When I pick weeds near the saltbrush and rabbitbrush, a juvenile red-tailed hawk has started landing on the roof above me to see if I startle out any rabbits or nesting birds. Work smarter, not harder, I guess!

I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.

I was traveling much of June, and as a result we have an extra-large collection of new books and ARCs to consider here at the end of the month. What in this double stack of reading goodness would you like to take on in this final weekend of the first half of the year?

The best trick the wealthy 1% have ever pulled off is to convince the politically vocal (and influential) next 20% that one day they could be super wealthy too, and so increases in tax on the current wealthy, are really increases of tax on their future wealth....

By the time the 20% realise the 1% have made sure they'll never get that wealthy a new generation is waiting to be hoodwinked!

Farmworkers spread out 13–16 per side and spend the entire day hunched over, picking tomatoes as fast as they can. If they’re on the far end, they run across the field to reach the trailer. The dumper checks each 25lb bucket is full. Then the puncher gives them credit. #WeFeedYou

From across the pond I saw all four young Green Herons flying along this yellow boom. But by the time I got to the other side of the pond I could only find three of them. Aren't they adorable? The fun of watching them is only just beginning.

"JUSTICE JACKSON, dissenting. I agree with every word of JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR’s dissent. I write separately to emphasize a key conceptual point: The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law." - Absolutely.

"...The Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not opened applications for an enormous suite of grants, including ones that many states rely on to pay for basic emergency management operations. Some states pass on much of that money to their most rural, low-income counties to ensure they have an emergency manager on the payroll.

FEMA has blown through the mid-May statutory deadline to start the grants’ application process, according to the National Emergency Management Association, with no word about why or what that might indicate. The delay appears to have little precedent...."
