Why does everyone explaining things use the term bucket instead of category? Are we that stupid now, all of us?

Definitely a large sedge of Sandhill Cranes. I rarely get to use the term "sedge", it's used for when a large group of cranes have gathered and are feeding or are in community together.

These are the at the two farms I frequent to spot migration near the WI River.

Literally thousands of Sandhill Cranes in a Wisconsin farm field just before they took off for the day. The second farm I visit down the road a bit has some green areas that the migrating cranes seem to enjoy. Show is abt 50 cranes of near one thousand at this farm.

"No one had any convictions for murder or rape." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/14/o...
But the government’s own data, provided in a filing posted to the public docket Friday, appeared to show otherwise. Of the 16 arrestees with criminal histories — or about 2.6% of the 614 people — five involved domestic battery, two were related to drunken driving, and one allegedly had an unidentified criminal history in another country. One person was deemed a national security risk, another had a narcotics conviction, and five more had been accused of various forms of battery, including two involving guns, the records indicated. No one had any convictions for murder or rape.

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

what the actual fuck
A headline from the New York Times: Olivia Nuzzi Did It All For Love The article lede: By Jacob Bernstein Reporting from Los Angeles Nov. 14, 2025 Updated 12:07 p.m. ET Olivia Nuzzi loved him. She loved the politician, even though she was a political reporter and he was then a presidential candidate she had written about. She loved his eyes, "blue as the flame." She loved that "the sight of something as trivial as a rose" could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his "particular complications and particular darkness." But she said "I love you" only after he said it first. He called her "Livvy" and wrote her poems. He said he wanted her to have his baby. He promised to take a bullet for her.

Meanwhile, people unconstitutionally seized or brutalized by ICE agents can’t sue them because there’s no private right of action for them to do that.

Drew a Least Weasel because the name always makes me chuckle...

"Thou art the very least of weasels!"

Yet ounce per ounce, probably one of the most vicious and terrifying predators on the planet (but also deadly cute!)

#art #SciArt
Digital painting of a Least Weasel standing amidst some purple and white crocus flowers which are nearly as big as it is. The weasel is mostly covered in reddish brown fur with white under its chin and along its chest and belly. It has a bit of black at the very tip of its tail. It looks alert and ready for action.

"who radicalized you"

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

I spent Halloween chasing ghosts. Not kids in costumes, or jumpscares in a haunted house. I spent Halloween chasing ghosts of a different kind: careening from one ICE spotting to another. I wrote an essay about it, and about other ghosts we’re chasing. dansinker.com/posts/202…
