Yep, that tracks...😉🤣

A photo from my point of view astride a bike looking down at the ground. On the asphalt is a shiny metal spoon.

In my life I've come to many consequential forks in the road, but this is a first.

Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

Project 2025 co-author Russ Vought on the Trump administration's efforts to implement Project 2025's vision of a Fed more beholden to the president: "I don't even know what that chapter says."

I don't think I've seen a better example of an animal smiling in my life... 🥹

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

A brightly colored bird with vivid red underparts and face, contrasted by dark wings, back, and a black mask around the eyes. It is perched on a mossy, curved branch in a forested area with soft green foliage in the background.

The Rosy-thrush Tanager isn't any of those things. Well, it's rosy. But it's not a thrush or a tanager, but its own family Rhodinocichlidae.

These are not common birds and can be difficult to find in the thick forest they inhabit.

Can everyone share this?

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

A few things are clear from this:
1. Trump has lost control of the narrative.
2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files.
3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries.
4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

My hobbies include not knowing where I want to eat and passionately hating your suggestions.

Today was a long f'ing day...and more tomorrow.💪⚖️🗳️

Ladybird

Nice macro of a Ladybird I captured yesterday in The Garden Jungle, taken with a Sigma 105 2.8 #thegardenjungle #ladybird #nature #macro #insect

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

This 'Extremely Rare' Bird Is Half Female, Half Male The green honeycreeper is only the second of its species ever observed with this condition—and the first recorded in more than 100 years

It’s pride month.
Next time someone tries to tell you there are only two genders and “in nature” individuals are only able to be male or female, tell them about bilateral gynandromorphism; when an animal is female on one side and male on the other.

Just some premium fash on fash violence here.

Suck it to my veignssssssss

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

We all need to take a troubling, new gun violence study to heart The more guns are available, the more children will find them and use them.

A landmark new study finds that after a major SCOTUS decision, child gun deaths soared—but only in states that loosened gun laws. In states that kept them tight, the outcome looked much different. Jeff Nesbit explains.
