I’ve been trying to capture this red headed woodpecker for about a week now but he would always fly off as soon as I got a shot ready. He was a little more patient than usual this morning. @ababirds.bsky.social @backyardbirds.bsky.social

Had our backyard sanctuary disrupted by a visit from a red tail today. Alas, it looks like he got one of our doves. I’ll spare you the gory pics. Circle of life, yada yada…

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

This is what they wrote.

A "pig butchering" scam might open with a simple “Hi” or some good-natured confusion about why your phone number seems to be in the person’s address book.

It's the first step in a process intended to drain your bank account and ruin your life.

A Christmas Miracle! First time ever luring a white squirrel to the back stoop. No critter can resist the pecans.

I miss Facebook and Instagram but so glad to be rid of narcissist weirdo Zuck. Getting rid of Prime hurt, but knowing I’m not giving space alien Bezos another cent of my money is worth it. Never Tweeted or Xed and quit cable news years ago. Now if I could just quit Walmart! FUCK THE OLIGARCHY! ✊🏼

Pretty decent disc golf year! Still looking for that first ace and first par game. Goal is 60 rounds in 2025.

College football players, if you are going to strike Heisman poses, would you at least look at a picture of the statue first. Since Dipshit Desmond started this trend, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single pose done correctly.

SHOCKER!
I know you're never going to believe this, but ...

For the 3rd year in a row, Musk’s foundation did not give away enough of its money. Tax filings show that the Musk Foundation fell $421 million short of the amount it was required to give away in 2023.

Musk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023
Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

Who wants to go back to this? No one with a functioning brain. These MAGAts are too drugged up to make decisions for the country.

Even they know it’s not if but when.
After the global financial crisis, when Americans had to bail out banks, etc., I remember reading an article written by a plutocrat warning his brethen the pitchforks were coming. Here's the author of that article giving a TED talk 10 years ago.

HUZZAH!
Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump.

"So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

Hello, Bluesky! With the latest news of Zuck’s donation to the oligarchic fascists, I decided that was the last straw. I finally pulled the plug on my Facebook experience! I’ll miss the Events for local announcements and all the great artists on Insta but that’s about it. Suck it, Zuckerberg!
