Late posting, but so #thankful I splurged on a Supernote. I mostly use it for work but it made Thanksgiving planning super easy, especially for my Type A, backtimed to the quarter hour, neurotic self.🦃 @supernote.com

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot. Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 to the amazing conductor on @mbta-cr.bsky.social train 736 inbound. He helped the mom of an infant lift her stroller on board, warned passengers which parts of the car were not as well air-conditioned AND let me catch my breath after a sprint from the parking lot before asking for my ticket.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived,” writes Michelle Goldberg.

True story bro.

House chamber burst into laughter when Marjorie Taylor Greene called for "decorum."

Thank you @mbta-cr.bsky.social for holding the train while I sprinted the entire length of the platform - and for opening a door closer to where I was so that I didn’t make the whole train late. I always forget only one door opens midday!!

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

HAPPENING NOW: The worldwide "Hands Off!" rallies are already underway at Trafalgar Square in London 👇🏻

Have you seen this? 👇 Thanks, Seth! ✨

I literally stopped mid-chore to read Becky’s story. I still cannot believe there are people in my country that voted for this.

President Trump’s Tariffs Will Help America Win the War Against Birds www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/pre...

Can we subsidize this please? Or at least tax the hell out of petroleum plastics since tariffs on aluminum and steel will be a nightmare for anyone left who still cares about the planet?

Do you feel liberated?

Mayor Wu telling these racists to suck it in multiple languages makes me so proud to have voted for her. Damn right this is our city.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Jesse and Robin are both SO talented and are always the first to run in the direction of a story. Check out their work from 2024:

NEW: The same political leaders who enacted abortion bans oversee the state committees that review maternal deaths. These committees haven’t tracked the laws’ impacts, and most haven’t finished examining cases from the year the bans went into effect. propub.li/4fF71QR

No? Just me?

Well played Alex Jones.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Massive away win for the little fella.
