He/his Love all animals, especially the unlovable ones. Not a scientist or artist or anything exciting, just a disabled person striving to keep sane in an increasingly off kilter world. And fair warning I tend to post a lot of arachnids and the like

A photo of an Allen's gallinule (Porphyrio alleni) wading in shallow clear water with one very large orange foot raised, mid-step, as it looks down toward its own reflection. It is a small wading bird with a stout body and a small head on the end of a short neck and long legs that end in large, long-toed feet. Its coloring is bright and vivid with iridescent violet-blue breast and neck, shiny olive-green back, aqua-blue wings, a black head, red irises, bright red beak, a pale blue shield above its bill, and bright orange legs and feet. It is facing toward the right of frame in shady lighting with a brown rocky shore behind it.

A colorful Allen's gallinule mid-step for #BirdOfTheDay. Sorry they spelled its name wrong, @alan678.bsky.social. #SteppingOut #ColourfulCaptures

Having eaten at The Big Cheese, all I can say is that most menu items should come with a defibrillator. (complimentary)

A sequence of shots from the TV series MASH. Three surgeons are operating in a mobile army surgical theater, and are masked in cotton masks, wearing cotton caps to cover hair, and aprons. Bright lights are visible in their backgrounds. The first, panel shows Frank Burns (an absolute jerk character but Larry Linville, his actor, was not) saying, β€œEverybody knows war is Hell”. The second panel shows BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) saying (sarcastically) β€œ remember, you heard it here last.” The third and fourth panels show Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) saying, β€œWar isn’t Hell. War is war and Hell is hell and of the two, war is a lot worse.β€œ 
5th panel shows Father Mulcahey, the chaplain (William Christopher) saying, β€œHow do you figure that, Hawkeye?” 6th is back to Hawkeye, saying β€œ Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?” 7th is Fr Mulcahey saying β€œ Sinners, I believe.” 

The last three panels are all Hawkeye, saying,  β€œ Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. But war is chock full of them. Little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”

I strongly believe Smith is weakening healthcare and other services and trying to blame Ottawa for it, and foolish or cynical people believe her.

I think she’s a traitor. I think she should be charged with treason, and I think her life should be torn apart by forensic accountants, ASAP.

We can’t take everyone from the States. But we should make a concerted effort to provide refugee status to trans people from the USA.

What’s happening to them there is a hate crime.

What creature is this? Some sort of land tadpole?

This is a collection of the monthly frog drawing requests from stream. There is a frog with cat ears and a huge mouth, a frog holding a blanket and a teddy as if they just had a nightmare, a small frog lying face down on the ground, a plate of spaghetti with frogs instead of meatballs, and a very round opossum with little frogs riding on their back.

"creating a protected bike route on the road, while retaining two-way traffic, would be β€œprohibitively expensive""

Bike infra isn't expensive, maintaining high speed car access on every possible road is expensive.

Having 2way car traffic is expensive, why isn't it framed like that?

Some people will say that the comparison isn't fair because cars will actually take you somewhere. Then please explain why people buy stuff like this to drive it to the office

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines The Chinese carmaker's new batteries feature a 5-minute charge and 621-mile range, plus a 620,000-mile lifespan and lower prices.

It’s insane how the Chinese are lapping us at EV tech. To be fair, they’re also lapping Europe.

It is why I feel one of my greatest assets is what I call "weaponized empathy"

The goal is to understand your adversary's motivations, goals, and ideals. You should feel their pain when you punch them in the crotch. But punch them anyway.
