I learned something new today! 😃
“Through such trials birders develop what they call “nemesis birds,” birderspeak for the species that bedevil them again and again, despite their best efforts. As birding surges in popularity, the hobby’s unique parlance requires explanation. To “twitch” is to drop everything to chase a rare bird found outside its proper range. A “spark bird” is what birders call the bird that piques someone’s interest in birding.”

NEW: Key witness against former President Trump and his co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after switching lawyers, according to a new court filing. via NBC News
Over 200 vessels 🚢 are stranded on both sides of the Panama Canal as an unprecedented drought and low water levels have prevented crossings. The canal handles about 40% of US container traffic.
More than 200 cargo ships are waiting up to three weeks to cross the Panama Canal — each crossing takes 51 million gallons of water.
This is the worst drought since the opening of the Panama Canal more than 100 years ago.
We are in a climate emergency.

There is much that is repulsive about today’s “conservatism.” But to me the willingness—nay, eagerness—to betray Ukraine could be the most repulsive feature. In its hatred for free men and women fighting bravely against brutal aggression, it betrays its descent into semi-fascism.
Some of the most telling passages from the Ronan Farrow expose on Elon Musk imply he wants nothing good for anyone unless he can take credit, gets off on risk and destroying things, has a grandiose ideology and a dangerous grip on world leaders. SUPER. http://newyorker.com/magazine/2023/

Conditions of his bond: tfg cannot violate state or federal laws or communicate with co-defendants except through his lawyers. He cannot intimidate witnesses or co-defendants, or “otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” by threatening them or 30 unindicted co-conspirators, and “make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community” including “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media” 😄
Can we just hang his mugshot instead of a presidential portrait?
@MookyTroubadour I actually have a white metal roof (very thick). Cooler in summer, deflects hail, does not retain snow or big tree limbs.

' One key advantage RICO gives a prosecutor, Segall explained, is that it allows the inclusion of alleged criminal acts from other jurisdictions '
Happy days.
