Black and white image of a vintage Agfa camera. The camera is mounted on a tripod, displaying intricate details such as the lens markings and the word "Standard" on the camera's base. The background is blurred, highlighting the camera's antique design and craftsmanship.

A jar of Epic Berkshire Pork Lard is displayed on a store shelf with a price tag of $9.99.

My grandmother had seven brothers to cook for during the depression. She used a wood stove to make prodigious amounts of food including dozens of biscuits, made with lard. If she was alive today to see it selling for $9 a pint, her commentary would be hilarious.

Illustration of two people with a green background. On the left, an older man in a suit holds the end of a disconnected fire hose. On the right, a younger person wearing a coat and braids holds the nozzle of the hose, facing a large, dark cloud with orange and red streaks resembling flames. The scene suggests a contrast in action and intent between the two characters.

I admire Greta so much.

A narrow alleyway at night, illuminated by dim streetlights. The alley is flanked by tall, worn brick buildings on either side. The surface is paved with a few scattered leaves, creating a somewhat eerie and deserted atmosphere. The light from the lamps casts long shadows along the ground and walls.

A bird with a reddish-brown crest and bright red beak perched on a thin branch. Its body is a mix of soft brown and orange tones with pale red wings and tail. The background is blurred, filled with soft green and brown hues, suggesting a natural outdoor setting.

I'm hoping this female cardinal decides to raise a nest of babies in the yard again this spring. #birds

An older man with gray hair and a short beard is looking at the camera with a slight smile. He is wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt. The background is a mottled red and brown texture.

I like spicy food so I ordered tacos a la diablo, which literally means tacos of the devil. They were so hot that two bites in I was sweating and a little miserable. Wonder Woman found this hilarious.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

Just over a year into President Donald Trump’s first term, there had been roughly 10,000 protests nationwide during the first Trump presidency. By the same point in Trump’s second term — January 31, 2026 — there had been more than 40,000.
