West side of Colorado Springs.

An aqua green hummingbird with a fluffy patch of purple feathers on the side of the head. The bird is sitting on a bare branch and facing left.

Lesser Violetears are small hummingbirds found in Central America and western South America. "Its short bill and diminutive size restrict it to feeding from small flowers, requiring that it visits an estimated 2,700 flowers per day to meet its metabolic needs." 😮

Snap count visualization for the Chiefs from the inimitable @reinhardNFL. Incredibly informative. Players are listed as they entered the game, and almost exactly as how I would have ordered the depth charts.

There were way too many possibilities, so i cleared out some letters.

Some bogeys are better than others.

It’s interesting watching how Trump’s “just say it happened & people will fall in line” approach doesn’t translate internationally. In his first term, global leaders respected the office, not the man. This time, they know exactly what they’re getting and have adjusted accordingly

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Why I Finally Went to my First Protest It took 58 years, but I showed up — because the bastards are counting on us not to.

I didn’t show up on June 14 because I discovered a late-in-life love for pithy signs or patchouli. I’m not suffering from adult-onset hippie syndrome. I showed up because the stakes have changed. This isn’t politics as usual — it hasn’t been for a decade.
