Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price.

Nabisco shrunk the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%.

General Mills shrunk the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%.

Frito-Lay shrunk the size of a bag of Doritos by 5%.

Shrinkflation is everywhere.

Okay I genuinely have not laughed this hard in probably WEEKS but we know that a) my super cute new bird feeder is not REMOTELY squirrel proof and b) squirrels are not REMOTELY afraid of the cat

My sides actually hurt

Hey #louisville! Anyone know these dogs?? Found them running around the Highlands between Barret and Baxter. Collars but no tags. I’ll take them tomorrow to see if they’re chipped but in the meantime if you could help me out that would be great!

Why Daylight Saving Time Messes With Your Brain
To "spring forward" is more damaging to our health than to "fall back," according to some surprising science.

We should stop messing with our internal clocks.

Most Americans on Sunday will “spring forward,” the annual ritual of advancing our clocks by an hour in a bid to capture more sunlight.

But most Mexicans won’t adjust their clocks this spring after their country ended daylight saving time. wapo.st/48M2Hvl

There are so many examples of Trump mispronouncing words, slurring his speech, etc. And he’s not someone who has an actual speech problem that they’ve largely overcome. Yet the media doesn’t say a damn thing about it.

A long shot but wtf.

When I was photographing birds on the empty beach south of Barcelona's airport, this magnificent gentleman waved to me, pointed to himself, and immediately struck a pose. I fired off this frame, we shared a laugh from 50m, and went on our ways.

I'd love to get it to him.

Not seen by researchers for two decades, a population of the stunning bird was found living on the side of a remote mountain in the Democratic Republic of Congo! 🎉🦉🧪

I have a thick memory of sitting on a plane while Christine Blasey Ford testified. It was on every in-flight screen. 40% of the plane was sobbing. A woman reached over while I cried and held my hand. It was a national trauma to watch a woman testify and know it would make no difference.

Forests are recovering! "We should celebrate our success in slowing a pattern of human deforestation that’s been going on for nearly 100,000 years. Nothing about the damage we do to our planet is inevitable. With effort, it may even be reversible." #ShareGoodNewsToo www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
The World’s Forests Are Doing Much Better Than We Think
It’s a sign that not every indicator is pointing toward doom — though there is no room for complacency.
