and his wife was president for a while by puppeting his body and pretending her orders were his).

Opposing it requires he has a spine, or at least Peter Thiel would have to take time out of his schedule consuming the blood the young and yelling the Pope is a Chinese communist to give JD his marching orders.

Don’t let fake fans tell you different, Trek has always been queer 🏳️‍🌈🪐🚀

A small, bizarre pterosaur from early Cretaceous South America. A member of Ctenochasmatidae, a pterosaur group characterized by their filter feeding dentition. Using modified teeth on the bottom jaw and crushing teeth on the upper jaw, Pterodaustros sifted shallow waters feeding on small creatures. A feeding style similar to flamingos may have resulted in pink coloration.

This is a series of illustrations that imitates the style of old medieval paintings and adds a macabre flavour by incorporating some of H.P. Lovecraft’s famous monsters. The text is mostly medieval Middle High German. The artist, Robert Albauer also illustrates great fantasy maps.
