Pack it in everyone. We have our #2026MMM Champion.

If you buy my book I promise to use most of the proceeds to buy more lizards

Acceptable

A rim walk. Thought you would appreciate @natickbobcat.bsky.social

Hrrrmph

WHY AM I NOT ON THE COVER, JASON?!

Morning Greetings from this Urban Yote

It's so cold in Boston right now that packs of coyotes are able to cross the water today. 📸: @jcass35

It may be frigid in the Valley, but it's always warm in the FLC. In honor of libraries everywhere get ready for #2026MMM by playing the game before the game! Check the McKinney #bcvaMMM board or official MMM sites (link in bio) for regular clues to upcoming combatants.

NPR covering the Olympic mascots who are stoats! This is clearly an attempt to win over the coveted #2026MMM crowd (though oddly NPR missed the #StoatsAsMeasurement metric....) www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...

So a Rhino vs an Audi A3? I’m taking the Rhino. #2026MMM

Maybe 9,780,316,585,835 is the number of figs consumed annually by frugivores in North America, including humans. @radiationmouth.bsky.social is probably off verifying the total. #2026MMM

Hmmm… #2026MMM

As per always on this most holy of mammal holidays, Groundhog's Day, March Mammal Madness launches our annual tournament page! #2026MMM @mmmletsgo.bsky.social libguides.asu.edu/MarchMammalM...

Bright sunshiny day in the great metrowest suburban jungle. Groundhog saw his shadow. Then he saw mine. Then the screen went black.

Is a Cordyceps mind-controlled ant considered vegan? Discuss.

Gwen…

#Bobcat video no. 3 for the week. A shorty, but goody. Caught on #cameratrap.

Smells Like Teen Spirit

I'm going to bombard you with #bobcat videos all week, since I haven't been able to keep up. Remember the bob who scented the pile? (I know we have a M & F). This one smelled the scent: same stink-face all my cats have made when they smell something they like or dislike.

Trust me when I say this trail cam scene looks like it is out of a Wes Anderson movie Lynx link in replies cc: @natickbobcat.bsky.social

New column today: zeteo.com/p/trump-us-r...

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal: “No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle. “What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.” Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

You want to know how angry I am right now? I’m not even going to threaten to eat a squirrel because we’re on the same side of [waves vaguely] all this

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Donald Trump is a lying weasel dicked motherfucker That is all

Please support the wife and son of Renee Good as they grapple with the devastating loss of their wife and mother. gofund.me/9e987aead

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

Stay very still and the Bass Pro mascot won't hurt you, @natickbobcat.bsky.social

Sometimes I think about how for a moment, columnists in both the NYT and WSJ kept mentioning me and what I’ve realized about this is that it’s proof those columnists don’t write for the majority of subscribers, because those people don’t know who the fuck I am This was weird in-group axe grinding

“‘In evidence-based policy, you gather data and then make a decision,’ [Jake] Scott said. ‘This is the reverse. CDC made the policy decision and then funded research to back it up. When you commission research after making a decision, you're not looking for answers—you're looking for validation.’”

OTD ...earlier this AM! First a big male bobcat, then a mom & 2 kittens (composite of 3 images for optimal positions) at the old dam. [Keep your kids safe @natickbobcat.bsky.social] 🦊🐱 ❄️🧊 #trailcam #cameratrap #NewEnglandWildlife #MAwildlife #photooftheday #LynxRufus #Reconyx

Hrrm, gonna have to have some words with my kid. Sneaking out of the house at 2:30 am… Teenagers, amirite?

Man, isn’t it the worst when you go to check the backyard cams and the thumbnail looks cool but then when you watch the video it’s just one of the kids walking by?

Hey @natickbobcat.bsky.social, is this a housekitty in our yard? Or...bobcat?

Every time a young person dies in a school shooting a Heritage Institute intern gets their pocket square

I see straight men are horrified at the accuracy of the gay sex scenes in Heated Rivalry. That's right honey, they should only take place in poorly lit parking lots in cars or in the woods like you're used to w your Grindr hookups at Republican conventions 😘

“Drunk Octopus Wants To Fight You” hooks are the best hooks.
