Howdy, friends. Birds are back and I have got a fluffy little tyrant for you. The cinnamon flycatcher is a member of the tyrannidae family of flycatchers, so named because an 18th century naturalist called one member of the family … Continue reading The WPT in: Hooray, WordPress Let Me In

Fell into a Tetris hole, keep thinking about Tetris. I really like Tetris Effect for modern Tetris and Magical Tetris Adventure for retro Tetris (with Mickey Mouse.) Puyo Puyo Tetris is also great but personally I consider it more Puyo than Tetris. What’s your favourite Tetris shape and why is it the Cooler S? Today’s artist is Holly Warbs! It’s Spooky Month! You should watch The Blood Spattered Bride to celebrate 🥂 Continue reading The Wednesday Politics Thread
Part 2! Do your thing, folks. Be cool, be kind, be considerate. Look both ways before tying your shoes. No threatening Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else. Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics thread is traveling

Emergency Wednesday PT today. ProPublica has an interesting, though maybe ethically dubious?, piece about how sports gambling apps enable unhealthy gambling behaviors. I really hope the author doesn’t fall into it. A promotion pinged on my phone. “BET & GET,” it boomed, offering to boost my profits if I threw down on tennis, punctuating the point with a cartoon stack of cash. I was already in the middle of a two-hour betting spree, ripping 64 wagers on the clay courts of Paris from my office chair in New York City. A $75 bet that Claire Liu would win the fifth … Continue reading The Wednesday Politics Thread Bets It All
And has a stuffy nose. Fun! Gotta love those drastic temperature swings. So I don’t have it in me. I’ll be traveling next week and the week after as well, so expect a string of these.

Howdy, friends. I’m afraid that between performance evaluation season at work and Broccoli’s teeny-tiny medical emergency (he’s fine), I am unable to bring you a new bird this week. Be kind to yourselves and others, make the mods’ job easy, … Continue reading The WPT was Busy this Week
I’m writing this last night and my lamp just turned off at the exact moment of a Widow’s Bay jump scare and seriously, fuck everything right now. A sentiment also applicable to politics. Be nice to each other today, be … Continue reading The Friday Politics Thread Says Hell With This

But feeling oh so very tired. The Ham Fam is doing ok. Still missing our buddy, and will forever. Y’all know. Anyway. Do your thing in a kind, cool, and collected manner. No threatening Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else. Give everybody some grace, and give yourself some too. Continue reading Tuesday’s Politics Thread is capable
Howdy, friends. This week we are continuing our occasional survey of South American contingas, with our new subject, the white-tipped plantcutter. Our new little friend weighs merely 30 to 57 g (1.1 to 2.0 oz) and is18 to 19.5 cm (7.1 … Continue reading The WPT is Back on Cotingas
