So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

I've been in these churches, and this is right-on.
In many Baptist churches, the elder board is meant to hold the pastor accountable.

But over time, they often become mere yes-men, rubber stamping all the Pastor’s decisions, leaving all authority in the hands of one man.

Baptists have now exported this model to the United States government.

The scope and scale of the wanton destruction across Gaza - buildings, trees, fields, hospitals, schools, universities, churches, mosques, streets, homes, *people* - is staggering. All of it with the support and funding of American administrations of both parties. Shameful.
This photo of Gaza City had to be illicitly taken during a Jordanian food drop because Israel has threatened to cancel drops of any photos are taken.

It is worth noting that the French monarchy wasn't stupid enough to build Versailles *during* the Revolution.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the construction of a massive $200 million, 90,000-square-foot Ballroom at the White House.

Is this what you voted for, MAGA?

Translation: Targetting actual foreign criminals is hard work, so Trump's troops have detainee working immigrants. They do tough, low paid jobs that US citizens refuse. Rich people soon notice when these roles aren't being done and the very richest of them have text Trump to say they're angry.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu (and an Episcopal priest herself) fully addresses the lie at the heart of the claim of that white South Africans are “refugees.” Amplify her voice.

Opinion | I knew the pain of apartheid. How dare Trump embrace Afrikaners as refugees.
If the Episcopal Church had agreed to resettle South African Boers, then it would have elevated a lie that will affect refugee resettlement for years to come.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

It's like living with a violent abuser.

Every day, you're just waiting for it. What's going to set him off? Who's he going to lash out at? What abuse is he going to scream at us today? What's he going to break, because every day he breaks something else.

I don't even have to say his name.

It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women
