The only downside is that there’s pretty much no signal in the forest. We chose the route: Prairie Creek Visitor Center 👉 Miners Ridge Trail 👉 Fern Canyon Trail 👉 Gold Bluffs Beach.

Honestly, not far off from how some policies look at first glance—romantic from a distance, corporate branding up close. Still made me laugh though.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Interesting to see these proposals being quietly pulled or voted down. Maybe some folks are starting to realize that fighting DEI isn’t as marketable as they hoped — especially when your brand operates in 100+ countries.

Economic freedom means very little when families can't afford housing, health care, or education. Markets are powerful — but without guardrails, they leave people behind.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

The order marks a win for the Trump administration, even if temporary, and it could well be a harbinger of things to come as the administration continues to clash with federal courts.

The term "conservative" no longer applies to the Trump Republican Party and is an absolute misnomer and should not be used by media. There's nothing "conservative" about "move fast and break things." It's absurd to call modern Republicans "conservative."
