I set up a wildlife camera to keep an eye on my hummingbird feeder, and it’s such a great time-sink.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

People are given gifts because: A. Someone likes them. B. Someone wants something from them. Imagine believing someone LIKES Trump enough to want to give him anything, let alone a $400 million plane.

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

Wondering how old I (46) have to be until I start calling every man under the age 30 "young feller" like my Gramp always did to avoid learning their names.

I don’t know if black bear ASMR was a thing before, but it sure if now. Listening to my bruin visitor crunch peanuts one at a time like they’re potato chips is remarkably soothing.

I find spite helpful when getting through turbulent economic times. For example, everything my family needs is about to get much more expensive, but at least the Trump voters and non-voters get to suffer along with the rest of us, AND they get to know it's their fault.

I’m 10 years younger than Cory Booker, in decent shape, and love to hear myself talk. But I couldn’t have done what he did. Not even close. Truly impressive, and a goddamn shame it won’t resonate with more people.

Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat. “If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.
