"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

Three Halloween Cats At The Window. Nighttime image of three watchful cats in silhouette, sitting on a cushioned bench at a window, watching leaves blow from the tree outside. The colors of yellow, orange, electric blue and black evoke Halloween. In fact, one cat appears to be electrified. A whimsical and fun, spooky image.

Anyone who's ever lived with a cat can appreciate the alert body stance, cocked head and curled tail of the cats as these fascinating creatures observe the movement outside.

Watching the sunset in Pensacola, Florida is a sight to behold. The glorious colors of the sky, the pleasant breeze and the sound of waves crashing against each other completed the scene of a perfect evening.
