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:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

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 😄

Oh my god.

Only missing, "you let those people burn your city to the ground"

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.

@jalefkowit OK, um,

“Our purpose is to restore Western Civilization …”

Yeah, what?

@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

@AlliFlowers Isn't it perfectly obvious by now that Melania is Trump's Russian handler? Grifter is minimizing the espionage role she has played. How about we label her a spy and traitor.

@selzero @dalias Sounds to me like you are advocating for denormalization. Which I have a hard time arguing against, since the current “normal” is pretty darn fu.

@alpine_thistle @Huntn00 I am most certainly not culturally catholic. Not even close.

@alpine_thistle @Huntn00 Believe whatsoever it is that makes you happy, but fail to turn it into a religion unless you want to obtain power, control and wealth.

Remember, the Pope has had literal martial armies in the past.

@gtconway3 I remember Aarpy, he was that character in Catch-22.

@Huntn00 @alpine_thistle or, perhaps, religion is about power, control and wealth.

Wars are not fought "over religion." Wars are fought over property, and religion is used to justify it.

@brndnpink@hachyderm.io He was married to Lalla Ward. For much longer than Tom Baker was. That has earned my respect for him.
