Hi! This Bela Lugosi the Umbrella Cockatoo. Heβs a joy and a terror, all at once. We originally thought he was a she until the Vet did a DNA test.
When he turns into a rage chicken, there will be blood. /1
Iβm having a serious craving for grilled cheese sandwiches. It can be a pain in the ass because I had to toss my teflon frying pans because the fumes apparently kill parrots. π¦ So, I guess Iβll use the Ninja air fryer.
Yum.
βWait! WAIT! You better be carefulβ¦ Quiet! QUIET! Whatβs wrong with you? Are you a sick person?β
The short-tempered thin-skinned dictator wannabe with cratering approval numbers repeatedly loses his shit at reporters. (H/T @atrupar.com )
Tomorrow, I will have circled the sun 59 times. When I look back, I am amazed that I am still alive!
Interesting fact: I have the same birthday as Bela Lugosi - the human one, not the murder chicken that owns me.
Police shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley βwas justified,β Mississippi attorney general says - Mississippi Free Press
Please make this make sense. How in the actual fuck can a police shooting of a BABY be βjustifiedβ?
One pardoned rioter had been sentenced to 12 years after being convicted of assaulting officers, robbery, obstruction and other crimes.
Trump didn't just rewrite January 6.
He used presidential power to erase the consequences for the people who committed it.
On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks passed away from cervical cancer at just 31 years old. Her HeLa cells, taken without her knowledge or consent, went on to transform medical research and contribute to countless breakthroughs. Today, we honor Henrietta by ensuring her legacy are never forgotten.
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Rev. Jesse Jackson! His powerful voice and unwavering commitment to our people helped change America. We are forever grateful for his leadership and sacrifice. Your impact lives on in the hearts and minds of generations of young Black people. Rest In Power!
Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words.
This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. βπ
I received some concerning medical info. I thought I was having some really painful earaches. Yeah, no.
CT scan ordered immediately.
If you are able, please send positive vibes.
I will forever be grateful to those of you that have been so kind.
Omg hahahaha, you freaking dumbass
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said in a separate βMeet the Pressβ interview that he is considering a run for president in 2028.
I think that this is going to get really fucking ugly in a few weeks when freezing temps hit. Donβt forget that this administration gutted LIHEAP and people will die because they canβt afford heating oil.
βWinter is comingβ
Chris Wright: "There's a very good chance we've hit peak prices, and we're almost surely going to see diesel prices decline. I think we're quite likely going to see meaningful declines in gasoline prices as well."

Excellent article by @kschake.bsky.social in Foreign Affairs.
FA has limited articles available each month without cost to the reader.
They only require an email address. Definitely worth your time to go through the quick sign-up process, if only to read this.
Ignoring the precepts of the Powell Doctrine left Trumpβs Iran operation βvulnerable to many different forms of failure,β writes @kschake.bsky.social. βFar from discovering a new way of war, Trump has merely discovered new ways to lose.β
Iβm going to guess that the snoring by Christa Pike in the execution room was probably agonal respiration. Itβs pretty grotesque that they transported her by ambulance to the ER for lifesaving efforts.
Scoop β I've ID'd the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning.
Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.
WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
"Irony jumped the tracks, careened down the embankment, crashed through a circus, drove over a mink farm, and finaly plowed into a protected wetland where it rolled over, leaking oil, and exploded, raining down smoking clown shrapnel and flaming weasels all over the countryside."

When I was little, I had earaches and infections that hurt so bad that I would non-stop scream. They put tubes in my ears and problem solved. Not a single earache in 50 years.
Today, I woke up with one and holy fucking shit- this really, really hurts.
ENT appointment for next week!
