Susan Collins is the first name springing to my mind if I hear „concerned“. It's basically her middle name.
This ad should concern Susan Collins.

It’s mind numbing stupid.

I’m wondering why the US market is fundamental for profit, though. Is it because they can ask for any price they want?
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

It's not so much that the government itself has used that information.

State actors like Russia, Israel, and private actors have used that information to wield unchecked power over the US.

Nonetheless:

Removing everybody implicated in the Epstein Files is indeed the key to take your country back.
🎩 Our government’s been using Epstein’s blackmail information for decades

I believe it’s one of the main reasons we can’t have a functioning government

Removing everyone implicated in the Epstein files is the key to taking our country back

We need to rip these people out of power!

@robcrank68.bsky.social picked the day's #BirdOfTheDay theme: #DivingForFood it is.

I'm going with a rare winter guest we have in the bigger lakes here, the velvet scoter.

They tend to be out on the lake where they feed mostly on molluscs in depths of 20-30m.

Of course @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social knows the answer to this question. Fox is just the Dear Leaders propaganda channel.
Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

It would be more funny if these evil people wouldn’t protect child sex trafficking operations and bury democracy and the rule of law.

@alan678.bsky.social picked #BirdOfTheDay theme #Birds&Bugs today.

This is one of my favorite yellow wagtail picts, taken on a very early June morning shortly after sunrise

Pretty disturbing, not just about Brexit, but about the people profiting from chaos, Ukraine, and the oligarchs.

Rob’s @robcrank68.bsky.social themes for #BirdOfTheDay are #WaterBirds and the Alt theme is #Blue, so I'm trying to fulfill both with a male tufty, which at least has a bit of a sky blue beak.

That’s why totalitarism is always bad leadership, without exceptions.

The 🍊💩🤡 admin is just another example.

@alan678.bsky.social also picked a nice alt theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay, i.e. #Urban

Lesser kestrels have some colonies in Urban areas, this one is a male from the small colony in the Plaza de toros in Trujillo.

@alan678.bsky.social picked #OddCouples for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, and here we have one.

These two Calidris were traveling in the same flock together over days, so I guess it's ok to call them an odd couple.

Well, the last sentence of the linked article could really send shivers down your spine:

“the thought of programmers deploying software they’ve never personally verified is a real concern.”

This will become the new normal.
Today in bad tech journalism: "AI agents" generating a C compiler.

They didn't though. They created a piece of it that didn't work properly (because LLMs are trained on a lot of C compiler code).

@robcrank68.bsky.social picked #BirdOfTheDay themes for today: #StareDown, and the Alt theme is #Gulls, so I'm aiming for a double feature.

@alan678.bsky.social posted #posted as today's #BirdOfTheDay

As I'm often photographing out of the car, this leaves me abundant choice.

Here we have a yellow wagtail, a redshank, a godwit and a snipe from one location in the north of Germany

I'm having a lazy weekend, so I show another Merganser with chicks.

Que suprise…
Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.

‪@alan678.bsky.social set #birds&berries for today's #BirdOfTheDay. As I'm awfully short on berries, today I have to go with the alt topic #backlitbeauty

This merganser carrying his young was captured against the sun at dawn at lake Innaren in Sweden.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Yep.

Or if you distribute his wealth equally over all people on earth, it would be more than 100$ per person.
If you gave someone $1 million every day since the birth of Jesus Christ, they'd have about $741 billion.

But that's still less than Elon Musk, who's currently worth $841 billion, according to Forbes.

@robcrank68.bsky.social picked #Pigeons&Doves for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.

My most beautiful turtle dove must do. It's a pity that they are still heavily hunted, especially in Malta 🪶
