1557 of us awake when we probably shouldn’t be, watching Island building in real time. I wonder what our early human ancestors would think of us.

Get you a boss who tears up as they acknowledge people from the custodial staff to fellow electeds and mentors.

Hot take: since Thanksgiving food is *all* food that is far better as leftovers you mcguyver get into strange sandwiches at 3am the next day, that is what Thanksgiving should be.
All the food made the day before, everyone gathers in the kitchen in their pajamas at 3am to go goblin mode on leftovers

Okay, my eye doctor told me that he talked to a physician who said that the evidence that hydroxychloroquine works comes from SA, where “everyone takes it and no one got sick”. 🤦🏻♀️
Long COVID’s hidden toll: the South Africans still battling fatigue, anxiety and memory loss.
In South Africa, over 4 million COVID cases were confirmed. For many, recovery was only the start; fatigue, poor focus and mood changes now affect work, relationships and quality of life.

I know that doctors probably hate when we say we found information on the internet, but I’m doing it to my vet tomorrow. Dug has a UTI again. He came home sick from vacation and they treated him for 5 days. 2 days after treatment it came back, and a culture showed borderline drug resistance. 1/

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Visited the site of the Olympic Pipeline leak yesterday. I met with the people working hard to dig out the pipe, find the leak and repair it. The emergency proclamation I issued last week is working as expected to increase fuel deliveries to SeaTac Airport and minimize impacts to travelers.
