A couple more photos of this beautiful bird from my previous post that kindly gave me a close range photo op.

Well, they should know that "befehl ist befehl" will not save them.

At some point someone is going to have to say "genug ist genug."

So...all the shrinkflation, & price increases have been what...just straight up greed?

Not to mention the adulteration from food producers who are using cheaper ingredients and now their previously shitty foods don't even taste the same!

But yeah...make food dye natural!
Oh, & it's the DEMs fault!

I am still waiting for a red flag!

If the price increases were seeing is from only 1/3rd of businesses affected raising prices, then were so fucked when the other 2/3rds raise theirs.

It's all DEMs fault.
But let something good happen and that's all Trump!

Gold hit $4,031 on October 7th 2025.
It was $2,661 on October 7th 2024.

Came across this Orange-crowned Warbler while taking a walk today.

Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

Two psychiatry organizations have released statements saying that the actions of the RFK Jr have increased stigma, instilled fear and hurt access to mental health and addiction care.

The government shutdown disrupted flights at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Could it get worse? Hollywood Burbank Airport's air traffic control tower was temporarily unstaffed Monday and flights were delayed or canceled due to staffing shortages amid the government shutdown.

Hours with no air traffic controllers.

Staffing shortages.

Flight delays.

Health care costs going through the roof.

Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt.

Remember when we had air traffic controllers?

Photo of a Double-crested Cormorant standing on a pinkish rock at the edge of a rippled pond reflecting green leaves and sunlight as the bird looks to the left, showing off his orange and black hooked bill

On the lakefront the cormorants are often far out over the water, skimming along the surface, but at Riis Park yesterday, one was hanging out with the geese at the edge of the pond. 😍 #birds

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY. 😍 Lifer! I didn't get a pic of the first one I saw, but I was confident of the ID, and then this gorgeous creature just *posed* for me. Nelson's Sparrow might be my favorite sparrow now. #birds

Close-up photo of a female Mallard damn near shining in the sun on a rippled green pond, with a giant clump of white fuzz (maybe cottonwood?) stuck on top of her bright orange and black bill

Ma'am. You have a little something... 🤭 #birds

I just realized I liked a post today that had body shaming in it.
I have since unliked it.
I feel need to try harder!

I try to do the same!

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

So let me get this straight…the shutdown is the Democrats fault for trying to save healthcare for Americans and legal immigrants, but the Republicans will gladly not pay and fire federal workers, ending their healthcare and increasing unemployment. Right….🙄🙄

That's the DEMs fault too!
If we hadn't angered him he wouldn't have to be nasty to us!

We've been a bad girl!
And daddy is giving us a spanking!

Sorry this is the sort of abusive logic my father had!

That's of we're allowed to vote.
Or perhaps our elections will be like Russia from now on.
You can vote for anyone you like as long as their last name is Trump.

Things seen on "the TikTok."

Exactly!
Pre-life!
Pro-control!

I didn't think about defensive pooping!

But yeah, she loves you!

YRWA#5. A Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) I recently stumbled across at Woodcock Lake, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. #birds 🪶

Think of it as a good sign.
It used to happen with my snakes all the time.
I used to see it as them being comfortable around me, because doing that in the wild is typically a moment of weakness.

Exactly!
Most are scheduled months in advance and give the opposition time to prepare.
Then it lasts for the weekend.

A revolution guided by comfort and convenience.

lol

Destabilizing all trade...
Making the cost of everyday goods out of reach...
Alienating the US from our Allies...

All from the inside out!

And Putin never had to fire one shot!

Taxation without representation!

This also could be them laying the foundation for another smoke screen for the next gov't shutdown.
They are basically creating a problem that doesn't exist so they can blame DEMs for yet another gov't shut down & then they will "fix" the problem they created, but not really...Like Medicaid!

Maybe?
