"You're bothering me! Hello!"

Boat-billed Heron
Cochlearius cochlearius
Brazil
--Nishant Kumar.
Crest Raising is particularly common, and is used when the bird is disturbed and also in other displays. The degree of crest raising is variable but at full expansion it forms a black fan, contrasting sharply with the white forehead. As a display, the heron may also extend its neck up and forward in a slight arch. Crest Raising is a disturbance and greeting display

Robotyne Bulge:

Ukrainian forces have broken a large hole in the Russian 1st line of fortifications east of Robotyne (as predicted here on CoSo) and are expanding it both latterly and in depth. Most if not all of the Russian BARS volunteer units appear to have been withdrawn from the 1st line to an interim line between the Russian 1st and 2nd lines of fortifications.

New: Kevin McCarthy denied a request from President Zelenskyy to deliver a joint address to Congress, instead siding with Putin.

He also refused to accept a classified briefing from the Biden administration on the situation in Ukraine.

We have a high of 21 C today and a lake temperature of 18, which ain't too shabby for late September. Yup, I'm going in.

If Republicans shut down the government, their salaries should be withheld in the same way they would be for millions of American workers.

Love the lawsuit against AI companies for consuming copyrighted material. I mean, did these companies think they could just consume petabytes of copyrighted material for free? Wonder where this will lead.
