last year after a rainstorm, i found teeny tiny mushrooms in a tree at work & now every time i pass the same tree & i look for more mushrooms & everyone laughs at me, but when the mushroom queen chooses me to wed, will my coworkers be laughing then??

ive never seen anything like it. so bizarre
The lower Great Lakes region has super bad air quality today, and one of the big causes is, surprisingly, melting snow.
The warm snap is melting the snow banks, releasing all the car exhaust & toxins & rotting debris in the snow. Which,coupled with lack of wind and rain, sits in the air as smog

"Oh Cole? Yeah, Cole's cool but they are convinced that there's a parallel universe where the Muppet Show is still running, but SNL went off the air in 1981. Swears there was a shift between seasons four & five and Gonzo's commentary on Reagan got Carter elected again."

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

I did a close reading of the MLB rulebook and my conclusion is that while the manager must be a human being, the players can be of any species. There's zero chance you could get a dog on a roster under the current CBA but if you did, he could play

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.
