Fun legal fact of the day: Florence, OR, where federal agents famously (and illegally) used a thermal imager to detect Danny Kyllo's grow operation in 1992, is the the same oceanfront community that, in 1970, famously (and disastrously) tried to dispose of a beached whale carcass using dynamite.

Tallie: walked around Pike Place market & Seattle waterfront, got home and played soooooo much fetch & did nosework practice. Played w neighbor kid. Still thinks it’s time for Zoomies around the kitchen island.
I feel like this is classic “be careful if you think you want a herding dog” territory 😂

Yup.

A few months ago, I pointed out that part of the reason for ICE employees covering their faces, was that some of them were likely government contractors and not law enforcement, and so has no legal authority to detain.

People that know nothing about criminal justice reform yelled at me.🤷🏿‍♂️

The Supreme Court is about to decide whether private contractors can break the law—and get away with it.

After being sued under state human trafficking laws for forcing immigrant detainees to work for free, the nation’s largest private prison company, GEO Group, wants blanket immunity.

if they have the ginger, that's also great! super handy to have for stir fries or recipes that want you to add ginger.

It's WAY better. I found it originally at Trader Joe's freezer section but I've now seen it at several grocery stores in Seattle.
So each "cube" is 1 clove. You just look at the recipe where it says like "3 cloves" and adjust (that would be like 4-5 cloves for us) and pop out that many cubes.

Jerry the real life pro tip is Dorot frozen minced garlic. Doesn't get bitter like pre-peeled cloves, lasts forever in the freezer (not that ours ever is in there long...) AND you also don't have to mince. 😇

fuzzbrain is fast asleep in a sunny spot by the door

A fluffy Sheltie lies fast asleep on a smooth concrete floor, nestled against the corner of a wall by a purple door. Soft daylight filters through the frosted glass, casting a gentle glow around the resting dog’s fur. Its long mane fans out in relaxed waves, perfectly capturing a moment of peaceful afternoon rest.

Yeah. We need more VCs who like privacy but I guess that's so far a hard market to target for lots of growth.

Do I get blasé about this being 5 minutes straight downhill from our house? Yes. Far too much.

A bi-black Shetland Sheepdog walks along a dirt path under the shade of a large tree at Loman Beach Park. The dog’s leash extends forward as it heads toward the sunlit grass and sparkling water in the distance. The morning light filters through the green leaves, casting soft shadows across the vibrant lawn.

The same bi-black Sheltie sits on the grass near the water’s edge at Loman Beach Park, facing the camera with a relaxed, curious expression. Behind the dog, the sunlight shimmers across the blue water with driftwood scattered along the shoreline. The Olympic Mountains rise faintly in the distance under a bright, cloudless sky.

that is some AMAZING head-on-the-floor! Tallie does that sometimes too, I always wonder why shelties do this. My husband says it's cooling for their extra-large brains 😂

Honestly, they should show the video half-screen, on mute, overlayed with a discussion of the Hatch Act as well as relevant local/state ordinances.

Airports across the country are grappling with whether to play a video featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, who is shown blaming congressional Democrats for the shutdown of the federal government and travel delays.

Some airports refuse to play a Homeland Security video blaming Democrats for government shutdown. Here’s what the SLC airport decided.

I am a huge fan of Grover Garner’s narration of the Vorkosigan Saga. It’s so warm and engaging and it makes long drives much better.
