Amazing sunset tonight, with @kclemson.bsky.social ‘s garden in the foreground!

Last week we took a cruise in Alaska and I took this photo of one of the many seaplanes nearby - I think these guys saw me?

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Evie is so black that it’s usually hard to get a good picture of her. The other option is to wait for the afternoon.

Three bald eagles in gray sand on the beach. The one on the left is the traditional white head and the other two are immature with a brown and ivory pattern. The left eagle is in the air leaping, the middle eagle has its wings out, and the right eagle is watching the other two.

This was amazing! The more mature bald eagle (with the white head) is showing the juniors how to scrounge on the beach for fish that are stuck in the sand. He (he’s pretty small so I’ll guess male) leaps down on a fish. The others imitate as they learn.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

This is expected from apocalypse cult Christians. Non-evangelicals are non-human and they exist only to die. Everyone “perishing from the earth” is the goal! “People are gonna die” is a success for them!

“I thought people understood” is the big giveaway. “You didn’t know your death is the plan??”

Does 3 eagles count as a convocation?

Two bald eagles in flight. The more mature is flying towards us, while the more juvenile is flying upside down, underneath the first eagle.

I watched this juvenile bald eagle make a 180, ending up flying backwards, looking up at the other eagle as it hunted!

The eye of the Arnett, OK tornado, captured by one of our UAVs as it collected scientific data on the environment within.

A great blue heron gracefully takes flight above a marshy wetland, its long legs trailing behind and its broad wings partially open, framed by lush green grass in the background.

This bird must have listened to a Maxell cassette tape
