Forgot to share that on our whale watching excursion 3 days ago this Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) by SeaSatellites, Inc. passed by. So curious who deployed it and what it’s measuring at the moment! 🧪🦑

Donald Trump is more than an individual mad man. He is the symbolic leader of a global movement of regressive & far-right politics that is impacting us all in our own countries. We are working to unite the struggle for all those impacted by Trumpism Join our meeting June 12th💪

Warning ⚠️ some may find this a tiny bit upsetting. While in the garden, I walked past several times, musing that dried twigs resembled a frog. On closer inspection, I discovered it was an actual sun-dried frog. Poor frog/toad. #Amphibian

@seanferrick.bsky.social @trekculture.bsky.social Watched Galaxy Quest many times, but never before had I spotted @elittlechild.bsky.social 🧐 Was this the director's cut? I must have been watching the theatrical version all this time. And did she get back there by TARDIS, she can't be that old 🤣

Remember how Trump convinced people he was a brilliant businessman? Now, he’s repackaged himself as some kind of “alpha leader.” But just like his businessman brand, Trump's strongman persona is crumbling right before our eyes as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

Dippers are the UK’s only songbirds that swim underwater, walking along stream beds in search of food. Fledglings bob eagerly at the river's edge. Fluff-ball shadows of their parents, they'll be fed for around 2 weeks before they learn to brave the current. #SpringStories

Watching a TV show called Tracker starring Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw (played Green Arrow in Smallville) This woman is playing Colter's sister. She seemed familiar. What Star Trek character did she play? Hint: Look "Beyond" the trek TV shows. #StarTrek
