Fiery-throated Hummingbird (Panterpe insignis): 10.9cm (4.3in). This is a medium sized hummingbird of the Talamancan montane forests of Costa Rica and western Panama. The adult bird has brilliant green body plumage and a dark blue tail. A remarkable photo taken by Alfredo Irizarry in Costa Rica.

It's wild. We have so many real problems as a country, and instead a large chunk of our political class would rather hallucinate that one of the safest big global cities in the world is actually dangerous.

Update, package was in fact delivered today. Based on my daughter’s non denial it contains my Christmas present, hence why she was so anxious to know if it had come 🤭

Thank you Reeves, I love this song so much 😊

*SQUEALS* 🥰🥰🥰

Now *that's* how you do it

I had to read it when I was young, as soon as I saw that people were living for centuries I knew it was strange, then I got to all the incest and rape 🤢 youtu.be/3s4Xq9RXvzo?...

What an imbecile

Well one of them barely spoke to me for the last years of her life because I said I was an atheist so I guess not.

*Sheepish Teenager* “Mum, did a package come today?”

“No, why?”

“I ordered something off TikTok and they said it was delivered but there’s no sign of it”

Oh what a great twist 😊 Nina you rock girl! #TheBeastinMe

Really helping my theory that is better not to think of the Democrats as a party but rather a jobs program for consultants

It’s a poor imitation of the original, Ronnie Barker was so funny as Arkwright!

If you haven’t seen #TheBeastinMe it’s well worth a watch, very disturbing but well written

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.

This has been in the press for 2 days.

The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…

And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

The Swiss Government has rejected using Palantir saying it presents devastating security risks.

Why are we using it?

And if any of the kids had been hurt while playing on it, they’d have been lining up their compensation claims.

What's funny is people think this happens when you go to China, but they've never had a policy this restrictive.

There’s a reason why English football fans sing about “Two World Wars and One World Cup” and the German bombers song, as offensive and childish as they are.

The disinherited son of a Marquess is found poisoned by an anthrax-laced IPA. Suspicion falls on Little Auburn’s manager of Midsomer’s largest banana farm, disturbed that redevelopment and/or radical Islam might threaten ChatGPT (Mansplaining as a Service).

I’ve even seen some very distinguished and “small c conservative” theologians say that. The whole thing was a set up

Labour is really showing why no government should seemingly base its rhetoric or policies on what it perceives as "public opinion" from looking at comments on X.

These ill-advised, inhumane, relentless attacks on the rights of marginalised groups feel like a troll poster's wet dream at times.
