Clear sign of societal failure

Current* conditions near New Buffalo, MI:

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

An absolutely wonderful, versatile, powerful and powerfully funny actor who enlivened everything he was in, and a huge loss. I'm not going to say the word, but we're all thinking it in his honor. RIP Isiah Whitlock. deadline.com/2025/12/isia...

lol dude needs to get some birders in his group chat 🙄

in hindsight, this one was a little too birder-specific to make it into the New Yorker

Damn that is some good pelican action. Living their best pelican life. #birds

"One major question, going into 2026, is which party will speak for the Americans who abhor the incursions of AI into their lives and want to see its reach restricted. Another is whether widespread public hostility to [AI] even matters given all the money behind it." - @michellegoldberg.bsky.social

Ship traffic will be fun to watch. All the Great Lakes will likely have wave heights over 25 feet late tonight into late Monday night. The NWS in northern Michigan mentioned that the occasional hurricane force gust is possible on Lake Superior with top wave heights of 34 feet! #GreatLakes #weather

If you want to get a feel for the course, check out this article from the latest issue of Audubon Mag: www.audubon.org/magazine/bey... Or listen to this podcast interview from last spring: www.aba.org/09-10-the-po...

You will get a sentimental feeling

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Got to do a story about the origins of that park for Audubon a few years ago.

“Gantchev suffered from type 2 diabetes and told his wife no diet accommodations were made for him. She and Anna said the small amount of food that is given to people detained at North Lake was not enough for maintaining Gantchev's blood sugar levels.”

THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU

Put the Christ back in Christmas except for stuff that Christ would say we are canonically/biblically evil for doing

EVERY SINGLE THING TRUMP SAID IN HIS SPEECH WAS A LIE...including the money for US Troops.

Donald Trump is expected to announce tonight that he found a turtle in the backyard

"Marriage isn't for disabled people" is an utterly insane thing to say.

No war with Venezuela. Americans are exhausted by forever wars and attempts at regime change.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Being the director of the FBI and releasing a couples podcast while a mass shooter is on the loose is a wild choice

If you're in the Southeast you get winter Winter Wrens and summer Summer Tanagers. Up here I don't get SQUAT. But I love Winter Wrens anyway and wrote about them for @audubon.org www.audubon.org/magazine/its...

Alright folks going forward we're going to have a "no psychopaths as president" rule. I think that would help

What a loss for American music www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHC_...

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

I finished this drawing today: a hermit thrush. It’s one of my favourite local birds: they are a bit shy and sound like flutes in the trees. #Birds #SciArt

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

The “Michigan mountains” on full display this morning over the steamy lake, it’s -16F with the windchill

Oh this is a beaut. Perfect.

that ‘i love you so much’…someone should’ve had his ass arrested for it

When the eyeglasses come off, you know it's about to get serious.
