President Trump and First Lady have been evacuated from The White House Correspondents Association dinner due to an unspecified security threat. I knew he’d find a way to avoid having his pussy ass roasted.

@StarbrightHQ When they put pictures of missing children on milk cartons it gave me something to read when I finished reading the cereal box.

Staining wood in the early morning is oddly satisfying. I discovered if you have dried stain on your fingers it’s almost impossible to use this keyboard. #DIY

Congratulations Wisconsin! You gave yourselves an entire month to drink beer instead of mowing your lawns. Well played gentleman well played.
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature
In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring. Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut. Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks. Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail. Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming. The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days. Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?

@TheJvandy I remember those quarries. Probably long since filled in.

@TheJvandy You made me homesick for Minneapolis in January. Imagine what you’re doing to me now. I want to rollerblade around one of your beautiful lakes avoiding duck shit on the path while being chased by angry geese. Heaven.

It's probably my favorite time of year to live in Minneapolis. These next few weeks are the city at its peak:
• Days warming up
• Trees greening out
• Wolves playoffs
• Art In Bloom
• May Day
• Doors Open
• Art-a-Whirl
Let's get it.

@MrPitbull07 @batsflywest I think it would be hard to not take it personally if your entire swarm of honey bees up and left you. #bees

Nobody could figure out why the abandoned Hendricks apple orchard suddenly bloomed in April 2019. The trees hadn't produced fruit in eleven years. County agriculture office sent two inspectors. They found sixty thousand honeybees working the property - a massive colony that had escaped from Tomás Vega's apiary three miles south. Tomás had reported the swarm missing in March. He expected them dead. Instead they'd colonized the hollow barn on the Hendricks lot and cross-pollinated every surviving tree. That October, the orchard produced twenty-two tons of Cortland apples. The Hendricks family offered Tomás a permanent lease. He moved his entire operation there the following spring.

@khalil_spencer @NMHouseGOP You’re much more polite than me. I’ll work on it. 🐟

@abqDean @NMHouseGOP That is a fair statement. Let the voters decide. This kicking her off the ballot was fishy from the start.
English
The Supreme Court has restored Rep. Rebecca Dow to the GOP primary ballot.
The result is simple: thousands of voters now have their voice and their choice back in this race.
New Mexico Democrats’ attempt to remove a candidate over failures in the state’s own system has been rejected. Their push to sideline voters and cement control has failed.
Now the decision goes back where it belongs, to the voters.

It’s taken a long time to remember the name of this rocket. Without googling I think it’s Honest John. Let me know if I guessed wrong.

When someone in New Mexico gives directions by saying “you can’t miss it” they usually aren’t lying.

@khalil_spencer @NMHouseGOP Gotta agree with you on this one too. Let her lose fair and square like every other toxic Republican in New Mexico.

@NMHouseGOP Yep. Sometimes I actually agree with you folks! This smelled fishy from the start.

I hope my neighbors across the street enjoy watching me open and close my new garage door over and over as much as I do. It moves and sounds like a shuttle bay door on the Enterprise. It’s so cool. 🖖

@valdrblindi @MoundLore But without Mt. Rushmore South Dakota will only have the Mitchell Corn Palace and Wall Drug. Even rebranding the Badlands as the Nicelands hasn’t worked.

It really is insane just how fucking ugly and out of place this vandalism of a beautiful natural wonder is when you arent hyperzoomed in on it to make it look like it takes up the whole mountain

@IHateMyXHandle @Astrophysicslad They found Voyager in Star Trek The Motion Picture so don’t tell me anything is impossible.
English
@Astrophysicslad The problem is that Voyager moves so slowly. I think when I did the math it would take like 70k years just to get to the nearest star and anyone that close would be able to see us anyway. There is no way an alien civilization would find Voyager before seeing us first.
English
Has no one in Hollywood ever explored a movie about the Voyager spacecraft, where an alien civilization discovers the Golden Record, deciphers its messages, and follows it back to Earth to make contact with humanity?
That would be absolutely incredible to watch.

I told you so! I told you so! For ten fucking years I told you so! Republicans are the stupidest most gullible clod hoppers on Earth. I can’t say this enough. I fucking told you so!
