After undergoing the ritual debate of Coopers Hawk or Sharp Shinned Hawk, we’ve unanimously decided this is a Coopers Hawk that swooped down in pursuit of a small bird hiding in a holly bush.
After playing it cool in this nearby tree, the hawk tried diving into the bush (ouch!), landing & coming up from underneath, but could not reach nor flush out its prey.
It then landed on the railing & became aware of us gaping at it from our front window. Rightfully spooked, it flew …

As a father of a high school teen, #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy's storytelling around adolescent challenges in school is really good.
By-the-way, El Cheato has not obtained another name:
Filibuster Naranja
Filibuster is a word that now tends to me endless "debate" in the US Senate.
But its older meaning is that of a person who privately (or pretense-privately) attacks another country.

So, #Trump is threatening people that do not like hate speech, claiming this is #censorship. But at the same time, he is restricting the rights to free speech for anyone who doesn't agree 120% with his opinion.

The suicide pod now has a built in AI to check any user's wellbeing to see if they're fit to commit suicide. That has to be the easiest peace of software to ever exist, because if anyone trusts an artificial intelligence with their own life, they're certainly not mentally fit and need help.
On a more serious note: the assisted suicide debate is an important one, where I clearly position myself on the side of it's legalization. However, I could only truly support it with a better health…
While the AI bubble feels like the internet bubble of 1999, it may actually be larger and scarier with an unstable US economy and greater exposure for Big Tech (Fred Vogelstein/Crazy Stupid Tech)

The Arctic is no longer a frozen periphery,
especially not after the U.S. spat with Europe over Greenland.
As sea ice melts, the High North is emerging as a strategic hub for energy, shipping and critical minerals.
It is warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet,

Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”
Why does #Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”
The pattern is ... not subtle.

A lot of journalistic pieces contain too little information. But here's one that is chock full of interesting stuff, not details, but hooks for deeper inquiry. That stuff goes far beyond the topics in the headline. For instance I had never previously considered subway cars as a potential form of spyware.

After a week of reprimands, some in Congress are having second thoughts
The recent onslaught of disciplinary actions has diminished their effect, said Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota),
who was removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee last Congress.
