Roseate Spoonbill couple tidy up their nest with a bit of plants. It was fun to watch one of them, I presume the male, grab this from one side of the enclosure and go back to their nest where the partner delightedly placed it to their liking in the nest.

LIVE: Iran vows to retaliate over US attacks; Trump warns of regime change
Israel and Iran continue to trade attacks as US President Donald Trump hints at possible regime change in Tehran.Joseph Stepansky (Al Jazeera)
She’s all too willing to stand up and speak out 100% against her own best interests and judgement. To eat shit and argue the official stance with conviction regardless her personal stance.
It makes me wonder how much (if at all) she argues her personal stance.
How do you argue against someone who very well may agree with you but is willing to assert the opposite of their potential beliefs so strongly and purposefully?

At the top, there is a status bar showing the time as 23:19, a Wi-Fi signal, full battery at 90%, and a temperature of 25 degrees. Below the status bar, there is a text description of a live session booting into the Cinnamon desktop. The wallpaper is dark blue and purple with a logo resembling a yin-yang symbol inside the Windows logo. A Conky status panel is in the upper-right corner, and Cinnamon's panel is at the bottom.

In about half an hour (7 MST) we will inflict a #monsterdon on the fediverse.
Watch with us (see #MonsterdonAlert) or you have no chance to survive make your time. (You can make your time by muting the hashtag, Preferences -> Filters -> Add New Filter in the Mastodon web UI, for example.)
We are watchin a 70s movie about a ragtag band of rebels who are trying to take down some manner of evil galactic empire using the power of laser swords. It is DEFINITELY NOT STAR WARS (1977) we are watching a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT move that has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Star Wars, you can tell because it is called Starcrash (1978 or 1979 I dunno I guess this movie is so epic that it took to years to come out), which is a very different name, look there is not even a space after the word "Star"
I am declaring, with permission from absolutely no one at all, that there will be an afterparty where we watch the deleted scenes, which I'm sure will reveal once and for all that Deckard really is a replicant. Deleted scenes are at: archive.org/details/starcrash_…
