Stormy is a female great white shark, who was first identified at Isla de Guadalupe in 2016.

In my encounters with her she was very curious, which made for quite a few photo opportunities.

@visegrad24 They had already moved most of the horses, but the flames were nearing at a very quick pace, therefore they released the last ones. Most were retrieved that same evening with the help of the community and taken to a safe place.

🇫🇷 An equestrian center in Biscarrosse, southwestern France, released its horses as wildfire approached

Staff gave the animals a chance to survive and opened the gates because smoke, heat, and the speed of the flames made trailer evacuation impossible.

Does anyone actually like PEAS and CARROTS?

@_we_love_food I Do!

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

It's amazing how effortlessly the dolphin does all that and keeps ahead of the ship, while having fun at the same time. They know how to live 😊

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

Release the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti.

You know how many Americans have told me they won't move to Canada because it's so cold up here.

10/10 times, I would choose our ice over your ICE.

@Smil3yAngel My grandparents had a hunting camp in Shinning Tree. Spent six months a year there, every year. They loved it, I grew up thinking I was half Canadian. I love and adore Canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@TylerSebreezy What's that car doing out there? It's a level 3, emergency vehicles only.

@Number10cat Everything uttered from that man's mouth is a lie or only about himself.

This is Alan Page protesting in Minneapolis today. Alan was a Minnesota Viking, is in the NFL Hall of Fame and is a retired Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. RESPECT!

The world has lost a mind whose work guides us every day.

Gladys West, a pioneering mathematician whose contributions helped make modern GPS possible, has passed away at 95, peacefully on January 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

West’s mathematical models of the Earth’s shape became a critical foundation for satellite navigation, allowing precise positioning anywhere on the globe. Her work helps guide everything from airplanes and ships to smartphones and emergency services, though she once joked that she still preferred using paper maps.

Born in 1930 in rural Virginia, West grew up in the South, working on her family’s farm and walking miles to a one-room schoolhouse. She originally planned to study home economics, but discovered a love for geometry that led her to pursue mathematics. A scholarship took her to Virginia State College, where she earned her degree and later a master’s in mathematics.

In 1956, she joined a U.S. Navy research facility in Dahlgren, Virginia. Over a 42-year career, West worked with early computers to develop algorithms that accounted for the Earth’s irregular shape, gravity, and tidal forces, refinements that were essential for accurate satellite positioning.

Without the mathematical groundwork she helped establish, the global navigation systems used today would not function as they do.

For most of her career, West’s contributions remained largely unknown outside scientific circles. Later in life, she received major honors, including induction into the U.S. Air Force Hall of Fame and the Prince Philip Medal.

She inspired generations of scientists and mathematicians.
