After a long day of travel, I have finally sent my newsletter, which is about traveling through shark-infested waters.

This is not a metaphor. These are actual sharks. I got to see actual sharks with @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and it was amazing.

"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."

India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.

The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.

if there's one thing war in West Asia is historically known for, it's providing solutions once and for all

HERE IT IS:

Okay, so BirdCast seems to be broken tonight😭 but at least the radar composite map is still working. (Anyone from Cornell awake tonight? Does a switch need to be reset?😂)
These will be mostly short distance migrants headed north.

[COMMENTARY]

A new op-ed warns of a growing mental health crisis among conservationists, driven by ecological loss, funding pressures and a culture of self-sacrifice.

The authors call for greater investment in workforce well-being and support.

Luuuuuuuuuunaaaaaa 💚

Few local creatures stop me in my tracks like this, just the sheer size and soft colors and markings. Like, welp, day instantly better.

lol, gas is already at $5.39 for the cheapest stuff in HB, lifted truck bros about to have an existential crisis next week

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

Rivers are living beings.

I love it so much and wish it had done better to get more made. I wanted more of Regé-Jean Page’s character!

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

#ECCC2026 shoved a bunch of artists in the lower level so they could have a community stage on the artist alley floor and shoved a bunch of artists downstairs.

An educational infographic titled TORNADO TERMINOLOGY featuring a stylized tornado icon. Tornado Watch: Weather conditions could lead to the formation of severe storms and tornadoes. BE PREPARED: Know your safe location. Be ready to act quickly. Tornado Warning: A tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar. TAKE ACTION: There is imminent danger. Seek refuge immediately. Tornado Emergency: A rare situation with a severe threat to life and catastrophic damage. TAKE ACTION.

Severe storm season is here. Do you KNOW the difference between a Tornado Watch, a Tornado Warning and a Tornado Emergency? www.weather.gov/safety/torna...

Lol, it's hard to comply with the terns of release when you don't even acknowledge their jurisdiction over you.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be the first big raptor flight (mostly Turkey Vultures) of the season. It’ll be down to whether the lake generates too much pushback against the south winds, but I think the winds will come through, pushing birds to the shoreline. #birds #spring #migration

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:
