To be fair - Jesus Christ Superstar is a great show. And Senator McMorrow - you are a superstar!

One day AI will help cure cancer - but in the meanwhile - it is the F-ing cancer.

POTUS is the boy who cried wolf. We just not haven't gotten to the end of the story yet.

American red squirrel standing on a branch and wondering where the food is. Picture in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The food is fine, but
their service is second rate.
Give it just two stars.

I hope they win!

Fox squirrel with a pecan in her mouth stands on an iron gate at the University of Michigan.

I would tell you none
shall pass, were it not for the
pecan in my mouth.

"Do you have an idea of how we could solve the Black maternal mortality crisis if we can't say 'Black?'"

I could watch Democratic House Rep. Summer Lee bat around RFK Jr. all day.

She's magnificent.

The seventh hardest
part of my day was lining
up this photograph.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

Please let it be called "STFU JD"

this new series is actually disappointing…

Fox squirrel laying on a fence at the University of Michigan - wishing this country had a normal and competent President.

Even the squirrels
might enjoy a single day
with just normal stuff.

Unreal. Turned in 30,000 signatures to get on the ballot for U.S. Senate, 100% collected by some of the absolute best people you will ever meet. No paid canvassers. All 83 counties. An absolutely huge milestone.

Now let's go win.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

Fox squirrel sitting in a tree while sticking her tongue out just a bit. I believe it was an editorial statement. Taken at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

So, apparently
our campus pets only like
almonds. Peanuts....ugh!

The colors of Spring
are a welcome distraction
from everything else.

A failure at every single step of the scientific process

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.”

The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.

This moment isn't about the R or the D next to your name. This is bigger than party. It’s about our state and our country. And the question is this: who does Mike Rogers actually stand for?

How did they not write "EFF this place!"

What could possibly go wrong when you outsource your healthcare to opinions on facebook?

Your kitchen is where you do not want to see them. They are nocturnal, so they come out at dark. I have an outdoor light I can shine on this tree and they are fairly regular visitors between 9 and 10 at night. If you are out and hear scurrying up and down a tree in the dark - it might be one.

Fox squirrels standing in a grassy field with wildflowers. This squirrel has more brains that President Trump - but that is not saying much.

Such strange times to be
alive. We have our squirrels
and a championship.

Viral photo from some years back of a man nonchalantly mowing his yard with a tornado on the horizon .

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

Michigan muscles its way to program's 2nd NCAA basketball title, beating UConn High-scoring Michigan had to get down and dirty to dig out the national title Monday, making only two 3-pointers all night but still muscling its way to a 69-63 victory over stingy, stubborn UConn.
