Blue Jays are part of the crow family, as my 5yo who is much more knowledgeable about the natural world than I am, recently informed me.

My bird knowledge is poor, I just like to draw them. Grateful to have a young naturalist at home.

I don't want a Fierce beer. I want a mellow full flavored COLD beer.
Thank you

Fierce Beer can do no wrong in my eyes. Trying this for the first time, loving it! Mosaic, mandarina and citra hoppage. 5.8% perfect for warming up my alcohol receptors! Cheers! 👍🍻

Public safety in California is on the rise.

Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023.

We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.

No kidding. blah blah blah. Mr Leader you need to get someone on your staff with an actual personality to do your social media stuff. You are an outstanding human and potentially good Speaker but you are a horrible communicator with the worst comms operation ever.

How many vigilantes pretend ICE Agents does it take to kidnap one guy delivering something? Answer: At least 5. I'm guessing at least half of these masked gang members are imposters.

And by the way why haven't the #EpsteinFiles been released?

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning.

Please take care when watching.
