On Friday, our Sky Vets Initiative helped this bull elephant, who'd been seen limping. Turns out he had a 4" hole in his foot! KWS vet Dr. Mijele suspects it was caused by a sharp piece of tree stump. Wound cleaned & treated, medications administered, he was off on his way 🩹🐘

My birthday fell Saturday after Thanksgiving. Spent the day on the Susquehanna River, below the Conowingo Dam, watching bald eagles and blue herons, shooting the breeze with Bob Gilley, who shot this amazing pic and others in the story. Pretty nice b'day 🦅https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/travel/conowingo-dam-bald-eagle-birdwatching/

When you see someone like Elon Musk embracing the far right, it's not because the far right has any kind of coherent political or intellectual worldview he agrees with. It's because the far right is the last bastion of shitty people - they will accept anyone regardless of their personal behavior.
The far right have no standards for behavior, identity or beliefs - you only need to share the raw desire to dominate others. The far right welcomes all manner of abusers, thieves, grifters, and scoundrels.
Logically therefore if you're an abuser, thief, grifter or a scoundrel you will eventually find that the only friends you have left are far right extremists.
I miss the early days of the Computer History Museum when they just had this massive room full of everything and you could wander it going "ooh, I used one of those!"
This is how I learned my mom was one of two business programming students in the entire class in Alabama in the early 60s, when she went "ooh, I used one of those" on a thing that was all pegboards and wires - the other woman got the only job in the state!

WATCH: Elise #Stefanik knew #GeorgeSantos was a fraud yet she enthusiastically endorsed him for Congress.
The House #Republican leadership is complicit in the fraud Santos perpetrated against the public.
BOOST this post if you agree Elisa Stefanik can't remain silent and MUST disavow George Santos.

"Social Security denies disability benefits based on list with jobs from 1977. Despite spending at least $250 million to modernize its vocational system, the agency still relies on 45-year-old job titles to deny thousands of claims a year." (No paywall) https://wapo.st/3YQPIF6
Folks who are surprised at the naked hypocrisy of white Christian support for cruelty to immigrants might be interested to read up on the defense of slavery in America, especially in the decades immediately prior to the Civil War. There is no end to the evil that evangelicals can justify to themselves when they believe it will bring them political power.
