My butterfly photography collection. Working on a few old photos I shot some years ago. Adding some AI created textures to the background while keeping the photographic parts intact.

Early morning wildflower meadow in Plano, TX.

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

"NO KINGS LIVE HERE"

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Omfggggg if this is true!!!

"Nowhere in the country have rents declined as much as they have in Austin — now 22% off the peak reached in August 2023, according to Redfin. The median asking rent is $1,399 per month, down $400 in less than three years" #YIMBYworks

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

This sums it up, yes.

Just so we’re clear what just happened: Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to. They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research. And then they failed to pass that bill too.

Outside of DC you might as well be talking to a corn dog.

Every conversation I’ve had with my Republican friends for the last seven years distilled into three sentences.

Retain faith in our democracy

It’s been a hell of a week since Trump rang the opening bell at the Stock Exchange.

#donkparty #BlueCrew Dear price of egg voter:

Here's a good one!

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

What happens when you “leave abortion to the states”

Wouldn’t it be funny if this was the most LIKED photo on Bluesky?

“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me. I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat. The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed. I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy. I’ll stick to activism.

Once a predator, always a predator.

Jessica: Biden oversaw the best recovery in the G-7 by far and away. Unemployment in this country is lower. He extended the number of people who got access to affordable healthcare, medicaid expansion. We're producing more oil than any other time..

Police departments of all sizes are feeling the pinch of fewer officers.   Today, I announced $4.5 million to support the recruitment and training of new officers across the state.   We’re investing in building law enforcement agencies that are ready to answer the call.

Trump announces that billionaires no longer have to comply with environmental regulations

I’m going to start writing Boiling Frog Skeets: BFS #1: It is not normal for a President to fire an FBI Director who hasn’t done anything wrong #BoilingFrogSkeets

I have about 1/3 of the followers here that I have on the other place, but the engagement here is a lot more fun & interesting, & it feels happy. I really hope this lasts. We need a public marketplace of ideas!
