I have a large flock of Crested Guans that live in my garden. These are such funny birds. Once upon a time, they were hunted extensively and were extremely shy. But they realized that @casabentbill.bsky.social is a safe place and they just hang out, eating fruits, and playing tag. #birds

Trump handed the Iranian regime a weapon with FAR greater utility than a nuke. He legitimized the weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz and turning it into a toll booth to demand reparations payments anytime they want. A nuke is useless in comparison because the moment you use it, you’re toast.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@MatthewKeysLive
Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

As media gets monopolized the real stories get harder to cover. But also as Leah says — logic. Protests aren’t a video game. They’re not a push-button event. They are the result of the moral, political, and physical effort of organizers who are also doing the other work we need for a democracy.
