Please call these ICE actions a β€œreign of terror” because it is the right term.

Birds use hidden black and white feathers to make themselves more colourful A secret under-layer explains why songbirds' colourful feathers look so damn good.

New research by a team from Princeton University has revealed a surprising trick in which birds use black and white feathers to make their colors even more vivid. (via @us.theconversation.com)

I drove to Stone Harbor to see the imm Reddish Egret present since tues. Quite windy (Erin was coming its closest to NJ at the time) and birds were sheltering where they could but this one did appear long enough to get a picture. 4th for NJ.

New U.S. homes are set to get pricier under President Trump’s tariffs on building materials.

An NBC News analysis estimates costs could rise by over $4,000 per mid-range home β€”well below the $10,900 estimate from the Home Builders Association.

Neither includes labor costs.

In less than a week, there were at least four 1-in-1,000-year rainfall events across the U.S. β€” intense deluges that are thought to have roughly a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year.

Love wild rice. Yesterday I started slow-cooked red peas with smoked ham hock; goes with Carolina rice grits. We'll see later today how it all turns out.

Trump has pissed off ... the Quakers! Yes, you heard correctly. The Quakers have sued Trump’s DHS for allowing ICE raids in places of worship.

I wasn’t living in NJ for Dylan’s Day of the Locusts, did live through the next 2 broods. What really did it to me was a Scout camp-out in the 60s in OH. Unprepared, trapped in a horror movie with millions of red-eyed demons dropping from the trees, crawling into our tents, and the SOUND….. 😱
