I brushed up on tying a monkey fist knot as well! Impromptu weapons can be helpful after all;

A downy woodpecker visited our feeder today in Denver. He's chilling on a rose branch and competing with a particularly aggressive sparrow that's been running everyone else off. This little boy circumvented that by grabbing the bars on the side of the feeder, not the perches so he could come in from overhead and get some foot. Including the woodpecker there are at least five species out there this morning!
Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic, it's what I have on me and the feeder is only about 10 feet away from the sofa!

@mycrowgirl

this is how my mind works*.

I know there are two copies of the same book by @pluralistic and I can explain that.

#Denver #Aurora new years fireworks are in play. Also #FuckTrump and #NazisRaus

@carlmalamud @pluralistic

And that wasn't even the best story, Unauthorized Bread was the best story in this book!

Got mine in '66/'67, my dad's sister had mild #AFP and was in a wheelchair her whole life. Yeah; RFK and anyone on that anti-vax train are fucking idiots.

A friend of mine works for NSA and says that the existing structures are already slowing down the pace and preparing to do exactly what they did the last time; stall every aspect of implementation. It's not good for the intelligence community but it IS a community and can and will protect themselves and use as much as possible.

@tayfonay

Story four, The Masque of the Red Death, in @pluralistic book "radicalized".

@GatekeepKen

#Capitalism was a shit idea.

It's weird but, as an epidemiologist, I'm kind of hoping for another pandemic to show up in early 2025 so that trump will again be distracted and unable to do all the insane things he wants to do. Is that wrong?

@duval

I suggested that Palestinians are human beings, received the typical attacks, had one person look up my address somewhere and also reach out to my work "reporting" me as antisemitic. I blocked and reported and the person who runs babka reached out to the admin of my instance asking that they ban me. I was already moving to another instance and made that happen befor I lost my list of friends. I don't remember whether babka admin reached out to this instance or not, I started off by blocking babka completely so they may not have been able to follow, I really don't know.

Typical fascist behavior in my opinion and I expect a lot more of it during this administration.

Size Matters? Penis Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America
Terrence D Hill et al. Am J Mens Health. 2024 May-Jun.

"We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun ownership, military-style rifle ownership, and total number of guns owned. "

Glad the authors cleared that one up!

$14:88 for a brand new pillow! Wow! A sale at MyPiilow! I did NOT see that coming!

@fesshole

My daughter had me print up hundreds of tiny, rectangular pictures of Peppa Pig and Gordon Ramsey's face, she taped Gordon's face over Peppa's face and spread them all over her school. Years later they still find them and they're still confused. I hope the same for your town!

Yard sale day in my neighborhood means getting parked in by people because, hey; "I'll just be a minute!"

@headlines_bot

She is going to absolutely wipe the floor with trump.

#JasonCrow endorsed Harris, go Colorado 6th CD!

It is with caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion
It is by the juice of coffee that the thoughts acquire speed
The teeth acquire stains
The stains become a warning
It is caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion.

@slcw @flexghost

They beat their opponents on camera before and during trump's time in office and then tried to violently overthrow the government on J6. Yeah, trump is Octavian for our Republic, keep that firmly in mind going forward.
