That is exactly the question I have been asking.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.

Good manners are woke I suppose.

Pseudotriton ruber - red salamander. a larval salamander seen from above, just under the surface of a chert-lined creek. has a long smooth body colored light brown with irregular tiny dark brown speckles. its head is the widest part of its body & features two little gold-tinted eyes. at its neck there are feathery red gills on each side, obscuring its front legs. its two back legs are blurry as is its tail.

Eurycea cirrigera - southern 2-lined salamander. an adult salamander sitting on flat bedrock at the edge of a creek, seen from the side. two bulbous eyes protrude near the front of its head; besides its two sets of small legs, its body is otherwise entirely smooth, and is detectably taller than wide by its tail. the top of the salamander is golden yellow, bounded by two black stripes that run all the way down its body. on its side it appears black with flecks of gold.

Plethodon dorsalis - northern zigzag salamander. an adult salamander curled into a J shape with its long tail as the ascender, sitting in moist dirt. its sides are light brown, but a thick, wavy orange line bordered in black runs down its back.

When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

This has been misattributed to Twain and most likely belongs to Ambrose Bierce, but the truth of it is hardly disputable.

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Typical landing in Seattle

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Cuban anole giving me the eye

Help I’m being perceived

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

Three baby guinea pigs in three teacups and saucers

Sorry, but I'm just not into cats much.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

I did that recently. Apparently, if you leave a bottle of beer in the wrong place, like where the frigid air comes in, that sucker will freeze and explode. The brown bottle became 1000 dagger-shards, disguised by sticky brown dark ale. It was refrigerator #2 so it had plenty of time to gel.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

One of those mornings

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

I must have read this book a hundred times.

The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.
