Saudi Arabia

The International Space Station (ISS) has provided some incredible visuals as it travels around the Earth. Astronaut Christina Koch took the photos and film while aboard the ISS, and the composite is made up of over 400 images taken in the space of 11 minutes. At the time, the ISS was traveling over Namibia towards the Red Sea.  

The world's corals are fading fast and the Red Sea might be the cure. In an article posted by The Times of Israel, it has been announced that an alliance with all the countries that border the Red Sea: Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen will come together in an effort to help protect the world's coral from bleaching and dying. 

Move over, Stevie Wonder. There's a new blind man meme in town. Ray Charles is the latest visually impaired musician to star in a trending meme, and these are pretty damn good. The image macros are supposed to represent moments of feigned ignorance, whether political, historical, or just purely relatable. While some of these examples of "looking the other way" are insidious in nature, other memes poke fun at our internet habits or family dynamics. They're all pretty damn funny. 

US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry is the latest politician to become a Twitter meme after visiting Saudi Arabia in early December. Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Khalid A. Al-Falih tweeted some amusing photos of the former Texas Governor's visit. One photo in particular, of Perry posing barefoot in the desert sand, seemed to resonate with Twitter users, who playfully made fun of his "bad boy" stance and his hobbit-like feet.
