The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Always one of my favorite moose photos. I had been getting some nice photos and she'd been ignoring me as best she could but, moose are kinda very private animals and she finally straightened up and gave me a look.

Spent all day working across QGIS, R, and ArcMap trying to join attributes by location for a single, albeit large, dataset. In the end, R provided, but what a waste of time.

I like the announcement that the kings cancer treatment was being reduced (is that because he’s terminal or better?) immediately followed the one that Andrew would not be investigated for alleged smearing of an Epstein victim. Well played Royal Family.

This is the Sunburst Candy Spider from Thailand. Not AI (sucks to have to declare this). Very real and had been on my wish list for a long time.
