It’s pretty amazing that I can stick these little pieces of floppy plastic into my terrible eyes and suddenly have 20/20 vision.

I need to know what kind of turtles we have here. Alligator Snapper? 1. Box Turtles? I can’t count that high.
If you stopped at a deserted rest area to use the restroom and found it filled with turtles who all silently, balefully, turned their heads to look at you, how many turtles would it take to scare you off? That number is your Uncanny Rest-Area Restroom Turtle Number.

Can’t wait to spend my weekend browsing this and getting mad at past generations for demolishing everything. 🥲
There's one collection at Kansas City Public Library that I love more than any other, and it's the 1940 Tax Photos. And while it's taken many years longer than we'd hoped, filled with fits and starts, we've built them their very own website: kc1940.org
KC-1940
In 1940, over a period of eight months, more than 58,000 images of Kansas City structures were photographed and assembled as the 1940 Tax Assessment Photograph Collection.

Today in 1972, as Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, and Ron Evans were rocketing toward the Moon, one of them looked back and took this iconic photograph, the first to capture a fully-illuminated round Earth and the only one taken by a human being.

The snow has kept the vroom vrooms away and it makes for blissful relative silence. Winter is my new favorite season.

Honestly so embarrassing that Trump would routinely round up press people in a pen at his rallies and direct everyone to boo them like journalists were the worlds worst zoo animals and the last four years have been the media trying to apologize and make it up to him

Had an exchange with a motorcycle cop tonight who got blatantly passed by a pack of four-wheelers. He said they don’t even bother pursuing because if they run and kill someone, it’s on the officer. 1/3

Feeling my sanity slipping away as more and more (genuinely awful) stories about what Trump said or did accrues. Because:
HE PLOTTED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A VIOLENT COUP ON LIVE TV! HE ATTMEPTED TO END THE REPUBLIC! HE'S THE BIGGEST TRAITOR TO THE CONSITUTIONAL ORDER SINCE THE CONFEDERACY!

Back on Memorial Day weekend, I was on a bike ride and ended up on the promenade by Liberty Memorial, where a naval officer was having a ceremony for taking command of a destroyer. Very cool to see as an onlooker. 1/2

He *asked for nuclear options* twice during his Presidency.
No, seriously. He did.
The CHIEF OF STAFF had to OFF-THE-BOOKS call his Chinese counterpart to reassure him that he would NOT FOLLOW AN ORDER TO NUKE CHINA.
And you think there's no difference.
I have reason to doubt your judgement.

Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says
The book also revealed a previously unreported call between then-Vice President Mike Pence and former Vice President Dan Quayle.
