U.S. Army veteran Matt Zeller goes off on MSNBC about Biden’s remarks on Afghanistan:
Zeller: “I feel like I watched a different speech than the rest of you guys. I was appalled.”

If you know who killed the individual and have probable cause-Post the picture of the assailant so those that live near and work downtown can assist & be safe in our neighborhoods. @fspielman @dstru312 @CWBChicago chicago.suntimes.com/2021/6/…
The degree of abstraction induced by motion and darkness result in the presentation of something like a public Rorschach test, in which opposing factions "see" evidence for their values/prejudice--not acknowledging not seeing what either party saw. #CPD #Shooting #Bodycam #Toledo

April 7, 2021: I found a yellow-rumped warbler splashing in the backyard bird bath. Digging in the front yard I uncovered an (unhurt thankfully) eastern American toad. We've run too hot, windy & sunny for early Spring. I'm thankful for rain. #Migration --> allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yell…
April 6, 2021: A yellow-bellied sapsucker stopped in the yard for water, after waiting for a robin, while staring down the dark-eyed juncos who've lingered. March 17 an American red fox passed through, near dusk, snapping at the junco flock. #Migration --> allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yell…
Working on Friday, March 19, I had to make a quick retreat in order to avoid a large tree limb that began to fall prematurely. I myself fell, sprained a foot, & broke 3 toes on the right side. I'm thankful not to have been more seriously hurt. But 9 days later it's still painful.

Noteworthy at news conference that LL & Brown each emphasized female gender of transporting officers, politically messaging equity & restructuring themes of administration, rather than focusing on concern for victim/family & city's increasing violence --> nitter.cf/w_h_thompson/status/13…

Just spent the past hour staging and photographing a gummy bear three-way, which I then turned into a gif and paid actual money to mint to the Ethereum blockchain as an NFT. It can be yours for 3 bajillion cryptomoneys. This is how art works now apparently app.rarible.com/token/0x60f8…
