I was reminded earlier today that I need to reconstruct my Twitter thread over here at some point on our backyard bird creek we made many years ago. Pinning this as point to start from whenever I can get to it. In the meantime, enjoy this fall Kinglet Pool Party. #birds
I am a sucker for sparkly things😅

There's a super-viral post going around on here with replies and quotes disabled that is just a rip-off of someone else's image from more than a decade ago. See old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte... for what *might* be the original source but it's hard to say.

I checked out realfood.gov, the new government website from Mike Tyson's Super Bowl ad.

It encourages people to use Grok to "get real answers about real food," yet Grok's advice conflicts with the administration's own nutrition messaging.

My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...
RFK Jr. Says Americans Need More Protein. His Grok-Powered Food Website Disagrees
The site Realfood.gov uses Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to dispense nutrition information—some of which contradicts the government’s new guidelines.

I’ve been assuming the jobs numbers would stay meh but not disastrous given that all of their efforts to fuck the economy still haven’t pushed us over the edge but, uh

maybe that’s changing
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

I'm grateful that Kyle surfaced all these extraordinary opinions slamming the Trump administration for the illegal detention of immigrants. This one leaps out in part because the judge is warning us that abuses being inflicted on immigrants now are a preview of what could be unleashed on citizens.

It was 85° in California the last several days; they were wearing masks.
FOX NEWS: When it comes to masks & federal agents, is that something Republicans will stand firm on?

HUSTED: That's something for the president, and Tom Homan, & DHS to determine what's safe. It's been below 0 in Mpls. If you're going to be doing work outside, having a mask on is a practical issue
