Here's a still of today's sunrise behind a moisture layer of which I don't know what it's called and blow a cloud layer which created these unique conditions and allowed me to see sun spots with my naked eye. #Nofilter, as they say.

"Go Down Posting" - The White House
I don’t think the administration’s strategy of getting the most popular entertainers today to loudly denounce their evil agenda as a way to boost views on their crimes against humanity is actually going to work out the way they think

I don't like to focus on immigrants defined solely by their labor, but since it's Black Friday/Cyber Monday/WhateverThisWeekIs millions of people in America don't get their little packages without the Minnesota Somali community.
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

This morning, after 4 years of chasing them down, I got 2 in flight female bufflehead videos. I thought I got THE VIDEOS. I didn't. Of the 1800 or so frames between the two videos only these couple were useful, BUT the advantage of having so few usable frames is we can make a gif!

Still a W. 🪶

I'm a total bufflehead groupie.
Thank you for teaching me a new bird today. At first this morning I thought you were referring to yourself as a bufflehead, like the bird is called a buffle and you are a groupie lol

Pseudo reflection. Confused pelican gives up on whether the gull is two gulls or it's just a reflection. Ha!

Nobody should expect you to read everything, especially not everything that is thematically or technically difficult.

Of course I will gladly talk with you about those books. As shared experiences, they have value, and...

They have characters other readers want you to meet.

You're invited 💌📚

Cattle rustling is one of those things like high seas piracy or athletes getting intimidated by gamblers: it's a real problem, it's a serious problem for the people dealing with it, but it sounds slightly silly and funny to the rest of us because of the fiction tropes.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

In honour of Jane Austen's upcoming birthday, I made one of her favourite dishes: cheese toast.

My version: egg, dijon mustard, cheddar, Stilton, homemade bread

I don’t really think I’ve enumerated the logic behind my “gotta persuade and teach” ideology, which I *know* sounds naive and pollyannish, no need to remind me. But this post is a significant part of my reasoning: the speed of info is changing, and we simply need stronger bricks to build new arches!
The period from roughly the telegraph to the smartphone, during which it was possible to disseminate information near universally but cumbersome enough that you needed to be a large institutional actor to do so, turns out to have been a fairly brief and weird historical bubble.

Starbucks workers and a spongebob meme on a picket line with Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani really feels like we've hit a new tier.
Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov for joining us on the picket line today in Brooklyn. Your support means the world to us, and makes it clear: This fight isn't just about coffee. It's about dignity, fair wages, better hours and an end to union busting. #NoContractNoCoffee

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
But the verye next daye ther came a wolf,
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste
