A tourist from Singapore fell to her death Friday while snapping photos with her husband on the edge of a cliff in a New York state park, authorities said.

Apple announced it will permanently do away with the My Photo Stream album next month. The feature automatically stores pictures taken in the last 30 days. Due to the impending shutdown, My Photo Stream stopped uploading snaps on June 26 — and everything in the album will be deleted when the service ceases July 26. However, any pics that were uploaded to My Photo Stream before June 26 will remain in iCloud for 30 days from the date of upload and will be available on devices where My Photo Stream is enabled. To ensure you do not lose any pictures,...

President Joe Biden appeared meandering and confused during a White House event on Monday celebrating the Atlanta Braves and their World Series victory in 2021. After the president finished speaking, the team presented him with a team jersey with his name on it. “Well folks, guess we’re going to do something now, that is uh … a reception,” he said to the team, who remained in position for the photo. When the group reminded him that they had to take a few pictures first, Biden agreed but held his jersey folded up at his waist as the cameras clicked. The...

Hillary Clinton, 74, said that she started wearing her infamous pantsuits in the 1990s after a Brazilian company used the image of her in a skirt for a suggestive lingerie advertisement. 'I was sitting on a couch and the press was let in, there were a bunch of them shooting up,' Clinton recounted on Sunday to CBS News host Norah O'Donnell when describing the moment the image was captured when she was still first lady. 'All of a sudden, the White House gets alerted to these billboards that show me sitting down with — I thought my legs [were] together,...

According to a Norwegian International Affairs researcher, the images people in Russia are being shown by the official media are far from the brutal reality of the Ukraine war. Russian president Vladimir Putin is reportedly painting a completely different picture of his ongoing invasion of neighbouring Ukraine. For people only consuming Russian media, it comes across as there being an ongoing "special military operation" in Ukraine, which has the aim of protecting the people of East Ukraine against the so-called nationalistic government in Kyiv. Russian state television aired a short statement by Putin last week, where he described Ukrainian president...

I don't really have anything to say other than ... When is enough enough!? Just thought everyone should have a chance to see this!

Where are the photos of Biden in the Oval Office? There are thousands of photos of President Trump in the Oval Office meeting with foreign heads of state, cabinet members, Congressmen and Senators, taking questions from reporters, celebrities, etc. However, if you do a search for "Biden Oval Office" you get the same photos of the Oval Office devoid of people. No foreign heads of state, no cabinet members, no meetings with Congressmen and Senators, no taking questions from reporters, no celebrities, etc. Many of the photos are from the same photo shoot but from different perspectives and there haven't...

TALLAHASSEE, FL—In response to being caught deceptively editing a statement by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who later called them "lairs" for pushing a "fake narrative," CBS hit back today with another bombshell. Several photos, described by CBS as "totally real and authentic," appear to show DeSantis clubbing baby seals with his best friend Adolf Hitler. "We are shocked and saddened by this terrible reveal of Desantis's past," said correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. "It would appear from these completely undoctored photographs, that Ron DeSantis is both a fan of clubbing baby seals and a Nazi. Please know that I am just as...

Crowd building at Washington Monument on 6 January, 2020 A thread for images of DC under military lockdown, and DC with the throngs of Trump supporters on 6 January. What I am hearing about the military lockdown in DC is profoundly disturbing. It is without precedent, and appears to be a show of force more than anything else. It shows how deeply the deep state distrusts the American people. President Trump's call to the Capitol on 6 January, is exactly the opposite. It was based on an inherent trust of the American People. Let us build a montage of pictures...

I'm looking for a couple of pictures that have been on FR in the last week or so. One is a picture of the fat guy wearing a tan shirt standing next to the guy with the horns and fur. He had a hammer and sickle tat on his hand. The picture I want is the one that is in dark clothes, but it's labeled "phillyantifa". I've looked everywhere even in my history and can't find it. I should have downloaded it when I saw it, but you guy usually produce in 10 minutes so I'll give ya'll a try....

Goulash, American chop suey, slumgullion — whatever you call it, this meaty, comforting dish is just the thing to warm up with on a cold winter night! But when one person on Twitter posted a picture of the dish she grew up calling slumgillion, also known as slumgullion, many users were divided over what exactly the right name is for this winter classic. "What do you call this?" posited @SandySue1958 on Sunday. "Growing up, my mother called it slumgillion." Slumgullion is known as a cheap stew made from leftovers, but not everyone was in agreement. In fact, the responses to...

So I was at my local grocery store. I saw a Mom and Son with full 'Chinese Flu' gear. My mental note said, 'Don't be like this'. So the was a picture taken. Public place - GA. I walked around and was soon confronted by the 20ish son. He demanded that I delete the picture. I told him 'NO' I pulled out my copy of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. I told him show me where it says that I cannot do this? He called the police and I walked by them and nothing was said to...

Freshman Rep. Katie Hill resigned Thursday in the wake of multiple controversies, including engaging in at least one sexual relationship with a campaign staff member. Conservative website Red State published intimate photos of the California Democrat on Oct. 18 after they were leaked to the site, sparking a debate about inappropriate relationships and “revenge porn.” Hill should not have engaged in a relationship with a subordinate while holding public office, and thus should shoulder the blame for that choice. Nonetheless, there’s little the public can do about her personal choices other than to call for her resignation. There may be...

There’s a meme that I think I used once here a long while ago, showing a bunch of candles, with the legend: “What did socialists use before candles? Electricity.” This came back to me flying into San Francisco last night from the north, and looking out the window at parts of the state that used to be civilized (i.e., lit with electricity). Welcome to Bolifornia—or is it Calivia? The fun part is all the smug Tesla drivers who can’t charge their cars. (My power has remained on, but I do live in a zone where it might get cut off....

Another collection of “Only in Russia” photos. Enjoy! New Russian fashion. This was a freshly laid just one year ago on the railway station. One year later this is a result. Just a kids playground in Yakutsk, Russia this April. When just Adidas is not enough. Find a cat. “She was flirting with my man” “Happy Victory Day”, Russia is strongly against gays (supposedly) Going to school in Russia. Putting vodka in plastic water bottle and selling it for vodka price at night when it’s prohibited to sell alcohol. Slavic bride. Dirty car art is seem to be a...

Full title: "Women pose naked in 'Grab Them By The Ballot' photo shoot to encourage votes for Democrats" Excerpt: Ten women from Vermont participated in the “Grab Them By The Ballot” shoot titled after President Trump’s infamous “grab them by the p----” comment that resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election.<> All of the women – who came in all sizes, races, and sexualities – posed with nothing but a ballot placed on their private parts in an homage to the #MeToo movement.

Putin met the last four US presidents since he took office in the 1990s. The two leaders met again in June 2000 in Moscow after Putin became president of Russia and Clinton was in his final year in office. After Bush was sworn into office in January 2001, the two leaders met for the first time in June for a summit in Slovenia. Putin met with the recently sworn-in Obama for the first time in July 2009 in Moscow. Obama reportedly emerged from the meeting feeling confident and optimistic in resetting relations with Putin. "We think there's an excellent opportunity...
