I mean this in the least creepy way possible but one of the things I love about the Olympics is just seeing all these young gorgeous athletes with perfect builds and just at peak performance and it just reminds you what it felt to be thirty years younger.

A day photo showing a platform bird feeder close to the camera, it has black sunflower seed in the feeder though a lot has been blown out onto the ground by the strong winds we're getting today. A cheeky little squirrel is facing the camera, in the center of the frame.

Same camera spot looking at the feeder as the first photo only this time the little squirrel is possibly attempting to hide as it stayed like this for several photos before deciding to turn around and eat yet more seed. Here his or her tail is visible in the top center of the frame along with its two back paws as it hangs off the side of the platform feeder.

The wind is pretty strong today so lots of the seed is being blown out of the feeder. Still, the squirrel was having a blast camping out and eating lots of the seed that was left.

Big Brother isn’t fiction anymore.

ICE is building a digital dragnet—facial recognition, plate readers, mass data—tracking all of us.

No oversight. No accountability.

We must stop ICE now. My op-ed in the Boston Globe.
