screwworm prevention is one of those markers of state capacity that gives you confidence adults are in the room somewhere one by one, those markers fall
Replying to @cremieuxrecueil
I can see the DOGE tweet: "We canceled a contract for Panamanian screwworms, saving $165 million dollars!!!" [aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-a…] Meanwhile: "The slightest oversight could undo all the work that came before."

One of the Great Blue Heron nests has four nestlings. These are very busy Great Blue Heron parents to be raising so many young ones, most nests have two or three.

Saying of your literal son “He’s a person I’ve known for a long time” is legendary I’m afraid
May 21
Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.

Obviously its important to get a pap smear, but the amount of people who shut down any stories of women experiencing pain during smear tests and accuse them of exagerrating is a blatant example of medical misogyny.

The newly hatched Sandhill Crane colt (a young Crane), along with an egg that would hatch the next day. At this age, colts have light blue eyes.

Feel like this understates her actual point
Fun Fact: The author did a blog post following the series's VERY dark and depressing ending after a lot of readers were traumatized by the kid characters all either dying or having PTSD and in response, this based lady said: "Lol, War is war keep crying"

Wow it’s almost like there was a deeply engaged protest movement by college students 2yrs ago that was the largest in 50yrs and the publication you work for—along with every other major outlet—smeared them as antisemites, then they were all systematically kicked out of school.
A lot of the problems in the world right now can be explained by this video. For one thing, it’s a big reason why the US government is so unaccountable to public opinion. These are *college students.* A significant amount of the country is totally checked out and comfortable enough not to think it matters.

A Sandhill Crane with feathers freshly painted with iron-rich mud, which will give the feathers a rusty tint. It's believed this is done to help the crane blend into the environment while sitting on a nest.

the question of whether genocidal Zionists have been successful in assassinating Khamenei is secondary. The crucial point is both Netanyahu and Trump are openly saying they wanted to kill him. That is a declaration of total war, and by their standard makes them legitimate targets

love these posts when politicians get online and say "the president has a real opportunity to be someone completely different tonight and I hope he takes it despite ten years of evidence to the contrary"
The President has a real opportunity at the State of the Union: Bring the country together. Remind us who we are. We saw it for brief moments recently celebrating Olympic medal wins by Team USA. Politics disappeared and we were simply Americans cheering together. We need more of that.

This Northern Flicker was following a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers around. When one of the Pileated Woodpeckers would leave the hole of an excavation site, the Flicker would check out the tree cavity and see if there were any ants left to lap up.

We had an unusual occurrence whilst surveying a farm last night, when we caught a Woodcock and a Snipe within minutes of each other. I have never seen the two species side by side, it's amazing how much bigger the Woodcock is than the Snipe.

An unofficial memorial outside the VA ICU today. An unofficial Walk of Honor ended in the chapel as "the event that wasn't" as staff were told they were not allowed to have an event or even acknowledge their loss by national leadership.
