You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Every frame of a hummingbird is unique because of their structural coloration. Even the slightest change in position creates a new palette. The Fiery-throated is probably one of the most splendid to photograph. At Paraiso Quetzal Lodge #CostaRica #birds #hummingbirds #nature

folks, he's on top of it

Friend Fran Rutkovsky posted these lovely armadillo photos from her yard in Tallahassee. Armadillos *love* water and will take hilarious baths.

Mothers, don't let you fetuses listen to jazz.

Does anyone else remember this amazing stuff?

Via South African agricultural economist Wandile Sihlobo, new statistics on farm killings in South Africa from the ministry of justice. In fourth quarter 2024, there were 6 farm killings, only 1 of the victims was white.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

NEW: someone got a photo of the list of lies republicans plan to tell about the billionaire bailout bill.

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act. A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

TIL that after the shooting death of CEO Brian Thompson UnitedHealthcare approved many life-saving medical procedures it has been holding out on because of sudden internal panic and public scrutiny. So, Luigi (innocent until proven guilty) probably saved more lives than he took.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Scott the Woz on "games going woke":

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

#MSH45 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. The bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a lateral blast surges through the disintegrating slope. 7 miles north, Gerry Martin describes what he sees—until the radio goes silent.

A very generous policy.
