This time of year is a favorite for nature photographers on the east coast as migrating birds return. Among the most popular returning species is the osprey. This mating pair is setting up housekeeping at Fort Monroe, Virginia. Here, the male brings in twigs to help strengthen the nest.

Tried something a little different..... I took this on the tail end of a foggy, damp morning. Dropped all the color, then added spot color to just the decorative lights and the streetlights. Looking southeast down Mellen Street in the Phoebus area of Hampton VA

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

I just watched Trump and Vance bully, demean, talk down to, and try to intimidate Zalensky. It was disgusting and as an American I was embarrassed by the display they put on. They acted like a couple of punks. Zalensky should've stood up and throat punched the fuck out both of them.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

At a Virginia church over the weekend, a young woman got up in front of the congregation and apologized for getting pregnant out of wedlock. The pastor then said she didn’t deserve a baby shower and told the church not to attend one in secret. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/virginia-c...
