Squirrel ears are not
quite like snowflakes, but many
are fairly distinct.

The power of photography.

It’s poignant going through old family photos. These are my cousin’s pics as he’s moved into a care home. And here is young me with my dear sister, who died a few years ago. (We’re going to miss having physical photos in future…)

Fox squirrel in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. She is standing tall in mulch - no doubt thinking that there should be No Kings in the USA.

George Santos filed fraudulent FEC reports, embezzled funds from donors, stole identities for theft, charged credit cards without authorization, fraudulently obtained unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress.

Santos is not a "rogue." Like you, Donald, he is a criminal who's getting off easy.

After a period of recovery and growth postpandemic, international tourism to the U.S. is declining – by an expected 6.3% this year. For most foreign travelers, especially those from Canada, rhetoric could have something to do with it.

Why is international travel to the U.S. falling?

U.S. Travel forecasts a 6.3% decrease in inbound international visits to the U.S. for 2025.

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

I do not see this as the same thing as January 6th - this is just like the Tea Party protests. Just people gathering and protesting actions of the government. There was no violence in those protests (that I can remember). Lots of bad fashion decisions however....

Reminded me of
those wax teeth on Halloween.
Looking good, squirrel!

Young fox squirrel standing tall in the grass at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Finding a good picture in a group is the one that you like the most. It is not perfect, but if it speaks to you, then it is worth saving and sharing.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.
