Tessera

Found this little guy in my kitchen this morning. I have no idea how it got into the house. I moved it outside before one of my dogs decided it was something worth eating.

A very green katydid is "standing" on one of the upright pieces of a sliding glass door.

The "trending" topics seem to think that Meta's AI glasses are being used in a way that was not intended by Meta. Sure. I would argue they're doing exactly what was intended by Zuckerberg.

A screen shot of the Blue Sky Trending items. Number 2, "Teens misuse Meta AI glasses is highlighted.

Had a new experience yesterday. I got to watch (and badly photograph) a male cardinal feeding its chick. The first pictures had to be taken from inside the house to avoid scaring them off. I was then able to get a couple of better shots from outside.

Well, I'm certainly not going to tell her otherwise.

Loretta thinks she is people.

Loretta is a black dog with a tan stomach and chest. She is 70 pounds of lap dog and is probably a boxer and bulldog mix.

Two views of my good boy, Pablo.

A gray and white American Staffordshire Terrier mix is sitting on a light green couch, which is covered by a bright red and blue towel. He's looking directly at the camera with an open mouth because he's panting from having been outside in the heat and sun. #pittsky #dogsofbluesky #pitbull

I'm beginning to think that the local deer view my house as a site for pilgrimage.

I live in a kind of unusual neighborhood.

The way I found out that Amazon was making drone deliveries in my area was when I found a package in the street that had been run over by a car. When I looked to see what it was, I could see the Amazon logo.

Do I have to pay extra for the drone to blow my package into the road?

Hey, @josie-and-chance.bsky.social, maybe Josie would like doing this. :)

Watch this amazing dog! His name is Grayson and this is pretty cool. Especially, the part where he knows to slow down at the speed bump. Wow! 🤩😎

If you've never watched Josh Johnson do his comedy act, you're missing out on a great comic. For example, this joke really got me laughing, although I don't know exactly why. Judge for yourself. youtu.be/keS8X9shbio?...

Well That Was a Surprise

There have been a lot of does with their fawns in the neighborhood this summer. This is just one of them. The last two pictures are the face of a dog that doesn't like this fact one bit.

Hey, @amberdawn1116.bsky.social, I found one of your people!

It’s Rock Day: Rock Check! Do you have your rock? Do you need a rock? Can you find a rock? I found this lovely porphyritic basalt in my washing machine. I love how the different crystal sizes tell a story of an eruption rudely interrupting cozy subterranean cooling. Photos & stories welcome.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only white person on here to see the news of this and be fairly suspicious that foul play was involved. I can still hold out hope that this was not the case, but I'm going to wait until the independent autopsy is done before I'm willing to believe it.

This post is mainly for white folks to consider. I want to share something that may help you understand the reaction from Black folks who immediately looked at the Nolan Wells story and thought, “Something is foul here.” This isn’t proof that foul play occurred. It’s context. 🧵

Looks like these two DHS agents are making the rounds in New York state trying to intimidate people who use their First Amendment rights to criticize DHS, and ICE in particular. bsky.app/profile/adam...

I keep seeing this nonsense also. It would be nice if people opposed to Trump wouldn't spread disinformation about how we can get rid of him and the people in his administration.

I've seen this a few times now - it's misleading as hell. Article II, Section 4 DOES NOT remove all these people in 'one sweeping legal action'. It dictates who can be impeached and removed from their position. The list is accurate, but each must be impeached and removed individually.

If you love space and photos of the Earth and the Moon, you need to take a look at all of these. Amazing.

Hi everybody, I organized the #Artemis2 photos for you. Index pages containing all ~10,000 images in chronological order with time stamps and focal lengths, color coded by which of three cameras was used to shoot them. countlessworlds.com/data/artemis/

Hey, @hawaiidelilah.bsky.social, does this sound familiar?

So @jonswaine.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com has seen hundreds of documents containing evidence that Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, was directed throughout her career by the leader of the cult she grew up in www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Keep in mind that his name is actually KashYAP Patel. Perhaps his parents were sending a warning that was ignored by everyone.

The current White House has a beef with reality in general. This is just the latest example.

Hey, @amberdawn1116.bsky.social, you might have some insight on this one. :)

do any rock nerds on here know what that blue stuff is? #geology #bluestuff #rocknerds

This is usually your sign to run like hell for higher ground away from the coast (assuming any such exists). This is what happens before a tsunami hits.
