Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Ran into this young muskrat out enjoying an evening snack at the local wetlands yesterday. #wildlife #muskrat

A muskrat sits in the shallow water, chewing on a green reed. Have a great day!

On Halloween, Pope Leo will rise like the Great Pumpkin to visit the Bishops with most sincere pumpkin patches!

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

I'm so old, I'd put stereo equipment on lay-away and ask for cash to pay it off on the holidays. No one had to wonder what I wanted!

I don't think the media talks enough about Republicans destroying the integrity of contracts.

Contracts are supposed to be binding documents. Courts are supposed to enforce them. This principle underpins the entire economy. If contracts mean nothing now, why would anyone do business here?

Random dude tells woman with PhD in that field that she is flat out wrong, thereby proving her point. How refreshing! I'm sure he also believes he could beat Serena Williams at tennis. First block of the day.
