My New Years resolution for 2026 is to work harder to get out the vote, continue to fight racism and misogynoir & to continue posting daily about Puerto Rico, and the impact of Hurricane Melissa on the Caribbean. Thank you all. I hope you can find some happy spaces this year.

One of the world's most capable prosecutors (Jack Smith) and the smoking gun conclusion: 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. How can this be left to stand? Is the United States just another shithole country (as Trump likes to say)?? Will Nov. '26 be a farce?

Happy New Year to all the wonderful BlueSkyers I have met on here. You have kept me sane during an insanely disturbing and stressful year! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Insanity beyond all measure. This would destroy billions of dollars of research and decades of research people spent their entire careers on.

There was a time when owning books was a privilege. People wrote rhymes in them warning against theft. Late C17th examples include 'Steal not this book for fear of shame. For in it you see the owner's name. And if I catch you by the tail. You must prepare for Newgate jail.'

Happy Birthday Mr. Diaz! You can follow him on Substack! #OscarWao

First walk out with the new camera, an OM System OM-3. I had the 12-60mm Leica lens on, so helpful that some big and close birds were around. The weather proofing also put through its paces. A Great Egret, doing a double-take and swinging its neck back from something it nearly missed. #Birds 🪶

Well, yes, Gerard Barron revealed his character in crisis: charlatan, and sycophant of the Trump Administration. Corporate propaganda is his strong suit, and it looks like your publication took the bait.

It turns out character really is revealed in a crisis—we hope with readable, riveting and occasionally humorous results. Here, Maclean’s top interviews of the last 12 months. https://macleans.ca/best-of/top-10-interviews-2025/
