Please pardon me if I'm the last person to have seen this, must share. Turns out U.S. gold medalist Alysa Liu's amazing skills extend to the baseball diamond. Check out her first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game last year. A born entertainer, that one. Bravo Alysa! youtube.com/shorts/DCAgl...

I'm going to say the quiet part with a bullhorn. In this case, they haphazardly axed a cost-effective health and nutrition program even as they were introducing #MAHA, led by the shirtless, toilet-bowl-lid-cocaine-sniffing #RFKJr. How do you suppose this will work out? #TrumpChaos #SNAP

Finished Bewilderment last night. Doesn't meet the impossible standards of The Overstory, unfair of me to expect it. Wish it would have come closer--that's fair. Great premise and spot-on political premonitions though. #ReadingCommunity #WritingCommunity #Environment #Universe #Books #BookSky 📚💙🔭

TY for the gift article Thomas. 🙏 Watching the demise of the once great #WaPo has been a painful process made worse by the fact it's needed more than ever. Let's hope what's left can sustain it, albeit at a broken level. Democracy is dying in broad daylight.
