We made one years ago using two different sources.

a photo with mountains in the foreground. There is one tree in the right front. It is sundown with clouds and a flock of birds. The birds are tiny.

This is the worst fucking timeline.

When Russia says “Bridge of Understanding,”
read it as “Access Point.”
The Bering Link isn’t about peace.
It’s about proximity.👇

Another important detail: He should be posting shit like this from behind bars.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Social media post: Conservative Twins BREAKING: President Trump just revealed that an anonymous billionaire sent a $130 MILLION check to keep paying our troops during the shutdown. "They don't want to be named or recognized," Trump said. That's what real patriotism looks like - no spotlight, no politics, just love for our country and the men and women who defend it. BREAKING: President Trump just revealed that an anonymous billionaire sent a $130 MILLION check to keep paying our troops during the shutdown.

NO, just NO. Never, ever.

Do not confuse "patriotism," or love for our country with the PURCHASE of our country, in the form of a "donation."

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't happen.

Why am I thinking of Mike Johnson right now?

This may be intended as a joke, but when you're a longtime fan and suddenly start seeing really egregious biases in refereeing, it raises serious questions.

Yeah, big shocker, there. Anyone who thought sports betting, embraced and promoted by the NBA (which has "partnerships" with multiple gambling entities), wasn't going to affect the integrity of the game, was deluding themselves.

That goes for other sports, too.

This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us.

It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge.

My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James pleads not guilty to the charges against her.

A Washington resident has filed a lawsuit after he was handcuffed and briefly detained last month for protesting members of the National Guard patrolling D.C. neighborhoods by playing 'The Imperial March' from the "Star Wars" franchise.

White House will allow anonymous donors to contribute to Trump's ballroom project While the administration has released a list of some donors for the ballroom addition, an aide told NBC News that "donors also have the option to remain anonymous."

Heads up: NBC News reports that the White House will allow "anonymous" donors to contribute to Trump's ballroom project. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

Speaking of wagtails, here's a willie wagtail which, as I explained earlier, is not actually a wagtail 😄
This one is pretty bossy. He thinks he owns the joint. I watched him try to chase swallows away from the dam. He's got a big mouth too, as you can see.

The ever-present and common Australian pipit can be seen cheerfully skipping along dirt roads ahead of your car in rural areas. And they often pose beautifully, like this one near Wilmington.
Fun fact: These are closely related to wagtails, whereas willie wagtails are not true wagtails at all.

Ugh, dnw. Drivers are so distracted these days, and those dash screens are a big reason why.

How could I have forgotten the company that’ll help you rat out your your neighbors to ICE?

When we’re not doing sports gambling ads, LLMs that tell you how not to seem like you like your date too much, google cloud data-dredging baseball superstitions, this is the participatory surveillance world series.

Can we go back to beer ads, oversized trucks, and blood pressure pills please?

A group of 19 people standing in front of a large, white tundra buggy after a fun day out looking for polar bears. The buggy is marked as number 9 and stands 9 feet tall at the bottom of the 11 windows along the side.

A woman in a green parka and teal coloured toque smiles as a grey (Canada) jay lands on her head. She has a large camera strapped to her and is standing in the snowy woods.

A large polar bear stares ahead at the photographer as it comes of a rise on a rocky seashore.

It's polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and I'm a guide. My polar bear photos always engender a lot of questions, so I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common ones so you can better understand these amazing animals and our relationship with them in Churchill. 🐻‍❄️ 1/
