What’s the deal with the Rams kicker? He was right there in the mix, looking like he was about to tackle someone after that punt.

This is the ideal dad attire. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
So it’s cold and I want to take a walk with my infant daughter down to the lake. I have a shirt that has a pouch to carry her around in and wanted to see if my flight jacket fit over without suffocating her.

It mostly does! It looks funny, but she’s very cozy.

I can't scream loudly enough that the people leading HHS right now are liars. RFK Jr. Marty Makary. Vinay Prasad. They are liars. And the lies they are telling are the lies eugenicists like themselves tell.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Important thread for anyone dealing with ICE/CBP in their community.
I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned:

1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

This happened to the boat with 11 people onboard, which means it was almost certainly migrants going from Venezuela to Trinidad. At most they might have also had some drugs on board (not that we'll ever know now), but you don't put 11 people in a small boat to primarily haul drugs.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

I just reread How We End by @lmjuniper.bsky.social, which is fantastic, btw, and I’m just floored by how the book seemed familiar and also quite new to me. I cannot wait to read the sequel. You all have to check it out.
