Color photo looking up at a bronze latticework canopy that is framed by a cornice which, in turn, rests upon black marble columns. A pair of bronze angels flank the canopy. Above the structure can be seen the ornate interior of a large dome ringed with arched windows.

ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s.

Legal documents and other records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Color photo of the point at which five painted steel tri-chord trusses meet to form the superstructure of a pedestrian bridge. Each of the trusses tapers to a point and all five have at least one face covered with a series of rectangular stainless steel plates. The sky beyond the structure is a deep blue, streaked by just a few wispy white clouds.

With this and the stories pouring in about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer, we are seeing and hearing about the full human spectrum from kindness and generosity to cruelty and callous disregard for the humanity of others.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

What if we kissed at the old Sun-Times building in the stained glass windows of First United Methodist?
Color photo of modern stained glass, depicting an interpretation of a view of the main stem of the Chicago River from around Dearborn looking east to Lake Michigan. Real nerds will be able to ID more, but I see the old Sun-Times building, London Guarantee Building, Mather Tower, the Wrigley Building, and the Tribune Tower. In a green sky above, amidst a decorative lattice are clouds, factories with polluting smokestacks, and fighter planes.

An office window at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (Legorreta + Legorreta, 2009), Fort Worth, TX.

Color photo of a window which extends out at an angle from the wall plane. To enhance privacy, the single square pane of glass has been etched with a series of wide, horizontal stripes. The masonry wall in which the window is set is composed of blocks of pink stone (lower section) and orange bricks (upper section). There is shrubbery beneath the window.

They’re tearing up the areas along the Hudson where Ella and I enjoy our walks. Building sea walls. Construction for 5+ years. Right to do, but when I explained to Ella that her fave walks are blocked because humans are ruining the planet, she barked. We should all bark. 🐶🌎 #climatechange #NYC

Love this guy. North Blvd., Oak Park, Illinois
Painting of a snowman on a concrete railroad embankment. The snowman is wearing a black beret and black scarf and old fashioned ice skates and is skating on a pond. There are trees and hills in the background and starts and clouds in the dark sky. The whole thing is painted to look like a sepia-tone photograph.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.
