After months of increasing grocery prices, Donald Trump is finally admitting he was wrong.

Americans are literally paying the price for Trump's mistakes.

The Northern Lights flexi cubes are some of my favorites! These make an amazing sound as you fiddle with them, and the colors are beautiful! (Also each cube gradient starts & stops in a different place, so you'll get a unique look!)

A flexible cube made out of 144 small tall pillars that can slide against each other to make the cube flexible! This one is called Northern Lights. The Northern Lights flexi cube is a gradient that starts with pale green, goes to darker green, then light blue, dark blue, dark pink, light pink, and back to pale green.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

At #COP30, we are advocating for the species most harmed by fossil-fueled #ClimateChange.

Emperor penguins, Loggerheads, and koalas may seem different, but they face the same threat: rising temperatures.

An emperor penguin stands on flat, bright white ground covered in snow or ice. A koala sits in the fork between two tree branches, hugging one of the branches. It appears to be asleep. Two loggerhead hatchlings make their way across sand strewn with seaweed, headed in the same direction.

Big news: Indiana Republicans signal they still do not have the votes to re-gerrymander the state, and that the Senate won't convene the Senate after all in December.

Getting 1-2 seats out of Indiana was central to the GOP's redistricting-war math.

Indiana redistricting push likely dead despite White House pressure
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

The “What’s this Bird?” Facebook group is mostly photos of common birds that beginners are struggling to identify (and that’s great! a good and useful function)

And then every once in awhile it’s a mega rarity, like some wagtail species in Florida. We love to see it.
Screenshot of a post by Glenn Mitchell in the Facebook group What’s this Bird? American Birding Association (ABA). The caption says “Brevard County, Florida. ID assistance and reasoning would be appreciated. Thanks.” Along with four photos of a small thin gray bird with long legs and tail walking on the ground near some grass. It has darker wings and white stripes around the face and eyes, with white on the belly. It is some species of Eurasian wagtail and folks are racing out there to determine which one.

This is Calappa, the same crab that I made a pumpkin of (next skeet) and one of bluesky's favorite crabs. Not only does it run funny, it has an adorable face and its claws are specialized like a can opener for snails 🦀🦑

I'm going with the alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme today of #posts - a magnificent Turkey Vulture perched on a fence post. His wing span was more than 6 feet! I always think of them as being black but the sun really shows off the color variations in his feathers.
#birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Large vulture perched on a fence post, with his wings fully extended. His feathers are a mixture of black and brown, and his head has a red mask or "snood" over the beak.

Donald Trump carried Pennsylvania’s Bucks County in 2024. Last week, the Republican sheriff who’d partnered with ICE to aid deportations lost his reelection bid to Democrat Danny Ceisler.
