After the Watergate Scandal, the Department of Justice installed safeguards to ensure the DOJ remained a “neutral zone” from the politics of the White House... Now, DOJ HQ in Washington features a banner of Donald Trump in a symbolic blow to the agency’s independence. trib.al/m6YK7Jd

These threads are always a joy to read!

THREAD. Some excellent pigs I have met on walks in the British countryside. You will find the caption to each photo in the alt text.

Dans les Epstein files, on apprend qu'il y a aussi des corps de jeunes filles enterrées et que le FBI a préféré ne pas trop enquêter

Per @robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BranchBirds, any bird on a branch, the Alt theme is #Robins, any Robin will do. #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #photography #birds

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

This fluffy jumper is a white ermine, also known as a stoat. In winter, it turns snow-white to survive. ❄️ 📹 cocoaandclues | IG

17 Feb 1945 // Corvette HMS Bluebell was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U.711 off Murmansk. She exploded and sank within 30 seconds of being struck. 3 men of her 90 crew were picked up but 2 died shortly after being rescued. (Imperial War Museum image: FL 2384) #RoyalNavy #WW2

Was lacking inspiration this morning picking out a photo to post, so I went outside with my camera instead. Captured this dude #GatheringFood for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today. 😎 #Photography #Birds #Anhinga #Fishing

My life in a nutshell

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

Condemned as a total loss, HMS Lark was deliberately run aground in Kola Bay, stripped of stores and equipment, and abandoned. Some reports say that she was salvaged by the Russians and saw service in the Soviet Navy after the war, but these are unconfirmed.[2/2] #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory

17 Feb 1945 // Sloop HMS Lark was torpedoed by German submarine U.968 off Murmansk, killing three men and wrecking her stern and propellers. Prompt damage control kept her afloat and she was taken in tow, but the damage was too severe for her to be salvageable. (Imperial War Museum: FL 9968) [1/2]

Once again, the FCC is coming after Colbert. This time they're refusing to allow CBS to air an interview of James Talarico, a Dem Senate candidate from Texas. So we all know what to do, right?

Yay! Boycott Amazon! And keep on reading, cos it’s subversive!

#CollectingFood is the #BirdOfTheDay theme today. I watched this great blue heron tackle this huge carp for about 20 minutes. There were several times where the fish was dropped into the water only to be caught again. Now, THAT’S a MEAL! #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature

Looks like we already have more concentration camps than Germany circa 1940. slate.trib.al/wfgeJk6

it’s always disappointing when i think i’ve found a good picture to caption but it doesn’t bear fruit

I've got a nice seagull from yesterday. I'll post it hopefully later today.

Pardon j’ai un peu honte mais je n’ai pas résisté à prendre en photo sa tête de « MA VENGEANCE SERA TERRIBLE GRANDE SAUCISSE » alors qu’en vrai elle est tellement mignonne et pas rancunière qu’elle ne boudera pas plus de 5 minutes en rentrant 😂 (Elle va très bien, vaccinée, le véto est ravi d’elle)

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders. Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond. Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

The cars being here don't all mean they will be included, just that they have a high chance of being featured. There are many things about the book creating process that I still don't know or even investigated about. I might need to crowdfund if I want to self publish, so that's an option too.

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

Vibrating!!!!! The cozy card game "My Book Nook" I illustrated is now at Barnes & Noble and other stores that stock Kingdom of Threads merch!!!! Screammnms with excite! Designed by Carl & Doug who were awesome to work with!

Weekend is over, 1410 to go, any millionaires in chat?

#OnThisDay, 16th February 2016, our staff and volunteers switched their uniforms for Tudor outfits for two weeks as we filmed the projections you see on the Mary Rose. Maybe you might recognise a few on your next visit? See more of the filming - youtu.be/GXvLGRbxRGE?...

above and beyond with research and consultations to make sure our special girl is always happy and getting the best care and all the support she needs. If you are in Chittenden County, VT I highly reccomend Affectionately Cats. I've gone there for 25+ years. www.affectionatelycats.com

They're both doing very well. Francie has been having some issues but they are not horrible at all - just lifelong, somewhat unpredictable annoyances she has to deal with because she has one billion allergies and she's also immunocompromised. Our vet is a champ though and always goes (con't)

People are requesting more Marcel and Francie so here are a couple more recent pics! The one of Francie showing off her magnificent tufted beans was just yesterday. 🫘

Look at this gorgeous demon! 🖤🪶

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity www.axios.com/local/boulde...
