Falco supremacy. Buteos and Accipiters do not interact. I’m just here to chill on power lines. Love my slightly larger but less colourful wife.

If Obama had issued an executive order renaming Mount Rushmore to Old Cracker Hill I don't think the Google execs would have leapt to comply like with the Gulf of America shit

Like the fact that arbitrarily renaming major geographical features by Twitter poast was not a power US president's ever had until our corporate and media establishment just decided Trump could
Google did not have to change Google Maps to comply with Trump's order. This is a choice they are making, pretending that they are removing themselves from controversy while actually inserting themselves in the centre.

There are any number of procedural hurdles they could invent to slow-walk this.

"What"

It's the beginning of a sentence. "What glory we have heard of the spear danes! Folk kings of old!"

"Hwæt" is improperly rendered as an exclamation, but "Hwæt" is not an interjection in old English. If the Beowulf poet mean "ecce!" he would have written "efne nū."
If you were asked to translate Beowulf into modern English, how would you translate ‘Hwæt’?

A #DrawSteel commission I did for MCDM in which we applied each of the 21 kits to their iconic Wode Elf Shadow, Gwyllith.

Looks like I don't have to worry about needing a tail bracer on my suet feeder for the Hairy Woodpeckers (Leuconotopicus villosus)

The last photo, also from today, shows a Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) for a size comparison
