@2460fun.bsky.social This Aaron Tveit Christmas movie makes me laugh every year. Can we do a joint watch?!

Update on the UPS crash in Louisville. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We're a few weeks away from Thanksgiving & traditionally the Sunday following the holiday is the busiest air travel day of the year in the US & the Wednesday before is the second busiest. This year is shaping up in an awful way. www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

HELL YEAH CALIFORNIA! WE DID IT!

Please. 😭 I’m so tired of fighting with people over why Bluesky >>>> X in a professional capacity. There are only so many ways I can professionally say X is a hollowed out skeleton of a platform with no lift and an ever decaying infrastructure. And it smells of groupthink.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

NYCers, I’m crying absolute tears of joy for you! 🥹 Watching all of you be truly inspired by his campaign has been so hopeful and such a balm for these times. Congratulations on doing the thing.

Hey all, many of you know this already, but if you're following airport problems popping up all over the country because TSA is getting unpaid? Follow my colleague @wjm-air.bsky.social. Bill's an aviation expert. He has decades of institutional knowledge.

My homestate

No … It’s Jersey. It’s … Congratu-fuckin-lations! 😉

MIKIE! CONGRATS NEW JERSEY! (Also, I'm on a bit of a delay, since I'm doing something for work, so bear with me!)

Clean sweep for VA 👏🏼🔵🎉

YESSSSS! CONGRATULATIONS, VIRGINIANS!

NYC friends? Cheering for you today. Bring it home. vote.nyc/page/find-yo...

My fellow CAers: Do the thing today. VOTE. www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po...

I have no idea how TikTokers regularly record themselves without wanting to hide. My work video just broke 10K views - thank you to all of you ! and I'm like... okay. This is both hilarious and horrifying. No one needs to see my giant, sleep-deprived head up close and personal. 😆

Please follow the writers laid off - and lit agents - please consider asking them what they have in mind in terms of book ideas.

TV was the place I knew I could go with pitches that other outlets DIDN'T want to cover - e.g. the China Initiative. There was always a priority of helping readers understand the true impact to our country first, and their staff never backed away from doing the work to make it happen.

This is devastating, and I say this as someone who has written for Teen Vogue. TV did a tremendous job helping Americans understand politics during the first Trump term.

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Okay, all: If you're wondering what's going on with Trump's trade deals... I tell you in twenty seconds in this video I did for work. (Yes, you should watch/like/follow, hah. You'll get to see my giant head summarize trade for you on a daily? Weekly? Basis.) youtube.com/shorts/7Mo8D...

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

I adopted the 5 year old cats instead of the kittens. We had 11 and 13 wonderful years with them!

Most of you know Tortellini, but he was initially considered difficult to adopt, because he was so shy and traumatized from being abused by his previous owner. And, well - look at him now. Tl;dr - go for the least adoptable cats. They'll surprise you.

I know a lot of you have seen this already, but in honor of Halloween... I just pulled out fresh pumpkin pancakes in honor of my grandfather, and will be delivering them to neighbors when I take a break from work.

“I make them family dishes because that’s how they become family.” ❤️

In my family two surgeons are considering leaving. Dual citizenship already underway.

BREAKING: US judge permanently blocks Trump order requiring voters to prove citizenship reut.rs/49vlwXM

And this is adding onto the brain drain which already occurred during his first administration. I've posted about this before, but the China Initiative drove a lot of scientists out of the country.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court rejects district court's order that Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino report in daily in response to questions about whether the Trump administration is violating a TRO issued over treatment of protesters and journalists at the Broadview ICE facility.

BREAKING: A judge says that Trump can’t require citizenship proof on the federal voter registration form, siding with Democrats and civil rights groups.

This is the kind of thing where if you read the article and think about it for 5 minutes, it's extremely clear what a horrible thing lotteries are (and gambling too!)

Happy Halloween! www.patreon.com/posts/happy-...?

All, my very smart colleague Pat isn't on Bluesky, but he has a post about getting rid of the lottery which is worth reading:

In more urgent news, all - please be aware.

⬇️ Fellow Californians! @sesmith.lol has done all of the work for all of us. (Yes, on 50, please)

I love this. A lot.

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

Thread. For those who followed me this week? 100% follow Bill too. He's an airlines expert, and is closely tracking what the administration is doing around flying + aviation safety right now. If I didn't have Bill, I'd feel way less safe flying - seriously.

Boosting this again, because Trump literally just finished meeting with Xi. You're going to be hearing a lot about this one-year on rare earths today, and uh, that doesn't solve the problem. Seriously. Thread w/ podcast.

Just listened to Rush. Good overview. Can the West and the rest catch-up? Uh, honestly I think China will be even further ahead in a year and that includes on chips. But it can catch-up to the level of having a reliable non China supply chain in a couple of years is my guess. Until then..

@aajaofficial.bsky.social issued a statement about NBC doing the same: www.instagram.com/p/DQKhVG5jhu...
