Some of the most beautiful people in the world call Minnesota home. And welcome immigrants to call it home as well. 💙☮️🗽 projects.propublica.org/why-minneapo...

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

When I was 11 I won a design an ad contest where the prize was $50, I was so pumped to buy some sick Legos until I found out it wasn't cash it was a Patriot Bond I'd have to wait decades to be able to use. I'm pleased to report I cashed it today and immediately went and bought some sick ass Legos

Donald Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting — including Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating” — used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place Tuesday. What a hypocrite!!! Gift article 🎁

ICE agents showed up at airports across the country this morning. Most seemed to have no clear purpose just standing around. Apparently the only goal was to make travelers uneasy with federal agents hovering around.

Trump is not losing his mind. He’s losing his filter…further revealing the primitive, degenerate mind he’s always had. Minor distinction, but an important one.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures

For whatever dimwits that didn’t already know this!

They're good at cosplaying being a victim. That's how they keep their cult engaged in the cruelty.

EVERYONE needs to be LOUDLY talking about how the Trump family's plans to amass more wealth via their business dealing in the middle east, will be OBLITERATED as soon as nuclear weapons enter ANY equation. Money is the only language he cares to understand. The end times enthusiasts can fuck off.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

And maybe a cup of coffee..

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.
