The executive director of World Press Photo said this image shows the inconsolable grief of children losing their father in a place built for justice. It is a stark and necessary record of family separation following the U.S. reform policies. n.pr/4d0E5EA

Thawed out a Sous vide rib eye while walking the dogs. Trying these cute mini potatoes steamed in this funny looking but useful steamer. Potato’s topped with sheep/goat cheese and olive oil. So pretty before mixing. So tasty after. Spinach onion balsamic walnut cranberry goat cheese salad.

Good morning! This tiny “snow fairy” is actually one of the most magical little birds on the planet - the long-tailed tit! In winter, they puff up so much they look like floating snowballs with wings. Photography by @y.odamon

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

I know we are in dark times, but one can always draw comfort by watching Uncle Roger react in horror to celebrity European and American chefs as they ignore the timeless verities of making fried rice. My wife still randomly comes up to me and says, "You hear sizzling? I hear my ancestors crying."

The joyful, wonder-filled Artemis scenes contrast with our nation's leaders, people who have ascended to the pinnacles of power & wealth—and yet couldn’t day-to-day be more miserable, a fact that they all collectively broadcast with every fiber of their being. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

You could add Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush to this list as well.

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
