🦋 Pearl-bordered Fritillary sitting on top of Bugle - the sun had disappeared behind a cloud so I was fortunate that this one sat still while I managed to rattle off quite the few shots #pearl-bordered #fritillary #nature #butterflies #ukwildlife #aberdeenshire

This view of the paradox of tolerance has been useful to me to explain why I think it is important to be proactive in preventing spaces from becoming nazi bars The mocking "so much for the tolerant left" types and "oh so you call everyone who disagrees with you a nazi" types should not be tolerated

Concrete dust can cause silicosis, an incurable (and sometimes fatal) scarring of lung tissue.

I just love birds so much. And sunsets. And silhouettes. 😍 (Great and Snowy Egrets) #birds #SunsetAndSilhouettes #Silhouettes 🌿

Some expert-level trump trolling.

Of all of the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

Also, "one nation under God" was coined in the post-WWII era and only added to the pledge in 1954. It's younger than Donald Trump. Somebody wrote a book about this.

Ever seen a black-bellied whistling duck whistling? 🎶 #BirdOfTheDay #Cutie #MallardMonday #BlueSkyMonday #Photography #Birds #Ducks

I’m pretty sure there was MUCH MORE than confirming the US/Russia “bilateral partnership” under discussion in the felon’s call to Putin preceding the NATO Summit this week.

This is Mira. She's a Podenco Xarnego Valenciano. We're not even making that up. Very pretty and very rare. 14/10 would be an honor to pet (FB: Matilda Lindström)

The amazing Chryxus Arctic, a biennial butterfly which caterpillars take two years to mature, eating sedges and grasses. Thus the adults only fly on even years.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Cutie here's a matched pair of very young Ae'o just learning their way around Kealia Pond NWR. Staying close to the security rock LOL (turns out they needed it, a bit later a Black-crowned NH made a circle and they did hide behind that rock) #birds 🦉🌿📷

Gee, what a coincidence. Every startup suing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has ties to Peter Thiel’s network: • Valar Atomics — backed by current & former Palantir executives & Balaji • Deep Fission — backed by a Palantir co-founder • Last Energy — backed by a former Founders Fund partner. 1/

A raven 'teenager' following its parents around. At this age, they're capable of feeding themselves, but still scream for food as they fly around as a family learning how to be ravens. I admire their parents' patience. #birds

Grey Catbird has an announcement. I think it’s about chokecherries #birds 🌿

Jacob Helberg—who was an advisor at Peter Thiel’s Palantir before joining Trump’s State Department—recently criticized the European “digital sovereignty” movement, which advocates independence from US tech. He claims that proponents of the movement misunderstand the term “sovereignty”. Sure, Jan. 1/

Needless to say, some of the greatest anti-Communists were Social Democrats. Trump wouldn’t know since he never was an anti-Communist—he wanted to cut business deals with the Soviet Union and admired the brutal repression of the Chinese regime.

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

A Chief Justice who shields the powerful from accountability has forgotten his job. Remind Congress of theirs. 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

NATO tomorrow in Turkey... "Hide your children" As Erdogan will kiss Trump's ring and wants those F-35's fighter jets My thoughts are on Giorgia Meloni and this wannabe "restraining order" I hope she gives him hell

FIFA's own rules dictate that if a government tries to intervene in a disciplinary matter - that team is disqualified. Not happening to the USA though, despite trump making that phone call. Wonder why. 🤔 Fuck Trump. Fuck Infantino. Post anything here: interactink.vercel.app

A Vermillion Flycatcher, White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA. These cute "sit-and-wait" predators catch flying insects in mid-air and have adapted amazingly well to human-modified habitats like parks and golf courses #BirdoftheDay #Cutie #TheWaitingGame #NaturePhotography

Trump is loathsome, but this "Trump card" meme is sorta funny And FWIW the red card should have stayed in the ref's pocket.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

I expected Trump’s 4th of July thing to be a disaster but only a moderate, normal sized disaster. I didn’t expect screaming crowds, evacuations, and “Antifa changed the weather!” level disaster. It’s like the Keystone Cops and the Nazis had a baby. Benny Hill meets Mussolini.

An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves within us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, lies and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, empathy and truth.” The boy asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” “The one you feed.” A’ho🪶

The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.

These limpkins were adorable. They were shy and cautious but not quick to run or fly away. They had a gentle way about them and looked so curious. #BirdOfTheDay #Cutie #Photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #EricOlsonPhotography

Trump's 4th of July celebration is over, but the legal fallout is just beginning. This week: E. Jean Carroll, the Epstein Files, DOJ testing the limits of court orders & more. If you want the story behind the headlines, read Civil Discourse. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

“Since the attempt on his life, Trump has show [sic] no interest in investigating what really happened. He never mentions it, it’s as if it never happened, except when he tells us, he took a bullet for us.” trib.al/e5DsM2q

"I can do anything!"

Release all the Epstein files now!
