Not bad for a city of 300K. I was glad to be there, and glad that one of my teens wanted to come. No matter how this ugly chapter of US history gets, I want my children to know that I stood up for what is right. #Pittsburgh #NoKings #TrumpIsAJagoff www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh...

No fucking shit... www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/p...

Can you imagine the outrage from Republicans if Obama had done this in 2013? I'd bet that even the Dems would have been scratching their heads thinking this is dumb. For Trump it's just another insane headline normalized by all the other even more insane headlines. 🙄 www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/10/...

The #Mormon church just filed a transphobic amicus brief arguing that making transgender a protected class would chill religious freedom. My thoughts? If you don't want to be thought of as bigots, don't be so fucking bigoted. Shit like this is exactly why I'm proud to be #exmormon.

What the actual fuck? I'm so embarrassed for my country. youtu.be/WjsWxxOpnYs?...

I was not prepared for this episode on my commute this morning. This is so fucked up. I for one will be finding a way to donate. www.npr.org/2025/09/20/n...

It's annoying how good the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is. Someone at work noticed my foot tapping to the beat, asked what I was listening to, and I had to fess up. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Dr...

When I die, I hope that when people describe what I did and said, other folks won't jump in and say they're speaking ill of the dead. Let it be stuff like "weirdly obsessed with birds" or "had an odd sense of humor" and not "espoused views so vile they can't be quoted in print media."

I just heard someone unironically refer to a non-ebike as an "acoustic bike" and I'm not okay. 🥴

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Oh! Now do the same for America! www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Spotify's AI DJ just told me it was "proud" of my listening preferences. What does that even mean??

A tufted titmouse playing peekaboo. Very cute. #birds 🪶

Because of travel and other stuff I haven't been on the bike in a month and a half. It's astounding how much atrophies in such a short time. My legs are jello! 😵

If this guy can ask for $1 trillion, can the rest of us get something that just keeps up with inflation? Probably not, because we're in the second gilded age. 🙄 www.reuters.com/business/aut...

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Solidarity is the weapon bosses fear the most youtube.com/shorts/Rke9d...

The CEO of my company made 100x more in a year than I hope to save up over my entire career, and yet he treats us (the people who made him rich) like we're expendable commodities rather than like people. This is why we need unions. #SolidarityForever #UnionStrong #LaborDay

This isn't the greatest shot of a kingfisher ever, but I love kingfishers, and this was my one chance to see one and I got the shot! Taken two weeks ago on the shore of Lac Inferieur while exploring the Bois de Boulogne in Paris #birds 🪶

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Here, fixed it.

CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. addressed the 80th CWA Convention this week! When we fight, we win! Watch the full speech at: cwa.org/80conventionremarks

"Blue Oval SK workers' campaign to join the UAW is about winning safe working conditions, a voice on the job, and affordable health care. But the vote is also a huge opportunity for every working-class Kentuckian across the state." @kentuckylantern.com kentuckylantern.com/2025/08/06/u...

This is in fact, 100% completely factually true. It's a wonder how far technology has come.

What. The. Fuck.

New life lister! Too bad I didn't actually see the male she was calling out to. #birds 🪶

Nice! #solidarity

Ultimately, this is the kind of leader we need in this country.

Anyway if you banged out this dumb fucking story while running out the door for the holiday weekend, in league with racist criminals, because you were worried about getting "scooped" by Chris Rufo, what you're telling the world is that you CONSIDER YOURSELVES TO BE IN THE SAME BUSINESS AS CHRIS RUFO

This is great, but who the fuck is voting for Cuomo? This is the guy who killed a bunch of people in nursing homes, gave a billion dollars to Elon for empty promises of solar, and cost the city millions in legal fees before he finally resigned in shame due to rampant sexual assault. Wild.

The photo isn't great since he insisted on staying so high up in the canopy, but this Scarlet Tanager is one of THREE life listers I got today. Woo! #birds 🪶

"Watch closely while I show you how to find dinner!" It was super fun to watch this red-bellied woodpecker interact with its two fledglings. It was also hilarious when one fledgling tried to peck and straight up just fell off the tree before flying off. 🤣 #birds 🪶

I see many clips of people who regret voting for TACO because they have been hurt. That’s what it takes for the empathy-free to learn anything. But I am always mystified by never asking the follow up question: WHY DID YOU BELIEVE HIM? No one asks that question. To me it seems so fundamental

Any company posting record profits should be passing those gains on to the worker that made those gains possible, not fucking them over. #unionstrong #solidarity www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

We need more politicians like this

Trump is a wannabe dictator.

This is hilarious 😂

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

this is the only king I recognize

They’re doing the meme.

Un-fuckin-believable. Who would have thought??

What a messy eater! I watched this guy go to town until there was nothing left on the stalk! #birds 🪶

This Barn Swallow is pretty freaking adorable if you ask me. #birds 🪶

What in the #Pittsburgh hell is this? Apparently they were "on sale" so we "had to try them" or something... I'll report back later on this monstrosity.

Look at that cutie! Spotted near Shoreline Lake in East Palo Alto while on a work trip. Was cramming a camera into my carry-on worth it? I'd say so. #birds 🪶

It was early morning and arguably the sun was in the wrong direction, but I rather like how this shot turned out! #birds 🪶

Traveling for work and got this new life lister! #birds 🪶

I went out looking for warblers for my life list and got four new additions! They're rather uncooperative subjects for photography though - not like this cute little guy. #birds 🪶
