A tall, elegant bird with a long, pointed bill stands among lush green foliage. Its pale blue head feathers drape down its neck like streamers, and its chest displays a striking pattern of fine, dark lines over a white base.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.

a photo of sly stone with text that says “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.”

RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.

This is Lola. She is one of the most skilled soccer dribblers we've ever seen, so it makes sense that she's already capturing footage for her documentary. 14/10

"A painful reminder to Europe to be vigilant and unyielding towards all those who see hatred and want to divide our society"

"Europe knows this path all too well. And never, never again must we embark on this path"

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

We drone struck an American citizen under Obama. Slippery slopes?

No I represented a mom and pop shopping center they claimed free rent forever because a cell mobility store was in the center. LOL

Had a case against Radio Shack that went on 9 years. We won.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Europe ‘Frankly Insane’ To Keep Importing Fossil Fuels, Scientist Says Experts have blasted both the EU and U.S. governments in response to a new report confirming that Europe is the world's fastest warming continent.

🚨NEW: Europe ‘Frankly Insane’ To Keep Importing Fossil Fuels, says @frediotto.bsky.social. There are dozens of stories about the new @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate report, so I thought I'd highlight something a little different.

Trump administration says wrongly deported man is alive in El Salvador prison The U.S. government continued to refuse to provide any details about whether it has taken any steps to return him to the United States.

For those who aren't following, the Trump Administration is claiming that they do not have to bring back people they have wrongfully deported without due process. Essentially, once they're in el Salvador, there's nothing they can do.

Holy ****, this is bad. 1/n

So we’re gonna screw over the Etsy businesses but Apple gets exempted.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

This was three months ago.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Elections have consequences

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop
