Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

There's someone on this plane watching The Holiday at full volume without headphones, and honestly? I'm not even mad.

😐 Here's my challenge for anyone with a Republican elected - demand they respond to this. "How do you feel about the White House being in violation with a law the President signed?" Make them answer.

Missing the deadline = breaking the law.

This isn't a good choice. I can *broadly* Martin's logic, but this is the equivalent of covering your ears and going, "I can't hear you!" (Should be a gift link; holler at me if you can't see it)

This. I think some people have stayed there because they don't want to face losing their follower numbers... But objectively, why add to the collective harm of enabling the far right and Elon Musk?

Please give me all of your fight-this-cold tips possible. 😂

Good. And is it really fleeing rats, if he was put into this position and whined about it every single second he was there?

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #AGU25 #climate

EXCLUSIVE: 100 days of Kavanaugh stops, the justices who silently allowed them, and a bill to change that. The Shadow Docket Sunlight Act is being introduced on Wednesday. And, Justice Kavanaugh still isn't saying if he's having second thoughts on his September opinion. Today, at Law Dork:

At least one person has been detained here that we've seen. Large crowd shouting "shame!" at the feds.

Currently watching CBP agents intimidate Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss in a Home Depot parking lot.

Okay, all. I need to travel tomorrow. I'm experiencing a sore throat and a runny nose (curse LA's weird winters.) Tell me your best travel tips to prevent this from turning into a full-blown cold, outside of masking - which I always do.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

An embarrassing thing I'll admit now in honor of Rob Reiner is that this movie is partly what inspired me to go into politics. Imagine if real life had resembled the plot, where Democrats dispensed with bullshit "crime bill" triangulation in favor of meaningful climate legislation.

An amazing reminder of the hope we felt in the 90s.

“We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things … making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it.“

If you haven't watched this speech from The American President before.. you should. I had it pinned for four years on my Twitter account during Trump's first administration, and it's for good reason.

“How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can't stand Americans?”—Sydney Ellen Wade I think about that line often.

Watching The American President tonight in honor of Rob Reiner. But playing this first. Baby Jess loved this movie, since it showed a love of politics and public service in a way that helped me understand what I wanted to do when I grew up.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

I just want everyone to remember: The OG deal was for a $1 million advance for the book that she was going to co-write with Lizza. Obviously, it got restructured before D&A, but she still walked away with a pretty good chunk for the first 1/4.

We’ve got to do better, folks. Who else is in?

40 days from today, my Harry Reid bio will be published. For those of you who who prefer listening to reading, here's a link: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ga... For those who consume books the old fashioned way, here's where to preorder: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ga...

“I have a very particular set of skills…” “Do they involve epidemiology?” “No.” “Virology?” “No.” “…Biology?” “No, listen, I pretend to punch people into in the throat.”

This. I have an essay collection out on sub right now, and there's been caution, because an influencer's similarly structured project failed. (Also, if you want to to read an essay collection from me, *points at agent contact in bio*)

Each copy sold cost the publisher $1,000

I went to see how it's doing in the LA library system, and found that the entire huge library system in the city where she now lives, wisely did not buy a single copy

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

My initial instinct was to rage against Rubio, but I don't think that's particularly helpful. So instead, I'm going to share the 2023 WaPo article explaining Blinken's rationale, and why it's genuinely important we all think about these aspects of accessibility. Gift link here: wapo.st/4oJuDYQ

The Holiday (2006) was released 19 years and 11 days ago in a limited release on November 29, 2006. Exactly 19 years and 11 days ago, Moonstruck (1987) got a limited release on December 18, 1987. The Holiday will be closer to the release of Moonstruck than to the present day... starting tomorrow.

Oh, admit it, you knew it was coming.

Social media has reliably informed me The Holiday with Kate Winslet, etc. was released 19 years ago… And excuse me while I crumble into dust. 💀

A really old face would be Garamond. Even new sans-serif faces are contemporary with, or predate TNR: Franklin Gothic and Futura for example. News Gothic was popular on government forms. Rubio's caught up in the TNR rehash like we had in the 1980s, when laser printers made serifs reasonably nice.

Replacing Calibri with Times New Roman, because Calibri was too accommodating for people with disabilities. Unreal. What kind of bugs is TNR isn't even an "old" face. It was commissioned in 1931 by The Times in the UK. This was contemporary with other new faces like Gill Sans.

This. I just gave a note to my graphic novel illustrator on a character tweak. It's a small but important detail for how to understand the character... and so satisfying. If you're generating your characters and calling it a day... you just can't replicate that feeling or understanding.

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Democrat Eileen Higgins won the Miami mayor's race on Tuesday, defeating a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump to end her party's nearly three-decade losing streak. n.pr/48I1reS
