This is an amazing fundraiser. It's direct help to people who need it, and it exists because of the generosity of people on social media.

This one, I believe in so much that the more of you who give, the more I'll give.

Seriously.

II. WHAT WE DO
***

The sole purpose of this event is helping school-aged kids from lower income families eat during the 2-week school break in December

➡️ In the US, most food aid is school-based

➡️ In NC, access to that aid goes away when schools are closed

Dumb? Yes. But so it goes

Sparkle chickens!
@bruceshark.bsky.social
Peafowl are some of the largest birds that can fly.

In fact, the chicks have all of their feathers when they emerge and are capable of flight roughly one week after hatching.

They are also known for their aggressive disposition, so we'd be careful with the insults.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.
Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

Mike @questauthority.bsky.social should see this.
Ok hang on, maybe I'm not reading this right but does this indicate that the "consequences occurred" language WASN'T actually in Link's alt-text?

My wife took this video of a boisterous bottlenose dolphin in Monterey Bay, CA. At the very end this lunatic breached parallel to the boat and actually brushed against my wife’s shoulder on the way back down. At that moment, it had to be at 10-12 feet in the air. A super rare encounter! 🦑

I just thought of @questauthority.bsky.social and @kenwhite.bsky.social

I mean, both have critters... Are lawyers.... I mean...
But I want Mike and Popehat in wigs too!

*Ducks and runs for cover*
Hilarious idea, I love it
Does your pet look good in a horsehair wig? Do they deserve to be seen and admired by thousands? Why not dress them up as a lawyer and submit their photo for inclusion in this year’s Law Paw Calendar (www.lawpawcalendar.com)? All proceeds will go to @savechildrenuk.bsky.social
