Spanning 90 meters (or about 295 feet), the painting of the rainbow road was completed just in time for Sydney’s annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebration.
Take a look at the rainbow path in this tweet from the City of Sydney .
The placement of the rainbow path is meaningful. It’s located at the site inside of Sydney’s Prince Albert Park where same-sex marriage supporters gathered together on Nov. 15, 2017, to hear the results of Australia’s marriage equality postal survey.
The monkey, scientifically named Alouatta donaldea trumpis, is blonde-haired and spends most of its time in the Amazon canopy foraging for flowers, fruits, and nuts. The monkey has a complex social structure, with trumpis monkeys living in groups of six to fifteen.
There is never not a good time to be cheered by baboons that look like Donald Trump IMO. pic.twitter.com/UUr7UZ8vRm

The most startling similarity to President Trump, however, is the trumpis monkey’s reproductive behavior. Following copulation the female trumpis monkey will pee on its male mate.
The 45-year-old golf legend was driving shortly after 7 a.m. PT Tuesday in Rancho Palos Verdes when his SUV crossed a median and veered across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree and landing on its side in the brush, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
Woods remained conscious and calm but sustained serious leg injuries.
He underwent a lengthy emergency surgery on his lower right leg and ankle at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, the statement said. The leg fractures were "comminuted," meaning the bone was broken into more than two parts, and "open," meaning the broken bone was exposed to open air, creating risk of an infection, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anish Mahajan said in the statement.

Shanghai, China, February 22, 2021] Huawei's Executive Director and Carrier Business Group President Ryan Ding gave a keynote speech at the company's "5G Brings New Value" forum held at the MWC Shanghai 2021, where he announced the official launch of Huawei's new 5GtoB solution. During his speech, Ding talked about the developments, commercial returns, and opportunities for industry digitalization that 5G would bring.
The 5G industry has been developing faster than expected, with operators already seeing commercial returns from the first wave of 5G rollouts. The 5G user base and the number of 5G devices in commercial use have exploded since 2019. By the end of 2020, 380 5G devices had hit the market, 8 times more than there were the year before. The mobile 5G user base had also reached 220 million and wireless home broadband connections reached 1.05 million, a 17 and 21 times YoY increase, respectively. Ding claims these numbers will triple in 2021.
The survey by Gallup marks more than a 1 percentage point jump from the last poll in 2017 in which 4.5% of adults identified as LGBTQ.
The estimated 18 million adults who identify as LGBTQ represent a continued upward trajectory since Gallup started tracking identification in 2012, Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones said.
Is it that LGBT people are overrepresented in these polls becasue they seek them out? Is it that many identify as say, a Kinsey 1-2 so don't consider it worth mentioning outside of polls? What possibly causes this discrepancy that apparently our entire generation is bi?

“It reflects what we are seeing in society and the way society is changing,” he said.
One of the biggest headlines in the 2020 poll is the emergence of Generation Z adults, those 18 to 23: 1 in 6, or 15.9%, identify as LGBTQ. In each older generation, LGBTQ identification is lower, including 2% or less of respondents born before 1965.
For the first time, Gallup queried respondents on their precise sexual orientation, rather than a simple yes or no on whether someone identified as LGBTQ, allowing more insight into identity, Jones said.
Among LGBTQ adults, a majority or 54.6% identify as bisexual, the poll shows. About a quarter, or 24.5%, identify as gay; 11.7% as lesbian; 11.3% as transgender.
The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion survey of 953 adults between February 15 and 17 saw Mr Cuomo’s approval rating dip below 50 per cent.
Forty-nine per cent said they approved of the job he was doing while 44 per cent disapproved.
That’s down from the 66 per cent approval rating the third-term Governor reached in July last year, while the number who approve of his handling of the pandemic has also plunged from 72 per cent in July to 54 per cent.
“Cuomo’s approval rating, which was sky high in the summer, has returned to its pre-pandemic level,” Marist Poll director Dr Lee M. Miringoff told The Wall Street Journal.
“Should Cuomo decide to seek a fourth term, these results suggest it will be a challenge. That said, his current numbers are comparable to what they were when he faced the voters last time.”
After being feted by the media throughout much of last year – where his daily, Emmy Award-winning press briefings boosted his popularity and even led to calls for him to run against President Donald Trump – the shine has well and truly come off the 63-year-old’s political star after a series of explosive revelations in recent weeks.
The ban – made last week in response to a proposed new Media Bargaining law – meant Australian users could no longer view or share local articles, while international Facebook users were also restricted from seeing Australian news.
Lifting the ban means local news publications and sites – including news.com.au – will be back on Facebook, with content once again allowed to be shared in coming days.
“Australian news will be restored to the Facebook platform, and Facebook has committed to entering into good faith negotiations with Australian news media businesses and seeking to reach agreements to pay for content,” Treasurer Josh Frydenberg told reporters.
Mr Frydenberg thanked Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg “for the constructive nature of the discussions we have had over the course of recent days”.
“It has been a difficult process, but these are really important issues. These are important issues because the purpose of the code and the purpose of the Morrison Government’s intentions have been designed to sustain public interest journalism in this country,” he said.
“That is why we have sought to put this code in place, that is why the now-Prime Minister, then the Treasurer, commissioned the ACCC to undertake this groundbreaking review a number of years ago.”
