One of my almae matres now has a building that looks like bamboo steam baskets for dumplings. (Wasn’t around when I studied in 2013-14) #ntu #singapore #nanyang

Imagine being a priest or a nun, and devoting your whole life to something that doesn’t exist - wasting the only life you’re going to get, in the mistaken belief you’ll get a β€˜better β€˜one when you die.
This explains why the priests and nuns in my school growing up were such evil, sadistic excuses for humans - they knew the mistake they had made, but couldn’t get out of the cult., and it slowly poisoned them.
In that, I take some form of comfort knowing that they hated their lives, like all the kids hated themπŸ˜‘

Hard work.

I spent my day working outside in the yard laying SOD. I ordered a way too expensive pallet of SOD that was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but it came this morning.

While I was taking a break in my backyard, I noticed this Red Spotted Purple Butterfly and started chasing it around. I guess you could say that I get distracted easily. I'm outside working and ... "look butterfly"πŸ˜‚. Anyway, I wanted to catch it in the air, and I actually got a pretty good shot except one wing was out of the frame. But this photo of it on the lawn isn't too bad, and the bottom side of the wings is more colorful than the top.

I was just out running an errand and drove by a pileated woodpecker on a telephone pole. I didn’t have my camera but stopped and snapped a pic through my windshield. Just as I was ready the woodpecker moved. It’s not a good pic … C’est la vie. πŸ™‚

I’m sitting in my back yard. The pigeons are here. Sorry 😞, I didn’t notice Ben’s photobomb. πŸ˜‚

russian authorities have committed a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in various regions of Ukraine, many of which amount to war crimes, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in a new report Thursday.

Yesterday we saw this handsome guy sitting pretty at the Desert Museum in Tucson.

This changed the moment the first public account of the massacre appeared. Thompson broke cover.

He refused to keep quiet or minimise the crimes committed, despite pressure from press, the military and a hostile Congress determined to cast him as a traitor.

He stood up. He testified at the public enquiry. He was vilified by many. /14

Gonna start a GoFundMe called "Nothing is currently wrong, but I live in a capitalist society so it is only a matter of time".

The world would be a better place if every buying guide was as brutally honest as this one from @nilay_patel.

There’s not β€œliberal” and β€œconservative” news. There’s the news, based as close as can get on fact and truth, and then there’s propaganda, filled with lies and distortions.

Fox is the latter.

@ScottSoCal
I love/hate this story.
I like the idea of getting of crows become my friends by leaving them nuts. But I think of the downsides. They scream at you!
Or, let's say you get picked up for questioning by the cops.
The cop asks you, "You're hanging out with all these crows..."

One of my co-workers is a crow. He shows up a couple of times a week, to knock on my office window and scream at me. I'm pretty sure he's an efficiency director.
Today I decided to appease my co-worker and leave mixed nuts on the windowsill. He showed up, screamed until the other efficiency director came, both ate the nuts, then paraded back and forth in front of my window, berating me for wasting time leaving nuts when I should have been working. Fine, be that way.
But I'll do it again.

DeSantis is punishing the Hyatt Regency Miami for hosting a Drag Christmas ball back in December. He’s actually taken away its liquor license.

DeSantis is out of control, obsessed with oppressing freedom and gender identity expression and willing to abuse state power to do it.
