Today’s #joinindaily theme from Johnny Wills is “Ducks; not mallards”. These are some type of diving duck, I don’t know what ones specifically though.
Unlike my previous post, I don’t believe they wear diapers.

The Fifth Circuit's upcoming en banc hearing will undoubtedly be the most important federal review of America's money bail system until the Supreme Court chooses to weigh in (which may not happen for a very long time). It's a very high-risk/high-reward case for bail reformers. 1/ https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/status/1365093945731129345

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up.
One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.
Hi, it's me, your neighborhood reasonable adult. I heard Dr. Seuss books were "banned" in a Virginia school district, which surprised me! So, I did what any reasonable adult would do with internet access: I looked it up to get official details. (thread)
I’m assuming this was taken near where you live in the Northwest. It’s also hard to see color, but they are likely Harlequin Ducks.
(http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/harlequin-duck) Not much else has those small white patches behind the eyes on their heads.
If they are all black/brown and white they might be immature buffleheads (or immature something else; teens are a motley lot).
