The San Francisco skyline is represented by the top of the Salesforce Tower. The East side of the Bay Bridge disappears as it approaches Yerba Buena Island with only the Tower rising about the fog or mist. Bay water is still and is same color as sky.

This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl."

Trump’s act of destroying the East Wing is exactly the point, Adam Gopnik writes. It’s “a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat.”
Why Trump Tore Down the East Wing

Crows can remember human faces and hold grudges? 🤯
They’re incredibly smart, able to recognize people who’ve wronged them and even alert other crows to do the same. Researchers have seen this behavior passed down across generations.
So if a crow seems to be watching you… it might have a reason. 👀🐦⬛

Do you think when the ICE agents slink away from their latest public humiliation, one of them finally thinks of a good comeback and tries to convince the other guys to circle back so he can get that "jerk store" zinger in?
