  • I had a similar experience hiking in Utah. And it’s probably totally pedestrian. Got up to this area and noticed there were little yellow jackets flying around, except they were BLUE and black. I was immediately captivated, because you don’t see blue animals much (I love bluejays).

    Maybe it’s a common thing, but I was blown away. Growing up in the southeastern US, we had little bee-like “yellow jackets,” but I’m pretty sure they weren’t the wasps that Google images returns for the term. They’re smaller and more round and fuzzy, like a tiny bee. That’s what this was. Same exact color/black/color/black pattern, but the yellow was blue. I’d never seen a blue and black one before and still haven’t found an exact image match. It felt a little magical, particularly in such a pretty area.











  • It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to “play the game” as they’ve always known it.

    Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

    But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can’t make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:
