Yep- Trump just called Gov Pritzker "a big, fat slob" during the traditional White House Turkey pardoning. And then went on to say he never calls people names.
Not only that, uses this occasion to bloviate about his administration's accomplishments.

Birds from unusual angles ... hmmm ... does hanging in mid-air without wings count, as demonstrated by this bionic chickadee?

Let’s start today with a hand finished Lino print of a Wren. It says on my website sold out but I found two copies of this print in my plan chest and one of them is even in a frame. Websites, I just don’t understand them, and where has the E gone from the end of the word quince?

Painting of six figures are standing in a semi-circle on a grassy field. Five of the figures have fox heads and fur but human-like bodies and attire (shorts or skirts and shoes). One figure in the centre-left is a bird with speckled plumage and human-like legs and shoes. The figures are in a field with a line of bare trees in the background under a heavily overcast, grey sky. A small, blue and white toy drum lies on the grass in the foreground.
