Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Second rate reporter says what?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

So many bastards, so little time.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

People are complicated. Love is not.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Republicans don’t trust women.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Here’s one.  But I don’t have any notes, so will depend on Albatrossity & other accomplished birders to identify it.

No notes for this very cool bird.  Albatrossity?

CAMP

I hadn’t realized it was my birthday the day before—until I found birthday greetings when checking email at dinner time.  The staff surprised me tonight with a cake accompanied by a traditional Masi chant, dance & ‘jumping’ contest.  Enchanting.

    I think the white bird in the tree is another Yellow-billed Stork. Could be a White Stork (what is the date for this trip/picture?), but I can’t see enough of the bird to tell.

    The long-tailed black birds are Ruppell’s Starling.

    @Albatrossity: There was another interesting bird in the marsh.  Smaller, kind of rust colored with long red ‘toes’ that walked on top of the vegetable.  I have video of them, but no decent photos…

    @Benw:

    Mongooses is preferable, but mongeese is the kind of word that grows in popularity because of a similar word, i.e., goose and geese.
