Fifteen juvenile black bellied whistling ducks among bright green leafy ground-covering plants. They hold their heads high, alert and watching. They are mostly brown with gray heads and black bills and dark crown stripes. They are very cute.
I tried to get them all in a row but this is the best I could do #whattheflock #birdoftheday #birds
"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now
Every time.

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.
in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

"Your job is so fun," yes, but did you know I have to single handedly fight no fewer than sixth algorithms every day for the privilege of telling people to not set their beds on fire.

40 Years ago today, Geraldo Rivera opened the vault of Al Capone on live TV. Who remembers all the build up to this?
The front page of the Star Tribune on April 22, 2016, following the passing of Prince.
Yeah but that has not typically ended well for people in history.
I am unfortunately on LinkedIn for work purposes and I have to tell you: the LinkedIn normies are as pissed off at the corporate wealth imbalance between executives and everyone else as any diehard leftist on here.
Idk what CEOs think they're accomplishing here, but it's not anything good.
Thank you! And yeah the 2000s were great. BSG was so fun to vid too.
My BSG vid, "Fix You" 😄
I love you people in the replies. 5-6 years down the line, your Gen Alpha friend is gonna show you Blorbo, the hot new cartoon that's actually about trauma?!? Its appeal will be obvious, but also somehow inscrutable to you. You will feel the warm and beautiful sense of cultural isolation I feel.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

I can stare at a screen as effectively at the airport as I can at home. If they would let me, I would go to the airport to stare at screens every day. There are so many outlets. And Boingo hotspots as far as the eye can see.

Two red squirrels sitting next to each other in a bird feeder, studiously avoiding eye contact as they munch on sunflower seeds. Barely visible on the right is the nose of a third squirrel about to cause chaos.
One squirrel holds down another while a third squirrel squirms on its back as the three of them high-speed wrestle in a wooden bird feeder.
A chaotic ball of three red squirrels in a wooden tray feeder. Seeds fly through the air as they recreate the cartoon depiction of a fight as a cloud of dust with arms and legs sticking out.
One squirrel lies on its back eyes closed against the chaos, almost in the arms of another who looks appalled at the third squirrel face-planting in the feeder at the feet of the other two.
Chaos in the bird feeder this morning. My two squirrel buddies decided to tolerate each other again so I grabbed my camera. A third tried to get in on the action and these crazy photos ensued.
I promise no squirrel was injured. All of this happened in the space of seconds. #Mammals 🌿
Dogs come into the world with nothing
Then you come and pick one up
And life is better for everyone
Absolutely incredible.
