WAKE UP BABE, THE FIRST NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF 2025 DROPPED!!!

Many mostly small, bright objects scattered over a dark background in space. In the top half on the right is an elliptical galaxy, a round light larger than the others, with a slightly warped ring of light around it. In the bottom half there is a barred spiral galaxy, big enough that we can see its bluish arms and its core in detail. Other objects include distant galaxies and nearby stars.

Pink fire retardant is widely used to tame wildfires each year because it can slow flames in ways that water can’t. But it also comes with a toxic burden, because they contain heavy metals and other chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment.

I'm already really tired of my timeline being full of people disparaging winter, so, fellow winter lovers, let's share how wonderous this season is.

These photos were from one winter day along the Straight of Juan de Fuca.

a photo from a rocky jetty of the sea which is a greenish color contrasted with dark blue clouds above, a single seagull stands on the jetty

a huge ass chonky sea lion half in the water with eyes closed and a derpy smile, his back golden from the low winter sun

a view down a spit covered in low grass, driftwood and kelp, water on both sides a forest in the distance and behind that snow covered mountains

a frothy surf with waves on a shingle beach with driftwood and washed up kelp, mountains in the distance

Fox News host Jesse Watters: The fact that Canadians don't want us to take them over makes me want to invade. I want to quench my imperialist thirst.

We live in the absolute dumbest time in American history
