Another surprise.
When I first started this hobby, there were a lot of house sparrows and house finches around and I learned to tell the difference between two, or so I thought. What I really did was learn to identify a house finch, once I did that all others were house sparrows. 🙄 This bird is a breeding male.
And I'm out of characters 😠.
"You can find House Sparrows most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and few places where there aren’t. Along with two other introduced species, the European Starling and the Rock Pigeon, these are some of our most common birds. Their constant presence outside our doors makes them easy to overlook, and their tendency to displace native birds from nest boxes causes some people to resent them. But House Sparrows, with their capacity to live so intimately with us, are just beneficiaries of our own success." - allaboutbirds.org

Moon 20230308
The moon finally climbed where I could see it above the tree line.
Moon phase tonight, Waning Gibbous
"As the Moon begins its journey back toward the Sun, the opposite side of the Moon now reflects the Moon’s light. The lighted side appears to shrink, but the Moon’s orbit is simply carrying it out of view from our perspective. The Moon rises later and later each night." - moon.nasa.gov
Funny to see VCs who generally rail against government intervention making the case for a bailout of Silicon Valley Bank now that there's an intervention that would directly help them and their friends.
Socialism for me, capitalism for thee.
Reminds me a bit of the people I know who went from ardent YIMBY to NIMBY the moment they settled down in a neighborhood and bought a house.
Silicon Valley startups: We're libertarian, hate government regulation and oversight, and believe every person and business should be accountable for its own decisions and mistakes.
Also Silicon Valley startups: OMG,
#SVB has failed. The government better do a bailout, and the FDIC must protect all our assets expediently!

A man files a wrongful death suit against the women who helped his ex-wife obtain medication for an abortion. He is seeking $1M in damages.
We are entering the modern day equivalent of the Salem Witch Trials.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
