Actually, don't bother with them any more. Call your other Dem Senators and tell them to get rid of Schumer as minority leader.

While you're busy calling the offices of Dem cavers telling them to GTFO, please also make time to thank the valiant holdouts in the House and Senate who are protecting the remnants of integrity and decency.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

a whole lot of mushrooms growing in the woods. they’re tan-ish - almost white at the rim and darker brown near the top.

a white mushroom with little white bumps all over. It’s kind of elliptical. there are no gills and it’s growing in the woods - maybe on a decaying piece of wood. the mushroom is a little out of focus.

six little tan mushrooms growing in the woods. the surface is kind of soft and fuzzy looking. they have no gills and might be some sort of puffball but maybe not. basically they look like puffy blobs growing out of the ground. they’re kind of cute.

went mushrooming. didn’t find what we were looking for but these looked pretty. anyone know what they are?

or dementia.

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

Fairies are real.

Vaux’s swifts turning in for the night.

Record wildfire smoke kills more people each year than car crashes. It’s about to get worse. The past six summers have been the smokiest on record. New research shows that smoke could become the costliest consequence of climate change for Americans.

TIL wildfire smoke is right up there with gun violence and car crashes as a cause of premature death.

I think I’ll keep this handy for next time someone tries to minimize climate change as an issue.

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

The folks supposedly against "cancel culture" are getting networks to, literally, *cancel culture* because Donald's brittle feelings were hurt.

Extremely tiny and cute snapping turtle

I got yer timeline cleanse right here, folks. A whole clutch of teeny tiny snapping turtle behbehs emerged one at a time from their underground nest and crossed the gravel road while I and a couple other humans watched and made sure they were safe from anyone else coming along.

The «radical left» does not exist, it‘s a meme invented by online nazis

House Dems should drop a ‘Charlie Kirk Gun Safety Act’ on the floor just to make Republicans go on record voting against it.

Update: The Professor was fired, the Dean and Department Chair who (rightfully) defended her were removed from their positions, and every course at the University is now being subjected to a state audit.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

I admit to not shopping much in the past decade and to living in a town with mostly resale shops. Sadly, Zara looks nicer than anything I see here. Thank you for explaining. I see your point.

I’m missing something - as I often do - isn’t reselling/reusing an option to throwing things away?

Not to be a lib, but you guys, I don’t think Kamala Harris would be selling merch for the tents surrounded by alligators being used as a concentration camp.
