Rest in Peace, Jaqueline Falk 🙏 www.msn.com/en-us/news/w... A good friend of mine unexpectedly took his own life 2 years ago. He was 51. Jaqueline was 60. Never assume your family members, friends or acquaintances are OK if you sense any signs. I missed them with my friend and always think about it

I am almost at the top (youngest) of the Boomers. Yay. But boomers are the bottom of the more modern classification. Dang... And no telling if I reach the age of the lower bounds of the Boomer range. Sigh...

Wow

For all the studious, self-serious, resource-sucking attention on every utterance from the president, I'm surprised this one very unique, very consistent tic of his hasn't had more attention: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

When Robin Williams said we all carry baggage nobody has any idea about and we should always be kind... He was right. Yes, he was. 💙

I am looking forward to the days when the rest of the work returns to watching our wonderful Broadway actors 💙🙏🫂

I put up Gene Kelly against my grand daughter's calorie burn rate based on their insanely impressive activities. I found that neither won but I lost against both of them 🥲

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

These involved people in the Iran talks, who are these people? Is this the year 2026 or 1970 ? They look so similar. I was hoping for a next generation of intelligent, energetic and creative people that shape a better future. Oh wait, I'm confusing this with the Mamdani approach.

This will not end well. x.com/HHShkMohd/st...

I learned over the years: You don't know what you don't know. It's almost impossible to explain to incompetent people... that they are incompetent. They don't understand it unless they are open to critique and learning over the years. We have too many incompetent people in powerful positions.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Let’s keep reading.

So this is coming up soon, right ?

I do not like early candidate speculation for Democrat presidential nominee. First, focus on 2026. Secondly: Democrats need a strong leader. A Superman if you want that has the charisma of a young Barack Obama combined with wisdom, experience and sense of urgency. There is nobody like this today.

Three examples that show the lack of integrity at HHS under RFK Jr: 1. Claimed that 10 kids died because of the COVID19 vaccine, never produced data. 2. Believe that glyphosate causes cancer, say nothing when Trump orders more. 3. Say that leucovorin treats autism, no FDA approval for this.

I like watching crime documentaries like ABC 20/20. I believe many people don't make the connection between action movies and reality. Nothing wrong with entertainment but I think teaching these realities should be middle -high school material. We need to show our kids the consequences of crimes.

I want to once again shout out attorneys like @doritreiss.bsky.social and @weparmet.bsky.social for their endless dedication to fighting for public health through the courts. The process can be slow, but progress is happening.

750000 people, mostly children, have reportedly died since the US administration cut USAID in 2025. 750000 human beings! The price per gallon at the pump is not my priority. 😥

We will charge you extra to speak to a human. The commercial doesn't say that but it implies that anything non-human is subpar, which is correct as of this writing. share.google/FXp7GGxiFQSy...

Letting my hair grow some. Not sure yet. Feels a bit weird. But hey, it's me 😀

Have ICE ages ever been good for humanity?

I love that little Flir Thermal camera that is attached to my mobile device. On a sunny day at 85 degrees (F), I compared a dock with pressure treated wood and a deck with composite that claims to be a cool material. Hardly any difference. Both around 140 Fahrenheit at 4:00 PM.

So happy to be back at my little waterski sanctuary. Little later than usual season start for me. Dang, I am rusty and old. Enjoy your body while it can support your sport.

The world is not ok. I hope the Hungarian people move it one small step into the right direction tomorrow. And the US in November 🙏💙

Democratic politicians still don't get the Mamdani message. I understand that the NYC mayor job is different from a House, Senate or even presidential race. But folks. Really ? All you have is being fed up with the status quo? Be inspiring, radiate hope, focus. You have a blue print now 😡😉

Anderson Cooper: What's.. what's this feel like (in a voice that is so humble because he really does not know). I like Anderson.

I am surprised Raye is not more popular in the US. Or maybe she is and I just don't know. She is magnificent in so many ways. youtu.be/9IhLL2wp1t4?...

I was frustrated that CDC no longer issues many health alert network (HAN) alerts, so I started my own. Weekly outbreak updates + as needed info for clinicians. As seen on Medscape, NPR. Most recent alert on extended RSV season. www.foiclinical.com

Managers or leaders put into positions above their abilities are causing chaos. I was one of them years ago. Some things work out because of your team. Overall it's a mess. Good senior leaders prevent or contain that. I hope we have enough of those left.

Sometimes I just can't find anything recent to watch. Then I resort to Seinfeld or Columbo. And folks Gen Z or younger look at me like... you guys liked this ? To this I respond: No, we loved it 😅

What's the most funny but also the most concerning this month (or this week) ?

The outrage is spreading wide and deep, nationally and globally. With one notable exception: US Congressional Republicans

I don't know what is considered mainstream media anymore. Aside from that, on Erin Burnett (CNN), Senate representative Chris Murphy just used the most clear and unequivocal language to describe current affairs. I like Erin and I like Chris 💙

”We find that AMOC collapse increases atmospheric carbon dioxide by 47–83 ppm, leading to around 0.2°C of additional global warming at higher carbon dioxide background levels after offsetting ocean-dynamics-driven cooling.” Feedbacks in action. #ClimateHeating www.nature.com/articles/s43...

If you are not watching Rachel Maddow on MS Now tonight, I suggest doing so. From the beginning.

Am I wrong in assuming that Congress would have to authorize an escalation in the US president's war in Iran? I thought that only short-term, targeted defensive military operations can be authorized by the executive. Anything beyond that can only be ratified by Congress. Not getting my hopes up but🤨

The moon is interesting. The Artemis II mission is fascinating and inspiring. We can see people's faces light up in joy speaking about it. But no photo or video from any planet is more beautiful than our home, earth. 💙

So much to observe here 💙🙏🤞

I could not agree more 👏

Artemis II is 170K+ miles from Earth today. But yesterday, Pilot Victor Glover was asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter. His response is worth listening to. And his advice is worth internalizing in advance of a difficult year ahead.

According to this nifty dashboard the Artemis crew get 8.5 hours scheduled for sleep! All those "I'm crushing it with 4 hours a night!" bros should take note. (That said I'm guessing that 8.5 hours includes personal and wind-down time) artemis-tracker.netlify.app

There was a time when this was one of the hottest songs, at least in Europe. And it was indeed. youtu.be/fDxzQJaA228?...

I have to remind myself more frequently nowadays that being kind and leading with positivity is more important than ever nowadays. The challenges our world is facing are not new. They are just new to us. Stay strong and fight peacefully. And for all our sakes, vote !

What a time to be alive www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
