Alan picked House Martins: The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Relaxed about 🌍🌏🌎. It will be good as new after a few million years. Concerned about humans, freedom, democracy & humanity, and 🇬🇱. 🧨 Crypto. 🚫 Magadonians. ❌🤴 🇩🇪🇪🇸🇬🇧(un petit peu 🇫🇷)
@charlotteclymer.bsky.social sums it up as pointed as usual. This fing guy should sit behind bars or disbarred, not made AG. They really find all the worst people. ꓯSꓵ
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
@helenbennett.bsky.social started the day with a great topic: For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme I've chosen #FabulousWaders Any wading bird that you love! The Alt. theme is #Speckled any bird with speckled patterns on its plumage. 📷 Like her, I'm a big avocet fan 🤗 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Alan picked today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Alt #HedgingYourBets, any bird in a hedge or bush. Travel day, so a recent Blackbird must do ☺️ #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Actually, it's the royal You they are talking about. So yes, the 🍊💩🤡🤴 asked for it. ꓯSꓵ
Nobody asked for this
Donorrhea is the absolute best Heavy Metal band name I have seen all week. They could all play in Trump masks. And my God, the stage show
Yesterday @alan678.bsky.social thought he would let us post freely so the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #YourChoice bird capture/captures you’ve been itching to post. Oystercatcher story under bad thermal conditions, but I live this nonetheless. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
@robcrank68.bsky.social took his pick: “ Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EgretsAndHerons, any Egret or Heron will do. The Alt Theme is #Yellow, any bird with Yellow as part of its plumage.” Cattle egrets really like to be around cattle 😄 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
I vividly remember first seeing them as a 13 yo while on vacation in France, and I was so happy when I found one to take home 😃 Of course the blue body one.
Throwback Thursday High Tech
Only additional to the graphic is that it heavily undercounts how often he's taken the fifth.
@robcrank68.bsky.social send me on Mandarin duck hunt today: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MultiColour, birds with 3 or more colours in their plumage. The Alt theme is #DucksOutOfWater, Ducks that are out of water but not flying. My only pict that qualifies for both #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
All of this, AND they are allocating money to prepare military interventions the US won't be able to stop.
Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.
Good point. However, one has to admit that the question alive or dead hinges on the definition of dead. 🥬🐢 may have a flat lined EEG, so the 🧠 probably is gone, while the ❤️ might be pumping (or not), and the pump is moving bodily fluid thanks to 🏩 machinery. He's dead to me, and will be at Aug 4th
We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.
That‘s pretty much the same sentiment as in Nazi Germany in 1933:
too busy pretending that everything is okay b/c it hasn't affected us yet.
Alan set a challenging pair for #BirdOfTheDay twofer hunters today: #EmeraldBackdrop – Images where the background colour is green. Alt: #WeatheringTheElements – Birds photographed in rain, snow, mist, wind or dramatic weather conditions. A Puffin is always a win. ❤️🐧 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Considering how Hitler's Ballroom bunker turned out for him… I'm kinda optimistic about it. ꓯSꓵ
@robcrank68.bsky.social is asking for twofers today: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grey, any bird with Grey in its plumage. The Alt theme is #RedBeaks, any bird with a Red Beak. Common tern shortly before spoiling the twofer by hiding its beak in the water 🤗 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.
Alan picked the #BirdOfTheDay theme: #CHE Cormorants, Herons and Egrets Alt #Memories: bird captures you have reason to remember. As I'm on Crepes duty again today, I'm presenting my last acceptable shot of a Grey Heron from one of the first decent days this March. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SittingDownOnTheJob, birds sitting on the floor. The Alt theme is #Yellow, any birds with Yellow in their plumage. This Serin was the cheapest twofer, shot 15 min before my sparrow from yesterday… 😉 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Best explanation for most the 🍊💩🤡 does: What would Russia do?
What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.
DATA CENTERS: THE TRUTH "A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people - which only hires about ten people - is not an employer. They are an extraction."
Alan took his pick for #BOTD: #TantalisingTextures Smooth soft feathers of any bird contrasted with rough hard surfaces. Alt: #ArtOfMotion, birds moving but not in flight. A jumping Sparrow springs to mind 😉 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
Actually, tax them out of existence. It's absolutely wild these and their yachts can be written off as business expenses, and pay no tax on their fuel.
Absolutely 💯 Tax Them…. NEW: Over the World Cup final weekend, ~3,000 private jets flew in and out of the NY area. On the last day, private jet CO2 in the area doubled its 5-year norm(!). Private jets are the most carbon-intensive form of travel. Tax them.
This AI slop has to stop. This rots the brain. It's not AI art. It's Computer-Rendererd Artificial Pictures: C.R.A.P.
