Still gong through the highlights of 2025. I'm still in February. We had some amazing #aurora evenings when I was up in Churchill guiding tours.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

BREAKING: ICE announces it has detained Santa Clause because he entered the country illegally and without documentation. "Nobody is above the law," said Pam Bondi, "especially communists who just want to give things away."

Day 2 of being called Tiny on this app. The disrespect is unbelievable.

Here we go. Some Prince Buster & the Skatalites Christmas music...

It's the most wonderful time of the year — the annual War on Christmasᵀᴹ, when grifters get to do performative outrage and victim cosplay over imagined slights. Yay!?! Celebrate the Most Magical of Seasonsᵀᴹ by singing this festive song with us... feel free to add your own verses! 1/?

Too real. 🌞🌞🌞🌴🌴🌴

Fuck this. Happy holidays to everyone except the fascists.

It’s why I try to go see it every year. Support matters. It’s also fun to see the local kids dance, too. They’re always so excited. 🎄🩰

There are few small pleasures more delightful than a holiday card from a friend. Cards made by artists like Claes Oldenburg, Ad Reinhardt and Philip Guston each reflect the unique personality of their makers.

Santa is getting cocky! Left a selfie with the empty cookie plate! Does this guy WANT to get caught?!

American “yams” aren’t even yams, they’re sweet potatoes. Yams are botanically very different from and unrelated to sweet potatoes

My mom is currently spending Christmas in Gubbio, Italy and sent me this video they took of their "tree" lighting there

Love this tune!

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Feliz Navidad! Hyvää Joulua! 메리 크리스마스 Frohe Weihnachten! Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia! In case it's not clear, human diversity is a strength. #politics #Christmas #Trump

Merry Christmas folks. I hope you have a festive and cozy day. 🎄 If not, this too shall pass. 😆

at 0345 hours we lost contact with Santa as he entered russian controlled airspace

“..And the garland of pure light Stayed on, stayed on.” ~ May Sarton, Christmas Light Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas to all the bakers who get up a little earlier to make Christmas morning sticky and bright and with enough cardamom star arms for everyone to have 2 without fighting ❄️❄️

I let my nature geek flag fly at this time of year. I always do a centerpiece with things I have collected on my hikes. Pinecones, acorns, juniper berries, toyon berries, desert mistletoe, seed pods & whatever. I will add a few sprigs from our Noble fir 🌲 Christmas tree. Cost: $0 🌿

Christmas color as we near the end of #ArtAdventCalendar. A staghorn cholla blooming in the Arizona desert, luminous in the late light. I went to #SaguaroNationalPark to see saguaros, not realizing I'd be in a world of other cacti radiant with #flowers. So happy! #nativeplants #flowerphotography 🌿

A dove of peace for Christmas Day. Happy Christmas everyone

In my alternate Rudolph world: monster is the bouncer; Yukon Cornelius is the bookie; Hermey is Yukon’s muscle.

Yukon is one of the Top 3 realest niggas in the history, second only to Lucy Van Pelt on my personal rankings #Rudolph

Told him to shut up and then begged him for help lol

He’d rather his son not be able to breathe in order to please society #Rudolph

Haaaa, the Bumble just had a bad case of tooth decay. See, Herbie was right. Good Elves don't let other Elves get yuck Mouth. #Rudolph

Read the comments for all the other gifts that came with people’s trees. 🌲😆

I just saw this. It's awesome. Crows/Corvids are cool AF.

This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

I still don't know what "bells on bobtail" means.

shout out to the aunts and uncles this season

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise." I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

The Washington Post obtained thousands of private chat messages from the ICE public affairs team tasked by the White House with creating viral raid videos for social media. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i... via @drewharwell.com

Snowstorms are actually more likely to be chilly rain in many areas. Cocoa crops around the world are failing, making chocolate drinks and desserts increasingly expensive. Global warming is even coming for Rudolph, recent research shows.

After Jan 6, the U.S. far right had to find a frame that could distract and shift blame from their election fraud lies. They settled on “censorship” — which made their lying villains into “free speech” heroes, and allowed them to target all of the people and orgs that tried to hold them to account.

Let’s see those Christmas Pupdates!

The last photo I took with my D610 and 200-500mm lens before they took a nose dive off of the shelf while I was outside shoveling. They served me well for many years. #mammals 🌿

First line of 39-page opinion from Judge Amir Ali in DC: "The Constitution forbids government officials from using their power to retaliate against people for their speech.. even when the speech is critical of the government" Judge restores security clearance to whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid

Q: So you are the one who decides which children deserve nice things and which don’t. A: That’s unfair. I’m saying that, through the magic of Christmas, I can understand the heart of each child and through that special bond— Q: Can you see into the heart of every child? A: Yes.

Christmas Eve at the Bodleian ✨ "The rooms were very still while the pages were softly turned and the winter sunshine crept in to touch the bright heads and serious faces with a Christmas greeting." 📚 | Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Not wanting to host a stranger at your home, of course, is the standard for locking someone up in a foreign concentration camp. Do I want the Salvation Army singers at my house? No. Off to the forever prison then, those are our only two options I’m afraid.

I was there. There is no reason not to release the video and transcript. If Jim Jordan refused Jack Smith’s request for a public hearing — like every other Special Counsel — because he allegedly wanted to avoid the 5-minute rule, he got that. Now #releasethetranscript.

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

¡Buenos días! Quería desearos a todos unas felices fiestas y que en estas fechas tan señaladas lo paséis como los indios rodeados de vuestros seres queridos. ¡Un fuerte abrazo, de los apretados!
