CNN amuses and confuses me.

They’re having a misinformation report coming out on Sunday that covers January 6th and what they call a “Luigi Mangione fan club”

Based on the interview with the reporter, he has made a few questionable assumptions:

1. Luigi support comes from the left exclusively
2. The sympathy for Luigi is equal to support for January 6 insurrection, and hypocritical.

I don’t think those are correct assumptions, frankly.

We have predicted for some time that if we don’t stop health insurance from bankrupting Americans when they’re most vulnerable, we will see vigilantism.

I think the desperation of the sick and poor supersedes the delusion of people who think our system of voting is bullshit just because they lost.

I cannot agree with the implied equal sign that reporter put between these two groups.

I think they’ve been told to do journalism in a certain way that is almost more abstractly mathematical than fact based. Kind of more “let’s cut that baby in half, cuz that’s fair.”

According to that school of journalism, It’s always balanced, it’s always half, and if it isn’t, then we shall make it so.

What a world.

I have two stories that are 100% true but unprovable on my end.

I saw Denzel Washington and his wife on a public bus in #Sacramento. I was too star struck and confused to take a picture or do anything that could have proven this.

I saw a #Tesla parked at the US Department of State government building here in LA with plates that had only 4 letters 'MUSK' a week later Elon 'came out' as a #republican.

Sometimes life is #strange when you start noticing things.

Bronze-winged Jacana (Metopidius indicus) is a wader, found across South and Southeast Asia. Like other jacanas it forages on lilies and other floating aquatic vegetation. They are solitary, male jacanas care for their young by themselves, while females mate with multiple partners. Calls are a wheezy piping sound. Males maintain territories, with one male in the harem chosen to incubate the eggs and take care of the young. When threatened, young chicks may be carried to safety by the male under his wings.

Here's an old light switch that's in the basement of a house across the street from us. It works like any light switch. Click it one way and it’s dark. Click it the other way and the light's on.

Notice anything odd about it?

(Does anyone know why it would be this way? It's cast metal so it's seems like an unlikely mistake.)

A photo of an old metal cast light switch, in an old basement. Weirdly, *both* switch settings are labelled “ON”.

The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum), also known as the African crowned crane, golden crested crane, along with others is a bird in the crane family. It is found in nearly all of Africa, especially in eastern and southern Africa. They are the only crane species known to roost in trees, a behavior that sets them apart from other crane species. During the breeding season, they engage in a spectacular mating dance that involves jumping, bowing, and making low, booming calls while inflating their red gular sacs. Their chicks are precocial, meaning they can run and forage for food shortly after hatching.

Flabellinopsis iodinea, the Spanish shawl, is a species of aeolid nudibranch, a very colorful sea slug. Native to the west coast of North America and further south. It feeds on specific hydroids, acquiring its bright colors from carotenoid pigments in its prey. The orange color of the cerata may serve as both camouflage while feeding and a warning to predators that they are distasteful. While primarily a crawler, the Spanish shawl can also swim by flexing its body and pushing off from the substrate. They have both female and male reproductive organs but can't self-fertilize. The red rhinophores are sensory structures used for detecting the presence of possible mates and prey.
