flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
I see that pup!👀

where is your pup?
My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus
A moss-covered tree stump fills the foreground, its flat cut surface forming a small raised platform in a shaded woodland. The stump runs horizontally across the image, with its vertical sides dropping into darker, damp wood below. Across the top, a mixed community of mosses forms a dense, bright green covering. Most of the surface is a low, spreading carpet (mat growth form), but this is interrupted by a slightly raised mound where shoots grow more upright, forming a small cushion or tuft. This area appears a lighter, more vivid green, with fine, radiating leaf tips giving a soft, star-like texture. Towards the edges and down the sides of the stump, the growth becomes looser and more irregular, with some shoots trailing downward in response to gravity and moisture, creating a transition from compact surface growth to hanging strands. Ivy (Hedera helix) weaves through the scene. Several lobed, glossy leaves (a few centimetres across) rise above the moss surface, while thin stems run diagonally across the stump and down its sides, providing a sense of scale and direction. The moss colony spans roughly 20–30 cm across the top. Individual shoots are only a few millimetres tall, contributing to an overall soft, textured surface rather than distinct visible leaves at this distance. The background is softly out of focus, showing greens and browns of deciduous woodland, suggesting a cool, humid environment where moisture lingers — conditions that support a diverse bryophyte community.
A very mossy stump.
Devon on Friday.

A mesmerizing sight on Florida's coast, eagle rays surf the waves in groups, conserving energy while hunting for food in shallow waters. Nature's beauty in motion awaits you.
The pear tree that @hellokerry.bsky.social and I bought for our dad @picsbymydad.bsky.social finally flowered! This is his picture. I love it.
Exactly. It's ridiculous
That's really good
A less than regular visitor came by this afternoon, a male Costa’s hummingbird with that amazing purple gorget! Also some nice squeaks and wing hums.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Tulip Falls.
How nice! She must have been a lovely woman.
That sounds perfect!
I'm assuming they'll put a big gold Trump Logo on it that's visible from earth.
