Wait a minute, did it snow watermelon? No, that's snow algae. It's seen only at high altitudes in cold conditions, it's not safe to eat (unless you like diarrhea), and the various algae colors make the landscape very attractive...

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

This is the "SEA SHEEP" (Costasiella kuroshimae) & it took the old axiom: "you are what you eat" VERY literally.
It eats algae & rather than just digest them, it harvests the chloroplasts & becomes PHOTOSYNTHETIC. Solar slug!
Also, some of its cousins can rip their own heads off.

Neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post published stories about Trump writing 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day
You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun.
Almost.

Emotions are by nature unstable. Otherwise we couldn’t recognize any change.
Trying to stabilize emotions is suffering. Imagining to be responsible for them is suffering too.
But you are not that. You are the stability behind their movements. You are the riverbed in which they flow.

Are these the files you boxed up from the Biden era probe into Epstein co-conspirators and shipped off to DC after you killed the investigation and fired the prosecutors? You’ve had these since January. I call BS.

>100 organizations that support victims of human trafficking have lost funding, leaving 1000s of survivors at risk.
The DOJ’s failure to spend ~$90m appropriated by Congress is impeding investigations & exposing survivors to homelessness & risk of deportation, jail time or re-exploitation.
