In case I wasn't clear yesterday, in addition to the high-profile ad with Lady Gaga singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor," there was an NFL ad featuring "You Are Special," my favorite Mr. Rogers song and one that was very meaningful to me as a child. (Understatement.)

Came back with 55 species IDed and 1300+ images. First cull on the images has that down to about 250 -- first cull is always fast (about 2 hours), clearing out the obvious fails and burst dupes. Now the fun starts

just back from 2 days at Ridgefield NWR. First morning was totally fogged in. You can see that as a problem, or as an opportunity...

![The UK's Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: "[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda ... Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving - with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism - the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring's staring up at his looted Monet."
The publication continued: "The "film" is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tu4d43ehkpc6mg2tlsyepptn/bafkreihekdzwo5ahnlli7chkshunctsvxkrm6npngzw7ehvjmb6mzomyeu@jpeg)
