@StillIRise1963 The underwear model is whining about how we are calling ShitGibbon a threat to democracy, when that is almost the least of the threats he presents.

CBS News has chosen to be a cowardly entertainment company, not a journalism organization, in its cavalier decision not to do any fact-checking in the VP debate next week.

This is an invitation for Vance -- as prolific a liar as Trump -- to flood the zone with bullshit. There's not enough time in a day, much less 90 minutes, for Walz to refute the lies and make his own points.

CBS knows this, and put its thumb on the scale anyway.

Branch Out Look

This is a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) that I saw in the forest.

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.

You can check out my gallery at:

@are0h Well, I would get offended if someone called me "white". I am all North Sea ancestry, but "white" has a completely different meaning now. White people can GFT.

@are0h The third great lie: "I'm not racist."

I never say that because I never have to. People see for themselves how I am.

@Permacultureandpolitics Yeah, as Bruce says, not an emerald ash borer. The wikithing picture shows a very smooth carapace with an emeraldy shiny finish.

@inkican Thing about dystopia is that it is *not* boring. You struggle to survive, which keeps you from getting bored.

And, quite frankly, given how FU we are right now, I suspect a proper dystopia would probably be an improvement.

We are so conditioned to this condition that something else is always portrayed as worse. But it could very well be better. Or at the very least, we would get used to it.

I just got a text from Moo Deng who is trying to raise $100,000 for Senator Jon Tester by midnight can we help this lovable creature out ? file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/ac/12/D8662FC0-59D0-4B51-9DB1-59225B664B71/moodeng.webp jontester.com/

@ellenmorrisprewitt
… And the one that Robert gives you
Don't do anything at all

@jeffowski I believe myself to be more decent and caring than the average Christian. The cross, therefore, is quite useful to me as a warder. Just as if I were some sort the werepire, it wards me off from having a close relationship with someone who is not compatible with me. I can be friends with a Christian, but it can go no further.

Birdwatch: A Colorful Encounter

There are three house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) in this photograph. It caught my eye because I like the way the sky peeks through the forest canopy behind the birds.

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 😄

@jeffowski Technically, the “Seven Deadly Sins” is a Catholic invention that does not actually appear in the bible. On the other hand, there is the Song of Solomon that pretty graphically celebrates recreational copulation.

@ernie @tedium If it results in the mothballing of x86 architecture, I would approve.

@QasimRashid The RW is like a cornered animal, fighting to not be eaten alive. They will do as much damage as they possibly can, even though they know they are not going to make it.

If both my wife and I were archaeologists who used Carbon 14 decay measures to determine the era in which ancient individuals lived, you bet your ass I’d loudly say “WE DATE OTHER PEOPLE” at parties.

@RamenCatholic I just read both recently. They are both like paintings, comprised mostly of scenery which Mockingbird reluctantly pulls down into a storyline, but Watchman seems happy to just wander the neighborhood looking for daisies and interesting pebbles.
