Winter finally arrived. Erik is sure by rolling in the snow, he will be *Extra Erik* #dogs #bordercollies #DogsofBluesky #Dogsky

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Walking the dogs this afternoon and its 55° out in the Winter that Wasn't. ( Very reminiscent of the winter of 1976-77)

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Posting this photo to document the oddest and warmest winter I’ve ever seen here. Today, we are out walking on the Croy Creek road — miles past the Rock Creek turn off. It should be covered with snow in January. Skiing has been excellent on upper half of Baldy, so we’re rolling with it. #dogs.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

So-called federal agents standing in the street enforcing local ordinances about pedestrian in the roadway etc is a clue they want this violence. They are creating it. They are killing people to feed their angry supporters & outrage everyone else. That’s it. That’s their point

Roxy settled in for the night. #dogs

First day of skiing in the books. I think this is the start of my 62nd year of skiing. Ski resorts out West are hurting for snow and Sun Valley is no different. The only reason we are skiing is because of the man-made snow. #skiing

Three best friends that understood the assignment. Pose on a rock. Bonus points for lining themselves up nicely. Treats all around. #Idaho #BorderCollies #dogs

Almost everyone who touts the benefit of private healthcare is hoping to profit from private healthcare.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Oh this one is hitting me in all the feels. ❤️

With no snow on the ground yet, we are still training agility outside. Erik is loving it. Ears up and afterburners on as he soars down the dogwalk! #dogs #agility #bordercollies

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Morning.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

Swedish Deputy PM: Sweden needs to pick its friends wisely, and we are choosing Canada… So when we come to America, we come to Canada now.

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.

Out walking and we met a very handsome local fellow (a bull elk at a distance). We turned around and walked the opposite way. #Idaho #dogs

The small border collie always wins. Always! #dogs

The dogs have spoken

I can't stop myself. This is my last Sandwich Guy post!

The best one yet on the Sandwich Guy

Awesome

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

So many puns, and that's a wrap. 🥪

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Winter is coming! Partial view of the bowls on Baldy / Sun Valley ski resort #dogs #Idaho #skiing

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Ha ha ha - oh I know this well!!
