“Even in its early years, WHOI was a leader in marine mammal bioacoustics. But Jester said grabbing the earliest known recording of a humpback whale was somewhat by chance.

‘1949, after World War II, the US Navy had figured out that sonar was really important, but we still didn’t know a lot about how sound traveled underwater — the physics of it, how it was impacted by depth and salinity and temperature,’ she said.” - Amy Kolb Noyes

“They voted against the possibility that women's bodies belong to women.

The bottom line: Every single objection was to language that either describes women's actual lives, names their actual oppression, or provides mechanisms for their actual protection. The U.S. didn't vote against ideology.

They voted against women. Alone. In front of the world.
And the room erupted into tears when they lost.” - Jenny Carter

On Tuesday, two southern white rhinos became the first of eight animals intended to re-establish a population in the park. The last rhino there was killed in 1983, the Uganda Wildlife Authority, which is responsible for the relocation, said.
During that period of turmoil, hunters slaughtered every rhino in Kidepo and across Uganda's other national parks, which had once supported around 700 of the massive animals, the Reuters news agency reports. - Jean Otalor

this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. not one thing any of these goniffs do makes us safer, or healthier, or more financially secure. it’s been that way since day one, and it will remain that way until every last one of these thieving bastards is finally removed from power.

what is surprising, however, is when one of these shit-sticks admits it. - Jeff Tiedrich

“The early alarms are never easy but worth it. Out there, it’s more than just the sky. The quiet rhythm of waves against forming ice, the stillness of the snow-covered shoreline, and that cold, clean air—it all comes together in a way that’s hard to describe and impossible to forget.
Not a bad way to start the day.” - Hayes Scriven

Since my time in the service and especially since the 2004 deployment to northern Iraq where I was shot at, mortared on and dodged a rocket propelled grenade or two, I’ve often wondered what it is about asshats like Ted Nugent or Tommy Tuberville or the FOTUS or any other wannabe who had their chance to serve in the U.S. military and possibly in combat but never did coming back later in life acting like they did or whatever. It really is annoying as fuck.

“We’re coming back from the shelter, and the whole ride he just kept looking at me like this—eyes full of confusion, as if he wasn’t sure what was happening. I could see the uncertainty, maybe even fear, but also the tiniest flicker of hope.

He probably thinks he’s headed to another place, another cage, another lonely night. But what he doesn’t know yet is that this time, it’s different. This ride is taking him home.” - We Are Rescuer

Yanno, if the fucking idiots in the FOTUS’s regime were already either unaware or just simply ignored how much there are Middle Eastern factions that really have no use for the West because of its previous shenanigans in the region going back at least to WW1 and its aftermath, maybe their eyes are opening. Then again, maybe not. Too bad the fuckers don’t do the history thing.

With the bombing of the school and now this, the justification excuse of helping the people the FOTUS’s regime has used for attacking Iran is out the window. #USpol #IranWar “The Iranian Foreign Minister is claiming that the Epstein regime has just attacked a DESALINATION PLANT in Iran. If Iran responds in kind, the Middle East could become uninhabitable as there’s not enough fresh water for the populations to survive without their vulnerable desalination plants.” - The Resistance

Pete Hegseth seems to be taking a certain glee in his pronouncements about this war with Iran.

He reminds me of General Buck Turgidson, played by George C. Scott in Stanley Kubrick's anti-war masterpiece, "Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

In this clip you can see General Turgidson's glee as he explains the number of casualties to expect. Hegseth's excitement is no different. - Dr. Michael Wayne

In my 21 1/2 years of military service I don’t recall ever running into anything like this. This is fucked up beyond all recognition.
#FUBAR

“A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was ‘anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,’ according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.” - Jonathan Larsen

Asked how long he expected the U.S. to wage war against Iran, Trump said, “However long it takes for people to stop asking if I raped that 13-year-old.” - Andy Borowitz

Well, the FOTUS wasn’t needing to distract from the Epstein files then as much as he does now!

I usually sit in the La Z Boy when I put my shoes on in the morning but it seems someone else had other ideas.
