Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Massachusetts has spent months delaying & denying @boltsmag.org’s public records requests on how many people it has transferred ICE during Trump as part of its formal contract with ICE.
A supervisor of records ruled last week that the state’s denials are improper; we hope to get records soon.

I don't eat at Dunks that much to begin with - mostly if I'm on the road and it's the least bad option - but going MAHA is absolutely the way to get me to keep driving.
The Dunks "Protein Menu" makes me angry. I'm so tired of right-wing coded vibes-only food trends.

Here's a love story of sorts, probably my most low key published story, about a student of multiversal travel essentially having a bit of a Before Sunrise with an ex who isn't his ex (who is from another timeline) in one of many similar NYCs.

It's good to have the legal victories but this is not an admin that believes in rule of law.
NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The government keeps doing it nonetheless.
