I follow quite a few bird people here because, well, who doesn't love birds? They're cool. They're weird. They're interesting. They come in a fascinating variety of sizes, shapes, and colors.

This is my favorite educational bird lecture so far.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

The Ford Pinto wasn't just infamous for catching fire and killing people during a crash; it was infamous for the leaked memo where Ford said the $50million to pay off survivors was less than the $121million to recall and retool, so the deaths were an acceptable business issue.

You can do what you want.

But the logic for staying on Twitter is insane, some form of Gell-Mann Amnesia: Everyone else's posts are obviously besotted in apartheid-forward engagement bots, but MY posts are clearly unaffected, because they're beautiful and perfect. Again, do you, but I'm all set.

21-Year-Old's Body Found In Wooded Area Of Georgia Park The unidentified 21-year-old man was found Feb. 14 in Fair Oaks Park in Marietta, Georgia, northwest of the city of Atlanta.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

The @nws.noaa.gov Boston office has not caught up with the modeling showing a MAJOR snowstorm for Boston, still saying it's just going to hit the Cape and South Coast.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

In "Wag the Dog," there is no war. They fake it.

Not an incidental detail. A core feature of the story.

If a country drops bombs, it is not wagging the dog, it is using military force.

If you think a govt is using force abroad as a domestic political distraction, it's called a diversionary war.

The Trump administration is a nothing more than a criminal enterprise hiding behind the presidential seal.

It only takes 23 Republicans to end all of this, but apparently no one in their party has the balls to save this country from these gangsters.

Prince Charles 'accepted a suitcase with 1m euros', report claims Clarence House says the correct processes were followed with the Qatari sheikh's charitable donations.

While we're all celebrating that no one is above the law, a reminder that the current King accepted literal bags full of cash from the Prime Minister for a foreign country and the Met failed to interview or arrest the then Crown Prince before quietly closing the case.
