Now I want to be a penguin
🐧🧊 Incredible underwater footage of penguin life, shot from the first person of one of them.
🇺🇦 This beauty was captured thanks to Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Station in Antarctica, who put a GPS tracker and a tiny camera on the bird.

If you want our politics to change, it is IMPERATIVE that you become a different kind of voter:
1) become an OBSESSIVE primary, local & off-cycle voter
2) research every candidate and don’t rely on what commercials tell you about them
3) show up at events where candidates speak & debate

This is called “confabulation.” His broken brain is convinced that everything he is saying is true. (It’s not the same as lying, which he also does on a regular basis.)
What a horrific situation the US is in with this damaged person as its ruler.

Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
