I'd like to take this opportunity to pivot to an iconic US endemic we *KNOW* still exists and that is *GOING TO BE EXTINCT* in the next 30 years if we don't do something drastic, fast. The Saltmarsh Sparrow:
The ivory-billed woodpecker, a bird presumed to be exctinct but one that has become a kind of Holy Grail for American birders, still exists, a new study suggests. But some scientists are skeptical, saying the evidence is on this “very poor video.” nyti.ms/3Ml9gvW

If you’re turning left, get your ass in the intersection on green. It’s not in the manual but that’s how real life works. The adults are trying to make time.

In 1900, an ornithologist in New York inspired people to count birds on Christmas instead of shooting them. It was the first Citizen Science project in North America. bit.ly/3hRu9DG #birding – at Florida, USA

Somebody asked who I think is the best eligible player not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Sterling Sharpe. Retired at 29 due to injury. 1992-1994 (his last 3 years): Sharpe: 314 rec, 3854 yds, 42 TD Jerry Rice: 292 rec, 4203 yds, 38 TD

Roxette is a really underrated pop band and ripe for rediscovery. Basically a harder-edged ABBA. LOOK SHARP! is one of the first albums I ever owned and it’s loaded with hits. RIP.

Don't understand Southerners who dislike non-binary pronouns when they invented a great one: "y'all."

I was trying to let women speak for themselves on this issue, because it’s not my lane and there are so many furious, brilliant, heartbreaking perspectives being shared. But this morning I’m seeing women wonder where all their allies are. So here, let me co-sign this take:
All abortion bans punish women and girls because they criminizalize health care, forcing them to carry fetuses to term. But Georgia will now imprison them for life or execute them for an abortion. Unconstitutional, pseudoscientific, misogynist garbage. slate.trib.al/qRc3dOM

Why can’t Democrats learn to do what Republicans do and just repeat 1 point that seals your case, as: “You said Mexico wld pay for the wall”...just say that 1 thing and nothing else till this mess is over! What else needs to be said?

I hate the guy but credit where it's due asking a kid if he still believes in Santa because "at 7 it's marginal right?" is funny.

Sparing Mike McCarthy a month’s worth of rumors, plus the indignity of playing out the string, strikes me as a respectful outcome. It’s OK to do things differently from the way they have always been done.
