The story about the Chinese spy balloon over Montana is very odd - normally these pressurised stratospheric balloons are launched for circumpolar flights in the (normally) stable polar wind vortex. It would make much more sense if this was intended as an arctic observation system that then got carried south. If you wanted to spy on Montana satellites do a better job.

Politicians be like: ‘I believe in this and I believe in that’

They only thing they do is believing but that doesn’t make stuff happen  

Stop believing and make stuff happen

This is so frightening and has been flagged as a right wing goal for some time. And now the “history & tradition” obsession has brought us here. Pay attention colleagues. Please. https://twitter.com/mjs_dc/status/1621241348719345666

The annual timed shave (never done in haste: information, not competition).

After police brutality incidents, the community shouts #BlackLivesMatter. ✊🏾 Then police PR flaks start quacking about cops rescuing ducks to shift focus. And the lapdog media laps it up. Must-read from crime reporter @radleybalko

For police PR flacks, quack lives matter

Police seem to be heroically rescuing baby ducks . . . pretty much everywhere

Can you be 1 of 1000 to speak up for undocumented immigrants? Much love ❤️✊🏽
