A screenshot from the Wikipedia page for JFK's New Frontiers program: "...retirement was introduced, enabling workers to retire at the age of sixty-two while receiving partial benefits.[34]""The Social Security Amendments of 1961 permitted male workers to elect early retirement age 62, increased minimum benefits, liberalized the benefit payments to aged widow, widower, or surviving dependent parent, and also liberalized eligibility requirements and the retirement test.[35]""The 1962 amendments to the Social Security Act authorized the federal government to reimburse states for the provision of social services.[36]""The School Lunch Act was amended for authority to begin providing free meals in poverty-stricken areas.[4]""A pilot food stamp program was launched (1961), covering six areas in the United States. In 1962, the program was extended to eighteen areas, feeding 240,000 people.[37]""Various school lunch and school milk programs were extended, "enabling 700,000 more children to enjoy a hot school lunch and eighty-five thousand more schools,"

Infographic detailing the soy sauce production process. A flow chart lists six chronological steps: cooking and crushing soybeans and wheat; inoculating with Koji fungus; adding to a high-salinity brine; fermenting for six months or more; pressing to extract raw soy sauce; and pasteurizing and bottling. An accompanying National Geographic video still shows a worker in traditional attire managing a large vat of dark, fermenting mash inside a rustic brewery.

An old animal skull, likely dog, with damage to occipital bones on both sides, and damage to the nasal cavity and very front of the jaw. The two canines look to have been growing out/not protruding from the jaw yet.
The image depicts a pile of blackberry roots and branches on the ground, recently pulled up and pruned, amidst grass and some smaller green plants. A person's foot, wearing a dark shoe and blue jeans, is visible in the foreground to give an idea of scale. The biggest root system is about 5 times the size of the foot.

Screenshot of middle of Seattle Times article about drivers crashing their cars into houses along the far south stretch of Rainier Ave. “Over the past few years, we’ve been working to enhance traffic safety in Rainier Beach and nearby neighborhoods,” according to an SDOT statement provided by Mariam Ali, an agency spokesperson. “We’ve also taken extra steps to connect directly with the community. Our team has gone door-to-door to talk with neighbors, gathering feedback on their needs and concerns.” Kat Sims, left, retrieves a part from a car that crashed into Madelyn Jung’s home on Rainier Avenue South last week. The driver also damaged the retaining wall. (Ellen M. Banner / The Seattle Times) In response to about 100 residents, SDOT has cleared overgrown vegetation, removed debris and replaced damaged guardrails. The department installed an enhanced crosswalk — with a flashing yellow beacon that lights up with the push of a button — and plans to install three more this year, along with newly painted lanes, better bikeways and plastic posts along the median to discourage center lane passing.
Screenshot of the George Zimmerman wiki entry with the text: Paintings In December 2013, Zimmerman began selling paintings he had made. His first painting, of an American flag, sold for $100,099.99 on eBay in late December.[60] On the auction page for the painting, Zimmerman wrote: Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative way to express myself, my emotions, and the symbols that represent my experiences. My art work allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet, and allows me to remain indoors :-) I hope you enjoy owning...

A printed piece of 8.5"x11" paper stapled to a bulletin board in Oddfellows Hall with a picture of several squirrels peeking out of a hole in a tree, a picture of an acorn, and the text: LOCAL SQUIRRELS BULLYING MY CHILD On 02/10/2025, my toddler Maddysyn and I were having a peaceful picnic when this group of HOOLIGAN squirrels approached. They took turns chittering at us and throwing acorns with rude messages at our heads. Maddisyn and I left from this experience deeply traumatized. They left this acorn with this RUDE message. I contacted the police (911) about this incident but they laughed at me and hung up. LOCAL MOTHERS BEWARE OF THESE EVIL TREE RATS 100 I saw this one publicly consuming. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF SPOTTED squirrelwatchingseattle@gmail.com IG: squirrelwatchingseattle GARGILES STATUARY Please take a picture of a squirrel and BAN them from our parks if you see them. Or show the park manager and explain my plight.
Shit I forgot to copy paste the text before I screenshotted and deleted it. It's a fundraising text from Mary Trump where most of what should be original text is simply long strings of question marks. There are only about 3 actual sentences. It starts off "Hey it's Dr. Mary Trump, niece of the convicted felon and President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. I'll be honest with you, team: ??????????? ???????????????????? ??????????? ??????" There's a bad picture of who I assume is Mary Trump at the top.
