“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

"A screenshot of an exchange on X (formerly Twitter) from March 26, 2026. A user named Alice Smith (@TheAliceSmith) posts, "How about white people get reparations from the world for ending slavery? Or even a thank you?" Below it, Elon Musk (@elonmusk) replies with a single bullseye emoji (🎯). The post shows 59.4K views."

ethical people should not be using right wing propaganda websites owned by white supremacists

They keep making up awards to give our stupid baby president to keep him from throwing his plate on the floor and none of it stops him from throwing his plate on the floor.

how broken inside must you be to watch the speech out of anything other than professional obligation

Was driving down the highway yesterday and saw a Common Raven fly over and land on a billboard next to a pair of Black Vultures and the raven was *significantly* bigger than the vultures and something about those birds together rocked me to my very core and I've been thinking about it all day.

Aw shucks

Yes, I have talks.

They have had ridiculously terrible injury luck for the last three seasons but finally got everyone back and healthy at the same time in December, plus it looks like they got the steal of last year’s draft in Knueppel.

Cape May is correct.

25 yds from goal and he has days to sit there and pick the pass.

Yeah I think of tapes as something very different.

Am I the out of touch one here? Pishing has always read to me as a benign way to engage the natural curiosity of common resident species. The birds investigate, maybe yell at you a bit, and then move on.

There’s an odd aversion in the Reddit birding community to pishing, putting it up with abuse of playback in terms of potential bird stressors to be avoided and I can’t say I get it.

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

“Stuck in 1987” explains the Colombia stuff too, because the country is a modern and safe democracy now and hasn’t been in the thrall of the cartels in many many years.

The worst is when people apply this mindset to the grassroots officials that work their kids’ games.

Now you tell me.

I used to carry like 5 or 6 phone cards in my wallet because I wasn’t sure which ones had minutes left on them.

This is the most bonkers snake behavior I have ever seen. I am legitimately gob-smacked.

I once heard Black Bears described as "bigger, dumber raccoons", and nothing I've ever seen has suggested that wasn't a bang-on characterization.

A reminder to leave Twitter.

I think Jota’s death affected the locker room both on the field and off it in ways that haven’t really been fully realized.

It’s a superfamily. I wouldn’t align against it.

That’s me! In honor of the Grue Jay I came up with a list of other potential hybrids that’d have cool names.

Mt favorite was Smooth-billed Ani x Groove-billed Ani aka the Smooth Groove Ani aka The Steely Dan Ani.

Has anyone ever seen a hybrid of Blue-winged Teal and Green-winged Teal and why isn't it called a Teal-winged Teal?

Suck it robots!

That may be true (re infrastructure and fund-raising), but it seems like it wouldn't be an overwhelming advantage in a small, low-population state like Maine. It shouldn't take a ton of money for an outsider to run a competitive primary campaign there, especially if he's smart about it.
