One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.

The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

When Al Queda flew planes into the World Trade Center, the international community was outraged. Where is the same outrage as Russia flies drones into people's apartment buildings? Does sin have a scale? One day I hope I can have the courage of a Ukrainian who wakes up and faces terror each day 🇺🇦
All morning, russia has been deliberately targeting residential buildings in Kyiv.
I’m sitting in the hallway right now; a UAV is flying somewhere near my home.
Will it kill my family?

Trump turning previously comfortable seating into a cold, fragile facsimile of his bathroom is such a 2025 vibe.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

This victim told a driver that she couldn't report Trump raping her because "They will kill me." In 2021, another victim said that Epstein told her girls who don't behave are fed to alligators and took her where they die. He threatened to kill her and her son.

People who think evil, corrupt, and incompetent don’t go together have it backwards.

Instead of looking to Hollywood to explain real world evil, look to Hannah Arendt. Uncorrupt people of integrity won’t do evil. And evil leaders work to elevate incompetents because that helps ensure their loyalty.
"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

These are the same people that are claiming the US GDP grew to 4.3% due to "increases in consumer spending, exports, and government spending." They just can't stop making shit up.
The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.
