A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Can someone tell these guys (these politicians and the pundits who boost them) that it is not November 2024 anymore? Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mandani, and Aftyn Behn all likely won some Trump voters/2024 skippers. Update the talking points! 2028 is not only for white guys.
Josh Shapiro believes he is uniquely suited to win over Trump voters—but he’ll need to overcome distrust among some in his own party first, Tim Alberta reports: theatln.tc/mR9AHSG4

Just because it's not the Ellisons doesn't mean it's benign. The consolidation of Hollywood is the problem.
State AGs need to block this and signal they'll block a Paramount-WBD merger as anticompetitive too.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Playing Metroid Prime 4 Beyond!

So far I had to pause after the opening cut scene, because this game really better keep up with the good showoff of the upgrades to rumble.

What she means is “I was comfortable being irresponsible when I thought I wouldn’t get caught, but I am uncomfortable explaining that irresponsibility to a critical audience.”

I didn't realize this until Parker here had this comparison. She's definitely taking on an affect.

Sounds to me like the evangelical baby voice transformation.

Reminder that it can always get worse.
One of the craziest things about all this is that this super breathy voice she does here and for the audiobook just... isn't how she used to speak. It's almost an Elizabeth Holmes-level fake voice.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.

But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

as a grantwriter, the lack of unrestricted funding is a MASSIVE burden on nonprofits. everyone wants to fund a new shiny pilot program that makes them look like innovators. they don’t want to help make your tried and tested programs that have served the community for 50 years more sustainable
The headline I feel like is that all the philanthropic donations from billionaires typically have a shitload of restrictions.

Mackenzie is like “you’re doing work to stop something horrible or to help something good? Cool. Here’s a few hundred million.” and the paper is like “wow… so novel”

Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Got a work email saying our company's Okta SSO is switching 2FA methods, and we need update our settings. Thought, nah, don't want to do it now, maybe later. Turned out it was a phishing exercise our security guys were conducting. Moral: laziness is a line of defense.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
