The snowy owls sitting on Montrose Pier this foggy morning. The Chicago Park District has closed the pier’s far end to keep people from getting too close.

The worst game of MadLibs ever...
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Well, these images have done the viral circuit, and are now at the spot where people are accusing them of being AI.
Bummer to those folks: they are not AI. These are real photographs, made with my mirrorless cameras.
Media literacy sure is lost on so many people, it's quite sad.
