Dear Democratic Party,

It is 2024. I was born in 1980. Why the fuck do you have James Carville of all fucking people texting a push poll at me?

Chilly Regards,

Feeling a bit better. It's really pretty here.

The crow.

I was out for a walk with Ben and Charlie, when I noticed what looked like a large bird in a bare tree across a field. Initially, I didn't know what it was and hoped for a raptor of some sort. But it was an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). This is kind of a minimalist photo; I like the way it looks.

Rishi Sunak investigated by watchdog over 'barefaced lie' asylum backlog has been cleared https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rishi-sunak-investigated-watchdog-over-31800547

It's hard to explain how wild this is until you read the criminal complaint and also start looking at state and local promotion of this tech. Tens of millions of dollars total spent across dozens of cities and towns, police promoting this company, governor proclamations, different towns crediting it for crime reductions.

And then it turns out part of this tech is Dahua cameras used to surveil Uyghur prison camps but with the Dahua logo removed
