A new start after 60: I found my feet in midlife, became a park ranger at 85 – and retired happily at 100

And there it is...

In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did). In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight. Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet. If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator. The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

I hope your morning coffee is fresh and your view is as clear as mine on a fog-free day.

At the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, we give orphaned elephants a second chance at life. From their first wobbly steps in our Nursery to the day they are ready to return to the wild, every rescued animal is given the care, love, and guidance they need to thrive: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/a...

We had Friendsgiving at our house today. 20 of us together, and but for snapping a few pics (the two below are pies I baked for our dessert), not a single person looked at their phone even once. It was lovely. I hope everyone’s day was just as peaceful.

these are the best tacos de nopales*, queso y huevos I've ever made** *all right, there's tomatillo, onion, serranos and cilantro in the mix, too, plus it's queso Oaxaca that's the move **first-time maker, all-time enjoyer, and they're Up There

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today. The system is rigged.

One view of Elon Musk can be that he is good for society as a very public demonstration of the axiom that prioritizing money over everything else is the road to unhappiness. A trillion dollars and nobody loves him, he is sad and alone. A living example of a key life lesson

Who does DJT think WORKS in meat packing plants.... I'll wait...

When this is over they should never be free again

As a note: that $4.1 billion in missing cash isn't covered by data centers or acquisitions, either. Oracle/Crusoe building Stargate, Microsoft builds the rest of the capacity (or CoreWeave does), and all acquisitions have been in stock. Very strange stuff. bsky.app/profile/edzi...

Well...

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses. However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

Here’s this week’s Better Offline monologue. I talk about OpenAI hinting they’d want a federal backstop for data center loans, NVIDIA’s weird, desperate post about China, and my deep suspicion about OpenAI’s leaked numbers. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Yes. Any questions?

Marianne was a gifted crafter who taught Anastasia to crochet. Cara, a Loose Ends finisher, spent 25 hours completing her vest—a colorful tribute to Marianne and her love of frogs. PS: Anastasia shared that her grandma Marianne survived the Barnum & Bailey circus fire at age 10!!!

UPDATE: We have added more entries to this list of Utah restaurants and other businesses offering free meals to those in need.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

The opposition to solar power in the US is almost entirely ideological and driven by negative partisanship. It’s the energy policy equivalent of rolling coal with your Cummins-powered Ram 3500 at the Prius next to you during your suburban commute.

BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting US government support to help guarantee financing for the massive investments in AI chips and data centers it needs for expansion, per Bloomberg.

oooh

Tried to go a couple of times and it was dark, expensive for what it was, and you couldn't tell if stuff was open.

Have you watched the #Kdrama #OurUnwrittenSeoul? #미지의서울? My student has a survey that's just for people who viewed this drama. If that's you, please take it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Ok usually there is the semblance of a train of thought. But this....WTF?

At least two million of those wasted Super PAC dollars for Cuomo came straight from Airbnb co-founder and Tesla board member Joe "JoeBnB" Gebbia... Who is also lingering at DOGE to help Trump's fascist takeover #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

I normally don't pay any attention to celebrity gossip - but as a former disinfo specialist, this case is 'the future' of what coordinated inauthentic messaging looks like. Don't look at Russia or China - they are looking at Hollywood dark PR firms for how to evolve.

Some of these people haven't served their constituents well.

New sculpture near the ferry terminals has a “War of the Worlds” vibe and I’m here for it.

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

To recap, among young voters… Prop 50: +58 Sherril: +37 Spanberger: +40 Mamdani: +61 I better see the media start retracting some of those stories saying Gen Z is the most conservative generation.

Ugh, I'm soaking wet this morning. Do yourself a favor and stay home under a warm blanket.

I cannot begin to tell you how many 80-90 year olds gather a write postcards. Or phonebank. People are willing to participate at the level they can.

Congrats to workers at Chateau Ste Michelle who recently celebrated 30 years of Union representation! These workers enjoy up to 17 paid holidays as part of their union contract. #WeFeedYou
