@rbreich This is disgraceful, surely against all the laws [if there are any left]. Literally kidnapping a Democratic official in plain sight. They are not identifying themselves, and are wearing masks etc, and produced no warrant of any kind, and no official identification of any kind.

#BradLander - people need to start unmasking these ICE/police scoundrels. Enough of that crap. Abolish them and unmask them.

Lander, a New York City Comptroller, simply asked Federal agents for a judicial warrant. And he got arrested.

Keep track of anyone abetting this crap.

russia blocked all efforts for peace. This war continues because of russia's unprovoked and criminal aggression. We must not forget this and must press forward to achieve peace."

Does anyone know of a good way to beg the Sharp Displays people to make a laptop-sized version of their ultra-low-power, outdoor-readable 1-bit memory displays?

There a few times in life (after you have the baby) when Lamaze breathing really comes in handy, and one of them is for when you thought "hey I'll put some of this Habanero pepper jelly all over my toast"

At least my sinuses are clear

I’m sure this is totally legit. I should just respond with my bank info.

The first one I saw this year
#firefly
Feeling really good about my choice to leave all the leaf litter from last year
@dillyd That's so cool! Congrats!

@dillyd heck yes!!!

I'm never gonna rake my yard, ever :D

@dillyd Not so much.
@dillyd Don't care fir them so much. But good to know. Learning is the way forward to peace.
@Blanco
I grew up with lots of them and I've always loved them. I don't see them so much here but I guess they're also less present even where i grew up.
@dillyd Yes, of course. Guilty of capturing them in jars. Can't believe I was so cruel. Right, don't see them anymore, weird.
@dillyd sparkle friend!

@dillyd

We just saw our first a couple days ago, no pictures though.

Yay light bright friends πŸ’‘

@dillyd i saw my first firefly of the year just now too!
@dillyd Ha? I've never heard anyone mention seeing a firefly except when it's luminescing, thanks!
@ChristineMalec yay they're really nice looking insects even in the daytime
@dillyd we have synchronous ones here that all blink together. My favorite preserve will be glad to take you out and show you them for like $250/person for a couple hours. . .πŸ˜‚ or you can just walk out into the woods at night
@chrisnelsonsdog
I never heard of the synchronous kind, sounds really cool
@dillyd there are a lot of really neat fireflies, there are some blue ones in the southeast end of the state, but they're more common further into the mountains.
@dillyd I have still never seen one ! One day.
