Hmm, the heatwave has appeared to have taken out my #weather #station, it's stopped transmitting. (well, it did at 2:30pm, when it was approx. 100F). Hope the reset does it....

Conservatives are on a mission to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump's vision

Tennessee, slightly disgruntled that I interrupted his nap to take a photo — but what am I supposed to do when he provides such a nice display for #ToeBeansTuesday? (Sadly, we don't have a #FloofFriday.) #CatsOfMastodon #today

This is good stuff.

This is a Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) coaxed into my backyard with an orange. This photo is from early spring.

@RickiTarr they do cause smiles

We have seen it over and over, a positive Left Progressive movement destroyed, not by Conservatives, but by internal conflict. The Right might be wrong, but they have figured out how to set differences aside and go after a common goal, much better than the Left.

Issues like the Climate Crisis, Hunger, and Housing can no longer wait until we get our shit together. We have to stop making enemies and start making alliances.

I feel like we aren’t talking nearly enough about DeSantis (FL), Abbott (TX) and Kemp (GA) using or threatening to use state laws that allow for the removal of local elected officials for significant misconduct to replace Democrats with their Republican cronies on the flimsiest of pretexts, and without any due process. DeSantis already replaced 2 prosecutors, it’s how TX took over the Houston schools, and Kemp is threatening Fani Willis.

Just suffered through #Vivek #Ramaswamy'sinterview with Andrea Mitchell. What a colossal self-satisfied asshole. How can anybody possibly think this person should be in charge of anything except a used car lot? I'm amazed he was able to reach adulthood without somebody killing him, and if I were on his murderer's trial jury, I'd nullify - justifiable homicide.
If he becomes POTUS, he'll smash Trump's records for lying. He talks at least twice as fast and practically everything is a lie.

NC gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson says public school teachers are wicked. As governor, he'd remove science and social studies from school curricula. https://tinyl.io/9GBF

This is the same idiot who defended Moms for Liberty which quoted Adolf Hitler in a newsletter. He said we all should be quoting Hitler. Odd thing for a Black man to say since A.H. said n*ggers don't deserve to go to college in his book, *Mein Kampf.* Guess he'd be okay with quoting that.

Corrupt Conservatives just don’t give a shit anymore.

For them it’s time to trouser as much a cash in backhanders and donations from developers and big business as they can before they’re kicked out of power.

The only strange thing is that people in England have put up with this bollocks for 13 yrs and keep re-electing the scum responsible.

My great grandfather RIP. In World War II, he successfully landed a plane that had 73 bullet holes in it. At the age of 50, he fell from a 15 story building and land on awning. He died at the age of 101 of boredom after 50 years of not being shot at or falling from a building.

I wrote about Elon Musk, signalling theory, fiddler crabs, fangblennies, and how we can use evolution and the natural world to understand how Musk turned the blue tick into a warning sign — and why his machinations are so toxic for our democracies. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/signalling-theory-twitter-and-the
