One of these birds is not like the other. Off-season willet among the black-necked stilts at the Rio Cuale mouth, Puerto Vallarta.

Causation is a lack of money from sponsors pulling out. It’s happening all over.

A surprise encounter with a cinnamon-rumped seed-eater in a Puerto Vallarta garden.

Short thread Today in MN is a perfect example of why I ask y'all to subscribe to my human rights advocacy. Corporate media knew MN interfaith leaders were coordinating a historic protest with thousands of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus & non-believers working TOGETHER. And none showed up. 1/3

A pair of bald eagles in Big Bear, California have something new in their nest.

Blanche sends Ghislane Maxwell to Club Fed, kills an investigation of Ross, and launches an investigation of the victim. A truly evil bastard.

Tucson; no specific details of causation.

This is scary. "Three of the five worst harvests on record have now occurred since 2020, leaving some farmers asking whether the growing impacts of the climate crisis are making it too financially risky to sow their crops." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi fungal friends! For #FungalFriday a thread about our newly published work, “Land use drives drug resistance in an airborne human fungal pathogen”, now out in The ISME Journal with @bobriggeman.bsky.social, Hylke Kortenbosch, @benauxier.bsky.social + co-authors academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

Today was a good day for our former PhD student Hugh Gifford, who got his first first-author paper out! Such a huge contribution to the mycology field and our understanding of Candida auris infection: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking ,birds walking. The alternative theme is #birdinabush any bird in a bush. Good luck. I’ve went with a Meadow Pipit on a day trip to the beach, looking for a suitable place to lay his towel. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

As Davos & the world waits for another of the world's most boring, repetitious and self-indulgent speeches, when Trump takes the stage, here's a far more entertaining speech from Spain MEP Irene Montero about Trump slamming "the Hitler of the 21st century" for his appeasement.

Day 1428 of death + destruction in Ukraine. It's easy to think purely of the numbers, horrifying as they are. But let's also remember as well as those dying on the frontline, I cannot remember a single day in this war when Ukrainian civilians did not get killed by Russian. Here's the daily🧵

Over 2,000 clergy members from around the country signed onto a letter to Congress, demanding an investigation into the killing of Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Standing outside of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s office, one clergy member said, “the blood of Renée Good is on his hands.”

BREAKING: The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things we told you he did - sex trafficking minors, prostition (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. Read the report here: www.floridabulldog.org/wp-content/u...

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Being contemplated by a citrioline trogon is one of the strong points of an Ecotours Vallarta venture. Today during the hour of morning bird glory.

Europe took on Trump — and won. Total surrender by Trump after he humiliated himself and the nation on the world stage.

CD posts are offline temporarily while I’m away from the collection.

Theatre Air Canada: always some items you’d be hard pressed to encounter elsewhere unless you were an avid festival-goer. Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day … 2024 movie about gay movie makers in 1957 Croatia (as Yugoslav state). Troubles and best of times.

… what set me off thinking was it’s Davos today - a jolly for the international elite to enjoy whilst they check on their secretive Swiss bank accounts. Every billionaire from Bono to Musk & Trump [he’s finally a billionaire now, having gone to the Putin School of Kleptocracy]. He’s even…

It fascinates me that the far right is obsessed with global secretive groups intent on world domination. Back in the ‘60s they were convinced that the UN was going to create a one world govt [nuts!] & of course in the 1930s it was Jewish ppl. The truth is far more interesting…

Good morning on Day 1427 of the war in Europe. It was another difficult night for Ukrainians as Russia continued its genocidal policy by continuing to hit heating and power targets. The is THE daily thread - just one guy still going strong every single day!

It's Day 1426 of Russia's insane and genocidal war in Ukraine. The daily thread is here again, much later than usual after a "body reset" I think. So, a lot to catch up on, but let me take you through all the news, free of hyperbole and not sugar coated.

#StillDoinCDs When you age out of the Vienna Boys Choir, you may get into the Choralschola of the Vienna Hofburgkapelle & sing Gregorian chants by 16th cent. composers like Josquin Desprez in new lowered voices, with still-treble boys adding the high bits. Geistliche Musik=Sacred Music (2004).

Donald J. Trump has driven this nation to the precipice. This is not a normal political disagreement. It is a constitutional emergency. Read more from Rick Wilson: https://www.againstallenemies.net/p/a-declaration-of-independence-from?r=1ne2d&shareImageVariant=overlay&triedRedirect=true

As expected, DHS’s claims were false. It’s still possible the men previously lived at the address, but it’s clear they didn’t even bother to check whether they still lived there before publicly claiming the men currently lived with Mr. Thao.

It's the 3rd day in a row that our park by the river has been blanketed by fog. We decided to give it a shot. The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #birdsyoulove and 1 of my faves was there! Always a thrill to see one! A Belted Kingfisher, female! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” What?
