Chongqing, China

Some people crush other people's heads. Other people use their forced-perspective hands more constructively.

Holy crap this woman runs her mouth, amirite

Baby and cat bond over a mutual love affair with napping.

In a historic first, dogs and mailmen end previous hostilities and agree to "a new spirit of amity and cooperation."

You (the dumb one): Giant moth larvae are so cute!

Me (the smart one): No they're not, they're weird and gross you dum-dum.

Light show at a Prague church.

A giant lantern in Sri Lanka. Standard Reference Humans have been inserted for scale at 0:30.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Rescuing an injured jaguar drowning in a lake.

Rescuing a baby elephant trapped in deep mud. I think at the end he is reunited with his mother, who has been tranquilized so she doesn't freak out and go Mrs. Dumbo on the rescuers.

Mini pony is stuck at the edge of a giant precipice.

If you act like your belong there and walk with purpose, you can get past any security.

Bringing food for a stray mama dog's puppies.

But is it art?

Owl couple care for their eggs.

A little forced perspective turns this into a real Movie Poster shot. Scan through all three photos to see how they posed this and what it turned into:

Damn!!🔥🔥

Not only was she *vile* and immoral, she's just *clueless* about so many things as well. The thing about her "damn emails" was not only recklessly illegal and worth 20+ years in a Federal prison...it was a *stupid* move on her part because it opened her (what she viewed, incorrectly, as) "private world" to any third-rate hack with computer skills. I guarantee the Chineese and the Russians laughed their asses off at some of the stuff they read from "her" email system, but it wouldn't shock me if some college kid with ambition wasn't reading them too!

..... what a jackass.

A) That isn't your goal at all, it's just box-wine slop to fuel the RAWFL stomps.
B) Do you even think that's *their* goal? They already have all the benefits of citizenship, with none of the drawbacks. All the rights, none of the responsibilities. Who in hell is here, in the flesh, illegally, who dearly wishes they could only give away half their paycheck before they even get it, and then give away the other half to pay for all the taxes on their house and their car and their dog and their own damn head, just to get told to fuck off when they go to the hospital with their "Actual" "Insurance" that covers literally nothing anymore?

53 "If you act like your belong there and walk with purpose, you can get past any security"

Penguins often use this technique. In some cases they can put on a very good show and infiltrate award ceremonies and other such black tie events, but the mephitic miasma surrounding the uninvited guests soon reveals their presence, and results in their subsequent ejection from the gathering before they can do too much damage to the punch.

Not sure what that was. A meteor will have a smoke trail and, yes, be faster than that. A flare won't make that big of a wave (too light by the time it returns to the surface). That looked more like a Roman Candle type firework that was shot off and ignited upon return.

So, I'm thinking some kind of firework, or someone's disposable drone that had pyrotechnics attached.

Of course no one *actually* wants to see an American city nuked, you useless dildos. We're laughing at the idea because those cities fucking suck and are full of dickheads like you, making life worse for everyone on Earth every single day.

But you assgoblins can't even fathom the concept of that kind of hyperbolic bitching, which means all the horrid rotten shit you *do* say every day all day is you truly and honestly wishing death and violence upon your imagined Enemies. Because you're a bunch of sick broken useless fucks.

We jeer at the idea of a city being nuked.

You cheer at the reality of a husband and father getting murdered in broad daylight. At women getting raped and abducted, babies being broken and murdered, for the crime of going to a music festival while being Of Tribe. At men getting railroaded for crimes they didn't commit because Vulva. At women going free after brutally murdering their own children because A Guy You Don't Like Is President For A Bit.

It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take, let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's, this is a very small price to pay, and it's gonna be over very soon. It's essentially almost over with. And they might keep going a little long, you know?

It's clearly mocking the idea. "Oh, sure, let them take out these major cities, so long as your precious fucking gas is fifty cents a gallon cheaper"

126 It doesn't make any sense to read into that statement that he thinks Iran nuking a US city is "a very small price to pay". How is that a price? What do we get in exchange? What would even be the argument he's making if that's what he meant by that?

It's a willfully malicious misreading of a plain, obvious statement.

Trump may not glide from sentence to sentence very smoothly compared to a typical greasy word-vomit politician, but there's no ambiguity to what he's saying unless you intentionally cut the words apart and sew them back together like some kind of verbal human centipede.

During Gulf War 1, I was returning to my post in Greece from a gulf country, and got diverted to Cairo. They were not expecting a diplomat, and apparently had a panic attack. They assigned me an armed guard who followed me everywhere, including the bathroom. I did not care for that, but since it was an automatic he was carrying, and I didn't know how trigger happy he was, I didn't make a fuss. They put me on the next plane to Greece, which was an east african carrier complete with goats, chickens and open bunsen burners. I haven't much cared for flying since then.

And I have never given a damn one way or the other.

Anyone who watches the video knows Trump was being sarcastic as he always does at his rallies. It's worked pretty damn well for him this far, he won the presidency 2, ok 3 times, while having the entire media against him and taking a bullet to the head.

He didn't say anything wrong. He was simply pointing out that people who have been saying he shouldn't have taken down the terrorists running Iran who have been threatening to take down The Great Satan for years were wrong because the mullahs meant what they said and that's why taking them down was necessary.

We do have an unfortunate habit of getting older. Alternative is a bit worse.

Young me had a crush on her.

Ran into her and James Taylor a couple of years ago. They had been in Asbury Park to see Nick Clemons, son of Clarence. Ran into them in a shop in my town. Carol is teeny tiny!

165 I find it deeply irritating when I'm window-shopping an online store, and it stops me to verify that I'm human. Can the server not tell from how slowly I'm going? *I* find *their* behavior suspect.

168 I'd have loved to have seen a Trump Senate campaign.

Just declare for the nomination, then coast.

I started out at 5'2" and refuse to change that on my license or anywhere else even though I'm very aware that my spine is collapsing on itself.

I don't think Ms. King is 5'1" anymore, maybe 4'10" or 11".

First concert I ever went to was James Taylor at Princeton University. Friends older sister let us tag along.

And now he has a home here. Small world. Wouldn't want to paint it.

Those few self flagellating countries are not all of Europe.
Italy just signed and agreement with Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Spain [I know], Greece, Latvia, Malta, Portugal and Slovakia.

Not that this is perfect Europe but it is a move on the board
away from the autocracy of Brussels. And a more subtle move
for Italian dominance.

I had a crush on him. Robert Redford too.

Whew! Glad I dodged those bullets.

(Because you know if either one of them ever met me they would have fallen head over heels in love with me immediately.)

It's a good move, but I worry that it's too little, too late. There are already 1.6 million muslims in Italy now. That's a lot for a small country. And it won't be easy getting them to leave, or even assimilate.
