Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

Swalwell's performance is first time this hearing has come to life. He brought up Lyons' comment that he wants deportation to be like "Amazon Prime, but with human beings" & is asking whether Amazon Prime ever shot a mom in the head, or a nurse in the back. Old/young Dem divide here is so stark
