Thank you!

A bird perched on a sunbleached bit of log, looking down. The bird has a black and white head (black crest, black eye stripe, black chin, with white above and below the dark eye). The black beak is short and pointed. The breast and belly range from white to dirty white. The visible portion of the back, folded wings, and tail are black. The background is a blurry pattern of light and dark brown.

In case anyone out there is going through a "cute" deficit. A mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) at Capulin Spring in the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico on March 13, 2026.

nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Thank you!

Of course there's a Robin. #BirdOfTheDay #HeadShots #ECK

A great blue heron perches on a fishing pier at a local nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron’s head fills the frame in left profile. Gusts of 24-mph wind curl the feathers around its head and push its plumage outward, lifting and twisting the feathers beneath its beak. Its beak appears peeling and weathered, and faint marks suggest scars that may be healing from possible fighting during the mating season. The background is a soft bokeh of blurred yellow vegetation across the pond, creating a muted backdrop. The heron’s piercing yellow eye is encircled by a vivid periwinkle-violet hue—an intensified breeding coloration that appears during mating season and helps attract a mate. Photo by Kort Duce

I don’t know dude. If James Baldwin was able to write all his work while his friends were being assassinated by the FBI, and while he was living in terror as a gay Black man … then maybe you can write without using A.I.

Yes, she hates him, and the second he shuffles off this mortal coil she'll be ready with tell-all interviews and weepy memoirs. Many libs will cheer her on, but this still won't make her a good person.

Aaron Gunn: If the federal government truly believes in the private property rights of Canadians, they should probably stop opening every public meeting by proclaiming the gathering on the “unceded territory” of this or that First Nation. Doing so reinforces the radical and dangerous legal concept that most Canadians live on “stolen land”. This is Canada. One country. For all Canadians.

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

I think they're both males? Females have a brown belt on their midsection

(But yeah, it looks like they're both having a frank exchange of ideas about whether the town is big enough for the both of them)

For #BirdOfTheDay we'll do #PerfectlyPerched #SongBirds for extra points!

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

Sir John Abbott seated in a formal portrait, shown from the chest up. He has thinning white hair brushed back and prominent sideburns. His expression is serious, with slightly downturned lips and heavy eyebrows. He wears a dark suit jacket, waistcoat, white dress shirt, and a dark bow tie. The background is plain with a draped fabric backdrop, and part of an upholstered chair is visible beside him. The photograph is black and white with soft lighting that highlights his face and hair.

After the death of Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir John Abbott became the Prime Minister of Canada.
His time in office was very short, but his political career was long and influential.
This is the story of the first Prime Minister born in present-day Canada.

Absolutely! Icebreakers, windbreakers, firebreak(er)s. It stands to reason something can work on earth.

Anna’s hummingbird is perched on the edge of a diagonal twig in front of blue sky. His beak points upward, his face and neck are brilliant shiny pink, and his tail feathers are flared straight out around him. His body and tail feathers are a mix of green, gray, and white. His wings stick out to the sides.

Gawron at a glory hole: image 1 is what looks like a gas station toilet, establishing what kind of hole we're dealing with here. Image 2 shows the hole, and Gawrons face: "Hello?" Image three sees Gawron getting closer: "Is anyone there?!" and the final image just shows one eye: "I seek glory!"

Ugh well that's a block!

I'll do you one further, and say that quite a bit of TNG (especially the first couple seasons, when Roddenberry was most in charge) hasn't aged that well either. Recycled scripts from Phase II, magical sci-fi, moralising plots, and so on.

We already have it! "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" was an animated show lasting for 3 seasons starting in 2010-ish. Very high on camp and deep cuts of Batman and DC lore, but also tons of awesome action moments.

OMG I first read that as "Batman-era shows" and I nodded sagely, "yes yes, there's a whole generation who loved the original 60s show as children" before my brain moved on to the rest.

(Also I agree, no more 23rd century stuff!)
