SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

And worth noting also that there's a subset of Americans (namely folks with small kids and/or mobility issues) who end up really alienated by the glibness of bike/public transit folks, who might be more open to car alternatives if their needs were treated with more seriousness by those advocates.

I don't think me and my first born would have survived our first 6 weeks together in the outside world if my husband hadn't had parental leave. I find the discourse about if dads are helpful in those early days to be infuriating, even if all these men are saying is that they're shit dads + partners.

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."

They were both ministers. Different denominations.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

A deeply underreported story. I know so many people struggling to pay their electric bills

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

If you've been watching Love Is Blind for years and feeling like it's become more and more blatantly MAGA-coded—with increasingly misogynist men, you're not alone. Had to blog it out. www.wired.com/story/love-i...

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

I want applicants to understand that AI cover letters make their applications significantly more likely to get rejected. When your answer is verbatim what I got from 100 other people, it means I know nothing about you, your writing skill, or your actual work. I can only go off a scan of your resume.

Actor Eric Dane has died at 53, TMZ reports

not to be missed, though: her coach(?)’s literal cartoon-eyes awooga reaction

The sheer scale of the corruption - announced just today - is astounding and shameful.

Alysa Liu the phenom that you are!! This has got to rate as one of the best comebacks in history. Her own coaches tried to talk her out of returning to competition. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a skater who looks so much like she’s doing what she loves the most on her own terms.

A skater coming off the ice and saying “THAT’S WHAT I’M FUCKIN’ TALKIN’ ABOUT!” makes me so happy, given how punishing the ladylike discourse of my youth was when it came to this sport.

ALYSSA LIU FIRST US WOMANS SINGLES FIGURE SKATING MEDALIST SINCE 2006 LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
