Twitter bans an ornithological society for posting photos of "woodcocks" while Melissa gets banned for "Hairy Man"; The Media takes special care to protect the identity of one little jailbird with hilarious results; and, no post is complete without a little butt science.
There is a photo that I can't stop laughing at in this episode - that photo is attached but also a part of this tweet:

Fred Muggs - if your older kids - I’d let Acey listen at 9, are into something like this, it’s clean language, silly, and great hosts. I don’t know the hosts, I have nothing to gain from it - just thought you might like it if you or family like to listen to such things. Check it out first before letting littles listen but I think, and you hear my show - you know what I’m cool with letting my kiddo listen to - it might be a lot more than you’d be ok with, so check it out first.

As promised - this week there was just TOO MUCH to put in a main feed episode. The Unkindness episode was really, really long. This 10-minute tangent was added after the Queen of England died last week and her son, Charles, ascended to the throne, assuming the name "King Charles III", but then promptly had to cut because of time. Also, it didn't fit as well as I had hoped, and I wanted to get to the buffet menu for the ravens.
So, we look at what legacy he's looking to satisfy by taking the name Charles III (eeek, it's not great), and a little more tie-in to Charles' tie-in to environmental issues.

Two sisters combined their love of historically accurate dioramas, the Civil War, and clay-making to pen an ode to the US in one of the most historically significant cities in the United States. They even purchased a building with deep roots in the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg to bring the stories of the dead to life. But, the clay characters aren't human - they are a different species entirely telling the accurate tale of the bloodiest battle of the civil war.
