The first time I hiked here, I called this a lake. After walking around it, I reconsidered and thought perhaps it's a pond.
Nope. This is a fen. Surely, fen.
It's not an excursion or a significant military event. This is a war.

Hegseth whined about about this headline, and then bragged about how today was going to be very intense.
Total idiot.
This photo shows mostly a cloudy sky that is dotted with kites of all shapes and sizes. The bottom of the picture shows the location, that is the frozen Lake Harriett in Minneapolis. Dozens of people enjoy the winter day, flying kites and riding bikes and skiing.
To appease the Minnesota Wind Gods who kept me awake much of the night, I give you winter kite flying action.
Peace be with you.

Immediately after the secretary criticized media for "war intensifying" headlines, he said that today will be the biggest day yet for American activity.
Sounds pretty intense to me.
This man-child is not serious.
This black-and-white picture shows a street in downtown Los Angeles in the morning, with traffic lined up on one side of a street, and the sun causing dusty glare throughout the picture. The image is split down the middle by the street that goes straight back, with mid-size brick buildings on both sides.
Good morning, with pavement.

The whole "AI will kill us all" thing is coming true. We just had no idea it would start with school-age girls. WTF?
Atop and inside this bright red day lilly are two gray tree frogs. But they're not gray at all; they are bright green. One of the frogs sits right on the red flower petal, and the other is buried deep inside the flower's yellow center.
Two bright green frogs sit in and on a red day lilly. So why are they called "gray tree frogs?" I like this kind of wonderment, not stuff like, what's our rotten orange embezzler gonna do today?

Thank you, and for this, unfollow.
One of my former mountain bike trails in southern Calif. Hard to think I kinda took this for granted.

Oh my god he's an idiot. It's Earth, Wind & Fire, not Death, Fire and Fury.
Happy Monday everyone.

this is a photo of the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean. The water is calm, just small ripples of waves. And only a fraction of the sun remains visible, brightly, while a semi-circular orange glow radiates above it.
Someday, this current administration will end, and I imagine all of them dropping into the ocean.
The beach will be lined with observers. Many will cheer wildly. Others will just smile as the orange fades away.

Some people die. Some get rich. Hey, that's war baby.

Play any Earth, Wind & Fire song anytime of day and you will instantly feel better.
This is the greatest band ever.
EVER
Great info, thanks.
Unrelated, is it becoming standard now to separate sentences from each other, just running a long list of sentences, no paragraphs or connected ideas?
In the center of this image are two yellow tulips, neatly framed by out-of-focus red tulips in the foreground. The morning sun placed shadows on the flowers and the green stems below.
I love snow and winter and cold winds, that's true. But pretty soon my front yard will look something like this and I will not object. #photography #flowers
Hmm, the @wsj.com thinks my skepticism and distrust of the Trump war effort means I hope America loses. Did Hegseth's PR team write this for you?

My wife and I will be heading to Mancini's this Saturday to show our thanks! 🍸
Here is a black and white photo of a single rose, it appears white in this photo. It's surrounded by stems not yet open as flowers, but they're trying. Like we all are right now, trying to develop the real beauty that can be America again.
War is stupid. And stupid people like Pete Hegseth boast about killing and death like that hold some more superiority. I can't believe we let him hold a position of such power.

The "reporter" who asked Mullin that question is Lisa Desjardins, PBS Newshour. @lisad.bsky.social She's a terrific journalist.
This always works, right?
"Imminent" Synonyms: Impending, approaching, at hand, near, looming.
Threat, yeah. Imminent, nah.
words matter:
Boots on the ground = human beings in war
Collateral damage = innocent civilians killed in war
Theater = the place where people are killed in a war
Friendly fire = when you kill someone on your own team
Regime change = when you assassinate someone in a war
Dept. of War = not a thing
I imagine that hummingbirds are always like this. #birdoftheday

One of the best books ever.
From the book of, "I can declassify something just by thinking about it"
The fighting will end when the fighting ends.
Not before.
