this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

How does he do this without swearing?

More fun with wet birds! We mist the birds (those who like it) every afternoon when it’s above 90 degrees. Tonka the red-tail hawk looks like a freshly hatched chicken when he drinks the water dripping from his beak. I told him so and we laughed. #hawks #redtailhawk #nature #birds
Just gave Cam her daily misting and waited 10 minutes for this shot. Yes she can fly away, yes barred owls love water, yes a feather flew off bc she’s molting, and yes she loves it. #owls #barredowl #nature #birds 🪶
This is a baby pigeon. I don’t do songbirds and I couldn’t ID it - the beak was throwing me. I texted our partner songbird rehabber and she said if it feels like holding a heavy ball sack it’s a pigeon. It did and it is! 🪶 #birds

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)
Today an instagram famous frog died in our care after a cat got him. Don’t ever let an influencer’s frog die on your watch. Go get another frog and lie about it.

Timothy Snyder does a perfect job describing American foreign policy in just 53 seconds! This is so spot on, what an embarrassment the "baby in the bulldozer" is. @timothysnyder.bsky.social #Pinks #ProudBlue
WE HAVE 18 OF THESE🪶! They are very hungry, they never ever stop screaming, including when their mouths are full! I just fussed at this kid for yelling in my ear but he’s just waiting for me to leave so he can complain. #RedShoulderHawk #birdsofprey #raptors #Fledglings
When do we collectively stop paying federal taxes?

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.
Video pretty clearly shows Trump’s unable to stand unaided and fell down after two steps. Nonetheless, you’d still kinda think that a loyal or competent secret service would manage to protect the president instead of the VP, pretty incredible.
Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · 3mo agoDramatic video from Getty Images from behind the dais. They actually got Vance out before Trump. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/vice-president-jd-vance-is-escorted-out-by-secret-service-news-footage/2273151734?adppopup=true
He couldn’t get out of his chair by himself so they got Vance out first. Then he fell and had to be helped up. Where’s THAT story?!
The babies just keep coming! 2 more nestling barred owls displaced by high winds. We are getting a good meal in them today then renesting tomorrow. The one on the end stays though 😉🪶🦉
BABY SEASON IS HERE! This nestling barred owl was displaced when the tree containing his nest was chopped down. We will attempt to reunite him w his parents, and if unsuccessful, will place him with a foster parent. Right now he’s got a stuffie for company and a belly full of pinky mice. 🪶🦉
