Article is useful in that it shows that a) Trump is directly involved in these decisions, b) sees them in purely personalist terms - he wants to politicize research grants so he can destroy Harvard for daring to defy him

We were all Americans that day in solidarity and our hearts broke, and here we are 25 years later wondering if the next unprovoked domestic terrorist attack is going to come from our long term allies and friends. It breaks our hearts. This is an important speech from a great Prime Minister.

Wishing Joe Biden peace, comfort, & all the love and care he deserves. 
#Pinks

Former U.S. President Joe Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in May 2025, which had spread to his bones. The disease is in an advanced stage. According to his family and doctors, his treatment and hormone therapy are continuing.
As a Dane, I can say this: the rest of the world sees Biden for who he truly is-a kind and caring human being.
He was a good president.
He is a good human being.
I am deeply sorry for him and his loved ones.

A good day in Ohio, I left my camera in the car, so I got good looks at over a dozen warbler species! And some surprises like an out of range Glossy Ibis. Some of my cell phone shots.
A Blackpoll Warbler. Called that for having a black noggin. He also has wee bright orange legs which aren’t really visible in this terrible picture 
A Bay-Breasted Warbler. Bay is a deep reddish colour that is also used to describe horses with a similar colouration. I’m sure ornithologists thought that that was very relatable.A Prothonotary Warbler, it’s in the shade, so it’s hard to see that it’s so yellow, It looked like someone shoved a yellow light up its ass. I have no fucking clue what Prothonotary means. I did have to teach several people how to say it today. A Chestnut-nut sided warbler, chestnut being another describer of a reddish brown color. There are a lot of those in nature so they kind of really have to stretch for those terms. It’s hard to see in my crap cell phone picture but these guys have a bright yellow cap like someone spilled some yellow paint on the top of their head or the bird had lost a bet and had to wear a goofy yellow hat.

I saw a couple of hot jacked guys today dressed in tight shorts, boots, cowboy/outback style hats and bare chests with black harnesses. With binoculars. At a birding hot spot. They would not have looked out of place at fetish gear party. Have I missed a new birding trend?

I’m out by a scrubby field for the peenting hour, like the midnight hour, but cooler. I can hear my buddy and he has gone up twice but I have only seen a silhouette. I don’t know if using a headlamp or flashlight would disturb him. Although the field is beside a brightly lit parking lot.

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal. Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
