The People Holding Everyone Together Are Coming Apart Gift article Our need for caregivers in this country is only growing. As one who spent 6 years caring for a loved one with dementia, this article felt true.

A long read, but against the backdrop of David Brooks’ Friday column in which he was “over” the Epstein files, it illuminates. How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

I am so angry and sad about this. Draconian staff cuts at KYUK in Bethel are an incalculable loss for the region and indeed all of Alaska. #AlaskaSky #PublicRadio

I made a Starter Pack for people enjoying their retirement. Now I don't know if they are all enjoying it, but it does say retired on all of their profiles. 😁 They are all nice people and active. Please like, follow, and share. 😁

"There are about a thousand of us." Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

Another newfound pleasure in retirement — I can listen to oral argument with my coffee. Not that I comprehend everything. But I like how immediate it is. How UNfiltered.

I would like to lodge a complaint. Can streaming movies and series stop showing text conversations on cell phones as if we can see and read those images?

I'm regularly updating this thread with more NF book ideas. (Just added 3 today.) I'm casting a wide net in terms of subject and hope I can persuade you to check out a title or two.

Colbert should just run for President. I mean, it worked for Trump when his show was cancelled.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Birthright citizenship is a "longstanding custom" in the same way that freedom of speech is a longstanding custom (they are both explicitly guaranteed by the text of the Constitution)

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

"Instead, to the majority, the power-hungry actors are . . . (wait for it) . . . the district courts." Justice Jackson is as incredulous as I am. It's taken me all day to get through these opinions, but when I can to this line in her solo dissent I had to laugh despite the sadness. She is fierce.

This young grizzly has been coming by around 9 am this week, eating grasses while I drink coffee. #AlaskaSky #WaryRespect #BeautifulBears

We should be amplifying responses like this.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

I wanna try this crust soon. Finally mastered Pre crust with Melissa Clark’s NYT recipe and video. Found this on YouTube of the Four & 20 sisters making their crust for Eater. Useful details in technique m.youtube.com/watch?v=z8WC...

Although most of the comments here are about the topic, rather than the book, I'd like to put in an actual plug for @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's new memoir, "The Last American Road Trip," which (like all her books) is fantastic. I grew up in a road-tripping family, but this book is eye-opening.

This captures Memorial Day as I want to give honor.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS allows Trump to fire members of NLRB and MSPB pending full appeal; doesn’t say whether it’s overruling Humphrey’s Executor; and asserts that the Federal Reserve can be distinguished. Three Democratic appointees publicly dissent in a feisty opinion by Justice Kagan, link to come.

Climate and weather disasters cost $182,700,000,000 just last year alone. And now, the Trump admin announced it will no longer update NOAA's disaster tracking database. It's gone. Right as we enter hurricane season. Good luck America.

Most Republicans in the Legislature adhere to the Dunleavy fantasy plan, which requires a suspension of disbelief and a firm conviction that the voting audience consists entirely of boobs. #akleg #alaska www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

🎶They say there were two ancient words That King John signed to please his lords But you don’t really care for law’s minutiae It goes like this: “Your power’s checked Our feudal rights, you will protect…

We are like the hooligan. When it’s time, it’s time.

I really encourage you to listen to this. This entire incident is chilling and crosses yet another line.

Fairbanks folks — Does anyone know what happened to the roadside display of individual names of the men rendered to El Salvador? Seen Friday, gone without a trace Sat. evening. A performance of disappearance?

That’s a healthy looking spring bear!

Members of Congress shouldn't be trading in the stock market! As long as they continue to do so, the public will be forced to question whether members of Congress are really putting the public interest first, or whether they’re using inside information to personally profit.
