Bald Eagle 🦅 courtship cartwheel display involves a male and female eagle flying into the thermos where they grasp talons then glide in dramatic fashion back down, then break apart when they're nearing the ground. Afterwards they go to the nest to mate. They are monogamous

To properly interpret "go Hawks!," you need to know where you are. Atlanta: Basketball Chicago: Hockey Seattle: Football Iowa: College sports (any) This also applies to any of those teams on the road, so be careful out there.

Incredible that medical facilities, which all claim that protecting patient privacy is one of their “core values”, are the only places where my personal information has been stolen repeatedly. We’re closing in on double digits at this point.

Old Joe is hard at his desk work again 😹
A closeup of a tabby cat, Joe, sound asleep on a desk. He's on his back with one fat polydactyl paw tucked into his chest, and the other reaching toward the camera. One eye is open and his mouth is open enough to show his fangs. His belly floof is luxurious, and shining in the sunlight.

the median home value in seattle today is $833k (higher for detached houses) with 10% down at today's national average for mortgage rates... your monthly housing costs would be almost: $7,000 a month (incl utils) this puts the income needed to buy a home in seattle at $275k a year

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.
Image 1: the agent is standing in front of the driver’s side mirror, with the mirror at waist height.Image 2: the agent now has has hands on the car as it starts to move. The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Schmitt, last year apnews.com/article/nati...
Schmitt, a first-term senator, followed a GOP donor’s speech on “The Problem of Our Time: White Guilt” with a talk of his own titled “What is an American?” In it, Schmitt criticized some legal immigration, declared that “America doesn’t belong to them — it belongs to us,” and insisted, “We can no longer apologize for who we are.”

“Our people tamed the continent, built a civilization from the wilderness,” Schmitt said. “We Americans are the sons and daughters of the Christian pilgrims who poured out onto the ocean’s shores.”
