Royal Flycatcher (genus Onychorhynchus)

This bird is being properly held in the photographers grip and is not being antagonized into doing this threat display. Flycatcher are well known in the banding world for being difficult to photograph, as they love to be dramatic about literally anything. It's most likely this video was the last thing that happened to this bird before being released.

(I'm not affiliated with the banding station that captured this bird, just a bird bander myself and want to reassure people the bird is indeed fine)

Pretty effective defense display given that if I saw a bird do that I would definitely fucking LEAVE. What kind of Pan's Labyrinth shit is that?!

I was in my senior high school English class when the principal announced this news on the school PA system. Our teacher started crying, and the nine of us students cheered. Our teacher said that she was horrified by our lack of respect for Reagan. One of the other students replied that we were horrified by Reagan’s lack of respect for anyone other than his rich white friends. She never forgave us for it.

Rare w from politicians in Stockholm: they're fucking pissed at the US embassy for anti-DEI demands

Idk how to explain to non-swedish speakers how ANGRY one of these guys are but he's basically telling them to fuck off. Made my day

Stockholmstoppen rasar: ”Klåpare som sitter i Vita huset”

– Helt oacceptabelt, säger stadsbyggnadsborgarrådet Jan Valeskog (S). Hans oppositionskollega håller med. – Det är ärligt talat rätt puckat,

I should add that the angry dude is conservative.

This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants

[serozvero]

Well, now I'm a Gilbert fan. That sly villainous grin and squint…

“We met on a dating site twelve years ago. I sent her a message saying: ‘I want to let you know up front that I’m in a wheelchair, because I can’t hide it.’ And she wrote back: ‘Why? Is it bright yellow?’”
