It’s that time of year when the chorus of tiny Pacific Tree Frogs fills the evening air.
Some things are still perfect.
AIPAC sees we have the momentum, and they are panicking.
Here’s their latest attack ad, and my reaction:
Much different than Dire Straits but beautiful. Needed this for our Sunday morning...

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
🌳Los árboles: protagonistas silenciosos 💚
as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,
this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Time to shift to the “goods” sector and out of the “wait, that used to be a job in 2026?” sector is now.
Join a maker space. Learn to make things.
Go to a Trade School. Creating > Analyzing for a living.

For those that aren’t preparing for the USA economy to be decimated by #AI in the coming five years I present the “this is why our economy will collapse” in one easy-to-understand chart.
The time to look at yourself and prepare now is…now.

Meanwhile, in proximity of the Zorro Ranch, there exists a place that will haunt everyone that tried to bury secrets in #NewMexico …
Yay! I’ve been on Oreo watch and now that you Oreo-posted again my work is done 😊
This makes me feel somewhat better. Midterm elections cannot be postponed by the president alone, even during wartime. Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to change federal election dates through new legislation.
Wars can only be declared by Congress.
Taxes can only be levied by Congress.
Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.
Laws can only be passed by Congress.
Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

Welp
Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.
Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Yup. Spines and guardrails are both desperately needed.
