🚨👀🚨 File Under: Just how FAST (yet quietly) can I get dogs back into the house, then SPRINT upstairs for camera and back down and across yard for this shot! Fast enough! WHEW! @watchinthesky.bsky.social ONLY because you aren't visiting right now! #birds #becurious 🪶

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

We should make this a "Jimmy Kimmel" moment. It's so very IMPORTANT!!!

Note from my notebook (2017).

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

A Rare Encounter... Fall colours. Early morning. Magnus The Moose, getting up from a nap. Incredibly handsome and massive. An absolutely stunning beast. I was honoured to be in his presence. 🫎🍁📸🇨🇦 #AlgonquinPark #Moose #Mammals #Wildlife #Nature #WildlifePhotography #Photography #OntarioParks #Canada

I will be reading (and teaching) Ulysses again soon!

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

He's already sold his soul so it doesn't matter.

“Dozens of federal agents raiding an entire apartment building with kids in it just to see what they can find. It’s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I've seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,” says Chris Hayes. youtu.be/vOXOWAhFz0A?...

In the fall, some birds get confused and behave like it's springtime, probably because of day length. Anyway, there's a poem about it & this goes out to the mockingbird singing its fool head off in my backyard. And to all us olds who can still shake a tail feather christineelder.com/autumnal-rec...

The #nativeplants / blooms are really bringing the #invertes ! Our backyard Desert Willow is a Fall food source for these hornworms. This one is bigger than my biggest finger. They do like to hang like this after a meal. May be a Rustic sphinx moth caterpillar. Thread 🧵 1 of 3 or 4

Let’s stop pretending this is chaos. It isn’t. Project 2025 spelled out the plan to dismantle checks, seize control, and strip freedoms. Trump isn’t stumbling, he’s following the script.

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

Translation: “Here’s $8 billion worth of reasons to end Republican seats in blue states.” Thank you, Russell Vought. Incredible strategy.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet with a friendly wave. It's fun having these little cuties migrating through.

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Rest in peace Jane Goodall you made this world a better place

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.” (Continued in comments)

We’re heartbroken to learn that Dr Jane Goodall has passed away, aged 91. Dr Goodall was one of the true conservation giants of our time. Let’s honour her legacy by choosing to make a difference in the world - by protecting it. Thank you, Jane, for everything you did for our planet. 💚

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

A gnat about to become dinner for a Ruby-crowned Kinglet who is doing a big stretch.

@xnavychief.bsky.social I have to share! THIS is the Story!

I have assumed this for some time, but we are seeing it play out in real time.

"Hardscrabble joints, places where bars are called saloons or honky-tonks. Places that feel different, like the 21st century hasn’t quite happened to them yet. That’s because in a way, it hasn’t." Followed up with a historical materialist explanation of *why* it hasn't; god damn, Kaleb Horton!

This is the Kaleb Horton piece that deserved to make him the defining voice of today. He was an poet, a comic, and a cultural anthropologist who understood America on a soul-deep level. It's his 2016 road trip to the Constitution Party's election convention in Utah. web.archive.org/web/20160918...

This is very sad for us, but we need to find a new home for Dug because he is struggling in a house with small kids. If you want a smart, lovable hound who enjoys nose work and nose hugs, please let me know. home-home.org/pets/ae50a2b...

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

I know we are supposed to have empathy for Trump voters, not judge them, and welcome them in once they see the danger we face, but my god, I am filled with rage that anyone supports this absolutely monstrous act. How can these men sleep at night, face their own children? This is devastating.

You can have those other files, at this rate, in the year 2113.

If Gavin caves to tech lobbyists, that should be all the proof we need that he should not be our candidate, let alone president. And it wouldn't be the first time.

Sinclair will not air Jimmy Kimmel so here is how you can boycott Sinclair 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Worth remembering this when you hear Reform talking about swans, autism and ‘science never being settled’.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”
