it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone
They’re such cool birds
Imagine making AI slop when pileated woodpeckers already exist. 🪶
Here's the definitive answer to the debate over "who started it": Republicans.
Before Trump pushed TX to gerrymander last year, the GOP had drawn 42% of all districts, versus just 14% for Dems (the rest were by neutral parties).
The maps below from @stephenwolf.bsky.social make this explicit.
Over the next week, remember that no one in the media did in depth interviews about how Texas Dems or North Carolina Dems felt after they lost representation.
When those Virginia pieces come in about angry people in small towns (fair enough!), keep in mind who media didn't ask.
god this guy rules. he says "I'm going to fix this" and then just goes and does it. really humiliating for every other mayor honestly
remember when they were big mad about obamacare death panels

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES
This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote
But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…
The “crisis” is white people.
A Great Blue Heron takes flight. It's wings are concave as it is lifting into flight.
I saw a nice Great Blue Heron yesterday. I kept clicking as he departed and got a shot where the wings are perfectly concave. Fun, fun click to get!

I've been getting these. They are very, very deceptive, saying Obama is against gerrymandering (which he is in general) but he in reality supports the Virginia redistricting measure. The GOP cannot win telling the truth, so they never do.

And here’s a gift link to the remarkable story about the FBI Director from @theatlantic.com.

i know y'all aren't old enough to know who this is but trust me
Drop your crime-fighting Catholics.
The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday

Just watched a video of Andy Weir describing neutrinos and he says they quantum tunnel through pretty much everything and I don’t feel this is an appropriate use of ”quantum tunneling”
Anyway why ask a woman physicist when you can ask a dude novelist

Trump's followers on Truth Social are calling him the Antichrist after his post of an image depicting himself as Jesus
they're saying that all traces of Viktor are being erased so thoroughly that he's now just an orban legend
