Surprisingly accurate photo of a Party Pooper (Sharp-shinned Hawk) launching itself toward the bird feeder. The blur is real 😂 #birds #worstbirdpic

This stunning moth was an exciting new visitor to our Perth Hills moth light last night.

These are usually seen in the far north in WA, so this guy is ~2,000km off course! Wondering if the recent cyclone might be responsible.

Earnestly: post-pandemic silo-ed life + delivery app proliferation means a lot of people have new touchpoints with the rest of society where they get to feel, and behave, like bosses.
That a lot of the story of 2024 is the American *consumer* class going Kalecki is really important and something we need to deal with; instead of pretending something more convenient happened.

The next Democratic President needs to make every speech they give into full tilt belt-tightening austerity rhetoric while at the same time continuing Biden-esque monetary policy, I guarantee you the voters are too stupid to notice.

Folks like to talk about how Norman Rockwell was more liberal than we remember, but a big part of that is that he represented a broad American consensus that was more liberal than we remember.

The idea that Americans haven't died—in huge numbers—specifically to defend multiculturalism is horseshit.

"Economic anxiety" as an explanation for Trumpism is no more true when AOC says it in left-coded language than when the NYT says it in centrist-coded language.
