Sounds like you need to go stay in a secret hotel

Military personnel in Portland

I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

this still holds up i think. about how to care without killing yourself about it

If I were a curator at the Smithsonian faced with a Trumpist review of the items in my care, I'd take the audit stooges into the deepest part of the unsorted acalyptrate fly collection and have them start there, drawer by drawer, until they die of old age having gone through half of them.

Researchers Discover Cause of Sea Star Wasting Disease

More than a decade after the start of a marine epidemic that's killed billions of sea stars, researchers have discovered the bacterium responsible for Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD). This is a key step toward recovery for the 20+ species affected from Alaska to Mexico.

Trump fires BLS commissioner after weak jobs report Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

It is seriously dangerous territory when Trump fires anyone who doesn't cook the books for him.

The entire economy hinges on the accurate, nonpartisan data we get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Republicans need to join us in fighting to protect the integrity of BLS.

My favorite was The Liberace Museum in Vegas, which sadly closed, but it looks like there’s now a new iteration! liberace.org/liberace-mus...

Mouth splinter is absolutely an emergency in my opinion

E.P.A. Plans to Revoke the Legal Basis for Tackling Climate Change

Welp, they're going to do it. They're revoking the 2009 “endangerment finding” that declared greenhouse gases a threat to public health and allowed the EPA to regulate emissions.

The next time Democrats are in charge, they need to pass a law to regulate greenhouse gases.

If I could make that sound, I’d make it all the time

Yes.

The wingspan of this juvenile burrowing owl is quite impressive. #birds #birds! #owl #wingspan #NikonZ9 #widlife #Floridabirds

Wilson’s phalaropes twirling like Dervishes to create a whirlpool that brings food to the pond’s surface. I love to watch them do that 😵‍💫

Dear Jeff Bezos …

Have you heard about the Roadless Rule? It's a policy to protect forestland across the country that Trump is repealing.

A legislative fix will take time—the best way to fix this is to speak up now. Help get the word out.

We need to pressure Republicans to reverse course.

This clip aged like fine wine.

Text exchange, me: “Colbert is canceled Last show will be in May, “purely a financial decision” is what network said” Response: “Trump Mother fucker”

The headstones are super cool with lots of old symbols/symbolism on them

The ears hats got me

A map of Interstate 5 in Seattle. Marked by red arrows and lines is the full closure of the northbound I-5 mainline between I-90 and Northeast 45th Street in Seattle. Handwritten text on the screen notes the interstate is closed in the northbound directions from July 18th to 21st. Cute animals with WSDOT hard hats occupy various spaces on the screen. Text boxes near them say we're here to soften the blow and is it working?

The time has come to Revive I-5. NB I-5 in Seattle between I-90 & NE 45th St will CLOSE starting at 11:59p on Friday, July 18, through 5a Monday, July 21.
The express lanes will be NB ALL WEEKEND & beyond. WB I-90 exit to NB I-5 will close.

That’s nuts! She’s gorgeous

I edited together all the social interactions from the Cuomo campaign relaunch video and it became a short film about clinical depression

Oh just normal brain ideas like scaling down the feeder cams to insect size for people to observe their pollinators in new ways :-)

Someone should make a little macro camera, Bug Buddy 🐞
