Best Twitter riposte of the day is from Ronald Reagan's budget master.

I redid my composite lunar eclipse over Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands to fix a little of the color and opacity; clouds made the night tricky, but the moon shown through at moments exactly until moonset/blood red color shift. Arc is a little off *shrug*.

2/ "The President shall not suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty ... except by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided that two-thirds of the Senators present concur, or pursuant to an Act of Congress."

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

#Birds Anna's were in full breeding plumage yesterday.

Project 2025 calls for the privatization of TSA and the destruction of their union representation. This tracks with what Little Mikey is trying to do.

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

#BirdoftheDay #Splash #PhotographersUnited #NikonPhotography #birds In January, a pair of curve-billed thrashers took advantage of a non-frozen puddle to bathe. Here’s one.

Rest In Power Joe 🕊️ 💟☮️ Godspeed 🚀

Take a break from the crazy and enjoy the mind-twisting creative genius that came up with the signs (and art).

#BirdoftheDay #PowerPose Gould’s wild turkeys at Madera Canyon were putting on QUITE the show for the ladies this day. It was hilarious watching the hens filing in for their courtship like ladies coming down the staircase. #Birds #NikonPhotography #PhotographersUnited

Today’s #BirdoftheDay is #BirdsinTheirElement. I found this juvenile Seahawk (osprey) looking like he had just gone four+ quarters with a New England team, but he’s still the ruler of the Pacific. #NikonPhotographers #photographersUnited #Birds

I'm not even kidding about this. This is a really fucking good idea.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Don’t let your info feed the massive data collection.

NE coach Grabel has no class. What was that little hand slap?

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Catherine O'Hara, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ star and comedy legend, dies at 71 - People Nooooooo! Can this shitty year get any worse???

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Important perspective from Greenland.

More of this, please.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

This is not a SCIF, it's a blanket fort

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

There are a heck of a lot of people who need to be visited by three ghosts tonight.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, @robcrank68.bsky.social chose #Groups (groups of 4 or more birds & can be different species). I give you the Sandhills cranes in Bosque del Apache, NM.

This entire weekend

The holiday event showcases Ukrainian food, clothing, dance and music, along with several educational displays about the human toll of the Russia-Ukraine war.

#BirdOfTheDay #HeronsandEgrets with the alternative being #birdsandrocks any bird with a rock in the frame. Let’s see what I have: a green heron surveying the inner bay in Grand Cayman … from a lava rock shore.

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

Today I’m not birding - or even taking the pictures. Instead, I’m catching the joy I can with one of the joys of my life. Hoping you all may find moments like this.
