[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“Every American knew, or should have known. The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying, and that will only make his turpitude worse. He represents everything we should aspire not to be, and everything we should teach our children not to emulate. The only hope is that he’s utterly incompetent, and even that is a double-edged sword, because his incompetence often can do as much as harm as his malevolence. His government will be filled with corrupt grifters, spiteful maniacs, and morally bankrupt sycophants, who will follow in his example and carry his directives out, because that’s who they are and want to be.”

The 2018 John Mulaney “Horse In A Hospital” bit is still so great 😂 Best part is he doesn’t mention the name Trump at all. Oh America, you finally removed the horse from the hospital. DO NOT let it back in 😬

The fact that billionaires don't want Kamala Harris to win is exactly why she should.

A reminder:

It was Jared Kushner and the Trump administration who gave @washingtonpost writer Jamal Khashoggi to the Saudis, dismembered with a bone saw and liquefied in sulfuric acid.

But in a contest between Harris and Trump, Jeff Bezos can't make an endorsement.

THIS is what the election should look like. The fact that it's any closer than this is a total fucking embarrassment for the entire country.

Hieroglyphic Lioconcha, a fascinating species of saltwater clam, is a true enigma of the ocean.

This clam, native to the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, is distinguished by its intricate patterns on the shell that resemble ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

These natural designs, which can vary from clam to clam, have captivated scientists and collectors alike, making Lioconcha hieroglyphica into a biological and aesthetically intriguing gem. Patterns not only embellish the shell, but they can also offer clues about its habitat and adaptation to the marine environment.

Studying this species allows us to better understand how shapes and patterns evolve in nature, providing a wonderful connection between art and biology. The hieroglyphic Lioconcha is a reminder of the astonishing wonders that lie beneath the sea’s surface.

How dramatic is this? I've cleaned-up this astounding glass plate photograph, which looks like a painting, taken in the Domaine De Pixérécourt in Malzéville, France, about 116 years ago. It's by one of my personal favourite proponents of the autochrome art, Julien Gérardin. This photo was taken in colour and isn't colourised.

In paintings, pearls have done more than just shine—they've symbolized everything from wealth and luxury to purity and power. 🦪 Whether flaunted by queens or subtly adorning ladies of virtue, these gems tell stories of status, femininity, and even a little vanity. 👑✨
