This katydid from Ecuador has been affectionately named by photographers "candy-cane katydid". The truth is... we are not sure which species it is. One possibility is a Harroweria nymph, but until someone witnesses the transformation into the adult stage it will remain a mystery.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

this is undeniably accurate and stop doing saneism. Also you do need to vary things up a bit, so: bootlickers, toadies, cowards, pathetic, miserable, humiliated, nerds, dorks, national embarrassment, absurd, excrescence, turd, little man, fart-goblin, flag-humper, soulless, unlovable,white boy

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too.
