In the arts these days, they insist that context is everything. So what is one to make of this vile picture, of Hamas terrorists from the October 7 massacre proudly posing with their 'kill' on the bed of a pickup truck, the mangled, mutilated, body of a 22-year old woman, proudly preening and posing for their trusted photographer from the Associated Press? Shame on @RJI for awarding @AP 'Picture of the Year' award, of this image, which their Hamas-embedded photographer took of Shani Louk, as she was murdered, violated and thrown on back of pick-up truck! You must be so...

A photo posted on Instagram of a man holding a dolphin has caught the attention of investigators. The photo shows a man holding a baby dolphin out of the water in Nassau County, which is near Jacksonville. The dolphin is now believed to be dead. Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are now investigating the incident. Marine biologists say when you take a dolphin out of the water, they can be crushed by the weight of their own bodies. Researchers say you can tell by the dorsal fin. Now, they’re trying...

A man's five minutes of fame at a Florida golf course where he hit a hole-in-one and had his picture taken is what allegedly helped officers arrest and charge him in connection with a deadly assault that took place in the course's parking lot. The Sumter County Sheriff's arrested Robert Moore, 75, of the Villages, on July 27 and charged him with aggravated manslaughter on an elderly person in connection with the June 28 incident that took place at the Glenview Country Club, court documents say. Dean Zook, 87, allegedly was heading to the club that day with his wife...

Ukraine has released images purporting to show a car packed with explosives parked on the Kakhovka Dam before it was bombed, unleashing the river on settlements below, leading to serious flooding. The Kakhovka Dam was bombed earlier this month, causing the Soviet-era structure holding back the Dnipro/Dnieper, one of Europe’s major rivers to flood downstream. Given the colossal volume of water released fatalities have been mercifully comparatively limited, with the Ukrainian government speaking of 17 killed as a consequence of the attack, and a further 31 missing.

This Miami Florida woman learned why you should always read the fine print. And now she’ll always be connected to an Erotic Novel Titled ‘His Big Childhood Sweetheart’. Christian Demeritt of Miami shared her story on Tik Tok which all started when she graduated college back in 2010. Fresh off her theater degree, she needed some new headshots. So she met up with a recommended photographer at the park at Bayside. They took pictures in some different tops, she paid him $100 and everything seemed good. She was hoping to use the new pics to find work as an actress....

Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe briefly addressed the photo showing him violating the federal mask mandate while aboard Amtrak in July, claiming he is “very good” about wearing his mask but adding that everyone can “always do better.” Over the summer, a passenger caught McAuliffe, who is vying to be governor of the Old Dominion for the second time, aboard a train at New York City’s Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station on July 29 without a mask on. A sign in the background can be seen reading, “Face masks must fully cover the mouth and nose and secure under the...

I never get tired of this great picture of President Trump by Sabo (a politically conservative street artist active in Los Angeles, California.)

A wee dog in Toa Payoh has joined the pantheon of meme-worthy critters who’ve masked up during the pandemic, and in adorable fashion too. It was on April 29 that the canonical canine first appeared on Singapore’s radars through a rather superb picture taken by The Straits Times photographer Gavin Foo. In a worrying article about the vulnerability of senior citizens to coronavirus infection, an all-encompassing photo was used. It’s a picture taken at Toa Payoh Central that aptly captures the current situation of the heightened safety measures in Singapore. There’s a cordoned-off coffee shop. There’s a GrabFood delivery rider,...

Here, I'll go first...lolol:

I am more of a cat person than dog, but that doesn’t mean I hate dogs. I prefer cats over dogs, that’s all. However, I really dislike cat hating dog people, for some unknown reason, I’ve met too many dog people condemning cats out of the blue, such as they are useless and etc. I never understood the reason why they have the urge to bad mouth cats while I pet their dog. Over the years, I’ve realized that the saying, “You are what you eat.” is true. You are more likely to be a cat person if you prefer...

There are only a few sure things we can count on in this crazy, ever-changing world: The moon's regal orbit around the earth. The gentle change of the seasons. And the fact that, on any given subway car, there will be at least one man with his legs spread across multiple seats. A problem as frustrating as it is mysterious, the man who takes up multiple seats on public transit with his splayed-out legs inspires all sorts of questions among his fellow riders: Is the leg-spreader exercising his male privilege, or, as some defenders would have you believe, merely attending...

can someone tell me how to understand the codes that come with cell phone pictures. I always thought one set was date/time? Here is an example: 18056836_10154959675391858_2691316434841852196_n.jpg I thought that there was some sort of rhyme or reason to the numbers.

Alicia Blonde, a teacher at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, remembered school shooter Nikolas Cruz as someone who had a "pride issue" with his Hispanic background and "didn't feel comfortable in his own skin, in his culture." Blonde lamented that Cruz "didn't really like to speak Spanish too much."

No text, only photo and name.

Legendary golfer Arnold Palmer died on September 25, and President Barack Obama immediately rushed to social to remember Palmer … with pictures of himself. President Barack Obama has a habit of commemorating deaths of important figures and Americans by posting a picture of himself on Twitter. Here are five examples of the president doing just that.

Sharpest ever view of the Andromeda Galaxy This image, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy -- otherwise known as M31.This is a cropped version of the full image and has 1.5 billion pixels. You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image.It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy's pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.This image is too large to be easily...

A rapper who shared a photo of Malia Obama on social media joked in an interview that the White House might be tapping his phone. Joey Bada$$, who is a member of the Brooklyn-based group, discussed the photo on New York radio station Hot 97 in an interview posted Friday. "What's so special about this girl in this shirt?" the hip-hop artist said on the station's "Ebro in the Morning" show, recalling when he first saw the photo. "I didn't know who it was. The picture wasn't the clearest quality." The Pro Era member said as soon as he read...

Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett is out for the season with a knee injury, so perhaps it´s unsurprising that he´s spending a lot more of his time stirring up drama on Twitter. On Monday, the 33-year-old posted an unintentionally provocative picture of Malia Obama which he somehow eclipsed today by live-tweeting his experience serving jury duty. The picture of the 16-year-old first daughter has been making the rounds online, and is a screen grab of a televised event that focuses on her back side. An Instagram used with the username ´dreday_4´ reposted the image to his feed on Monday...
