Bird photography tips, an oldie that is hopefully useful for spring migration right now.

A comic called Bird Photography tips. A good bird photo shows a cape may warbler perched on a branch, with excellent lighting, subject in focus, and field marks clearly visible. A great bird photo shows the warbler in mid hop, labeled with peerless athleticism, levitation??, powerful. An excellent bird photo shows a little round warbler facing the camera, labeled borb, round, and a good bird. An exceptional bird photo shows the bird zooming forward mid flight, labeled nyooooom.

Quest 64 Official

@quest64official.bsky.social

The "thank you for changing my life" meme
But the right hand side of the meme is a copy of quest 64 that says "drops you in with no tutorial beats your ass and then refuses to save without controller pak"

Quest 64 Official

@quest64official.bsky.social

Here's a long winded story about something very few people care about but it is personal to me, and it came to a happy conclusion yesterday!

Famously (if you follow Quest 64) there are no strategy guides other than the Prima ones.

Last year I found this guide, obviously unauthorized cover art.

It would honestly be pretty amazing if Roko's Basilisk didn't care about being brought into being, but only cared about politeness.

Coincidentally yesterday I saw a post by a Brazilian comedian saying that she is not worried about being harmed during a future "machine takeover" because today, when she uses ChatGPT, she always says "please" and "thank you" 😆

Get arrested preventing DOGE goons from entering public buildings, get arrested going into public buildings to find out what DOGE goons are doing, get arrested on the floor during confirmation votes to protest the rubber stamping of unqualified candidates

Fake Name @haffl.bsky.social · Feb 21

Do you have any suggestions, because I feel they should be doing more too; however, that doesn't negate our responsibility to fight as well, just as you did.

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · Feb 21

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way.

Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Sarah Dohl ❌👑

@sarahdohl.bsky.social

In 2009, during Obama's first term and a Democratic trifecta, Judd Gregg sent a letter to Senate Republicans about how to grind Senate business to a halt to prevent a big healthcare bill from passing. My @indivisible.org co-founder and @doggett.house.gov co-worker posted it earlier today.

This image shows a letter from Senator Judd Gregg (New Hampshire) on official U.S. Senate letterhead. The letter addresses Republican colleagues, urging them to fully use Senate procedural rules to oppose Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health care reform legislation. It highlights the economic and legislative impacts of the bill and stresses the importance of Republican voices in the debate. The letter includes a signature from Judd Gregg and contact details for his communications office.

This image provides a detailed breakdown of Senate rules and strategies available to the minority party. It includes sections on:

Budget Points of Order: Explaining how legislation can be blocked unless 60 votes waive specific points.
Amendment Process: Describing how senators can filibuster amendments, demand divisible amendments, or offer substitute amendments to slow legislation.
Motions to Recommit Bills: Explaining the ability to send bills back to committee for revisions.
It also outlines procedures for after passage, including motions to instruct conferees and handling out-of-scope conference provisions.

This image outlines the procedural rights of the Senate’s minority party, divided into two main sections:

Rights Before Measures Are Considered: Explains the ability to object to unanimous consent, use the 1-day and 2-day rules to delay legislation, and call for “hard quorum” to require attendance.
Rights During Measures’ Consideration: Details strategies like demanding full readings of bills and amendments, raising Senate points of order, and requiring debate on motions to proceed.
The document emphasizes that these tools give minority senators significant power to influence legislation.
