I am optometrist by nature, you know?
Some have asked: profile pic is Bobbie (she/her), GSP mix rescue, banner pic is Mortimer (he/him), mountain cur mix rescue. Don’t adopt hound dogs if you don’t want PITA dogs but they are precious life forms.

I became fascinated with Monet–and Impressionism generally–after seeing three different renderings of the cathedral at Rouen side by side by side. I think it’s at Musée d’Orsay? Anyway, somewhere there are three paintings from the same perspective, but different times of day,seasons, etc.
Monet’s serial painting — haystacks, cathedrals, lilies — anticipated Pop Art and Minimalism’s love of repetition. 🖼️

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

Grady Judd was appointed by Trump to a federal council meant to help exploited kids.
But in Judd’s own department back home, a child victim was made out to be a liar, leaving her abuser free to assault her again.

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

one of the things I think is wild is that recorded music is recent enough that these comparisons never really work. arguably, the whole thing--recorded popular music--is a boomer phenomenon and is on the way to being something totally different than what we have all always assumed was permanent
one more cab calloway thing: he performed "minnie the moocher" in blues brothers, which was a 1931 song in a 1980 movie, the modern equivalent would be aerosmith performing "back in the saddle" in a movie released this year, you're all welcome

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.
