And this is how white pelicans enter the scene. Casually sliding into homebase after hitting it out of the park when the bases were loaded. I don’t know, but I think this pelican loves to surf.

The gift you have for capturing & sharing all these images of the bird life on our planet is truly next level 🙏

Hey @marktakesphoto , do you have any videos detailing birds folding they wings from flight to stowed? It's a mechanic that's always fascinated me, but is never really the main focus of a video.

The conditions were literally picture perfect. Our plan was to meet the sunrise and hopefully a few of the world’s largest pelicans bathed in the glorious early morning light. As our precious and precise plan played out right before my eyes, I readied my camera. The soft pink cotton candy like plumage of a beautiful Great White Pelican immediately grabbed my attention. As it approached, I noticed its delicate reflection on the glassy surface. Time slowed. I realized I was holding my breath and that’s the exact moment a Dalmatian Pelican poked its massive head into the frame and stole the golden hour spotlight for a few seconds before casually sliding out of the shot. This pelican pulled off the perfect photobomb. And yet I still managed to capture the other pelican’s picture perfect landing as it lowered its feet and skied in. Magic.

The unvaccinated are frequently asked, “How did you know the COVID vaccines were dangerous when they first came out?” The answer is simple: we didn’t. However, we quickly figured out that the people pushing the shots were LIARS. Watch Tucker Carlson explain this brilliantly. “The behavior of the people selling me that [vaccine] was so transparently dishonest. I didn’t know that the vax wouldn’t work, which it didn’t, of course. I didn’t know that it would cause harm, which it did. But I did know that the people selling it were liars. Like, I knew that instantly. And I know some of them, but I could just tell by their behavior [that] they’re lying. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know what this is. No one in my family is getting this ... period.’ Like I figured that out the first day ... I felt [something was wrong] so strongly, and I just obeyed [my instincts]. And I think that works.”

This scene of the Marines about to head out to Peleliu is enough to make anyone anxious. I don’t know how Sledge & the Old Breed did it, 81 years ago today, but they did. 🇺🇸

The way I GASPED when I first saw this scene as a kid💀 After quitting watching the series back then, the scenes I had remembered of BTVS till I rewatched were this, hot guy (Spike), and the first sex of Buffy/Riley (I don't know why but I think because Buffy's outfit was hot)😂

Anthony Edwards on Wolves fans “I don’t know. I don’t got social media so I just come and work out and go home, play the games, so I don’t really see to much… but when I’m playing I feel it for sure, but outside of playing in the game and driving away I don’t really see to much” It is wild how locked in he is, and how much Bird/Jordan/Kobe/KD vibes this gives me. #Wolvesback

Senator Fetterman admitted he never really understood President Trump’s push for the White House ballroom — until after last night. FETTERMAN: “I never really had a strong opinion on the ballroom, to be honest.” “But but this clearly demonstrated, you know, how difficult it is to move around there.” “And you know that the the ballroom is, is effectively underground and it has very limited, very limited kinds of ingress and egress to get out.” “So I think from an evacuation and when you have to evacuate, whether the president or other parts of of the leadership, I mean, this is just not the right place for that.”

I think this scene is another excellent example of this, but I don’t think I’ve seen anybody point out that CGI backgrounds are finally back in the show WOOOOO!!!

At first I thought, “Nah, this video is definitely sped up.” Then I noticed his teammates casually strolling in the background.. That’s when I went, “What the hell? 😳” I have to admit, I don’t think the football world truly appreciated how ridiculous Messi was. Not because people didn’t rate him but because I don’t think anyone fully grasped what they were watching.

There’s that famous line the ‘I don’t know how to define pornography but I know it when I see it’. Well. This should come with an age warning. Filth

This man was parking in a parking garageand hit the shark fin antenna on a beam in the parking garage. He thought he had clearance because the clearance was posted, as he got further in he noticed the clearance gradually got shorter and shorter until he hit. This is exactly why I’m not a huge fan of parking in a garage like this, I can gauge how tall my car is but I don’t know exactly how tall it is. When I am trying to park I am busy looking for a spot, I’m not paying attention to the ceiling. I’m no lawyer but I would go after the hotel for this, by the damage to the beams, this has clearly happened before. Most of my life I’ve driven cars mainly low to the ground, and I never park in these places due to fear of vandalism. For me, a parking garage like this would be a huge reason as so why I wouldn’t park in there nor do I ever use valet. Besides scoping out the area beforehand I don’t know what the solution to this would be besides just park in an open air lot.
