There’s a cat for everyone, and every cat has its day, and for Elena, today was that day. She has been in the rescue for just over 1 year, and even was adopted and returned once (the original person adopted two cats then decided they could only handle one). But today, it was a perfect match!

Elena, a brown tabby cat, enjoys pets from her new family at the adoption center.

A rare giant at Lake Skadar: The endangered Dalmatian pelican spreads its massive wings. #Montenegro is home to one of the last major colonies of this species in Europe. #BirdOfTheDay #WingsOpenNotFlying #Stunday #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #wildlife #photography #nature #thelittlethings #ECK

A large Dalmatian pelican stands perched on a thick log in the middle of Lake Skadar, Montenegro, viewed from behind with its massive wings spread wide to dry in the sun. The bird's pale, textured plumage catches the light, and its long, iconic beak is turned slightly to the side. Calm blue water ripples in the background.

🪶 Rob has chosen #WingsOpenNotFlying as #BirdOfTheDay theme; birds with their wing open when not flying Alternative is #Blue, birds with blue in their plumage - I’ll go alt with a Blue Tit perched on a small branch in shade #birdphotography #ECK #birds #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #Stunday

A Blue Tit perched on a small, diagonal willow branch, which comes from the bottom right of the shot and ends in the upper left hand corner. The bird is right of centre of the shot, facing the camera with its head turned to the right so the right side of its head is shown.
The bird has a bright blue crown on its head, its cheeks are white with a black/blue border and eye stripe as well as a line under its short bill. Its underbelly is lemon yellow and its back is green with blue on the wings and tail. Its feet are a bluish grey.
The light on the bird is muted a bit but there is still a shadow of a small branch visible down the centre of the bird. There are three other, out of focus branches in the back ground in the top left, and two towards the bottom right. All follow the direction of the branch the bird is in, more or less.
The background is out of focus grass and vegetation, giving a green and white hue.

Absolutely one of my fave bird encounters in this yard, which has provided much birding joy. I scared up this bird earlier in the day and only got a pic of half of it. 😂 It flew of so I continued birding and went back by this area as i headed in. Then this dude popped up. So stoked. 2nd one ever.

A reddish brown backed thrush with hearts on its chest and a great eye ring. It is facing to the left of the frame and sat just like this for about 500 frames! I got some other looks too.

This kind of talk has always seemed to impress certain segments of the political class, but now that he’s imploding, they look like gullible suckers. He’s just a lout, nothing more. He insults people because he isn’t smart enough for anything else. He’ll become more loutish as he circles the drain.

The amount of swag (not including the Corgi) given out at the See Spot Walk fundraiser for the Idaho Humane Society is always crazy. Much of my score will go to a little free dog library near us.

A pile of swag including tote bags, dog treats, a t-shirt, collapsible bowls, a collar, tennis balls, poop bags, and a kibble scoop.

So, here's the thing they can't erase about AI-generated "work" no matter how much they try to cover up the environmental cost of data centers, the theft of human work to feed into the woodchipper, etc.: It's still just faking it. Your AI-written email is a fake email. Your "art" is fake art.
