The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

The reason that there are a bunch of =, / and other weird punctuation in the Epstein files is because the DOJ printed out hard copies of the emails and used actual black tape to censor them, then scanned them back in using automated OCR, optical character recognition. It's not boomer typing.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

If you notice a woman sweating and flushed and you say to her, "It's a hot day!" and she replies that it's just a hot flush, don't ask her if it's because of menopause. She might answer that actually it's cancer-related, and then what will you say? The correct response is "Hot flushes suck!"

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Across the US, children & teens, stepped into the streets to confront the regime and ICE. In places, they were so young they required police escorts; in others, they stood their ground as MAGA extremists attempted to intimidate them.

So many birds visited my backyard today during the heatwave because I set out bird baths and a sprinkler to keep them cool. This was my favourite photo: the Spotted Dove is trying so hard to ignore the petulant baby Common Myna. Two feral birds, btw, but still fun #Birds to #Photograph.
A Spotted Dove sits with its back towards us. It's a rounded dove mostly grey, with a conspicuous black collar spotted with white. It's gazing off into the distance to the left of the photo. On the other side of the bird bath sits a baby Common Myna, old enough to fly (badly) but not old enough to act with any dignity when the weather is very hot. The myna is a dark brown bird with a darker head and a large open beak of bright yellow. Its head is tilted and it seems to be shouting at the dove for attention, but not getting any. It's also crouched cutely on the edge of the bird bath, resting its tummy on its pink toes. Because its wings are slightly held away from its body, it looks like it has its hands on its hips. It's giving cranky toddler for sure. Behind the bird bath is visible a paling fence with some green leaves.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

If you were writing a novel about an evil administration and two of their most-publicised victims were named Good and Pretti, your editor would call you out for too much heavy handed symbolism.

it's really good that Oracle bought TikTok, a business that only loses money, at a time when it took on $56bn+ in debt and $240bn in lease obligations for GPUs to rent to OpenAI, a company that will run out of money. This could all have the funniest ending ever

After all that time spent carefully trying to take pictures of Silvereyes yesterday at the Wetlands, today a whole flock of them moved into our front yard to eat some freshly ripe berries. Lovely to see them so close and accessible. #photography #AustralianBirds
A Silvereye perches amongst some tree leaves. It's a small mostly olive green bird with darker grey wings and a distinct white ring around its one visible eye. In the foreground is a small black berry (not a blackberry, though) that's the reason the Silvereyes are hanging around. Hopefully while they're here they'll find my birdbath and come back for a drink even after the berries are all gone.

Taking a bunch more photos for iNaturalist and making steady progress on my life list of bird species I've photographed. These were taken at my nearby wetlands. #photography #AustralianBirds
Four Royal Spoonbills feeding in a shallow pond. They're large pure white birds with long plumes on the back of their heads. They're named for their black, spoon-shaped bills which they're sweeping through the pond, looking for food, small insects and crustaceans. Their faces are naked, and solid black like their bills, except for bright yellow eyebrows. These birds arrived at 9am, after I'd already been at the pond for about two hours. They foraged in the Giralang Wetlands pond which has only been getting shallower as we go longer and longer into summer without rain. Hopefully it will refill soon and flush new life in the wetland. This small bird is a Silvereye, named for the bright white ring around its eyes. It has a yellowish-brown head and a buff chest. The wings and tail appear darker brown. It's perched in a native tree with sticks and leaves all around. This was by far the hardest work I did to get a photo today. There were groups of Silvereyes moving through trees in the wetlands, often right above my head. However they're very small and very fast, so I ended up with dozens of near miss photos where I couldn't focus fast enough or even find them in a tangle of foliage. Practice makes perfect though, and now I have them. Mwahaha. This is only the second White-faced Heron I've ever seen at the wetlands, and the other one I saw just as it flew away. It's a photo of a large, mostly middle grey bird, with long straight yellow legs and plumes draped over its back. The long neck leads to a pure white face and a long straight dark bill. The bird is bent over, focussed on the pond in front of it. There is a Grey Teal duck to the left of the image. Behind the Heron is the weedy bank of the pond with long grass. This tiny bird is a Weebill, named for its distinctively tiny bill. The bird is also very tiny, but is otherwise very plain. It is darker brown on its head and upper body, and buff underneath. It's perched on a stick against a pale blue sky. Another very hard bird to photograph, I had no idea what I'd photographed until I downloaded the image. So tiny, so quick.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.
