Yesterday we started #kakapo artificial insemination for the season. We do this to help maintain genetic diversity, with a potential additional benefit of improving fertility. We inseminated Esperance, who mated naturally a few nights ago. #conservation #parrots #birds

three sheets of paper are taped to the outside of a building. they have the words "The Oval Office" in gold script

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

For the first time in a year, it feels like there's hope for #americanpolitics.
Next up @aoc.bsky.social for President & @mayorofchicago.bsky.social for VP?

Scene from the riser as @wutrain.bsky.social announces that in Boston “wins can’t be bought”

“We won by a margin money can’t buy.“

Perennial candidate Roy Owens, this year running for the District 7 seat Tania Fernandes Anderson was convicted out of, maintains his perfect streak of not winning.

The Sarah Roberts Case (U.S. National Park Service)

Happy first day of school, Boston!

And a happy new school opening day to The Sarah Roberts.

Sarah and her father Benjamin filed the first school desegregation suit in US history in 1849.

She was represented by Robert Morris, the first Black attorney in MA, and future US Senator Charles Sumner.

The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no longe...

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

The Supreme Court just made it easier for states to defund Planned Parenthood “Today’s decision…is a dangerous green light for politicians to target any providers they don’t like."

As a result, with today’s decision, the Supreme Court has removed one of the only practical ways to stop a state from punishing doctors it doesn’t like by kicking them out of the Medicaid program.
