A bit of drama today at Agami Island as this male got into a fight with another male displaying nearby. There was some snapping and bill clacking and this guy then goes into full-on dance mode with his crest expanded. At Agami Island #costarica #birds #herons #nature #testosterone

Measles it’s completely preventable by vaccination and was on the verge of being the second infectious disease to be completely eliminated, until the anti-vax crowd got involved.

On a day of more daunting international news, thankful for the roses in the garden. Praying for reconciliation and peace, somehow.

I empathise with Americans who are exhausted after just 5 months of this shit. Genuinely extraordinary thing for Vance to say. On every level. If you weren’t concerned before, this should tip you into.. ‘Christ, they’re all quite mad’ territory.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

Another story about UK record temperatures illustrated with an image of people sunbathing on a beach … Perhaps the @nujofficial.bsky.social should consider some basic climate awareness training for its members www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...

I hate painting woodwork. But after a year of renovating a house from 4 walls and no roof - I can at least appreciate we are at this point!

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
