WHO is excited for Superb Owl weekend? 🦉

These owls from the Library's Japanese prints and drawings collection don't seem that thrilled, actually, although it's sure to be a hoot.

They're enthusiastic about Bad Bunny, but they may not understand that he's a man, not a delicious small mammal.

USPS blue mailboxes are stamped with year of manufacture. This is one of the oldest ones I've seen in a while. I am lots of fun at parties.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Well worth reading!
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Here, in NH (USA east coast). We got about 16-17 inches but roads are clear (ish) Everyone has to go out before next weekend when we’re supposed to get another foot, so the cars are cleared and business is picking up in grocery stores etc
Everywhere I look in my neighborhood, every car is still covered with snow because nobody has even tried to go anywhere in the last two days.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

From The Globe and Mail, a Canadian publication: “There's a new corollary to Occam's Razor; it's called Occam's Kazoo. It says that, when trying to assign a reason for anything Trump does, the stupidest explanation is always right.”
