Today's Pic of the Day Unrelated to Less and Less is sunrise from the Metra train. A perfect roll-over-and-sleep-late-instead sunrise. But beware because, obviously, Voldemort is nearby.

Today's Pic of the Day Unrelated to Photoshop is an un-doctored or retouched pic (except for a little cropping) of the dawning sky from the Metra platform. When I came up the stairs and saw those clouds and colors, I almost dropped my phone getting it out of my purse before it faded. Bravo nature.

Today's Pic of the Day Unrelated to Law Abiding Citizens Everywhere is a place where, even if I'm innocent (that day), I still feel guilty, because every big court courthouse is made to look as uninviting as Hades on a bad day. I hear our Cuyahoga County Courthouse was a major inspiration for Kafka.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Jews once made up 40% of Baghdad’s population. Today, not a single Jew remains in Iraq.
This is what ethnic cleansing looks like—and it’s a story the world refuses to tell.

Tonight is the sixth night of Hanukkah, yet six of our most precious lights are gone.
Hersh, Ori, Eden, Almog, Alex, Carmel—starved and tortured by Hamas for almost a year only to be cruelly executed in a tunnel.
May we never forget their light 💔
