This part.

The Epstein files are everywhere. Every dinner table, every group chat, every podcast.

And in the middle of all of it, someone who has lived through sexual violence is sitting quietly, paying very close attention to how the people they love are talking about this.

Someone affected is always in the room.

Scotland has become the first UK country to put “swift bricks” into law. From now on, new buildings must include special nesting spaces for swifts and other birds, helping wildlife thrive alongside growing cities. Such a fab way to help our feathered friends!

The sunset is rather stunning in this tumultuous weather event.

The pink rays of the setting sun escape above and through a bank of gray clouds. Their orange glow caps Mt Yonah, outstanding above the mountain ridge.

This is an amazingly sharp image of galaxy cluster MACS J1149, taken by the NASA Webb space telescope.

This galaxy cluster, ~5 billion light-years away, contains more than 300 known galaxies, possibly several hundred more.

At the cluster’s center lies a group of ghostly whitish elliptical galaxies which hold all the galaxies together with their immense gravity.

The image is 3.5 million light-years across.

A Webb image of many glowing galaxies in deep space, in various shapes and colours, on a black background. There are some large, blue spiral galaxies, some large and pale white elliptical galaxies, and many orange and red, medium-sized galaxies. Even smaller galaxies, down to tiny faint spots, appear in all these colours.

@cafechatnoir yeah ... we all know an ice storm in North Georgia means power is gonna go out, possibly for days. Sigh. At least it should stay cold enough for our freezer contents to stay frozen on the porch 😆🙃😆🥶

@varx

Your layman logic is actually the law.

Drug trafficking is a criminal law enforcement activity not a military matter.

This is the definition of no due process.

Rather than going through the channels of the justice system where suspects are arrested & tried where the burden of proof of their crimes is on the government, Trump & Hegseth are simply straight up murdering people. No judge no jury no evidence.

And it is illegal. Plain & simple.

The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. All we know is there are a lot of things going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons. The contract of the actor playing her will surely be renewed through then if not beyond.

Be wary of all these reports that the Democrats are about to cave on the shutdown. The sources all seem to be the GOP administration's favorite access journalists. They pull this stunt quite regularly.

"All of these candidates who won last night didn’t shy away from talking about gender equality and LGBTQ rights. They didn’t buy the theory that doing so would alienate young men. And they were right. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Carville."

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.
