Oh God you got Patel and Nanos both handling this now? This should be good. Nanos also recently barely survived a no confidence vote to stay in office. 😑

This Pima County Sheriff needs better public speaking skills. Better yet investigation skills. No way should they have returned access to the crime scene!!!

Three more #kakapo nests found on Pukenui/Anchor Island yesterday. Here's Konini with her two eggs. We have found nests for 26 out of the 36 adult females on the island, with more to come in the next few days. It's a big year! #conservation #kakapo2026 A

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Leave the Black Howlers alone!! #Primates
Amazon black howlers (Alouatta nigerrima) are endemic to Brazil. Deep jaws surround their enlarged larynx and hyoid bone to produce their characteristic howls. Threatened by hunting and habitat loss. Least Concern. Photo: ©Leonardo Merçon/iNaturalist/CC4.0.

On Nov. 18, 1857, William Hall fought at the Siege of Lucknow and showed immense bravery in breaching the wall. For his actions, he became the first Black recipient of the Victoria Cross and the first person from Nova Scotia.
This is his story.

Over the holidays I received a thermal camera as a gift, so I brought it to Guyana. The first animal it helped me find was... a red-nosed armored tree-rat caught mid-pee.
