One of several important global stories that US media have chosen to ignore is the final crushing of Turkish democracy by the Turkish Padișah, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Apparently it's just another sign of the times, likely to arrive on these shores in just a few more weeks.

American larch
Also known as the tamarack, this deciduous conifer is native to New York and can be found in the Adirondacks, as well as in swamps and up slopes in the mountains. It has needles that turn yellow before falling, and in the winter it has cones but no needles.

I’m having trouble imagining the 🍊💩 ever watching holiday movies with his family. Or for that matter, anything that remotely resembles what average families do around the holidays. Have they baked cookies? Decorated a tree? Wrapped gifts? Wore matching PJs? I’m thinking not. Elf said it best.
