Soooooo pretty! Too bad people don't come in all the lovely colors that we find on birds. Although, I suppose some group would start the "green people are better than pink people," and we'd end up the same way.
Birds can be a real pain in the ass to ID. The males can look completely different than the females, and the juveniles can look completely different than the adults.
You aren't far off, although I did take the time to skim a scientific article where somebody researched the green broadbill's jaw mechanism. The hinges on it's jaw are positioned far apart, which allows it the extreme opening in its range of motion. It's really sort of amazing, the evolutionary adaptations that enable animals to thrive in their various environments and do stuff like swallow giant pitted fruits whole.
Learned the Pentagon designated the press office a SCIF classified facility, supposedly because Pentagon speechwriters work from there and have access to classified material, and I've been straight up guy-in-a-green-shirt laughing about it for hours. Like it's SO fucking stupid and any judge short of Aileen Cannon will toss it out immediately. (1. They don't need to share space with speechwriters 2. The speechwriters, IF they need to access highly classified material- famously delivered via speeches!- can go to a real SCIF and work from there.)
Quite in addition to how it's just an asshole tactic *end of story*... where are the chuds even getting their ammunition to push Talarico into the Not A Real Man™ box? What's the hook they're trying to hang it on? Or are we now in the era where they don't even need to anchor their dumb little psych tropes and can just float them at will?
I did not keep the link, but in an interview with a rural Texan, she said there was no way she could vote Republican right now, because they are doing nothing to stop the data centers. Hmm.
hmmmn, is it a bad thing if you run out of water? i mean, there's anti-freeze...that would be ok to drink, right? it's much prettier than water and looks like an energy drink and it causes organ failure!!! value added!!!
From Trudy Rubin in the Philadelphia Inquirer: Iran busts the myth of Trump as master of the art of the deal
Over the last 10 years, who besides Trump, his grifty family, and his MAGA supporters really think that Trump was EVER the Master of the Art of the Deal?

NYT: "Rubio makes it clear that President Trump’s claim on Monday that he “had a very good call with Hezbollah” was inaccurate. “It came from Hezbollah, but through Lebanese authorities,” Rubio says. No president has communicated with Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group in Lebanon that the U.S. considers a terrorist organization. Rubio says Trump’s post on social media referred to a message to the U.S. from Lebanon’s government that Hezbollah will not attack Israel if Israel refrains from striking Beirut."
I suppose what has Texas AG Paxton's panties in a twist is that the city is calling this a "Gay Swimming Party" and you know how Paxton hates gays. But he claims the issue is that the city will provide "gender neutral" changing rooms which Paxton claims violates Texas law on trans people using a bathroom of the gender they were not assigned at birth, Another was of expressing what the city of Denton is doing is providing unisex changing rooms. Like the bathroom in your home. It's just another example of how weird Republicans are.

"Singin' in the bathtub! Chirpy, chirpy, chirp."
When I saw the lovely emerald birdie, I thought for a moment it was St. Patrick's Day, not Pride month. Happy Pride everyone.
Jelllllllll-o bird, he’s splashing so colorf’ly,
Jelllllllll-o bird, how could you be any more green?
So, birds AREN'T real.
🎶 Splish-splash I was taking a 🛀.🎶 Babby bird is enjoying himself/herself.
Soooooo pretty! Too bad people don't come in all the lovely colors that we find on birds. Although, I suppose some group would start the "green people are better than pink people," and we'd end up the same way.
I recommend to you the Sneetches, a tale from Dr. Seuss that literally tells that story
Complete with a huckster who hustles them called Sylvester McMonkey McBean
I wrote something in 2016 that compares him to Donald Trump; imo the characterization still holds up
Yes, very familiar with Sneetches, I agree with you.
That's a Pokething!
Blends in with the green vine vipers.
It’s easy being green
What color are they when they're ripe?
Birds can be a real pain in the ass to ID. The males can look completely different than the females, and the juveniles can look completely different than the adults.
Eclectus parrots being the prime example; the males are bright green, the females bright red.

Awesome
Then there's winter and summer plumage.....
Out!!! ==========>
Adorable spherical green bird breaks the rule of never eating anything bigger than your head.
A little Pride art from last year: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61294797/
That is so squee.
:-)
It's not right when you post shiny pokemons. They're not even real.
D'oh!
He can eat things as big as his head!!! If that's not a pokemon skill, then I don't know what to say.
They just unhinge their jaw, like a snek would.

Heyyyyy! I owe you a coke!
"Gotta keep my beautiful plumage clean!"
That's Our Andy, once again thumbing his nose at the repug suoer majorities hamstring him in the lege.

Why don't these weirdos just call it "Republicans tattling on themselves"-month and be done with it?
Does Hallmark have a line of Family Values Month cards for mistresses?
HAPPY PRIDE!
BE GAY, DO CRIME
and, of course
FUCK THE PATRIARCHY
Let's go get sushi and not pay!
Quite in addition to how it's just an asshole tactic *end of story*... where are the chuds even getting their ammunition to push Talarico into the Not A Real Man™ box? What's the hook they're trying to hang it on? Or are we now in the era where they don't even need to anchor their dumb little psych tropes and can just float them at will?

Caught “The Mandolorian and Grogu” this morning. Fun movie. Not a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s what I’ve come to expect.
well at least as long as we have ka$h, we will always have aziz.
why did it take so long?

Todd Starnes looks like a blobfish that evolved into a dumber, uglier blobfish.
Right?! I think his comments about Talarico reflect his personal issues way more than Talarico. Sorry you got beat up in high school, loser.
Also, too, regarding the misogyny often going unnoticed; NOT BY ME!
thank you, doe

Telegraph diplomacy. No fear of a misunderstanding, amiright?
Good polishing, Mr. polisher of turds.
June is bustin' out all over
The feeling is getting so intense
That the young Virginia creepers
Have been hugging the bejeepers
Out of all the morning glories on the fence
Because it's June!
Die in a fire, Virginia creeper!

It's a waste of time to try to find logic in the Paxton lawsuit-of-the-day.
