More kingfishers! They are so cool. This is a Giant Kingfisher. The largest of the family. Taken while floating on the Zambezi river near Mosi-oa-Tunya (google it!!), so not the best shot....

WTF is wrong with so many humans these days? Oh...wait....
The male executive in charge of the Miss Universe event in Thailand berated Miss Mexico in front of all the contestants. Contestants stood after he ordered them to sit, some (including the current Miss Universe) walked out, and now he's fired.
Solidarity is beautiful!
