@noondlyt Do you still type that name? I use various alternatives, like “Individual-ONE” or “CFSG” or many others. I refuse to type or write “T***p”. If I have to, I will use Доналдь Трамп.

@Gorfram @JessTheUnstill And make airlines pay for airport/tower service.
I have done many 44 hour trips on Amtrak, a few of which turned into 60 hour trips, but, I personally had no regrets. My feel has been that they need multiple trains on those long hauls: some cities get 3am service: if there were several trains, they could alternate the smaller stops, improving net speed with fewer stops, and provide service at a reasonable hour.
@StefanThinks Keep at it. Shitposting is an art, and also a bit of luck. Someday, you will get that meme that explodes like a fucked couch.
@bamfic @scentedmeat @kims @noondlyt We did have a 67% majority in the Senate, back in 2009. But we had that one Senator from Montana who fought tooth-and-nail against the Public Option. We need more than just a supermajority.
@TheEddieShow The MAGAts want to take the country back. Backwards. Like, two centuries. I say we take the country back about 80 years – when Americans were being encouraged to, um, defeat NAZIs.
(“Defeat” was not the verb I wanted to use, but one must be circumspect.)

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.

@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:
https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com
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.
