What.
WP Exclusive. U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses at hate symbols. The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items "potentially divisive."

A screenshot from AZ Quotes that says, “You may also like,” followed by Adolf Eichmann, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Karl Jasper, and Immanuel Kant.

Several people holding signs that say: The only USA king (over a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr.) Not voting is the #1 cause of unwanted presidencies (over a cartoon of crying Trump). Fight oligarchy (over a solidarity fist).

Hi Bluesky! Here’s a thread of photos I took at the No Kings protest in Knoxville, TN today. Turnout of 7500.
Some of the 7500 protesters in Knoxville, TN, at a major intersection. The sky is cloudy. And there are cars driving by. Some of the 7500 protesters in Knoxville, TN, at a major intersection. The sky is cloudy. And there are cars driving by.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Quote this skeet with your dream house.
A quaint stone cottage with light blue-green trim, a stone tiled roof, and pink climbing roses across the front. There are additional flowers in the front yard in red, orange, purple, and white.

It’s awful. I keep gawking at this pic of I-40 near the TN/NC just disappeared by flooding.
I-40 in Tennessee near the North Carolina border. Flooding from Helene has washed out a whole section of the interstate. It’s just gone and flood waters are raging in the background.

Do you like cats? Tupac? Old homes built into Byzantine walls? I got you covered.
A tan limestone house with light blue trim in Chania, Greece. There is a graffito sprayed on the wall that says "2Pac" and a white cat with black ears lounging on the doorstep.

Despite being told not to, my 7 y.o. often puts stickers around the house. Found this combo yesterday and am keeping them up.
Two stickers on a paneled wall: one has two brides of different skin tones kissing and the other is the shape of the state of Tennessee with the word "I voted."
