Honestly it feels like a systematic attempt to undermine hurricane preparedness: they have cut funding to some of the backend infrastructure that supports weather forecasting, are drastically understaffed at the NWS offices that interpret the data, and are rendering response (FEMA) largely inert.

Here’s the door of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, GA. Congratulations to Catholics on your new pope!
A dark wooden door in a pointed archway. The cathedral is white with brown accents. There is a large circular window above the door, and plenty of ornate neo-gothic features.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
