If the only way to retain power is to make it harder for folks to vote then maybe you should rethink your positions.

The SAVE act is one of the most cunning attempts at voter suppression I have ever seen. They know women are less likely to vote for the GOP, and they found a way to make most married women have to pay to vote.

This tennis ball, aka American Goldfinch, would like a word with the groundhog about that 6 more weeks of winter thing. #floof 🪶

One of the under-stated signs that this is all a bubble and even the players know it is that they’re rushing to build data centres in places that make zero sense if you actually plan on operating a data centre. The Paluxy watershed just does not have the water supply, this is all smash-and-grab.

Indigenous meaning the people who were Americans long before Columbus even set foot on a ship.
npr.org NPR @npr.org · 14h
Indigenous communities nationwide are increasingly reporting encounters with immigration agents, including detention — despite them being U.S. citizens and members of sovereign tribal nations.
Indigenous communities raise concerns over heightened ICE actions across the country
As immigration enforcement expands nationwide, Native families say increased ICE activity is creating fear in their communities, even among U.S. citizens and tribal members.

I’m going to keep sharing this PSA: although the MMR is usually given at 12 and 18 months, your baby can get a first dose as early as 6 months. They will still need the other two doses, because immunity doesn’t stick at that age, and insurance may not cover it. But it’s protection.

#BirdOfTheDay #WinterSurvivors so grateful these friends hang in there with me all Winter☺️
a Dark-eyed Junco on a snow covered branch. The bird is gray with a white chest, a pink beak and black feet. The bird is covered with snow. A Magpie on the snow with two unshelled peanuts nearby. The bird has a black chest, a white body and blueish tail feathers. It is very cold and the Magpie has frost on it's face. A close-up of a Blue Jay with snow in the air and on the bird. The blue head feathers are raised. The bird has a white face with black on the cheeks and around the eyes. Two Redpolls in the air battling over a seed bell which is visible in the lower right corner. Snow is falling around them.

This is the same spot in my neighborhood in October. I like this one little tree right next to the path and keep getting shots of it

🌿
A path leads away from the camera through plants and trees on either side. There are green, yellow and brown leaves on the trees and some on the path.

Oh, to be a fat Grizzly lazily floating downstream past schools of delicious sashimi.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Two years ago today there were bees and flowers out already in Pennsylvania! Today was gray, wet and cold with lots of snow still on the ground so this seems impossible.

I was trying to rescue this photo from shade and terrible lighting but things went very wrong. However I love the way this chickadee is looking down at me so I'm going with it

#birds 🌿 #WorstBirdPic #OrMoreLikeWorstBackgroundPic
A fluffy small bird looks down at the camera. The background is a very unnatural looking blue sky and weird light making it look kind of trippy.

I heard a Red-winged Blackbird calling yesterday! I thought the flock was all grackles but then I heard a couple blackbirds doing the beginnings of their territorial call. Just warming up for now. But that means spring is coming!!

A black bird perches at the very top of a tree against a bright blue sky. It has a bit of red and yellow on its shoulder.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

This was posted on reddit 1 day ago. It has been known that "AIs" "make up" data or "hallucinates" all the fucking time. Who ever is running that company is out of touch with reality. Just like every AI bro out there.

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

🐍Western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox).

Max size 213 cm (7'), though this is unusual. Males are larger than females.

Found in northern Mexico and southwestern USA.

Killed for food, skin and entertainment.

Considered Least Concern by the IUCN.

📷by sdnat01 on Pixabay
A grey and brown snake is partly curled up on the ground. On a lighter ground colour, brown blotches can be seen along its entire body. The tip of the tail (the rattle) is held in a vertical position. The part of the tail just in front of the rattle is whitish with black bands. The ground is reddish with lots of white and grey pebbles. The snake is looking almost directly at the camera.
