I don't think I've ever captured a Northern Cardinal in flight in quite this way. I love the way the sunlight sets his wings aglow! 🥰🥰🥰 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one…
A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

Just saying that it's not a good sign that we can't even stay in games against top 25 teams
Could argue we still haven't beaten a good team. This isn't looking good. Play tough perimeter d and we panic.

Our second half strategy of giving them wide open threes doesn't seem to be working.

It’s just always going to be like this until Kelsey can get a team to like defense as much as they do offense.

All 28 of these senators are bigots and have permanently enshrined their bigotry by voting for this. Astronaut Mark Kelly fucking bigot. Every single one should forever be known by nothing but their bigotry.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Returning to twitter to minister to the hogs and do my part to improve the conversation. Fixing Andrew Tate's heart by talking about the NBA with him. Replying "Are you watching Plurbus" to a Rod Dreher post about demonic possession and kicking off a healing round of good-natured discourse.

Not a single person will be sad when trump dies. Not one person will legitimately feel sad about it. Some will act that way and some will lament that he died before he helped them grift but no one will really care that he's gone.
That's how sad his life is. No one loves him and no one ever will.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.
