even north korea thinks america is weird about its flag

i had an old st georges cross which at various times was used as an actual flag, a beach towel, a skirt (that was a weird night) and ended its life being used to block up an air vent while i was doing some diy, then i threw it in the bin

if a fair chunk of america had its way i'd have ended up in prison multiple times for doing that to your flag

those americans, am i rite?

so apparently people who actually live near bald eagles hate them. i have it on good word that residents of alaska regularly have to call the cops to break up eagle parties when they find some particularly good trash

I just realized a goony thing I like to do: tell people that the bald eagle is a poo poo bird and that jefferson wanted the turkey because it is self reliant or something.

"For my part," he declared, "I wish the eagle had not been chosen as the representative of this country. He is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly. You may have seen him perched in some dead tree where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labor of the fishing hawk and, when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish and is bearing it to his nest for his young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes the fish. With all this injustice, he is never in good case."

The fact they're protected helped make DDT illegal, so in my opinion they're okay. They will claw the poo poo out of your car though.

DDT is very safe for humans. maybe slightly carcinogenic, maybe maybe hormonally disruptive. people pretty much used to bathe in without ill effects.

it completely wrecks top level predator birds eggs though.

If you compare human toxicity for DDT it's probably a hell of lot safer than DEET or Citronella.

e: welp Citronella is well studied and really safe.

the reason DDT deserves a ban is that it wrecks top level predators and has an extremely long half-life in ecosystems. it did save a lot of lives in fighting malaria.

i had always heard it was ben franklin who wanted turkey instead of eagle. but he's kind of the cool uncle of early america, so he probably gets credit for plenty of things he might not have actually done
