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

The only Republican challenging Dem Sen. Ben Ray Lujan is disqualified by New Mexico SoS. The ABQ Journal says this would leave the GOP without a Senate candidate for the first time in "modern history," and just six years after Lujan won by only 6 points. www.abqjournal.com/news/four-ne...

I look for the exceptional over the glamour of the ordinary. I’m probably not alone in that. I will look for extraordinary plumage or character and ignore the Brewer’s black bird and its glowing eye and otherworldly, green, iridescent tibia even as it sits in the sun at a truck stop.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"
Because folks don't actually want to discuss AI, they want blind submission to the ideological structures that motivate the contemporary use cases and deployments of AI. They don't want to hear the concerns except to dismiss them out of hand.

One of the things you learn in mine safety training is to watch out not only for yourself, but for others. Everyone wants everyone else to go home safe. Giving in to the coal companies who don’t want to hurt their profit by limiting silica exposure, is basically condemning them to die

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

The entire ethos of the Trump administration is that nobody who disagrees with them, nobody who fails to support them, is legitimate or entitled to any rights in any way. It is the ethos of thuggish tyranny.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members
