There is a Canada Geese crossing in my neighborhood. It’s especially busy in the spring when the moms are leading their broods around.
Honking does no good. Neither does slowly moving forward. They can not be intimidated.
The video of Reuters’ best animal photos of the year includes one of a crowd storks? (or stork-like birds) in Israel. Reminds me of learning that during the founding of Israel, when the newcomers were famously draining swamps, they were inadvertently destroying wetlands migrating birds needed.

Speaking of fuzzies, there is news today on furries.
The Co-Chair of the Michigan Republican Party has been spreading a rumor about MPS High School.
“Kids who identify as ‘furries’ get a litter box in the school bathroom,” Maddock posted on her Facebook page the afternoon of Jan. 20. “Parent heroes will TAKE BACK our schools.”
Of course. The Maga Morons bought into this with the gusto heretofore reserved for Horse Paste Dewormer.
The
head zookeeperSuperintendent was forced to issue this statement.“Let me be clear in this communication, there is no truth whatsoever to this false statement/accusation! There have never been litter boxes within MPS schools.”
Benw
@WaterGirl: leaked everywhere! I think we made our butter layer just a bit too thick, so there was too much in all the layers. I think it was actually good that they leaked, so the croissants actually came out nice and crispy (but still VERY rich). If all that butter had been trapped in the croissants they would’ve been soggy and/or greasy.

I’m a Masshole, and I live a couple miles from that intersection with the goose crossing. There’s a river called the Alewife Brook just off camera to the right, obviously what the geese are heading for.
But the real reason I’m commenting is to name-check the old classic children’s book Make Way for Ducklings, which was set in Boston proper. And there’s a little gift shop on Charles Street that sells copies of that book translated into well over a dozen other languages (the ones most likely spoken by people wealthy enough to come to Boston as tourists, or send their kids to Harvard or MIT).
There are plenty of reasons to wax wroth at the Boston area, like the subway extension that’s now supposed to open this summer, a mere five years past the original plan. But then there’s the geese.

We watched Last Night In Soho last night and we really enjoyed it! Amazing style, costumes, sets and cinematography. Anya Taylor-Joy is a legit Hollywood superstar with the acting chops, beauty and charisma that just makes the camera love her in every moment. It was also the final performance of legendary, Diana Rigg, who is always superb. Anyway, if you love 60’s fashion/style/music, and some good horror with twists, I would highly recommend it. Very fun flick.

I have two ordinary heating pads. Put them under the trays with the seeding pots, on “low”. When they come up pull them off the heat.

Really, really good news if only because it is wildly popular with the public and Republicans just completely ignored it.

I saw that story earlier, and it took me a while to think that through. To be clear, they are not offended or outraged for the kids, they are offended and outraged because (a false perception) that someone might be catering to those kids. Even if it were true (which it obviously is not), what harm would come of this? It is as ridiculous as Tucker and his M&Ms, outrage for performative outrage sake. In a world were thousands are dying of infectious disease, the environment is taking a continuous pounding, the wealth gap grows wider every day, and people struggle just to make ends meet, can’t they at least find something worthwhile and real to be outraged about?

@debbie: I wonder what happens if the Ohio Supreme Court rejects the redistricting commission’s new maps. I think they will come out this week.
The Kansas state Senate has come up with a Congressional map, but the state House might tweak it. Republicans have enough votes to override a veto by Governor Kelly. The new map leaves 3rd District Representative Sharice Davids with a district that the Senate Majority Leader says she would have won in 2020, but I expect it’s close to a 50-50 district.
The map also moves Lawrence to a more Republican district. I think it’s old district was getting a little bit too purple, so Republicans thought it best to make Lawrence the eastern end of a district that runs to Colorado.

@Geminid:
It was a sweet day indeed when George Allen committed macacacide.
Webb’s margin of victory was only 9000 votes out of 2.3 million, and since it gave the Dems control of the Senate (nominally, as it turned out: that’s when Mitch became Senate GOP leader, and began requiring 60 votes for everything), I assumed the GOP was going to legally contest the result every which way, and not hand over the seat until they were absolutely forced to. I was quite relieved when Allen conceded.
Apparently my fears of such a response just showed up 14 years early.
