Its a massive failure of US news organizations that there's almost 20 stories ahead of even a mention of Epstein on (Yahoo) the news today. Including nearly a half dozen attack ads about Gavin Newsom, the likely Democratic nominee.

Good evening to everyone. Sometimes it is important to take a few deep breaths and relax, for even a moment. Look deep into this photo from Burnt Lake this past fall, and just take in the beauty of nature in this time of ugliness. We (MN) will always be here for you.

Alongside some top-notch animal names, we got some fantastic compound words and a few untranslatables too!
