*The situation in Iran, brought to you from the front lines. On X, and almost nowhere else.

Did you know about the revolution taking place in Iran right now? You didn’t? Why might that be? You say there’s nothing on the news about it? Maybe it didn’t fit the approved legacy media narrative.

They pass laws which privilege leftist schools and teachers over parents, and keep significant information about bodily …

I am proud to introduce Jocelyn Anderson, Bird Photographer

This is a woman whose account I follow on X/Twitter. She posts the most wonderful videos, of her "Hand of Snacks," wherein she holds out her hand full of bird snacks, and they come and eat. She must have an iron arm, because she can hold still for long periods while the birds come to …
