One more Bird Nerd post today: More Golden-Crowned Kinglets AND a #PileatedWoodpecker! #Birds #BirdSky #WildlifePhotography

A female Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) in the park. They're really tiny — about 3.5 inches long in total — but colorful and chatty! #BirdSky #WildlifePhotography #Birds #GoldenCrownedKinglet

also TNC pushes him on the "let's abandon abortion rights" thing and says, abortion rights are popular in red states, and Klein's response is, "well it was just an example I hadn't really thought about it." and TNC says, maybe you owe vulnerable people better than that.

someone on here the other day said it feels like we’re watching a baseball game where one team decides every inning to not take their turn at bat

Why are you so bad at this

Lots of folks want to have a gotcha, "did you know: America has always had corruption!" No shit. But did you know: a huge reason millions of people came to this country was because it was *better* at things like the rule of law and not being openly corrupt. For real. bsky.app/profile/anil...

Hate to do this but I only had two orders this month and I'm overdrawn so if you could boost or check out my shop that'd be a great help! thanks anaisfae.art/shop/

"War ravaged Portland" is chock-a-block with interesting old cars, so when I'm there and have time, I like to walk around and see what I find. I didn't have much time for myself there this week, but I did see these excellent land yachts. #WarRavagedPortland #WeirdCarBS #KeepPortlandWeird #PDX

Here's "War ravaged" Portland on Monday afternoon. Note the food trucks, pretty houses and ordinary people on the street, all hallmarks of a "War zone."

Meta could be the world's largest patron of the arts. They could pay millions of artists a living wage to make non-AI art that would make their platform more beautiful and compelling to users. But they just… won't.

until there's a Republican congress and a Democratic president, in which case it will suddenly be very important. the country cannot function as a real democracy with corrupt, partisan serial liars controlling the Supreme Court; it has to be the first priority of a new administration.

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

This heckin' horse was sure I was going to steal his beloved Land Cruiser. They make quite a pair, though. (Klickitat County, WA, 2025) #WeirdCarBS

Elizabeth is 100% correct, and I have been one of the people struggling mightily not to prevent eye-rolling every 30 seconds.

Putting this disclaimer before an angry boy editorial calling for violence in the streets is so so so funny to me. Literally undermines the piece entirely.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Once again, splashy headlines reporting that the administration is "lowering" tariffs, when in fact the tariffs are orders of magnitude higher than historical norms that were in place UNTIL APRIL, are misleading.

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

We are about to get our asses walloped in the most predictable, preventable economic realignment in a century.

How it's going / How it started

Please do not tell small artists and nonprofits based in the US that you are thinking about abstaining from buying stuff from us because of the Trump administration. We also do not like that guy! You can just...not tell us! It feels like being kicked when we're already down, ya know?

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

does anyone in the democrat party mainstream have any message to trans people about how we belong anywhere in this country or does the tent big enough for chuck schumer's bailey family somehow not contain space for one of the smallest and most embattled minority groups in america

on the contrary, these kind philanthropists have turned useless garbage into art... Tesla should pay them

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

And remember, we "didn't have money" for the very affordable aid programs that helped preserve U.S. influence overseas and saved millions of lives, but we do have money ey for Argentina's self-induced fiscal crisis.

I was told foreign aid is bad

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Goodnight, Portland. #WeirdCarBS

One year ago, my little brother died. The cause of death was cancer, but the real cause of death were the toxic burn pits he served by in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US government was very good to us. But all that has changed. Today, the government isn’t helping sick troops, it’s killing them. 1/x

The least - the absolute least - we should expect from our government is that it will take care of the heroes who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the rest of us, whether they’re veterans, first responders, or anyone else who makes a sacrifice most of us would not for the greater good. 4/x

Same energy.

Pete with the bad bets again. Go back to Indiana, my guy, this ain't your show.

fuck off back to indiana, man

For those in the back… HOUSING FIRST WORKS

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

okay cool kimmel got his show back can GFM get her DC comics run back now
