  19. Later the same day as the previous picture we saw a great sunset over Lake Huron from the little beach next to the Port Austin breakwater. There were soooo many beautiful images from that sunset. This is one that I don't think I've shared before.

  21. I thought it might be a good idea to post some of my favorite pictures from time-to-time, just as a reminder that the world is indeed beautiful, despite also being terrible. (1/3) July 1, 2025. Port Austin, Michigan. #photography #michigan #summer #favorite #favorites #art

  22. I thought it might be a good idea to post some of my favorite pictures from time-to-time, just as a reminder that the world is indeed beautiful, despite also being terrible.

    This one was taken on M-53, just south of Port Austin, Michigan. My wife and I headed up there for a one-day respite from our eldercare duties while her sister tended things for us at home.

    As they say, the best camera is the one in your hand.

  23. Top data visualizations of 2025, from Pew Research Center’s designers – Pew Research Center

    Our favorite data visualizations of 2025

    December 15, 2025, By Alissa Scheller

    Every year, designers at Pew Research Center create hundreds of charts, maps and other data visualizations. We also help make a range of other digital products, from “scrollytelling” features to quizzes based on our research and large interactive databases.

    All of these products are aimed at communicating our research findings clearly and concisely. Our graphics must have clear takeaways and engage readers. They also must be easily viewed on small screens, especially as smartphones have become so widespread.

    Ultimately, our graphics should tell a story about our research, whether it’s about changing media habits or shifting social norms. Below, we’ll highlight a few of our favorite visuals from 2025 and walk through how we made them and what makes them successful.

    Related: Striking findings from 2025

    Showing shifts over time with alluvial diagrams

    Alluvial diagrams are named after the alluvial “fans” that naturally form in sediment from streams of water. Sometimes called Sankey diagrams, they’re a unique way of showing changes over time. They allow us to show changes in the composition of various categories of data between two points in time.

    In the two examples below, bars and columns represent the categories in each year, while the flows between them show changes in the composition of those categories. We could easily show this data as a simple bar or column chart, but alluvial diagrams allow us to show not only that shifts happened, but also how they happened.

    The first graphic shows how the American electorate shifted between 2020 and 2024, leading to President Donald Trump’s return to the White House:

    This chart uses a paneled version of an alluvial diagram to highlight different voter flows between 2020 and 2024. In both the static and interactive versions of the visualization, we walk readers through the decisions that three categories of Americans – 2020 Trump voters, 2020 Biden voters and 2020 nonvoters – made in 2024. With this type of diagram, we can show how relatively small changes drove a larger electoral shift.

    Alluvial diagrams are particularly useful for survey data that comes from the Center’s American Trends Panel (ATP), a group of U.S. adults who agree to take our polls regularly. With a survey panel like the ATP, we’re able to poll the same people regularly, and alluvial diagrams allow us to show how their attitudes and experiences have – or have not – changed over time.

    We also used an alluvial diagram – albeit in a slightly different way – to visualize how Israeli Jewish adults have switched their affiliation within Judaism since childhood. The diagram below shows how Israeli people were raised and how they currently identify:

    At the Center, we don’t use alluvial diagrams often. But when called for, they can be a powerful way of breaking down changes in various categories over time. We’ve also used them to show shifts in U.S. public opinion about Chinaacquittal and conviction rates in federal trials, and how the number of women’s colleges in the United States has declined over time

  28. The 16 Best New Cookbooks of 2025 – Bon Appétit

    Cooking

    Our Favorite New Cookbooks of 2025

    According to editors, cookbook authors, and chefs.

    By The Bon Appétit and Epicurious Staffs and Contributors

    December 2, 2025

    All products featured on Bon Appétit are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links.

    This year was a banner year for cookbooks. These new titles? They helped us get dinner on the table in so many ways. Books for those willing to explore the wonders waiting in their pantry or those who want to wander around other countries for inspiration. Books that celebrate vegetarian cooking, baked goods, and “good things.” There were deep dives into diasporic Pakistani, Ghanaian, Middle Eastern, and Latinx cuisine. With so many excellent titles, how does one go about chronicling the best? By enlisting a group of tastemakers to evaluate and select their favorites. Of course, we barely scratched the surface of all the excellent titles published this year. Luckily, we’ve covered plenty over the past year: peruse our spring, summer, and fall callouts. To round up 2025’s best cookbooks, we consulted a large group: Bon Appétit and Epicurious staffers, as well as other food writers and editors, cookbook authors, and chefs.

    While a great cookbook is, as one might assume, a collection of stellar recipes, it should also be enjoyable to read without immediate plans to cook. And wow, do these books deliver on that. Without truly reading these books, we might not have discovered that you don’t need to soften butter for a cohesive cookie dough (Nicole Rucker’s Fat + Flour taught us this); or that an author’s daughter is responsible for curating the playlists peppered throughout the recipe pages (that’s in Hetty Lui McKinnon’s Linger); or that fonio, a grain indigenous to West Africa, is likely the oldest cereal grain on the continent, but remained mostly unknown to Americans until just recently (shared by Eric Adjepong in Ghana to the World).

    Read on for 16 books that delighted us in 2025, ordered alphabetically by title. Which will you add to your library?

    Boustany by Sami Tamimi

    I was drawn to chef Sami Tamimi’s first solo cookbook, Boustany, because of its subtitle: A celebration of vegetables from my Palestine. Hoping for inspiration for meat-free home cooking, I was not disappointed. The longtime Ottolenghi collaborator centers fresh produce on every page, with vibrant recipes that look exactly like what I want to eat right now (and always, if I’m honest). Colorful salads, robust dips, and a medley of grains and beans fill out chapters on breakfast, weeknight dinners, and special occasions, punctuated by pictures of Tamimi’s boustany—Arabic for “my garden.” I immediately made the Two-Lentil Mejadra, which features an onion salsa with gently roasted onion petals that I know I’ll be coming back to as a topping for other dishes. The bread section is going to see more of me (four words: Fenugreek & Onion Buns), and the fruity desserts, like Tahini Rice Pudding With Grape Compote, all have Post-it notes on their pages. But aside from the recipes, Boustany is also a beautiful ode to Tamimi’s home country, honoring the work Palestinians have done to preserve a culinary heritage rooted in farming and foraging in the face of overwhelming adversity. Showcasing this food culture is not a task he takes lightly; as Tamimi writes: “The responsibility of writing these recipes and stories has weighed heavily on my shoulders. I hope and wish that many of you try the recipes, read the stories, and want to know more about Palestine…this wonderful place I call home.” —Kendra Vaculin, former test kitchen editor

The longtime Ottolenghi collaborator centers fresh produce on every page, with vibrant recipes that look exactly like what I want to eat right now (and always, if I’m honest). Colorful salads, robust dips, and a medley of grains and beans fill out chapters on breakfast, weeknight dinners, and special occasions, punctuated by pictures of Tamimi’s boustany—Arabic for “my garden.” I immediately made the Two-Lentil Mejadra, which features an onion salsa with gently roasted onion petals that I know I’ll be coming back to as a topping for other dishes. The bread section is going to see more of me (four words: Fenugreek & Onion Buns), and the fruity desserts, like Tahini Rice Pudding With Grape Compote, all have Post-it notes on their pages. But aside from the recipes, Boustany is also a beautiful ode to Tamimi’s home country, honoring the work Palestinians have done to preserve a culinary heritage rooted in farming and foraging in the face of overwhelming adversity. Showcasing this food culture is not a task he takes lightly; as Tamimi writes: “The responsibility of writing these recipes and stories has weighed heavily on my shoulders. I hope and wish that many of you try the recipes, read the stories, and want to know more about Palestine…this wonderful place I call home.” —Kendra Vaculin, former test kitchen editor

  30. The 16 Best New Cookbooks of 2025 – Bon Appétit

    Our Favorite New Cookbooks of 2025

    According to editors, cookbook authors, and chefs.

    All products featured on Bon Appétit are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links.

    This year was a banner year for cookbooks. These new titles? They helped us get dinner on the table in so many ways. Books for those willing to explore the wonders waiting in their pantry or those who want to wander around other countries for inspiration. Books that celebrate vegetarian cooking, baked goods, and “good things.” There were deep dives into diasporic Pakistani, Ghanaian, Middle Eastern, and Latinx cuisine. With so many excellent titles, how does one go about chronicling the best? By enlisting a group of tastemakers to evaluate and select their favorites. Of course, we barely scratched the surface of all the excellent titles published this year. Luckily, we’ve covered plenty over the past year: peruse our spring, summer, and fall callouts. To round up 2025’s best cookbooks, we consulted a large group: Bon Appétit and Epicurious staffers, as well as other food writers and editors, cookbook authors, and chefs.

    While a great cookbook is, as one might assume, a collection of stellar recipes, it should also be enjoyable to read without immediate plans to cook. And wow, do these books deliver on that. Without truly reading these books, we might not have discovered that you don’t need to soften butter for a cohesive cookie dough (Nicole Rucker’s Fat + Flour taught us this); or that an author’s daughter is responsible for curating the playlists peppered throughout the recipe pages (that’s in Hetty Lui McKinnon’s Linger); or that fonio, a grain indigenous to West Africa, is likely the oldest cereal grain on the continent, but remained mostly unknown to Americans until just recently (shared by Eric Adjepong in Ghana to the World).

    Read on for 16 books that delighted us in 2025, ordered alphabetically by title. Which will you add to your library?

  33. A fave from the 1990s, Jake Stockman. He's got hot everything, but it's that sandpaper jaw that really gets me.
