Today's news and jokes







Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

(Instead of repaving, the city has shifted most of its street maintenance budget to doing what it calls “large asphalt repair,” which is patching portions of the street only where it’s most worn down. Patching might sound OK, but it’s more expensive than full repaving, because the same trucks and equipment need to be mobilized for a smaller amount of work)

@weatherchannel A beach on Iran’s Hormuz Island is capturing attention across the world after heavy rain triggered a jaw-dropping natural wonder. The “blood rain” happens often enough that locals call this area “Red Beach.” #TheWeatherChannel #fyp #phenomenon #beach ♬ original sound - The Weather Channel
(Saw this a few days ago. Meanwhile, "Protesters took to the streets of the capital, Tehran, and other cities in Iran on Monday to decry surging inflation and the collapse of the national currency, which have thrown markets into chaos and punched holes in family budgets.")

@denverwestword When Winnie steps into the room where she will have her ultrasound, the first-time expectant mother doesn’t have any nerves — just a hankering for her favorite snack: a bright green avocado mashed to a perfect consistency and a cup of wriggling mealworms. 🥑 It might seem like a strange pregnancy craving, but Winnie is a tamandua (aka an anteater), after all. Winnie chows down, unconcernedly splattering avocado everywhere as veterinarian Kiran Fong and registered veterinary technician Danielle Coffman perform the ultrasound, capturing images and measurements of Winnie’s baby, which will be the first tamandua born at the @denverzoo ♬ Cute images of daily life, cooking, pets, etc.(1317611) - Nanapoconne
