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

I wish this quote wasnβt still so relevant
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, βEverybody knows war is Hellβ. The second panel shows BJ Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell) saying (sarcastically) β remember, you heard it here last.β The third and fourth panels show Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) saying, βWar isnβt Hell. War is war and Hell is hell and of the two, war is a lot worse.β 5th panel shows Father Mulcahey, the chaplain (William Christopher) saying, βHow do you figure that, Hawkeye?β 6th is back to Hawkeye, saying β Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?β 7th is Fr Mulcahey saying β Sinners, I believe.β The last three panels are all Hawkeye, saying, β 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.β

Agree that I hate this is still relevant.
how many of you are wearing masks as long covid is now the most common childhood health condition?
Some serious competition from the Annaβs hummingbirds as well:
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 sheβs a traitor. I think she should be charged with treason, and I think her life should be torn apart by forensic accountants, ASAP.
Samesies!
We canβt take everyone from the States. But we should make a concerted effort to provide refugee status to trans people from the USA.
Whatβs happening to them there is a hate crime.

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.
Please enjoy the utterly confusing set of vibes from our march froggos #frogs etc etc

"creating a protected bike route on the road, while retaining two-way traffic, would be βprohibitively 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
Itβs insane how the Chinese are lapping us at EV tech. To be fair, theyβre also lapping Europe.

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.
