Good morning. 🦆🦆🦆
19 October 2024
I'm going to break my personal rule about not talking about politics this morning because this election for president is so, so critical and if we get it wrong it could change our way of life. So, if you are a citizen of the United States of America and are 18 years of age or over, please go vote.
If you want my advice: vote for decency, vote for democracy, vote for sanity, vote for stability, vote for reality, vote for truth, vote for kindness, vote for the earth, vote for the country, vote for freedom.
My wife and I are planning to go vote this Monday. Early voting started in Louisiana yesterday. I'll keep who we're voting for private, but she is not an insane, cruel dancing clown in a blue suit and red tie.
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato

@christymarx @ct_bergstrom Well, you need to read Marzluff’s Gifts of the Crow. It is quite interesting, and besides teaching me about corvids, it also incidentally explained dreaming.

Mockingbird on Mystic Branches
I saw this northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) on this rather interesting looking tree, while looking out the window of my hotel room at the ocean last year at Gulfport Mississippi. I took the picture through the window. It turned out okay, don't you think?
My photo gallery contains more that 700 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

Bright Yellow Bird in the Wild
Here is a photo of a female scarlet tanager (Piranga olivacea). Unfortunately, the chance that I have of seeing one of these around here is during migration. These birds are members of the family Cardinalidae and are closely related to cadinals, buntings, and grosbeaks.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.

@Swede1952 I keep seeing people tooling down the road on one-wheeled powered devices. There is that thing that is like a center-wheel skateboard, but I have also seen straddled wheel machines, and the rider is just casually riding down the road at 20+ mph.
But, of course, those are not classic unicycles.

Mess Maker Mess Maker Make Me a Mess
Yesterday a Mastodon friend said that some birds can be picky. Here is and example of just that, this blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is searching through the seed mix to find a peanut and swatting the unwanted seeds out of the way.
As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:

Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

I don't want to think about politics anymore, I want to sit by a fire and listen to Vincent Price tell ghost stories.
But I also don't want to hear all these people acting like there's no point even trying. Yes, the electoral system is a mess, and it's gerrymandered to shit, just remember they wouldn't do all of that, if we weren't still a threat, if there weren't more caring compassionate people than racist sexist idiots. Remember that the media is owned by billionaires who want you to feel defeated, and like it's not worth trying. Go vote, even if you're in the reddest state possible, no matter what the polls say, this matters, you matter.
@milkman76 @luckytran it is easily explained: look in the lower-right corner
@jalefkowit "Praxis", BTW, is a word used by the "Austrian School" (von Mises, Hayek, Rand), which is supposed to connote empiricism and practicality. Imposing regulation on markets is deemed "impractical", to be avoided.
IOW, any time "praxis" appears, one should expect the worst form of glibertarianism underlying whatsoever is being presented.

@Burnt_Veggies Hate is a strong motivator.
They have gorged upon loathing and can taste naught else.
It matters not, the bullet in the foot, for that is how they were trained to shoot.
And suffering is the price they must pay in order to hurt others, for, the pain of others is so satisfying that they can ignore their own. Ignore their own blood soaking the carpet, as it drains away the last thread of reason from their failing minds.
at least someone else got hurt

There are no accidents with guns, only negligence.
And in this case, criminal negligence.
