@see_the_sus It's a wise woman who knows her limits.

Very few bears where we lived. Biggest threats were drunk drivers and idiot tourists, who came for hunting season, thinking beer was a good food for camp outs involving guns. One year, a hunter shot another hunter THRU THE WALL at one of the two tiny, rundown motels.

@normsmusic IF those Supreme Ideologues decide to hear this one, there will be riots no matter which way they decide.

@EdgeOErin Lovely! But then I don't have to shovel the stuff anymore. Miss the smell of a good snowfall, and the quiet as Earth sleeps.

Thanks for sharing wonderful photo.

Tracking invasive pythons in the Everglades by putting GPS trackers on opposums. The robust, non-native snakes are a menace to native smaller critters. Native mammal populations shrinking drastically, so gotta thin out the breeding snakes people have been dumping.

@WhiteRose Wish this had come into being before I did the Neptune Society thing.

@JV3MJD @PoliticusSarah Dare I hope we can get Murdoch deported too?

@MeTheUnfiltered Kinda hope that if Dominion wins, George Soros hires a special legal team to go after FOX for defamation. It is time to put a stop to the abusive use of lies from RW media in this nations. They've done more than enough damage to our society & democracy!

We can have 2 families in life:
The one we are born into and the one we make for ourselves as we live our lives among others. Some of the friends we make in life will be closer than our birth families. That is OK, and probably as it should be. It's growth. Congrats on your successful growing season!

"Think of the Bing chatbot as “autocomplete on steroids,” said Gary Marcus, an AI expert and professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at New York University. “It doesn’t really have a clue what it’s saying and it doesn’t really have a moral compass.”

"Norfolk Southern—derailed outside of Detroit, Michigan on Thursday, the latest in a string of recentwrecks that rail workers have said are a horrible and predictable consequence of the industry's profit-seeking policy decisions.

According to a local NBC affiliate, a Norfolk Southern representative said that "there were no hazardous materials spilled in the crash," which took place in Van Buren Township.
