Today’s bit of beauty: azaleas.

I consider this a pretty respectable level of “loaf” for a non-cat. Bonus for the mini blep.

ConLaw question: How can they make the argument that the Alien Enemies Act supersedes the 5th Amendment of the Constitution?

Honestly, reading headlines about Hegseth these days it’s hard to tell which are real and which are The Onion.

A movie you’ve seen six times or more that isn’t Star Wars

Yesterday’s hero was this stick I held in front of me on my morning hike to keep the spiderwebs from breaking across my face.

But…I thought Trump said he was going to end the war in Ukraine on day one? www.cnn.com/2025/04/18/e...

I kinda feel like you all might enjoy following Coral City Camera. I'm always delighted when they pop up on my feed, and let's be honest, we all need a little more delight in our lives.

I haven’t posted one of these in some time, but today’s bit of beauty is the lower cascade of Yosemite Falls. I was recently able to visit here, my happy place, and hope I will be able to do so again. Protect our National Parks.

I decided to check out of my work day a little early today and I’m now sitting on my back deck watching the wind blow through all the new leaves with this goofball.

Run it like a business, right? If you were, you wouldn’t destroy your profit centers.

Current mood

Doesn’t it feel like a great day to join me in making a donation to let the Ukrainian people know they can still count on the American people? u24.gov.ua

Yes.

If the FAA goes forward with this deal after seeing how Elon just *turned off* Starlink in Ukraine when he didn’t like how it was being used, then things are even worse than I thought.

The thing people seem to be missing about the Ukraine minerals deal is that it was Zelenskyy’s idea. He is the one who proposed it, both as a way to reimburse the US for aide and to encourage the US’s continued involvement in (and presumed protection of) Ukraine.

OMG, the truth in this!

Just saw this ad pop up and was like…Sorry, WHO you calling a senior now?

This breaks my heart.

There currently a MFing squirrel (presumed) INSIDE the walls of my house!!!! I can hear that little shit scampering around the ceiling and up and down the walls. I’m sure it wants out, but how did it get IN?!? Gah!!

At first, I laughed, but it was the laugh of painful incredulity which was followed the agonized deflation of “of course those were the two.”

Hey. If you’re looking for a very immediate way to help Ukraine, call your reps. Also, support my friend Ed. His organization brings greatly needed medical supplies into Ukraine.

For your enjoyment, I offer a happy lab in a beautiful creek.

Bluesky, help! Can you help identify the gorgeous bird that was sitting on my fence (location is Western NC)? *fingers crossed that it is what I’m hoping it is*
