I swear to God, Trump acts drunk in this video

Jeezus! His makeup is full "Jaundice Mode" now. Get that man a liver transplant!

Venezuela, then Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland? We're just full-on British Empire now, taking whatever we want to enrich our upper class. We even have the King to go with it. Ugh.

Sorry, best I can do is the Western Grebe Baby Taxi Service. 🐣 🪶

Best CBC ever! Eastern Screech Owl!!! #birding #cbc

Watching the news, and even NBC is positively GIDDY with this.

Today is our final day of the Christmas Bird Count (Calmes Neck Sector along the Appalachian Trail). Hoping to see a few good birds, especially owls and raptors, if I'm lucky. #birding #cbc

Scolding my 80 year old mother for being racist is not how I wanted to end 2025.

2025 ends with a PLETHORA of turkey vultures (and some black) all around my house. We must have 40 living in the pines nearby, and every morning they move to the sycamore and my roof to warm their bones in the sunshine. Yesterday, more than 200 flew over. #birds #turkeyVultures #birding

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

We have always been a violent nation.

Congrats on a successful day. These are one of the darlings in my area. Established breeders. Black throated magpie jay. This was terrible light in the fog but they are still gorgeous and hard to look away from. Vocal and smart.

Great day of #birding today for the Christmas Bird Count! 46 species tallied so far, but we're still counting. #CBC

A few years ago, through luck and vibes, I managed to produce this blue colored bean variety. This was an early step in trying to answer the question, [paraphrased] "Why isn't blue as common as red in beans, even though they're both anthocyanins and the plant has the genes for both?"

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Second best activity to #birding is playing Wingspan™ with the family!

I hope your Christmas was as good as this beef roast my son made today. OMG it was so good.

This is the face of someone who would much rather poop on the warm carpet than go out on the damp cold grass, thankyouverymuch, but he has been thwarted by Grampy.

Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is for the Oxford comma to be cherished, loved, and respected.

Happy Solstice to all you wacky pagans out there. 🌑🌲

What a wonderful human being Michael Sheen is.

Got one. 🪶

Precisely that--and nobody says "you must only drink this punch." Even in the 18th century there was always wine on the table, too. But the punch was delicious and sneakily potent and served as a kind of secular communion which all could share. If that doesn't appeal to you, more for the rest of us.

Holiday time means... Coquito! #puertorico #feliznavidad 🇵🇷🎄

Christmas Dad Joke.... 3 guys die in a car crash and appear before St Peter. St. Peter: To enter these gates I need you to show me something festive. Guy 1: *shakes car keys* they are like bells. St Peter: You may enter. Guy 2: *pulls out zippo and lights it* it's like a candle. 1/

Happy birthday to this butterbean! Otto the pug is SIX today! 🥰🥰

One of my favorite birds, a spark bird. I mean, they're magnificent! And as big as CROWS!

Partners at the International Crane Foundation and The Conservation Fund have secured permanent protection of more than 3,300 acres of high-priority wintering habitat for whooping cranes near Port Aransas, Texas.

So nice that a fan of our company showed up at an event tonight and gifted me some bird socks! I love them. And every bird is accurate and regionally appropriate!

On this day in 1989, The Simpsons officially premiered as its own series so here’s a short thread of language facts relating to the show, starting with this… In the Spanish version of The Simpsons, Bart’s “eat my shorts” catchphrase is changed to multiplícate por cero (“multiply yourself by zero”).

Not a great photo, but to see 10 Eastern Meadowlarks in a tree is really special. This species is in decline, so it was exciting to see them yesterday in our CBC. Ten Eastern Meadowlarks = the owner of this property is doing *everything* right with her pasture management. #birding #birds 🪶

It’s been long enough that I couldn’t ID that Bird call. I also couldn’t find it but … the Brown Creepers have arrived. #birds

I love birds so much. Look at this face #birds 🌿

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar I spotted this lovely Great Horned Owl while driving, pulled over & used the railing on a bridge to steady my camera. You can see the sunrise in its eyes… 🪶 1/80, f/6.3, ISO 1000

It's -5F(-20C) today. I might pass on going out today with the weather advisory. So, here's a colorful winter photo for #ArtAdventCalendar from 2024. #birds #Red-headedWoodpecker
