Incredible. A female falcon was equipped with a satellite tracking system in South Africa before migrating to Finland. Image shows tracker data. In just 42 days she flew over 10.000km at an incredible average of 230 km per day and almost in a straight line.

Fun fact: a blue whale’s anus can stretch to approximately three and a half feet, making them the second largest arseholes on the planet, just behind people who amplify Russian propaganda.

The White House has said that the three objects shot down this week are not alien in origin. Following up, the White House said that the mysterious red weed is nothing to fear, and that everyone should feel perfectly comfortable sticking their faces very close to the large wet eggs that it produces.

Here's a good story that points to scratchy but mostly discernable audio of the interception by F-16s of the "octagon" object over Lake Huron. It's clear it was difficult for the pilots to get a good look at it because it was small and reflecting sunlight, although they believed it was the size of a "four wheeler"? #UFO #UAP https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/listen-to-f-16-pilots-intercept-the-octagon-object-over-lake-huron

The 1619 Project was effective in clearly communicating basic US history to the public. So much so it triggered the CRT backlash.

It is amazing to me that the erasure of Native Americans from American history has been so successful. It is possible for a student to graduate with a high school diploma in Florida and not have a clue about native peoples.

New Amsterdam, New York City, was founded in 1624. Maybe an opportunity to highlight
the history.

If you can drink #alcohol and own a #gun, why not #marijuana ? You read of alcohol involved shootings a few times a week but after a quick Google search, cannot find anything about Marijuana involved shootings.

I am sure one happened. Somewhere. At some time. The Cartels did at one time. No money in it now. It is #fentanyl and #methamphetamine making them the big bucks.

Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules

A federal law prohibiting marijuana users from possessing firearms is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Oklahoma has concluded, citing last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that significantly expanded gun rights.
