The historical irony that Austria and Algeria would both go through if they draw is off the charts. Gijon revisited?

Delighted to have been proven wonderfully wrong so far by kilted piping Scots, orange-clad dancing Dutch, rowing Norwegians and more...plus the graciousness of so many hosts in all three countries. Maybe even Gianni and Trump can't kill the WC spirit after all. Long may it continue.

Fantastic work. Should be really influential in policy discussions.

Had a great time at my book panel at @healthjournalism.org, discussing my findings from Coverage Denied with @usha.bsky.social and a great audience. If you’re interested in reading my analysis of US health insurance barriers and how they burden patients and their physicians: a.co/d/07W4SeVu

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

#sunset behind a tree! What a perfect photo!

I wonder when the news will emerge that there was a small group of shadowy traders who bought relevant stocks heavily, or sold oil short, right before the announcement of the two week pause in fighting.

Marching on together to Wembley. #LUFC

Inspired me to look up the story. Amazing story of discovery, sexism, theft of intellectual property and potentially worse.

Miami's gonna be Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve and Spring Break rolled into one tonight.

We've never been as close to repeating this national shame as we are today. And I fear for tomorrow. Remembering is crucial.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Nothing says “I’m prepared to defend my position” than posting nonsense like this and turning off replies.

Can we retire the word “detained” to describe people held behind bars by ICE. “Detained” is when you couldn’t get somewhere on time because your train was late. These kids held by ICE are imprisoned.

So true. Because every 5 year old is going to react to seeing their friends being disappeared by saying, “But he violated Section 42.394(c) of the Code of Federal Regulations, so I guess it’s ok that I can’t play tag with Liam any more.”

The Macclesfield win had everything. Massive underdog? Check. Obscure nickname? Check. Goalscorer with bandaged head? Check. Field so small the goals weren't even flat? Check. Fresh faced local kids running onto field to celebrate? Check. Just fantastic. #FACup

#lufc If going into December, anyone had offered 10 pts from Chelsea, Liverpool x2, Palace, Brentford and S'land, you'd have taken it in a second.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Politicians on this side of the Atlantic, take notes…

LBJ: bleeding heart liberal and complete ruthless bastard on tactics for getting legislation done. Winning combination.

I’m glad that I still retain my ability to be appalled.

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition…incendiary turkey safety videos.

It's only because Americans -- in an act of shocking disloyalty to our Dear Leader -- tend to notice the price when they stubbornly insist on buying food on a regular basis. They should really learn to live without as it distresses him so when they disagree that prices are plummeting.

I wonder. Is Mike Johnson’s plan with Rep-elect Grijalva to keep her out until Sherill resigns to become NJ gov?

Just when I think FIFA can't disgust me any more with their abject pandering, they outdo themselves. www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

And not necessarily a bad thing.

A flaming exododus is a terrible sight.

The thing I find so ironic about Andrew Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani is that Mamdani's vision sounds so much like Cuomo's -- Mario Cuomo's. Here's his speech to the Dem convention in 1984.

This is completely fantastic.

Wait…if Mamdani wins, New York will be rid of Cuomo AND George Santos??

Dunno about any of your workplaces, but anywhere I've ever worked, if some numbskull from HR sent out 700 termination notices in error, theirs would be the next termination sent out -- and it wouldn't be an error. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You know that if anyone had so much as thrown gum on the sidewalk at any No Kings rally, Fox would be screaming MASSIVE DESTRUCTION!!!! The fact that even they are not shows how peaceful, positive and disciplined the marches were.

Trump’s Luca Brasi.

That’s Columbine. Columbus is a type of monkey with black and white fur.

Having been a Congressional staffer, let me say two things: (1) this is about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 of being chewed out and (2) if I had ever done the same thing to my boss, all hell would have broken loose. Can anyone seriously think the reaction would be the same if she were male??

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Affirms Safety and Benefits of Acetaminophen during Pregnancy 🛟

In London, hate will never win.

Actual question. When considering the upcoming deadline for funding the Fed govt, do you think Democrats should: (a) vote with R's to keep govt open? (b) close govt indefinitely with no conditions? (c) vote to keep govt open only if certain conditions are met? If so, what conditions?

Mind blowing.

Billions more dollars from us to their cronies.

EXCLUSIVE: Sean Duffy will announce expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, his first major action as interim NASA administrator.

They're looting the country and selling it to their friends.

They’re wrecking the United States and selling it for scrap.

Yeah, people ask what good it does to get outraged, but there's a value in remaining shocked and appalled that this is being done in our names. When we lose the outrage, they will finally have won. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Distressingly large parts of my cerebral cortex are taken up with dialogue from this film.

I’m beginning to get wistful about Matt Gaetz

Trump being able to personally specify when markets go up and down is such a golden invitation to insider trading. Anyone care to guess if any of his personal holdings or those of his family and friends suddenly bought stock this morning?
