America set to lose our greatest intellectual minds because of the lowest minds in the Trump Administration. Repelling intelligence will not make America great or competitive in the global marketplace or world economy.

Putin suggested holding direct negotiations in Turkey on May 15.

President Zelenskyy with his team arrived in Turkey.

Putin is absent. Instead, he sent a non-representative delegation with no decision-making mandate.

Does Putin want to achieve peace and stop the war? The answer is obvious - no

Faces are hard enough to draw on their own, but stylizing them presents a bunch of new challenges. How much detail is too much? How can you get the features ‘right’ even though they’re not realistic? Here are some of my thoughts on the topic ✨

The work to save the Osprey, which was endangered in New Jersey and other places has been wonderfully successful. In fact, New Jersey is home to a lot of excellent conservation work, like with Horseshoe Crabs, Diamondback Terrapins, shorebirds and more.

In defense of wild horses

The biggest threats to this beautiful species are climate change and deforestation of their habitat. The preservation of this species depends on protecting the forests in the countries where they live.

Who can tell me why a pronghorn can cross-fire and not hurt themselves but a horse can't.
Bonus points if you can tell me what the pronghorn's closest living relative is.
