Marjane Satrapi died today. Her work incredibly matters, she showed millions of people what the regime hides. In fact, Persepolis was so controversial that Iran’s government sent a letter to the French embassy in Tehran to protest it and pressured organizers of the 2007 Bangkok Film Festival to remove it from the lineup.

A photographer spent a day mapping a tiny Korean island, taking the kind of street-level photos you can scroll through online. A golden retriever named Maru followed him the whole way, stopping to wait whenever the camera fell behind. He wound up in more than a thousand of the shots. This was back in 2010. Maru belonged to the only family living on the island, a speck of land off the east coast of South Korea, less than half a mile across. It's so small that the family never bothered with a leash. So when a stranger turned up with a camera and started walking every trail, Maru did what he always did with visitors. He tagged along. And he was good at it. Photo after photo, there he is, trotting out ahead, glancing back to check the human was still coming, leading the way past sea cliffs and grassy fields and dirt roads. Goldens were built for exactly this. Starting in the 1860s, breeders in Scotland spent generation after generation shaping a dog that would walk at a person's side across rough country and carry back whatever was shot without leaving a mark on it. Staying close to a human and waiting up for them is the whole reason the breed exists. Goldens are so into people that they make terrible guard dogs. They greet strangers with a wagging tail. Look closely, and in a lot of the shots Maru is staring right at the camera. Scientists in Japan found something sweet hiding behind that look. When a dog and a person hold each other's gaze, both of their bodies release oxytocin, a feel-good chemical, the same one that floods a new mother holding her baby. Wolves don't do this. Dogs picked it up over thousands of years of living beside us. Every time Maru looked back at that photographer, the two of them were quietly handing each other a little hit of happiness, just for the company. The photos are from 2010. Maru died in 2021. I still went and looked him up on the map, half expecting him to be gone from there too. He is not. Pull up that little island today, and he is right where he always was, walking a stranger down the road like he has all the time in the world.

Don’t be fooled. Nicola Sturgeon (wife) is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. As leader of the party she is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction is 💯 clear.

@Peter88902568 My previous passport photo gave off distinct 'Basque separatist' vibes, according to my husband. Once, an Austrian border guard laughed openly at it.
