Pedestrian birder in Chicago. Click on #birds tag to see just my bird photos without the whinging. I'm also sharing bird links using the #BirdLinks tag. I'm embarrassed by my typos but usually not enough to delete them. Gear: OM1 & OM 150-400 & 100-400
This Superbowl feels like both teams know the winner gets invited to the White House.

I love how the NFL, a multi-billion dollar sports industry, with the jockest of all jocks doing metaphorical battle, always comes down the incredibly nerdy epistemological question of "How do we know a pass is a completion?"

I am so tired of the new PR trend of announcing that people have passed "after a brief illness".

That's OK. The next Democratic president will get to threaten to sue NBC for $50 million and NBC will just give it to them. Right? Right?
Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this female peregrine falcon shake

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Pretty cool the NFL has let the Patriots and Seahawks play some football at the Bad Bunny concert tomorrow. Maybe the NFL will get some new fans.

Another tree on the Chicago lakefront cut down. This was a half dead giant willow tree just inside golf course by the lighthouses on the Montrose Harbor entrance piers.

The Sydney Marovitz Golf Course has been heavily cutting back trees and foliage in the last few years to make golf even easier.
