She used to have her production office on the Disney lot and I'd run into her every so often on the way to lunch. She always dressed in her signature style which always made me smile. So refreshing compared to the rest of us in our generic wear. Heart goes out to her kids.

I’m a CVICU nurse. I’ve looked at about eleventy billion EKGs. I’ve seen SR, AV blocks, afíb, flutter, vtach, vfib, & PEA… I can measure a PR interval, a QRS, ST elevation, etc., but never once have I, or any of the physicians I work with, used an EKG to determine someone’s “cardiac age.” 🙄

As a recovering cynic off the wagon, am prepared for one of the R "yes" votes to switch upon Grijalva's swearing in, citing some b.s. new concern. Hope I'm wrong...

You could buy a pile of cheap Dell servers that used to be say, pets dot com, and use them for a different thing like a software startup, but it will be harder to get investors for "we bought a sack of thermally-stressed GPUs and we're going to... hey Jim, what is this junk any good for again?"

I appreciate that the Post quickly rectified this situation and added a credit that we did this story first.

The American Prospect first reported on the Labor Department’s comments that immigration policies are endangering the food supply and that American workers are unwilling to take agricultural jobs.

A call to bookshops when setting up banned books displays. Feature alive authors who could be struggling due to this. Yes, Stephen King gets banned but he's doing ok financially. So many others are not.

Maris Kreizman @maris.bsky.social · 14h

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

@smerconish Michael, isn’t it possible that the reaction at CBS News to Weiss’ leap to the top is based not on ideology but on a little thing called competence?

I respect @laurenkaorigurley.bsky.social as a writer, but I reported this story 3 days ago, the story uses some of my same sources, and it's now at the top of the Post website, with no acknowledgement that @prospect.org already published it.
Read the Prospect, get the news first.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

What kind of bird is this? I just saw something similar, but with black head, white throat and soft gray body. It was beautiful but can't find it in any of my PacNW bird books.

Literally hold this man accountable in ANY WAY other than fining him, because he has the money and openly says that doing what he wants and just paying the fines is how he does things.
Better yet, stop hiring his companies.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
