I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!
Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Why fish don’t fall asleep 🤓
Like most animals, fish move less at night. Underwater, stable posture requires movement. Find out how fish don't fall down at night in: Lighting and circadian cues shape locomotor strategies for balance and navigation in larval zebrafish from @yunluzhu.bsky.social

Dear TV show/film editors, if I can’t read the crucial storyline revealing text message on screen without pausing and squinting like a Victorian detective through a magnifying glass, it’s too small. Signed, a frustrated 48-year-old with perfectly respectable glasses. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

Contrary to my clear instructions, I’d prefer you leave me asleep when you go-go.
Despite stating that I would do anything for love with one important exception, I find ultimately that I would, indeed, do that.
Contrary to all my intentions, I will let the sun go down on me. Tomorrow, most probably.
