Ambon White-eye

A small songbird with a conspicuous white eye-ring, a green face and upperparts, a bright yellow throat, a white belly, and a yellow base to the undertail. Pairs and small groups occur in the lowlands in forest, edge, sparsely wooded areas, and gardens. Restricted to Ambon, except for a few records from Seram. Separated from Warbling and Lemon-bellied White-eyes by its white belly, and from Seram White-eye by its green face and forecrown. Song comprises a rapid, pleasant warble. Also gives penetrating “tzew” notes.

Took a bunch of teenagers doing summer camp at the New York Times (????) on an internet walking tour and bless the one teenager who thought the whole thing was so incredible and didn't try to act too cool

Would I prefer Bernie Sanders hold the mantle of most cantankerous "give me a break" president? Sure. But the Biden "give me a break" is undeniable

Show thread

It is possible to disagree with many of Joe Biden's political choices and also admit few presidents have said the phrase "give me a break" with greater disdainful conviction

USB-C is so eco friendly, it stops all of those chargers ending up in landfills don't you know!
Meanwhile: People are filling landfills with otherwise perfectly fine laptops and Nintendo Switches and phones because said USB-C ports aren't on flyleads internally and require advanced level soldering skills and a fuck-ton of equipment and countless different ports to hand to use as replacement because they're only the same connector externally.
This is one of my biggest greenwashing tech grumbles

Another reason to call and email your reps. They need to hear from us now that trans rights are not a bargaining chip.
