Me: It is amazing that birds can build nests like they do. I have opposable thumbs and I could never construct, say, an oriole nest!
Daughter: They have built-in tweezers and a lot of free time.

Dung beetles know where they want to go. They roll, push or shove their dung ball & every few seconds they stop pushing to climb on top of the ball to make sure they are going in the right direction. This dung beetle male is just climbing down after a look around.

Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.
Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

I suspect @radiofreetom.bsky.social would appreciate Teri's analysis.

They are not, you know, actually sincerely against showing contempt for America or its values or its peoples. That’s the essence of their movement. What does MAGA mean other than America is no longer great? No, the demand for obeisance is only directed at certain people.
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Very cool and fascinating!
I soon understood that she was preparing her burrow for something, as she removed sand
she grabbed little "buckets" of sand with her first legs (later you'll see the remarkable sand baskets), discarding into the nearby desert ... looks like a load of laundry
she did this again & again
