@NBallingrud You’re one of my favorite authors so of course you appreciate how brilliant my favorite show is too

I once walked into my house and said “Hello” to my cats in a way that reminded me of Shelley Duvall in Faerie Tale Theatre and then started saying “Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall” over and over again aloud, and then imagined a burglar hiding in a closet thinking “wtf is happening”

Lol Trump’s biggest vulnerability of the entire campaign is literally peaking and Democrats are wasting the moment fighting their own president. Sincerely, what are you guys doing

“Hugh Burgess took that picture of me and Ray. And he’s still living!” - my gmom, in a way that seemed to imply that most people who photograph her do not survive to tell the tale

Okay fair enough, there are two ducks in the background, but please, the ones “witnessing” the meteor are geese, come on, people, I don’t like doing this anymore than you guys do.

A group of ducks in Portugal witnessed the meteor while on Twitch

And just for fun, here’s a version with every warbler I’ve ever seen. (Also if you consider Yellow-breasted Chat a warbler, first of all you’re wrong; second of all, it goes between Yellow-throated and Hermit)

[Matt @PoorMatty]

Here it is, the definitive tier ranking of all 34 species of warblers I have seen within the state of Alabama. This is not opinion, this is just correct and we all know it. (some of them are a little hard to see bc of the way my app formatted the pics)

[Matt @PoorMatty]

Here it is in text form

[Matt @PoorMatty]

Yellow: Prothonotary Warbler, yes. Yellow Warbler, no.

But for orange birds, they’re always lit from within. Baltimore Oriole, Blackburnian Warbler, American Redstart, Blackburnian Warbler. All glowing.

What’s going on with that do we think?

[Matt @PoorMatty]

Hypothesis: some birds are what I think of as “lit from within,” meaning they almost glow. There are some in every color and others in the same color that don’t have it.
Red: Scarlet Tanager, yes. Summer Tanager, no.
Blue: Indigo Bunting, yes. Blue Grosbeak, no.
