Nicobar Pigeon The Nicobar Pigeon is one of the world's most beautiful pigeons, admired for its shimmering metallic green and blue plumage, long neck hackles, and distinctive appearance. Found on islands from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the western Pacific, related to the DoDo. 📷 R.Sharma

“Based on the most recent data available, the vast majority of people at the facility have no conviction (88.3%) and the large majority have no criminal history whatsoever (70.5%).”

No! Ocean data centres are not the future. The oceans don’t need hundred of heat exchangers increasing ocean temperatures further. Ocean temperatures are already precarious adding to extreme weather events. www.worldconstructionnetwork.com/analyst-comm... #BanOceanDataCentres #BlueSky #Oceans

A lot of arguments re: evolutionary psychology end up revolving around "are humans more like chimpanzees or bonobos" (we are equally closely related to both) And the real answer is "neither, for reasons that are very obvious if you aren't ideologically motivated to ignore them" Let me explain:

Mom. 21, leaving wartime Switzerland to work at the Swiss Consulate in Los Angeles. Crossed the US by train. She said she was stunned to see the Mississippi was nothing like the Rhein. Miss you so much Mom! You had a good life.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

South lLake Tahoe. another favorite: Pray for Snow.F—k ICE (Having a bad late ski season….)

Hey anyone know if there's a solidarity fund for TSA agents, maybe through the union? As an old Fed I know what this "you're essential but not enough to be paid SXXXt is like. I'd like to show a little support.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

This is sort of part of the series... @lollardfish.bsky.social

Can this be a solution?

Making it easy to gamble was the solution to a different problem, depriving mafias and other criminal organizations of an income source. the NYS Lottery was founded in 1967. No one had any idea of the kind of brain engineering we have now.

Wow.

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Thank you to everyone who has shared this. The hearing is over for today. DHS has filed a motion to pretermit (end Guan's asylum application in the US) and have him sent to Uganda - where he'd be at risk of being sent to China. The hearing to decide that will be held 12 January.

This is not true. Musk is endorsing (again) a version of the white nationalist great replacement theory, as told by Stephen Miller. It is a conspiracy theory and it was confined to the fringes of the Internet until 10 or so years ago. If true, Harris would’ve easily won in 2024.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals! www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Everyone needs to put this on blast.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

Adobe's AI assistant offered to summarize my "document." Here's what I got: This document provides a comprehensive guide for practicing classical guitar, focusing on techniques, practice strategies, and learning methodologies. it was sheet music for a Bach prelude. Artificial idiocy....

Can't have been "far" better. Maybe incrementally better. As a pre-Kaplan test taker I thought Mamdani's scores were pretty damn impressive.

Ok, enough with the alligators. They make people think this is some kind of cartoon. People are going to die of heat stroke or starvation or drown or die in a hurricane or a lot of other not at all funny things. Call it what it is. American Auschwitz. Pass it on.

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

PSA on MN law. First-degree murder requires a grand jury indictment in MN. Folks who get prosecuted for first-degree murder are first charged with second-degree murder, which does not require a grand jury indictment. That’s just a placeholder charge until prosecutors can get to the grand jury.

If these shootings happened abroad news media would be calling it #Terrorism rather than political violence.

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Trump in Saudi Arabia: "We've cut our healthcare by 50 to 90 percent." Journalists, do your jobs. Quote this to him. Follow up. Don't accept an "I don't know, ask Bessent".

Reminder that NORAD is a joint Canada/US military command & that other than Alaska, almost all our early-warning system uses Canada-based radar installations. RCAF/CANR soldiers protect the US from Russian/Soviet nukes fired over the pole & have done so for ~70 years.

This is your Tuesday morning reminder that the federal minimum wage is still a measly $7.25 an hour. It puts a full-time worker below the poverty line. It’s worth less than at any time since 1949. It would be $23 today if it had kept pace with the growth in productivity. #PayThePeople

So..amid all this excitement did anyone see any expressions of respect by the White House for our dead servicemen in Lithuania or the victims of the storms in the middle of the country? Or is that sort of thing just woke nonsense these days?

At least the Declaration of Independence is timely again: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

Sure the economy is tanking, sure mass firings of health and foreign assistance experts is putting us at risk, sure innocent folks are being sent to gulags in Central America, sure national security leaders are talking war plans on Gmail and Signal. But, don’t be shortsighted. Think of the upside.

“Russia, Russia, Russia!” Isn’t on the tariff list to absolutely no one’s surprise.

💯

Can I just point out to all dozen of my devoted followers that the trade-weighted tariff rate for all products entering the EU is 2.7 %? NOT "39%"? Hallucinatory levels of incompetence.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.
