Just found a dying chicken hen in the yard, still warm, blood pouring out of her back. Her ribs are crushed and she has pretty clear talon wounds from an owl on either side of her spine, plus one on her abdomen, which reads me to believe that the owl grabbed her, she fought back, then the owl had to re-grip, so it tossed her, missed with one leg, and then she reached up and pecked out one if its eyes.
I found what looks a lot like an avian eyelid and some aqueous goo in her beak.
She was dying hard, so I assisted her. Rest easy, little warrior.

Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht all survived an up-or-down vote to keep their seats on the bench. Dougherty and Wecht each won another 10-year term, while Donohue will serve until 2027, when she’ll reach the mandatory retirement age of 75 for justices."

"Almost every county in GA, NJ, PA and VA moved towards Democrats.
The best explanation for 2025 is that voters didn’t know what they were getting with Trump 2.0 last November, but now they do — and they don’t like it.
These results tell us something deeper: voters care about affordability and freedom, and Democrats who focus on that message — whether they’re moderates or progressives — are winning."
