I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣
The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered.
And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Last few years is crazy work. Flint’s water crisis, poisoned water for the sake of AI, the response to Hurricane Katrina are all political violence.
When using “violence” in this way, it is not singled out to the physical definition. No matter how many middle men you add, violence is violence.

I think it’s totally consistent with an information environment in which attention, not the ballot, gets treated as the purest representation of the public will.
It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Why is this thing so damn cute?
YAAAAY!
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!
Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

Here's my current feelings about Charlie Kirk: he'll get very slightly more empathy from me than he gave to other people, because I'm simply not capable of the level of sociopathy he showed.

Today is yet another sad day for America.
Our political landscape filled with hate instead of love and humanity and it must change. It cannot go on like this, it is unsustainable. 1/3

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news.
there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago.
Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks.
If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.
