Hot off the heels of #SotMUS2026, we also have full historical coverage of I-90 in #Wisconsin thanks to Pilgerobst, as well as the highways around #SanAntonio thanks to @CharliePlett. The road map is starting to look a little less blank!
The Large Yellow Underwing Moth (Noctua pronuba) has a subtle beauty, I think it is its texture. The velvety eyes and feather-like scales on its thorax and abdomen. It is a non-native insect, and its caterpillars feed at the base of plants, making it a garden pest. #moths #insects #wisconsin

Never underestimate the power of human creativity - even if that creativity involves how people accidentally start deadly wildfires:

Thomas Tiffany is the Republican candidate for governor in Wisconsin and I've already been seeing way too many commercials supporting his candidacy.

He is an election denier. He still thinks Trump should have won the 2020 election.

He voted in the US House of Representatives AGAINST certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victories in Arizona and Pennsylvania over false claims of mass voter fraud. This was disproven repeatedly by investigations at the time.

He later said he would have voted AGAINST certifying Wisconsin’s election results if he had the opportunity.

If he becomes governor, he will be in a position to appoint other election deniers as officials to oversee the state’s elections.
