Thank god for my wife and son, but I feel really fucking alone right now.
I feel you. I've got a huge extended family that I never kept up with too much after I moved away for school. My sister does though, and it sounds like they are about 90% Trumpy.
My wife, sister and brother are all fortunately on the right side of history, as are all of my friends, but my parents just can't seem to get it. I've tried avoiding politics with them, but I just can't any longer. They should be smart enough, and raised me in a way that would indicate they aren't callous enough to continue supporting this evil administration. Yet here we are...

Yea, they definitely didn't assault police officers prior to that. The congresspeople were hiding for fun. And that security guard who lured the mob away had nothing to fear from dozens of angry goons chasing him through the Capitol. Fuck off.

I’m considering reaching out to a bunch of extended family and basically telling them: if you still support this guy, you are a Nazi, you can fuck off, you have lost all of my respect, and you are out of my life.
I've been back and forth with my parents, who are the only Trump-supporting friends or family that I routinely communicate with, for basically the last year. It appeared that at least my mother recognized her mistake, but as is so often the case with these people, they start backtracking and making excuses.
After hearing my dad argue how Maduro liberated Venezuela for the people, I didn't give them the chance to argue for the ICE agent's actions in this case. I basically told them "This administration is making my life miserable, and will make your grandchildren's lives miserable too if something doesn't change. Not to mention the people being kidnapped and shot in the face by government agents. The government you voted for is continuously lying to you about their evil deeds. Do better."
I'm pretty much to the point where if they can't commit to doing everything in their power to unseat this administration I do not need to see them anymore, and neither do my kids. You still don't see how Trump's presidency is negatively affecting you personally? Well grow old without being a part of your grandchildren's lives. How about that?

I was shaking as I drove to pick my kids up right after seeing this story. Between Maduro, the Greenland threats, the January 6 revisionism and now this, not to mention the beating we've all endured the last year, I'm angrier than I've ever been.
The future looks incredibly bleak and we have our fucking moronic friends, family and fellow citizens to blame.

Back again. My dear wife ended up getting my son a 3-gallon tank with a beta before I had the opportunity to fishless cycle. For the last month, it has looked like this...
Ive been adding stability a couple times per week (which I did daily for the first week after setup), and have been doing about 35% water changes weekly. I keep an eye on feedings, so I don't think uneaten pellets is a huge problem. I'm guessing some sort of algae or bacterial bloom due to lack of doing the proper cycling.
Any advice on clearing the water up?

I'm not great in that department, but #1 is always native plants, especially those that attract soft-bodied insects like caterpillars. A bird bath with moving water can be helpful and a big draw. As far as feeders, I imagine the Audubon web page would have some information. Wild Birds Unlimited is a great for feeders and food, as well as information. I think their website may also be helpful for tips on getting started.

JD going with the tough guy act for some reason.
I wonder who would be more likely to deny Vance's kids jobs, those who support Ro Khanna or Nick Fuentes? We may never know.
This administration is littered with people who embody the worst traits of humanity.
Trump- Narcissistic
Miller- Evil
Vance- Power-hungry
Bessent- Greedy
Patel- Stupid
Noem- Vain
Rubio- Cowardly
Bondi- Cunty
Obviously there are more and plenty of overlap, but they are all so irredeemably awful.

Dude, nobody gives a shit if Clinton goes down because the Epstein Files expose him. But if he is the only one deemed worthy of not being redacted? Even you can find a couple brain cells to rub together and realize that is bullshit.

I did another Mini-Big Day in Round Rock Wednesday, from about 8-3. Not the greatest timing weather-wise, but I was able to manage 75 species.
Highlights included a Great Horned Owl roosting in the daylight at my neighborhood park, a quick glimpse of a Sora in the reeds at Old Settlers Park and a suprise pair of Barn Swallows hunting insects over the pond, quite rare in winter.
Lowlights were the complete absence of uncommon wintering birds, as well as scarcity of "common" wintering birds. This is the 2nd year in a row these birds have been way down. I'm blaming climate change.

Next year seems like it will be very unpredictable with the 30% or whatever of roster turnover outside of exhausted eligibility. This shit is insane.
