At least 30 oz of iced coffee in a plastic container. The top is molded like an eagle head and is filled with whipped cream. A straw sticks out of the top, and it's on a brown table in front of a blue wall.

An Eastern Phoebe sits among reedy plants in a pebble-sand area.
Zoomed in photo of a gull on a giant shiny convex surface, with a building behind. The surface is top of Chicago's Cloudgate sculpture.

Text from Marisa Kabas that reads "Telling a machine that can’t perceive that it can’t perceive won’t make it perceive that it can’t perceive. It can’t make you be the best version of yourself because it doesn’t know what that means, nor does it know what it means to aspire. Just because some are given a human name and users are taught to address it collegially doesn’t make it real. You cannot force a machine to become human. You’re stuck, for better or worse, with your fellow humans for perceiving your aspirations. Perhaps the problem is that you don’t like how humans perceive you."

A Common Grackle in an urban tree. They are mid-squawk. The tree has a few buds.

The Cubs' Nico Hoerner, who is an absolute specimen of a baseball player especially in the home pinstripes, at bat during a game at Wrigley. The Mets' Francisco Alvarez is behind the plate and Ian Happ is on deck. I don't know who the home plate ump is but he is there too.
The field at Dodger Stadium from just behind the right field foul pole. The last bits of sunset can be seen behind the stadium.
The sweetgreen app homepage, with the words "coupled up for fall" and "the autumn menu with Nic" over a dude in ranch(?) attire, tipping his cap and looking seductively into the camera, and oh yeah there's a salad in the picture too

A text exchange, the sender writes "a sweep! Don't let em get hot!" and receives the reply "love it. But I must concede...at this point, you could probably let them get hot."
