A blue tit's yellow chest is painted by its dinner. The pigment comes from the caterpillars it eats. So a bird on a poor diet or one carrying more parasites wears a paler duller yellow. Learn your UK birds free at learn-birds.com #BirdOfTheDay #UKbirds #bluetit

Rob says that Alan's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Branched, birds on thin branches. The Alt theme is #Grounded, birds standing on the ground. For todayโ€™s main theme Iโ€™ve chosen a photo taken last year in Marrakesh of a Common Bulbul singing while sitting on a thin branch.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. โ€œDigital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.โ€ This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flรกvio Bolsonaro.

Iโ€™m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donโ€™t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Because people in Norway & Sweden donโ€™t want to give up their high quality of life to move to a โ€œshithouseโ€ country where people canโ€™t afford to go to the doctor, send their kids to college, or put their children in quality daycare.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.

Mega. My first Yellow-browed Warbler for Spain and Alicante region yesterday. Only 30 minutes from my house and not another birder in sight (it was found the day before). I was very happy to get a couple of shots too. #birds #birdphotography #birding #naturephotography #Alicante
