I miss the brief, brilliant reign of “Ahoy!”
A sleek black cat with bright green eyes stands alert on a pale patterned rug in a kitchen, looking directly at the camera. Warm wooden cabinets and a white door frame the background, and the cat’s glossy coat catches the indoor light as it pauses mid-step with ears perked and tail just out of frame

I’ve followed Congress since the Watergate hearings — Jamie Raskin is the smartest member of either house that I have ever seen.
And it’s not even close.
For me, he’s also the embodiment of patriotism and commitment to the people.
On a snowy residential street in the Boston area, a person wearing a knit winter hat with a pom-pom, a blue sweatshirt, black shorts, gloves, and winter boots stands on top of a tall snowbank along the curb. They are mid-motion tossing a shovel-full of packed snow toward the roadside. In the foreground, a red gas-powered snowblower sits on a cleared path, its wheels and chute dusted with snow. Large piles of plowed snow line both sides of the street, with colorful wood-sided houses, bare trees, and recycling bins visible in the background under an overcast winter sky.
Boston guy doing the Boston thing in winter
It has become a boring old story for many but two days after the snow started I was looking out my dorm room window and see 47 inches of snow

A hand holds up a hardcover copy of Vigil, a novel by George Saunders, in the foreground. The black book cover shows large tan lettering with a small silhouetted figure falling through a cloudy sky. In the background, slightly out of focus, is an auditorium with rows of seated people facing a stage set with a podium and a table, suggesting a reading or author event is about to take place.

Carney says if middle powers like Canada don't act together, "they're not at the table, they're on the menu."
An abstract, textured artwork depicting a coastal landscape or seascape. The image is divided into horizontal bands with a heavy, crackled texture throughout, resembling weathered paint or aged ceramic. The top half features deep indigo and violet "clouds" against a pale turquoise sky. A bright, off-white band stretches across the middle, suggesting a horizon or distant shore. The bottom third consists of dark, silhouetted horizontal lines over a shimmering purple and white foreground, evoking the movement of water or tide pools. Accents of warm orange and pink are visible on the far right edge, hinting at a sunrise or sunset.
I have been digitizing some slides from the 1980s. This one and a few others had water damage, likely made worse by hot temperatures from attic storage. I asked Gemini to create alt-text for it. It did note that it was a seascape. I didn’t offer any hints. The alt-text is kind of lovely.
