His actual words were “Hey der, guy! Folks is tryin’ to drive here, eh! Get yer stoopid bike off da streets! Do youz even pay road taxes?” “And, go Bears!” #ChicagoPope

Judge: “You stand accused of murder in the first degree. How do you plead?” “Well, we are all going to die.” Judge: “Release this man!”

DENVER I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE… BUT I FUCKING LOVE IT. GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS WEATHER. SHOOT THIS SHIT RIGHT INTO MY VEINS. YOUR FUCKING WEATHER: SUN: 87° MON: 85° TUE: 58° WED: 67° FUCK YES THU: 68° FUCKING FUCK YES FRI: 75° DON’T STOP

We spent 4 months growing a giant vine to get this flower.

Oh fun. A contagious unvaccinated child has been wandering around our city spreading measles because our culture is a corrupt mix of anti-science individualism and lack of health care access. Arapahoe County offers free MMR vaccines, so, you know, get your kids vaxxed.

Important.

I’ve gotten so nerdy that I’m having nightmares about my intonation.

For those wishing to catch the new LIBRARIANS. youtube.com/watch?v=jWzw...

Coyote howling by day down by the Mexican border here in San Diego. I did a quick U-turn to come back and get this shot and I was stopped by border patrol who said I was behaving suspiciously. Of course I was, I’m a birder! 🤣🌿🦊

We hate that our space heater dies every day, but it’s sure spectacular on its way down.

I still think about this

Unexpected LIFER! Mr. Great-tailed Grackle def put on a show - he must've know how EXCITED I was! Not supposed to be here - or used to not supposed to be here or...out of range map - but now a handful of sightings since 2018 in location and off the "rare" list. Sure's hell was rare to me! #birds🪶

And, who's on the new LIBRARIANS writing staff? Two of my favorite new people I've worked with, Sean and Sinead Persaud, proprietors of Shipwrecked and creators of the aces comedy noir podcast THE GREATER GATSBY. How many nerd fandoms can we cram into this show? ALL OF THEM! youtu.be/04OZY_-uMIU?...

Do not test ride an e-bike unless you are prepared to _buy_ an e-bike. E-bikes are GLORIOUS! @daveandersen.bsky.social

Cease, no more.

Dog having his own fun.. 😊 #Animals #Pets #Wonderful

Lots of fancy sparrows moving through on their way further north. Look at this bicycle helmet wearing cutie-pie. White-crowned sparrow! #birds

If you want to identify earthworms from photos, you must flip them over. Photos of both sides of a worm enable the most accurate ID because segments can be counted and genital structures made visible. If it’s raining, try this today & start your worm life list. I found 40 species in 1 year!

The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning! #birds #photography #birdphotography #birding

When insect fossils are this intact, just looking at them makes you go WHOA. Plus, preserved body structures reveal how their group evolved! In my latest for @cnn.com, I wrote about how a truly stunning cicada fossil from Germany's Messel Pit places singing cicadas in Europe earlier than expected 🧪

Taking the whole ROAD ✔️ Distracted (singing) ✔️ No helmets ✔️ No lights ✔️ No reflective vests ✔️ Riding in a pack ✔️ Textbook radical anti-car cyclists.

A reminder from FDR…

Want some stylish and durable panniers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 to drape across your rear rack? There's nothing more Dutch than a pair from the Clarijs company.

Trying to relax before bed after a day of thinking about birds, click on this headline thinking it would distract and relax me. Turns out it’s an entire article about movie birds with a special appearance from the app Merlin! Article link: slate.com/culture/2025....

“The money the Post Office spent came from us already. It is used to provide an insanely valuable service to us. And we could say that about any number of other things that provide massive value that we already paid for: libraries, schools, parks, fire departments, roads.”

No, we are not going to live on other planets. Bullshit artists like Musk might as well be the leaders of death cults. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

A tiny bit of magic on the underside of a milkweed leaf, a Monarch Butterfly egg. #invert

The group Everyone Hates Elon has plastered London with a fake ad campaign. One sign branded Tesla “the Swasticar,” and announced that the vehicle “Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 Seconds.” “Now With White Power Steering,” another read.

The Defense Department operates at a $850 billion loss. It makes no profit except in illegal arms sales. 😏

my cables will not be "managed" I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement. cable management is a tool of the oppressor.

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

Let them eat tariffs!

President Trump swore to uphold the Constitution but he didn’t say which one.
