Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Gotta go with the Atlantic Puffin for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BestBeaks, any bird with a beak or bill with striking colors, bold profiles or an interesting shape!
Stout black and white seabird standing on a cliff. It has a unique orange, gray and white beak with a bright yellow hinge, enabling the bird to hold onto many sand eels at once. Pic taken in mid-June 2026 in Iceland.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks Celebrating any bird with a beak or bill that has striking colours, bold profiles, or an interesting shape. Like this Northern Shoveler and its lovely spatula-shaped bill! 💚📷 🪶 Alt: #YellowElements the colour yellow found on a bird. Happy Friday! 🕊️ #ECK #Scape
A photograph of a male Northern Shoveler duck seen in side profile facing to the left as viewed.  He has a beautiful  iridescent green head, a bright yellow eye and chestnut flanks.  He has a wonderful large spatula shaped bill that he uses to filter tiny food items from the water as he forages.  He is seen floating calmly on water with gentle ripples around him fairly close up in the centre of the frame  The water is green with yellow tones in the background reflecting the low sunlight just before sunset.

Trans people want to live comfortably with access to personal medical care and documents. They want access to public spaces. This isn't hard or remotely debatable unless you adopt the pretend framing bigots use as a smoke screen.

A celebration of Small Copper. 🦋 Thrilled to find my mint covered in my all-time favourite butterflies, busy nectaring. A recent emergence? Some lovely variety - classic bright orange to darker sooty tones & one with tiny pale dots on the hindwing. Just glorious. 🧡 @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social
Some of the Small Copper nectaring on the flowers of the mint plant in my Weymouth allotment. Such beautiful, feisty butterflies (though all tranquil here).
Some showing the classic bright orange, others with a darker, sooty palate, and one with small pale dots on the hindwing. All fabulous. What a treat!

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
