To a Republican, everyone "not-me" is a prop. Even other Republicans.

If that's what's happening, this young one picked a prime spot for it. Under the neighbors' solar panels is prime pigeon nesting real estate, and there are dozens. We just added solar, and expect to have more pigeons. As long as it doesn't try to sweep down while I'm holding my parrot, I'm happy to live and let live.

It does look like a Peregrine, a juvenile with the darker brown on the chest. May be trying to get through first winter, trying to find a territory. It's rough out there! Have learned from a rough past year watching Cal Falcons @CalFalconCam https://calfalcons.berkeley.edu/

Because there's bros and there's hos, and it's always bros before hos, and if your bros can be your hos - well, that gets confusing for straight boys. They're easily confused.
I don't understand the anti-trans transhumanist techbros out there either.
My dudes, the entire point of transhumanism is radical bodily autonomy.
If you're hung up on what someone's original meatsack was, you're gonna have a bad time in the transhumanist future you're after.

Twitter cared about keeping your eyes glued to the screen, no matter what it took. They found out that doom-scrolling did that best, so that's what they did.
@BeazLouise@birds.town @mjohanning This looks a little like the bird that's been terrorizing my neighborhood birds, and occasionally turning my backyard into a crime scene, with drifts of feathers everywhere.

Congo African Gray. Very smart, very demanding, very destructive if not kept entertained, but also a treat to be around, and a devilish handful. She learned to bark and likes to set the dogs off. She waits till they're napping, then barks to make them scramble to the door and join in. Then she laughs at them (with my laugh, no less)
@ScottSoCal absolutely!
Itβs a super-relaxed Boxing Day here, and Daisy wants her nose booped. #dogsofmastodon #greyhounds
The results from yesterdayβs #eggnog poll are in! Thank you all for humoring me. While a fair share of those who participated agree with me that eggnog is delicious (42%*), 1 in 4 participants have never even had eggnog! In the original thread we had some great discussions around eggnog additions, homemade vs store-bought, and the acceptable quantity to imbibe. Eggnog is a truly divisive holiday drink. *n=161

Kari Lake deletes tweet smearing judge as liberal puppet amid looming court sanctions: report - Raw Story - Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism

Oh, Kari. Someone should have told you - the internet is forever. Sure, delete the text. It's going to live on, in screengrabs.
It's pretty remarkable how much Elon's Twitter takeover is a textbook fascist takeover: leftists immediately purged, censorship regime imposed behind the scenes, secret police rooting out enemies, right wing terrorism supported by the state, etc and how uncannily similar the mainstream liberal response of pretending nothing is wrong is, even with *very low* costs of walking out the door and refusing to collaborate.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
